Ummm..hey, my names August. Im 24 and i live in my best friend,Levi's apartment in New York. My life was never really that great, i never had real friends and my parents were divorced when i was 7, and when i turned 11 my dad disappeared. I was bullied sometimes at school, but i still got a scholarship to Columbia University, which is where I met my three friends Levi, Simon, and DJ. After a year of going to that college i had to drop out because i couldn't afford it, so i went to live with Levi. When i was 23 my mom died and i started spending all my time with my friends which was easy since i lived with one. I work as an assistant at Hamilton Fish Park Library. The job is easy and only takes up four days of the week so i have a lot time off. Tonight however me and the guys decided to go to a bar. " Hey, dude are you gonna drink that?" Simon said. " Naw, you can have it," I said as i passed him my beer. " Dude whats wrong with you? Lately you've been so.... distant. You know what i mean?" DJ was right lately i had been thinking about meeting someone that understood me and liked me for me. " I'm ok DJ, just you know thinking about how tired I'm gonna be tomorrow. Its already 11:50 pm!" I said trying to sound as tired as possible. "Dude you don't even have to work tomorrow, none of us do. Its gonna be Sunday." "Ya it's just been a long day, I'm gonna head back to the apartment. See ya later." I was lying i had done nothing all day working at a library never made you tired. I just needed time to think and even though those guys are my best friends i don't think they'd understand. DJ and Levi both have girlfriends and Simon has a boyfriend. As I headed to my room in the apartment and laid down I wondered if i would ever find someone.

"Dude you have to help me with this bookshelf!" Levi yelled. " Be right there!" Levi moved into this apartment four months ago, but there was still stuff in storage that needed to be moved. " Grab that side," Levi said as we started to hoist the bookshelf up the stairs. " Ugg, why is it so heavy?" I asked feeling the wait of the bookshelf push me towards the ground. "Dude it's not. You just have no upper body strength," Levi said. "Oh hahaha, your so funny," I said sarcastically. "Ok, set it down here," As we set down the bookshelf a piece of my sweatshirt got caught on a handle and it tore a medium size hole in it. "Nooo!" I said thinking of all the places to get a new one. "Dude it's just one sweatshirt," "No. This one is my favorite!" I said "I'll be back i have to go to the mall and buy a new one," I said turning towards the door. "Don't wait up!" I called back
Hmmm i wonder who he will meet at the mall and what new things will happen there!! Stay tuned to find out!
