some guy approached me at school today. this guy was tall but not really, but really. he had short black hair, brown eyes and real nice dark skin. this guy asked me for my name and for a second i forgot what it was. i forgot my name. he stared a bit longer until the silence was a game he quit playing. i tell him my name is e. pronounced the way as letter e in the english alphabet, he smiled as if my name meant that heaven is indeed a place. i smiled too, infected by his. the guy searches his pockets and hands me a piece of paper with 10 digits written on it. a name on the side, paul. the guy cleared his throat and spoke quietly, could you give this to your friend? i really like her a lot... the boy said. my heart jumped off the central park tower and my smile went back to sleep. i folded the paper and happily agreed. he left. the bell rang. and i walked away.
