"Uncle Edwin, I'm ready!" Janet shouted while wearing her socks. She looked at herself in the mirror one final time to see if everything was perfect.
It was.
Uncle Edwin came with the car keys in his hands.
"Jane? All set?"
Uncle Edwin smiled as he opened the door.
"Yes, Uncle Edwin." She smiled back.
Uncle Edwin patted her head and went outside to take out the car. Just when she was about to get out, Maria called her.
"Jane! Your tiffin!"
"Maria, I won't be needing this. There, we will get our snacks and meal on time. And you know we should maintain a proper diet to keep ourselves healthy─"
"Okay! Okay! Jane, I know enough. You don't have to take a class now." Maria rolled her eyes.
Janet flushed, embarrassed.
"No no, I didn't mean it like that─"
"It's okay, you don't have to explain, buddy! It is healthy. Don't you worry!"
"Okay, fine!" This time it was Janet who rolled her eyes.
Maria giggled. "Oh, I totally forgot, your uncle had told me about the key ring he got for you, it's in his room... I totally forgot to give it to you. Give me a second."
Janet hurried, "No, it's okay. Let me get it myself."
Together they went into his room and saw the key ring lying on his table, Janet smiled, "Seems like it's his ring."
"Maybe. It looked used."
"Not that much, but yeah."
"JANET, YOU'RE DONE?" Shouted her uncle from the car.
"Shit, he's waiting for me. I've to go Maria. Bye! See you soon."
"See you soon dear." Maria smiled back, "Oh and..." She trailed off taking out her phone, "Keep my number so that I can talk to you whenever you're free."
"But it's not like I know about you much, what's there to talk about?"
"Anything."
The word sounded so regular on her tongue that Janet somewhere felt off, as if Maria was not the kind of person to do the dishes or clean the room. Anyway, without further thoughts Janet brushed her hair off her face ignoring all these weird feelings.
"JANET?" Her uncle shouted again. Janet could hear the starting of the engine this time.
"I should go now!" Janet hurried. But just as she was about to turn around and leave, her elbow collided with the shelf beside her, and the photo frame over it fell down, scattering the glass piece everywhere.
