Without a second thought, I bolted to my car as if my life depended on it. I quickly got in and drove off without putting on my seat belt, not worrying about it for the time being. After an hour of driving, I finally reached the highway, only to encounter heavy traffic. Frustrated, I vented my anger by hitting my steering wheel repeatedly. I searched through my bag to find my phone, and I decided to call my date because I wasn't sure how long it would take me to return. The phone began ringing, and each beep made me nervous. I wanted her to pick up; no, I desperately needed her to answer. Feeling distressed, I heard a voice on the other end of the call say, "Hello? I searched through my bag to find my phone. I decided to call my date because I was unsure about how long it would take me to return. The phone started buzzing, and each dial tone heightened my nerves.

After getting out of my car and locking the door, I hoped not to get a parking ticket.

I exclaimed, as a worried thought suddenly hit me. I ran over to my PC, which was on, with a movie tab open widely on the screen, but I couldn't help but start pondering to myself.  (Well, I didn't finish watching The Boys last night. I guess I'll finish it when I get back from my date.) "Yep, your boy got a date, and the best part is she's hella bad," I muttered aloud as if I were talking to someone, but there wasn't a single soul in my room. In fact, there wasn't anybody living in my apartment except me. Yeah, it's kind of lonely living by yourself sometimes, even scary when it...
