Chapter 1: 1

As I walked to school, distracted with my thoughts, I ran into Karina, a friend of mine that I usually hang out with in the morning. I instantly smile as I see she notices me. I rush over to give her my signature girlie, "Haiiiiii!" and she gives me a solemn "Hello." I could tell something was wrong by the scrunched up look on her face. So I naturally ask her , "What's wrong?" I listen to her talking about the many miseries of life, complaining about everything that makes us human. I stopped listening for a while, in my head, I disassociated myself. I was not longer there, but in a world of my own. I just smiled and noded. Thinking it was boring, wander through my head of all the other things I could've been doing. And so I wasted my time, listen to her miseries, until we were told to get to class. One step after the other, I walked looking intently at Karina, still listening to her distress, while walking to class. It is fortunate that we have the same class and that we are partners. So that I could listen to her yapping about the cruelty of life for another 2 hours. That is the price of friendship.
