Day one of college and I already can't stand it.
The stupid kitten look on his face when the teacher told me I had to stay with him will haunt me for as long as I have to be here.

I don't think I can stand it here any longer. . .

"Hey! What's up!"

He stands there with his hands behind his back. His tail sprung out from behind him, as perky and pink as ever.

. . .

"What'chu doing?"

He swivels around you like he's sniffing you.

"Just doing some homework."

"I'm gonna go out. Wanna come?"

"Hmph. That sounds boring."

He's already situated in the seat beside me.

"Math homework is so hard."

I feel his knees press against mine as he leans over my work.
My hand begins to shake slightly as I write.

How does he always have this power over me?

"Really? You'd let me?"
