20 questions :: m.c [on hold]

01 :: art gallery

winter, is normal in new york city, but winter to the extreme isn't normal in new york city. the art gallery is close by, but the frost is too unbearable.

finally reaching the art gallery, where the social event was, i was relieved. relieved that i will finally be in a warm enviorment, with free food, beverages and wi-fi. god bless social events.

probably being the youngest one there, i felt out of place. people my age would probably be going to parties, or stressing out about homework and relationships, but you see, i'm not really like those people.

i like drinking tea, listening to music, and only talking to the people, i have to talk to.

see, i'm a bit socially awkward, so i have a hard time making a lot of friends. but i wasn't always like this. up until grade 7, i was a social butterfly, but then grade 8 came, and shit hit the fan. people became different, and i was one of those people. i became socially awkward. i don't know why, but i just did. a lot of things happened in grade 8 for me.

i got braces, my first period came ( i was the last of my friends), i lost weight because of the height i gained over the summer (which wasn't that much, but whatever).

surprisingly, i didn't get the awkward acne, and other awkward things teenagers get.

but thats beyond the point. i walk around and try to find daniella.

daniella is my older cousin. she works in the art's department so she invited me along with her, as her plus one. she thought, it would be a good idea for me to get to see how things work, so that i can choose a career ,but im only 14. what good will that do to me now.

i'm bound to change my mind about what i want to eat for dinner later.

i can't find daniella anywhere, which is by the way, just perfect *insert sarcasm here*. so i might as well just leave. while i make my way out, i see a platter of food that looks really good.

i make my way back for the platter, when i bump into a hard figure.

"oops, my bad" i say shyly.

"no worries bud. you okay?" the stranger asked.

"oh yea, im good. again really sorry, i was just heading out." i sad quickly.

the stranger just smiled. huh,for a stranger at a social event in New York,  he seemed very nice. if it was someone else, they probably would've  given me so much shit for bumping into them, but this guy wasn't like that. or at least, didn't seem like that.

"hey, bud, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"i'm here, because my cousin daniella invited me, as her plus one, to see how her job works, but i guess she never even showed up." i said.

"oh, that sucks. want me to take you home?"

"it's still pretty early. i can go by myself."

"you sure, you look pretty young, and i don't think it's safe."

"says the one who's a stranger" i say back, feeling a bit more comfortable around the guy.

"fine, let's go somewhere, and get to know each other, so then you'll trust me."

"um, okay. i guess, as along as you don't kiddnap me." i said.

he let out a soft chuckle.

"don't worry bud, i won't."

as we were walking out he stopped me.

"oh by the way, my name's michael, and i'm 20 and i am single because i am the biggest dork ever, since i play video games while my friends go out to clubs and parties, and, who would never try to kiddnap anyone." he says, with a little laugh at the end.

i just smiled and laughed a but.

"hi michael, nice to meet you."

okay, so i am sooooooo excited for this, and wowowowowowow dsfkjslkfdlkgjldfkg i love this and okay bye. BTW LOWERCASE IS INTEDED!!!
