A day off in New York

Welcome my friend, to the Big Apple!

Tina is back! WOOT! Wow! 3 entries already! This is crazy! It's not sparta, but crazy. Hehe. Well, here is entry number 3 of my crazy day off from school.
Ok, so Raymond and I, finally, got out of school just for one day. That's all I need, one day with him. Like I said in my second entry, he is moving away and I just want to give him the best day of his life here in New York. Luckily, we got a taxi to take us to the city area. Traffic was bad because of some kind of incident with some demon dog things and some lady being possesd, I don't know, I was only listening to the raido being brodcast about the incident. Raymond and I decided to ditch the taxi, yes we paid, and walk around the area. "Wow, this place is huge! It has everything! Even good looking trash cans!" Raymond said with such excitement he sounded like a 5 year old receiving a 1 dollar bill. I mean, its evey 5 years old dream to get a 1 dollar bill, right? "Yea, I know its a big city, I mean its called the Big Apple for some reason. Ya know.", I said with such enthusiasm. Raymond was still very excited that he actually ditched school to go to the city. While we were walking down some sidewalk near a store that sells like old video stuff, some guys in some beige like jumpsuits came out of the store. One of the men, the guy with the glasses, he was holding some kind of box that was smoking. I have no clue what it means, but I didn't care, I was with my friend the whole time. Which made the moment to me special. Anyways, after that small fiasco, we were walking around and just talked about practically anything. No, not related to sex you perverts out there reading this entry.
"So, how is school?", Raymond said with a small grin on his face, trying not to blush. "School is ok, even though I ditched it about 8 times, its ok." I tried really hard not to blush, because I'm talking to the man I really badly want to tell him how much I really care. More then the like like factor. It's like the straight on I love you senario. "How about you?" I said with a small grin. "Eh, the usual, same old high school, same old classes, same everything. We have one week left at Rosebud High, and then we go our separate ways." he said that, but with a sad tone in there with a mix of happy as well. "Well, are you excited though for becoming an Alumni of Rosebud High? I mean, you are going to visit me for my senior year right?" I said with a worried tone while trying to cheer him up at the same time. " I don't know Tina, I don't know. I am sure going to miss this place this is the only time I am spent alone with a friend in the city"  From the looks of it i think he looked pleased I took him to the city. When Raymond was done talking, some weird sirens from a car was going on. The sirens sounded like cats dying or some bagpipe or wind instrument going bad. The car had flashing blue lights with some weird symbol. Heck, I didn't know and I still didn't care.
It's lunch time, obviously if it is lunch, it means we are hungry. So, we decided to get some hot dogs from the hot dog stand. Thank goodness they were not expencive or else, we wouldn't have lunch at all. "Two hot dogs please." Raymond said it with such happiness I was glad. When the man looked into the cart where the hot dogs were, there was like a green spud thing eating the hot dogs. "HEY!!!! THAT IS FOR HUMANS!!!!!!!" I was so mad! That spud thing ate my hot dog! I mean if anyone is hungry and someone, or something, ate your lunch, you would be mad too. "It's ok Tina, there is a pizzaria close by, want to go?" "Sure. I would love to." While walking towards the restraunt, we were exploring more of the city like Time Square, and the Nintendo Store. I am a huge nerd for video games, so I had to go inside and get some awsome pictures with the stuff. Sadly, we didn't have enough money to buy anything. Only enough to get food at the pizzaria.
The pizzaria was small, compared to the firehouse next to it called Hooks & Ladders, it had that same weird symbol like on the cat sirens like car. The waiter was Italian so it was funny tryin to talk to him. " Ello, my name is-a Chef Palo-a. Would you-a like a soft drink-a?" "May I have a strawberry lemonade?" Raymond said with such enthusiasm, but in a calm way to be polite of course. " And, May I have a Sprite?" "Okie dokie." The waiter was very nice to us. I heard  it was a good pizzaria in the area but, I didn't know so it was a first for me. So, it works for me. Raymond still had that sad look on his face. He is going to have many memories he is going to remember in New York, with me. AND THAT DANG CAT SIREN CAR! UGH! Such an annoying car at times. I still talk to him as I am writing down this entry in my journal I hope to send to him soon. But, yea, he means a lot to me. I don't want to see my friend sad on a day like today. Who doesn't?
