Pointless fight

I get on the subway, and see a flash mob dressed in bright disco suits. I take a few pictures on my phone, and think Only in New York. As I’m on my way to Daniels store, I see a girl standing on a crate playing the violin. I give her a dollar, and study her face. As I walk into Daniel’s family store, the bells chime, and Charlie, his brother is at the counter. I ask for Daniel’s phone number, and get hits me with jokes like, “Are you attracted to Korean boys or something?” Suddenly, I then realize what Charlie’s problem is with Daniel. Daniel is more comfortable, and confident in his own skin than he will ever be. My phone rings, and it’s Daniel. I ask where he was, and he was back at my lawyers office. Wow, maybe he did care. At the same time we both apologize and forget. I finally find him on a bench, and he is bruised all over. Turns out, he got into a fight with Charlie before I even got there. I tell Daniel about my goods news, the possibility of me staying in America. He then tells me that his College interview is also at the building of my interview. We head up to the rooftop till his interview, and I realize how the city looks different from up here. You can see the sky, clouds, and not just walls of concrete.
