She saw a girl in her early teens dressed up in a pretty summer dress standing in front of a mirror. The girl was trying her best to look pretty and she constantly changed her posture to see which one of them suited her the most. But then when she showed her self to her friends they all seemed to have hysterics and they said to her that nothing would ever suit her. The girl suddenly halted on her tracks. She pretended as if it was normal to laugh at some one and laughed along with them, mocking her own self.
She then saw a girl in her mid teens smiling up at a boy of her own age. The girl's eyes were glittering with hope and apprehension and then the boy spoke and he asked her if she could arrange for him the number of her best friend. For an instance the smile faded from the girl's lips but then she forced a grin on her face and showed him the thumbs up.
Her trail of thoughts then stopped at another incident where she saw the same girl who was now in her late teens standing in front of a guy. The guy was repeatedly telling her sorry. The girl had a card clutched in her left hand and when she heard the guy say sorry the card fell from her hand but she laid a friendly punch on the guy's shoulder and said ' we will still be friends, right?' and with that they both laughed out.She sighed. Through all those years the girl had coated all her sorrows with laughter because she did not want to lose her friends. But now that they were all gone, the girl had no reason to hold back her tears.As she looked up and saw the stars appear one by one in the night sky, a tear rolled down her cheek.
