Contemplating this, I take the train home to school, I had begged my parents not to send me to an all boys school. That I wouldn't get such social interactions with girls, leaving me shy and awkward around them. But they had just insisted; and so while I stood there like an idiot the train started moving and I nearly tumbled onto the cold metal ground. I caught myself before I took a nice heavy bruise. I stood up and looked at the beautiful shades of blue the mountains made in the distance. With a good short sigh I found myself a seat, and to my startling luck I find myself next to him, or her, whichever. Barely noticing me despite the fact I nearly stumbled as she also looks ahead at the mountains. My cousin told me that without these trains that placed themselves high above the streets, it would really be difficult to get around the city. He was the kind of guy who is amazed by things most of us take for granted, the mountains protecting us ahead, the free train service, and the hot dog salesmen. I said 'hi' to him, her, hir. She greeted back with a smile that pried into me, like she wanted to be friends, or maybe not. We talked for a while, school things mostly, she left to her stop and once again I realized I never asked why she dressed herself as a boy. I guess I really don't want anything new to startle me.
