It had taken quite a while for Billy to fall asleep after his mother had left him in his room. That was probably because he wasn't tired very much at all, only saying so because he wanted an excuse to not read anymore of that princess book his grandfather had gotten him. Billy did feel slightly guilty that he didn't like it, looking over at the picture of his grandpa that was sitting on his nightstand. Billy would hate to say something mean about the book out loud. Even thinking about how he didn't like it made him feel guilty.

He sighed and rolled over in his bed for what was probably the hundredth time, and shortly after, he finally fell asleep.
