Allie looked over the window, it was a warm day road filled with traffic. The only thing to appreciate in this city today was the weather. Rest remained the same. Her eyes met a young man who was sheepishly gazing at her from one side of the restaurant. She muttered, “Idiot” while giving him a cold glance. He immediately turned his face towards the wall. She then sipped her coffee and left the room. When did her life become so boring? There was a time when she could not get a rest. Now, everything seems so slow. While approaching the elevator she heard a low voice, “excuse me”. She looked over to see the same guy who was gazing at her in the restaurant. Annoyed by his efforts, she barked,” What? Didn’t get a good look at me in the restaurant.” " I wasn’t trying to make you uncomfortable; I was trying to...” “Trying to?” she said in a low yet rough voice “Tried to initiate a conversation.“, he whispered. The elevator opened but she did not move. He did not look like he could tackle her. His soft black hair in an unruly way looked out of place with his remaining attire, yet somehow worked with his aesthetic. His dark eyes looked at her like they were guilty. Seeing him, so idiotic yet beautiful, she said, ” Let us have one now. Do you want to go back to the restaurant?” He smiled like a ten-year-old with his eyes gleaming. He nodded.

Today is the last day of my college. After five, our Summer vacations will start. Others are excited and have already made plans as to what they will do to enjoy the vacations. Sadly, it is not same for me. I was hoping that I could finish off my college and find a job in some new city. I am forced to live with my parents and honestly it is difficult. Well, it was always difficult but when I was young, I used to bow down and accept my fate. Now, I tired of acting to be happy when I am actually not. To be honest, I really don't know how I will spend my vacations. I think I will sign up for some classes or do a sole trip. Seems lot better than to spend my time listening to my mother's agony of me being not-conventionally-attractive like her friends' daughters or not-so-genius like my cousins. There isn't much that I can change or anyone with whom I can complain. I reach my house after six. It is fifteen minutes ride by bike but I usually wander around city hoping to get some sense of relief. Sadly, I did not get any notice of summer activity that I could sign up. I can sign up for online class but that will keep me more at home and I don't want that.
