`` Omigosh, Billy just said the nicest thing to me!'' My sister bounded into my room without even knocking. I sometimes wonder if she does that even when I'm not home. Does she still ramble on about her day, or does she actually realize that I'm not there? 
 
 `` Oh really, do tell. I am very invested in your stalking of whatever boy flashed you a smile this time.'' I lazily turned the page of my book, reaching for my bookmark. It was n't as though I cared about what my sister said; it's just that she is very distracting. 
 
 `` Ignorant!'' 
 
 I did n't think that I was that naive about her. `` Excuse me?'' 
 
 `` I know right, can you believe that he finally said it?'' 
 
 I stared at her, dumbfounded. `` You burst in here all excited because some guy called you... ignorant?'' 
 
 `` Well yeah, how many guys have said that to you?'' 
 
 I smiled to myself at the irony of the situation. Sometimes my sister forgot that I was her straight brother, and thus was not chased after by other guys. `` I do n't think you understand what the word'ignorant' means!'' How she had lasted that long without hearing it was beyond me. 
 
 Her voice boiled over with rage. `` Just because you'll never have what I have with Billy does n't mean you have to crush our love.'' 
 
 `` You do n't find love in the alley behind a gas station.'' 
 
 I did n't see her storm out of my room, as I had returned to my novel. It was just like her though to leave my door open. What a bitch. 
 
 `` I'm just glad I was n't the first to call her ignorant,'' I mused to myself. 
 
 **I'll be right back. I have to go water my cat. **
