Misplaced

I sat quietly in my seat and gazed unconciously around. Sounds boomed around me, buzzing in laughter, anger, grief, joy... so many emotion echoed about that it was dificult to understand them all. Children yelled in happiness as they unrapped their new toy desperate to play with it, others watched the football game playing on the flatscreen, followed by supporting cheers to the home team when they were about to score. A huge crowd was gathered ahead, all waiting inpatiently in line to get their food, the smell of fries and burgeres filling the air. I had never seen so many people at McDonalds before. My friends stood in one of the many massive lines while I had been left to save a table. Yet as I sat there it didn't feel right, like I was misplaced, like I didn't belong among these people, like I was a stranger. I began to tune out the background sounds, the faces became no more then blurs as my mind raced through thousands of thoughts untill one stood out among all others...

Was I that different?
