    After about an hour of being in the car, we finally arrive at the house. Not gonna lie, it's a pretty nice house. Without a word, I stumble out of the car, grabbing my bags. Medda smiles at me, then turns to Jack.

    "Jack, will you show Antonio to his room?" He nods and walks over to me. We walk in silence. I guess he finally got the hint that I'm not interested in talking to him or anyone else in this damn house. After I put my bags on my bed, he shows me around the house, showing me shit like where the bathroom is. Thanks, but I can figure this shit out myself. 

    He soon leaves me alone to unpack. I only have one backpack of belongings, so the unpacking process goes pretty quickly. Just a few articles of clothing, a few books, and some miscellaneous items. My clothes don't even take up 1/4th of the closet. This is the first time I've had a real closet since I was living with my biological parents. I leave the items in my backpack and shove the bag in the closet. Then, I flop on my new bed. There's no popcorn ceiling for me to stare at this time, which made me kinda sad. 

    After a few hours of staring at my ceiling and my phone, Medda comes in unannounced and without knocking. She sits down on the edge of my bed and I scoot down to the opposite side. She stares at me and smiles as if waiting for me to say something. When she finally realizes that I'm not going to start the conversation, she takes matters into her own hands.

    "So...do you like your room, Antonio? I know it's bland now but you can decorate it however you want." She starts. I just stare at her and she sighs. "I know that this is new and scary, and we'll give you as much time as you need to get settled in. Are you hungry? I'm about to start dinner and I'd love it if you could join us." I shake my head. "Well, I'll save some for you. Promise me you'll eat something tonight?" I just stare at her, blankly. I can't promise shit. I don't even trust her! She sighs again. "Well, I'll leave you alone. I know you don't wanna be around me right now. I'm sure you'll love it here eventually." And with that, she leaves. Yeah, like that's gonna happen. If everything goes according to plan, I'll barely have to see them.
