In that moment all of those colors started to ache me. “I thought you liked Central Park. I mean, I like the simplicity of it: nature, snacks...” “Well, yes. But. You know you’ve got money. Why don’t I get a part of it?” Once again, I understood that Megan was just like the rest... interested on barely what other had told her, what people in school thought was cool and all that. Why? I had always tried to treat people like I would want to be treated, but this was just another deception. “Well, I think you liked me because of who I am, and not really by what I buy or can afford” I said, beginning to infuriate “If I ain’t that important to you, I understand” she yelled as she began to cry “Megan, hey, I’m not saying that...” “No, I do know what you mean, you penny pincher” She broke into tears. She was just another person, one of those who do not have the guts to question anything. She had just come with me because of what they had told her. How could I had been so naive? I was about to hug her when she stood up and screamed: “I hate you!”. She started to walk away, as I stood up and tried to speak with her. What an error I commited! She pushed me towards the lake, and left the scene screaming and running. I was cold, really cold and felt a crack on my arm. I couldn’t stop thinking about Megan and how I was stupid to trust her. I just thought about noon, when I met her on the subway and convinced me to go to the eat with her.
