what does it mean to be a human?

3

I wasn't feeling very well the next day, so I just stayed home. I still had a bad feeling about everything that happened. 'Why did Noah even talk to me? What was his reason? That all doesn't make sense at all'
I couldn't stop thinking. It needed to make sense... somehow...
I looked at my calendar. It was February 6th, one week till my birthday. I'll finally turn 18. It gave me a weird feeling. I never enjoyed my birthdays, because nobody ever remembered it, not even my own parents. They aren't even my real parents, I got adopted when I was 3, my actual parents both died. I didn't really like my new parents. I never see them anyway because I'm just in my room all day long. It's kinda depressing when you think about it but I don't care, I'm fine with it.
I sat down at my desk and started doing my homework. I was still a Great Student and didn't want to miss the day completely so I just did everything I would have done in school at home.
Hours passed without me even noticing, when suddenly the door bell rang.
'Who could it be? My parents couldn't be so soon at home' I thought as I walked out of my room, to the front door. I slowly opened it and looked outside. It was Noah, I kinda wasn't surprised, he was the only person I could imagine visiting me. "Oh hey what are you doing he-„ i wanted to ask but he instantly cut me off with a tight hug „hey man I missed you in school today!" he said a bit worried „oh I'm sorry I wasn't feeling well" I said. He looked at me weird „something is off, I can see it. Wanna talk about it?" he just went inside, I quickly followed him „oh no eh everything is okay.. but I do have a question.." I knew I had to ask him „how did you know my adress?" he stopped „oh I just kinda sneaked into the principles offices and looked in your Stunden file" he said a bit nervous and laughing. At first I was shocked but I didn't really want to go deeper into it so I just smiled and nodded. „Hey man, you know you can always talk to me if something is wrong. I'm your friend Edward. Please trust me" I looked away. ‚What was that? I never told anyone about my feelings or whoever something is wrong so why would he- ‚ he didn't even let me finish thinking „I know it can be hard to open up but I really like you and I want to help you"
‚help-? Why would I need help I'm complete fine!' I gave him a weird look. What was he even thinking?
„I know how people work Ed, I know you're not okay even tho you can't admit it. Just tell me what's wrong and we can find a solution together?" I didn't know what to say at first „I don't think there's something wrong, but thank you" he then just hugged me, but it wasn't like before, it was like a warm comforting hug. For the first time I hugged him back. ‚Maybe he isn't as bad as I thought, maybe he really is my friend?' „You're welcome" he smiled and then just left again leaving me standing all alone there.
After some minutes I finally realised that he was gone again and I finally closed the front door. I was still thinking about everything.'why did he do that? Was there a reason or... or was he just nice to me?' I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.. ‚no.. how can someone be nice to me? I'm a total loser!' I laughed at my own thoughts, not believing that it is possible for someone to actually like me.
