The day was already over, and it was evening. George hasn't done anything interesting, but got the box his mom sent him from London. Not forgetting the man he saw in the hallway when he came home. The man looked weird and stared George in really weird way. What George could tell, the man's name is Dream and he lives next to George.

It read on his door. George promised himself to not pay attention to other peoples doors, but he couldn't help himself. He hoped he didn't look creepy or weird, because he didn't want other people to stare at his door.

 Time went extremly fast today. Atleast George thought that. He doesn't know about other people. Tomorrow would be Sunday and he didn't know what to do. Bake maybe?

George was sitting on the floor, about to open the box. He grapped the scissors and carefully opened the it. The first thing he saw was a card. George confused picked up the card and read it.

"Dear George. I sent you a punch of old stuff from your room, so you dont forget the memoriez from here. I hope you are doing okay there. We all miss you."

love mom

George putted the card down, not wanting a punch of emotions come over him. He took a better look inside of the box and saw a lot of old stuff. There was harry potter movies and books. Also some paintings and drawings.

He was pretty creative back then, and drawed whener he got a change. Now he didnt really do anything. He was getting older, and didn't like it.

He sighed as he took a look in the kitchen. There was a garbage bag that was getting really full. It also started smelling. Clock was alredy about 11 pm, but there was still time to take it out.
He didn't know if it was a good idea to go out this late, but if he didnt go now he would never.

George grapped the garbage bag, and hold it as far away as possible from his  nose. He went to the hallway seeing that the elevator was still broken. It has been broke for almost 3 weeks.

He made himself down to the hallway with the smelling bag on his hands. He hoped the smell didn't stick to his clothes.

It was already dark outside, and there was grey clouds covering the sky. The garbage cans were at the corner of the building, in the most creepy place ever.

People said that there were found a lot of dead rats. George didn't like rats, and thats why he only came there when needed to.

George walked to the corner, and immediately saw a tall man standing there. He got scared but acted normal, not wanting to look weird. The man was stading just infront of the garbage can. "Are you kidding me?"  He thought. Now he had to speak to the man.

Or maybe he can go back inside and go back here tomorrow. Before he was gonna turn away he heard the man speaking. "Hey sorry, am i on your way?" He said. George didnt know what to say and stood there. The man stepped back from the garbage can. George assumed that now it was his time.

George opened the garbage can, avoiding to make an eye contant with him. "Sorry if i made you scared, didnt mean to" He said in calming voice. "Its fine." George said. He didn'qt see the mans face because it was really dark, and the building didnt have any lights.

The man got something from his pocket. George heard two clicks, and then suddenly a really bright light flashed the mans face. George jumped, but was now able to see the mans face. He had curly short hair and classes.

His hands covered his mouth. Second after there was smoke coming out of his mouth. He was smoking. George didnt know why he was still there, and was about to leave. But i guess the man wanted to keep up the converstation.

"Do you want one?" The man said offering him a small box of cigarettes. "Uhm no thanks, im good" George said giiving him akward smile. "Okay" He said and shrugged his shoulders.

"You live here, right?" The man asked making George felt scared. "yeah" He responded. He smoke another cigaret. "Im wilbur nice to meet you"  He said offering his hand to George.

"George" He said as they shaked hands. "I have seen you here couple of times, and you look cool, i thought you would make a good friend." Wilbur said smiling at him.

"Thank you?" George didn't want to look mean and just smiled. Now only he heard the leaves of the trees rustled. And wilbur smoking.

"I should really stop doing this, im gonna die if i continue." Wilbur said, and throwed the cigarette away. He probably meant smoking. "Why dont you stop then?" George asked.

Wilbur looked George in the eyes and then on the ground. "I wish i could just stop, its really addicting." He said smiling at George. "Why do you even smoke, if you know its gonna kill you?" George asked, and knew his curiosity was taking over him.

"You know when you need to clear your head? Like when your thoughts are getting too bad? Its like an escape." Wilbur told him. "There would be better ways, but i chose the wrong way" He continued.

George was shoked as how accurate wilburs live was to his. "Oh yeah i get it"  George said. "You got a crazy mind like i do?"  Wilbur asked. "If you wanna put it that way then yes." George laughed a little.

"We should be friends you know. Great minds think alike right?" He laughed. "Can i get your number?" He asked. "Yeah sure." George responded. He was feeling way more comfromtable now. When there was a person that understood his feelings was nice. George handed Wilbur a paper with his number in it.

"It was great to meet you Wilbur, but i really have to get going now." George said. "No worries. We can maybe hang out some time." Wilbur smiled. "Sure" George said with calming smile on his face.

"Uhm just to be sure, are you not gonna go inside? Its pretty cold too." George asked, just wanting to be nice. "Dont worry about it, im gonna be fine.". Wilbur responded. "If you say so. Well see you!" George waved at him and then dissapeared to the front of the building.

George felt a slight smile appearing to his face. He made a friend. He was weird at first but still calm and nice.

Maybe still there is a change that everything will be okay.
