Jim woke up again. Silently, like always. Not a creak from the floor, and a sound from any of his steps, he made it all the way to the kitchen. Jim liked to not be noticed, it made life easier. He made a bowl of cereal and, like everything else Jim did, ate it silently. After he was done, he sat and read. Jim would do many things in the morning, things that most teenagers would find excruciatingly boring. He still found it was fun. But, like every morning it would get ruined. 
 `` I told you I was going to pay the bills tomorrow!'' said Jim's mother. 
 She slammed the phone down. She always looked worse every day. It was small details, but Jim could tell. One more wrinkle, droopier eyes, weaker steps. Jim could tell. 
 `` When are you going to get a fucking job Kyle'' she asked, like every morning, repeating itself in an odd clockwork fashion that neither one of them seemed to realize. 
 `` When theres a `` fucking job'' to get'' Jim's father mockingly replied. And then the argument ensued. And, after years of practice, Jim ignored it. He was good at ignoring things. He eventually left the house, and biked to his bus stop. He waited, alone like always, and then sat in the lonely isle on the bus. He did n't have friends, but he did n't want friends. He liked being alone. He go into his class, and ignore his teachers for the 7 hours he was there, and then go back home. 
 `` Did you even look for a fucking job today Kyle'' she asked again, like every night. 
 He did n't answer. He just snickered as he opened a beer. Jim went to his room, and got back to ignoring them. He read, watched TV, sometimes, but rarely, did homework. Whatever it took to ignore them. Then he went to sleep, and woke up to that same sound that he always did. 
 `` Are you gon na get a fucking job today Kyle'' she asked, once again. 
 Like clockwork, Jim thought. Like clockwork.
