At first he was tolerable, now he's testing my every last nerve. His semi long hair is flying about his defined face as he headbangs to his obnoxious music. I'm a 110% ready to punch his lights out, I'm not usually one to resort to violence either.

I try to finish typing my essay, which is due in less than 24 hours, on my trusty laptop. The disgustingly wallpapered walls of the lift are making me anxious. In fact I swear this lift was bigger before.

Desperately, I try to take my mind of the encroaching walls with my schoolwork but it's no use. I can't concentrate with him crashing around and shouting the lyrics to his horribly angsty songs.

If I don't say anything soon I'll go insane. With my hands shaking, I take a deep wobbly breath.

"Can you please stop with the noise, I can't breathe" I bark as tears start to spill because the claustrophobia I'm experiencing becoming too much for me to handle.

"Nah I'm good" He replies with a shrug before turning his music up.

I clench my fists in anger. If I didn't hate him before I most definitely hate him now.
