15 birthday has arrived, nothing has really changed so far. you go out with your best friend for a shisha cause that's what he insisted to do, well whats there to actually say cause that was the trend those days. Smoking away as we talked i asked him " dude do you ever feel like there is something more than just having fun ? " he reply with an unsure face " what?, dude we are here to enjoy don't get so deep i mean we are still young. " i nodded and kept on smoking. Few weeks ahead i started to think, maybe i'm looking at things differently maybe i should just try and find people who really understand me people who are like me, and so i thought but the sad thing was i had no clue whether there are anyone like me or where to find them. It was on a Friday me and the current crowed went out for a walk where we usually go to one specific location and smoke some cigarettes and talk away. As i look at the ocean from where i currently was i saw something different there was a person sitting all alone on the other side of where we were. I was so curious why he was there alone i wanted to go there and ask him but before i could walk his way my friends called him and started to go all verbal on him, they called him and said " hey, what are you doing this is our area get lost" though he didn't do anything he just sat there with his headsets on and just stayed quietly. Before my friends could go at him like they always does i told them just let him be. 15 minutes past everyone in the squad have already left and yet that guy all alone just set there i just couldn't hold it together anymore my curiosity was at peak. I went by him and poked him on the shoulder, he looked at me and asked " can i help you? " i replied " ahhhh, well i was wondering why your alone and i thought you could use some company." he replied saying " weren't you with those guys back there?" i didn't really know how to reply to that and i just sat there and said " so what? that doesn't mean that i cant be friends with you". That day we sat there and talked a lot, so much i lost track of time. Days went on like this i stopped hangout with the squad and i only hung out with him, i never had this much fun in my life its like he was the thing that was missing in my life all this time.
