Second skin.

These newbies love to sing to singstar. They talk in different languages, even though when they speak it's universal, it's still different to you. It's a melting pot here. They drink Mojito's and Cider. And even though you're still happy, your still sad. It's just not the same and it won't be. Not for a while. These newbies have become our family in the space of a week. And don't get yourself wrong, they are a warm family. You have your own big brothers who give you cigarettes and other things. You have your sisters who you can gossip to. But you still feel apart from them. So now our sitting outside, I suppose you could call it being anti-social, smoking your cigarette thinking about how all you want to do is to curl in your bed, listen to the xx and write this down. It seems to make for a good story, at least while you wait for a reply. That wont come, until a respectable time in another time zone.
