Newbie

A small town boy is thrown out into the big City.

The boy that sticks out like a sore thumb wherever he goes, he likes it though. He's different and he knows that. He loves that.

Having to adjust to this new world he finds others that take him under their wings and finds out others like how different he is also.

I stared in awe at the subway train in front of me. I quickly make my way on before the doors close on me. I look to see all the seats and standing poles taken. I look up at the hanging handles and reach for it, only to see I'm just a hair too short to reach it even on my toes.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around to see a tall guy holding a handle. He taps his bicep as a signal for me to hold onto his arm instead.
