The landlord came round today. I figured he wanted to apologise.
"Did you know that you've got 'peedo' spray painted across your door?"
I looked at his hands. He grinned a little bit.
"What, have you been trying to lure the neighbourhood kids up to your apartment?"
I looked away from hands, at his eyes. His grin turned awkward.
"What?" He got more serious, "have you?"
He wasn't grinning at all anymore. He was holding his lips out. Like he was about to mouth a word starting with "wh".
"Where is Celene?"
The whole time I had been sitting on my bed. I looked at my computer. MySpace was on.
I looked back at his eyes. My mind was stuck on all the ways that he could have asked me where she was. I had about six in my head, but the way he did say it was probably the way I would least have expected him to.
I told him that. He sat down on my bed. Next to me. I thought he was going to apologise. He had that sort of tone to his expression.
"Look." His eyes just suck you in. The landlord is probably the saddest guy I know. "This place is a mess. No one is collecting the rent. If you don't let someone be the landlord it's all just going to fall apart."
I looked back at MySpace. I slowly moved to the mouse. I brought up a page with all of my friends on. I have eighty friends. I had to open the second page to see them all.
"I'm not asking you to pay me much. I just need to be a part of this again."
His mom had probably told him that he couldn't stay at her place anymore. I don't think they got on well.
I told him that I hadn't eaten since christmas. I had even eaten all three cans of beans. I hate beans. I was so hungry.
I smiled at him, but he looked away.
