Bending

Neil took off his headphones and opened the door. “Umm what exactly is it that you need?” “Can I have your study room I’m below you and there are holes in the door so I can hear outside and I’m really stressed for my interview.” “I’m sorry. I really need to study.” Neil stood there not making any room to come in. “Ummm okay,” she said with disappointment and slight judgement that Neil should have helped her. She walked away.“Why should I bend over backwards for complete strangers? One hour before they need something. They should have gotten up like me. I have things just as pressing and important to do too and no one was nice to me when I had an interview,” Neil said as he returned to his work in a huff.
