As soon as Mike entered my room, it began to become   33 . To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes and toys everywhere!
One evening, I was doing some   34  on my computer while Mike was listening to music.  35  , I left my seat to get some water. A big surprise was waiting for me when I   36 . He was using my computer to play game. I had forgotten to save the homework. Sadly, he had closed my program   37  saving it—all I had done had disappeared! I   38  him. He cried a lot as my mother came and beat him. My mother also asked him to leave my room at once.
Then I did my homework   39  . At 10: 00 pm. I finished it. When I was going to turn off the   40 , I saw the photo of my   41  that he had put on my table.

He woke up, got up and said. “I’m sorry. I won’t bring you any more trouble.”
I was as moved and said. “From now on, my room is not only mine. It is   45 !” That very night, Mike and I shared not only the room, but the bed.
