The next morning I decided to call him on my way to school, earlier this time, but when I passed the store I went by the day before, I knew that wasn't necessary because he was standing in the exact place he had before.
I went up to him and gave him a tight hug, nothing like acquaintances would do.
I lit up my cigarette and we started chatting about our life, but after a few minutes the conversation got a bit profound, because I started talking about my past.
-As a kid, I never really had friends, you know? I was always that 'weird' kid, but just because I have schizophrenia doesn't mean I'm an unusual person an should be forgotten or ignored, I said starting to tear up.
Astrophel gave me a tight embrace and kissed my forehead, then he said something that marked me for the rest of my life:
-Only the smartest and unique people feel or are alone, because this cruel world doesn't deserve them. You are one of them, Gis.
I cried into his arms without realizing I was once again late for school, when I realized how insanely late I was, we farewelled each other and I ran to class.
When I got home all I could think about was Astrophel.
After dinner I went in my room and called him.
We exchanged sweet words that mean nothing in the real world.
Subsequent to the end of the call, I felt a lust for touch that I have never had before.
I hoped into the shower and let the burning water stream against my back as I thought about what happened that day.
Therefore to that night I fell asleep fantasizing about Astrophel's hourglass silhouette and his handsome completions.
