"Do I go to work and attempt to come up with some excuse?" I could not stay in my room no matter how much I tried. I miss my old room.

The current room was barely half the size, but it had the essentials, like a decent bed and books. Nonetheless, the walls seemed to close in on me, urging me to venture outside.
