Considerable

8:41 PM

I watched as the taxi drove away before turning to face Daniel's home. It was nice, better than the average. His parents had a quite amount of money, and really liked their only son. They loved helping him out whenever he needed anything.

My parents, on the other hand, are just common folk. They did love all 3 of their children equally, but I was, no doubt, their favorite. I actually focused on my studies and wasn't sneaking out to parties or to meet up with different guys. I have two older brother and sister, and their lives are pretty shit right now.

My brother, Xander, hangs out with crack heads and junkies, but lies to mom and dad by saying he's going to film school. My sister, Karla, jumps from boyfriend to boyfriend. I guess you could say she gets a new room mate every month or so. I try not to interfere with their lives that much, because I fear it'll mess up mine.  And I've got a pretty good thing going. A small apartment, a decent paying job, a good friend, and a whole lot of acquaintances around the city. And now with this new project, it's getting better. My crew is pretty good at what they do. We've got several graduates from Harvard, a bunch of rich folk. Around 11 people total. And all very smart.

I'm very lucky to be blessed with this.

Lost in thought, I kinda forgot who I was supposed to go see. I proceeded to walk up to his front door and ring the door bell.

Late, late, late.

I patiently waited for him to answer the door, while making quick adjustments to my appearance. Then suddenly the door swung open. Daniel stood in the doorway, dressed formally and sniffling. His eyes look watery, and his face was red.

I almost forgot how sensitive Daniel was.

He tried to play it off as if he wasn't crying. He quickly wiped his eyes and smiled. "I'm sorry, I .. Its- just.. I fell, and it hurt." He wiped his tears off again with a free hand and closed the door as I walked in.

"I know how sensitive you are, Daniel. Don't worry, I wouldn't have missed this for the world." I smiled at him and tried to calm him down a little.

Daniel is sensitive from all the pressure of high school. It screwed us both up. People didn't like him much because of how wealthy his parents were. The older guys would pick on him, the girls didn't talk to him much. I guess that's why we're still friends. We only had each other during those years. But our friendship wasn't all that close, it'd surprise some.

"I"m glad you made it. I have to excuse myself, but please, make yourself at home." He flashed a smile at me and walked over to the bathroom on the right side of the front door. I took off my small fur jacket and set it on his coat rack on the left of the front door, then took off my shoes and set them beside the rack.

I walked to the living room and sat down on his pearl white couch. It really was a nice place, white couches, art hanging on the walls, white fur carpet, and expensive HD TV hanging over the fireplace.

The bathroom door opened and Daniel walked out, the redness from his face gone, clearly washed. He smiled again and motioned toward the dining room.

I got up again and walked over to the dining room and took a seat at the table. the plates were already set and something smelled really good. He began to serve the food and start a conversation.

My eyes slightly opened as the alarm repeatedly struck my ears. I groaned as I pressed the snooze button several times on my phone, until I realized it already turned off.
