Get another guinea pig.
They Are very social animals.

Definitely get another.
Don't eagle claw them if you pick them up. Scoop them so they don't panic and scoot into a corner.
Don't feed them water vegetables too much or they'll shit themselves to death.
That fluffy paper-based bedding is your friend.
They can make a LOT of noise especially when they're hungry.

Be very nice to them

Unless you want them to fuck, get another female

Post a picture of the cage so we can tell you what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong so far

And have bazillions of babies.

Female/female pairing is good. They almost always get along fine after the initial bickering over space and role as boss piggy. When you get the new one, introduce the two in a neutral space with some veg to bunch on. Clean their enclosure so it smells neutral before putting them together in it.

Oh, also put three hides total in enclosure so they don't argue over hide space. When they become friends they'll often smoosh together in the same hide but you always need to have options available if they want alone time.

C & C cages are really nice. I personally have the Midwestern with the smaller side filled with shredded paper/carefresh bedding and the other side has a handmade guinea pig cage liner.
I have 2 girls, one is 2.5 months and the other is almost 4 years old.
If you get another guineapig, i suggest getting a bigger or a small sized one so that they don't fight over dominance too often. Guinea pigs need to establish their own hierarchy and it's easier with different sizes or different ages.
Make sure guinea pigs eat grass based hays (orchard hay or timothy hay) unlimited or multiple times a day. Pellets can be given too. As they age, make sure everything is TIMOTHY based as alfalfa hays/pellets can cause stones due to the high calcium concentrations.
Make sure the hay is out of the sun- to conserve its Vit D content.

They are very tasty. I recommend eating it with potatoes.

Also, never do dumb shit like scaring them. They can easily die that way.
