You can never fully apprisiate the sites and sounds of New York until you actually come. Hayden had been sheilded all her life by her parents in the land of New Jersy, but here, here things were just different. Even the hobos had more life to them here then in Trenton. It just seemed like God had waved a magic wond on about everywhere but sparkled just a hair more on New York. And here at the heart of Times Square was the place where he had sparkled the most. Yellow taxis flooded the once charcol black pavement, and people colored the walls of shops and resturants.

This all was especally enchanting to Hayden who had been to Times Square only as a tourist looking in, seeing the bright glam, and shinning faces of models. But now, Hayden had become just another New Yorker, not the beutiful kind that you want to put on your shelf, but the humble, indie, coffee drinking type.

Hayden was plain almost to the point of boring, about anyone can find them selves in New York, right. Anyway she soon was going to hopefully find something, inbeetween the streetslights of New York.

Hayden flipped on he Ipod and clicked suffle. Sounds of Postal Service and Artic Monkeys ran through her brain, like a dream. Life, for just a second had become an apsolute blur. Nothing could harm her, nothing could make her cry. Everything was just perfect, a distant melody. The Starbucks sine stude a glow in frount of her, Hayden smiled and pushed open hte door.

Everyone needs a break from amazing some times. Dark Charry Moccas are amazing in the darkness of night. The cashier rang her up and handed it to her, Hayden opended the lid, and crossed the store to openback out into the crisp air.

Nothing could stop here, at the moment, Hayden had become Super Man amouncted the casualties of everyday living. It was simply breath taking how anything could change like this.

Madison, like many people was wowed at the sight of Times Square New York. She had lived here for only a year or so and had been to Times Square a couple times over that year, but today she was going to just go and enjoy the sights and sounds that new York offered. Stepping off the subway that brought her into the center of Times Square she sighed. This was what it was all about, New York truly was a wonderful place to be if you pushed aside the fact that people loved to rob you here. She kept her things tightly to her just in case. Walking down the street she looked around, she loved it here. So much going on, so many people walking she could just get lost in the hustle and bustle of this place. And that’s defiantly something that she liked about it.

She started her day out walking into a store and looking around. But having not really found anything that she wanted she walked out and continued on her way. By the time she was done with all her ‘shopping’ it was nearing lunch time. So she decided that she wanted to stop and get a sandwich or something. There was this nice little café that she had seen down the street so she sopped in and grabbed something light. Since she was going to be here all day she might as well save a bit of money and really treat herself to something special for dinner. Her life had been one big mistake, in her opinion, and she moved to NYC to get away from her father. She hated him with a passion, So that’s how she found herself in one of the biggest cities in the united states.

Finishing up her lunch she once again made her way out into the sunny, but crisp day. It might be in the middle of April but it was still a bit chilly, Living in New York could defiantly be interesting, one day it would be in the mid 80’s and the next it would only be forty. She sighed, and went on her way. Having decided that she would visit another couple stores for the next few hours. That would pass the time and she had been meaning to get her a new outfit, might as well do that here. Finally looking up from a outfit she noticed that it was rather late into the afternoon and she should probably be getting something to eat soon.

Having decided that she was just going to grab a coffee then go home she made her way to the store. IT was interesting to see all the people here even if it was rather late. It seemed like New York never slept. Paying for the drink she made her way out when she stopped looking at the girl in front of her.. “Umm, hello.” she said, trying to see why the girl had stopped where she was.
