20• Where Are We?

We climbed up the steps and was welcomed by a blast of people speed walking, cars zooming past, Halal food stands, people selling sunglasses on the corner and chatter.

"Welcome to Manhattan." Kwon said

I froze and looked at him with my jaw wide open "NO WAY! I thought we were just gonna grab some grubbbbbb!!!"

"Yeah. And explore. I never really been around here so take note of where we are." He looked around

On my phone notes I typed 'red 2' for the subway. "Got it."

"Dora, Dora, the explora!!!!" Kwon sang

"Uh uh." I jumped on his back

"That's my song, dafuq you mean uh uh?"

"What I just said nigga."

"Hush child, let's go I heard of this place called Ben's. I wanna try a wrap."

"Then let's go. I have money. Fifty to be exact. I'll pay for us." I smiled and got off his back. We walked down multiple blocks.

"Damn I'm full!" I slumped in my chair. And took another sip of sweet tea.

Kwon finished his wrap and downed a bottle of water. The waiter gave us the bill and payed. Each wrap was twelve dollars, five dollars for the water and sweet tea, and plus tax. Thirty two dollars.

"Expensive as hell." I put money down on the table next to the receipt

"You don't have to pay for all of that."

"No! You're so sweet and have helped me. I own you, it's cool."

"Thanks so much. You're awesome."

I smiled "No problem."

After we finished eating we walked around and went to many different attractions. I took about 30 pictures.
   I began to feel less sad about what happened. Kwon is an awesome guy and pretty funny, he was cracking jokes the whole time while we were eating causing me to almost choke every time I laughed.
