You probably have thought how asphalt could be romantic, well so have I. And i couldn't really say anything much right now, since I just moved in Astoria. Astoria is a neighbourhood in the western portion of the New York borough of Queens.

I have just woken up, and its quarter past three in the morning. That's why I probably woke up thinking about some kind of asphalt. Now I don't know how to fall asleep again - I guess i'll have to imagine saving a falling person on the streets or how my milk has expired..

Now just as soon as I fell asleep I woke up, and it's Monday's morning. I just sat and stared at my wall for about five minutes. Of course I have to go to my new school, so I packed my bag. I put biology instead of geography, just like i did in my old school. I know that Mondays are my bad luck days so i'm getting prepared for anything. I'm not really stressed about my new school since i know that teachers will love me any way. The only thing i'm a bit stressed of is that my principal is my grandma, and my canteen cook. She hopes i can brag to my friends about it, but i guess she forgot that i'm going to a new school with no friends. For now.

Just as i'm going to school on the other side of the road i see my old classmate, who's voice sounds like he has his throat filled with five liters of snot. He's probably going to think where i'm going since school is on the other side, but i hope he will stop and talk to me cause sometimes its nice to talk with someone you've haven't talked to in months. Just as i keep thinking about it, suddenly , he touches my shoulder and says -

''Hey Thaddeus, why are you standing here, are you okay?''

I froze. I didn't even notice that the green light was on, I couldn't even say anything to him because he had already left. Understanding what had happened i focused on crossing the road, but the traffic light was red. Kind of shitty, because i already woke up late. I should try going on the bus in the next few days. I decided to cross the road though the traffic light was red since i had no patience. And continued thinking about how my classmate touched my shoulder. Its rare that someone touches my shoulder. And i don't know why, i noticed that im blushing. Wanting to tell that to my friends at school, i realised that I no longer have them.
