~Maria
I first saw her in the bathroom. Her elbows on the sink. Crying her eyes out. Confused, I asked her "What's wrong?"
No response.
"Why are you crying?"
Still no response. I'm clueless on what I should do. Should I just stand there or walk away? Dyl is waiting for me in the hallway.
I started checking my purse. Why? I don't know. It's what I usually do when I don't know what to do :/
I spotted my lollipop I took from Sah's car.
"You want a lollipop" I asked smiling like a creepo
"Its strawberry shortcake flavored?" My creepo smile grew wider.
She stopped sobbing & lifted her head up. I've never seen her before.
"You must be new here?" I asked grabbing her purse from the floor & handing it to her with the lollipop.
She grabbed it & stared at the lollipop a mid-second before taking it from my hand. I noticed she has the purse I want for Christmas.
"Thanks" she said with an unrecognized accent.
"No problem" I said.
"So it's your first day here?" I asked her again grabbing my phone out of my purse. A text from Dyl: "Babe, Where are you? We're going to be late >.<"
I replied: "You can leave for class without me, I'll see you there"
"Yeah, it's my first day here & thanks for the lolli" she said with a British accent.
"No problem. I'm Maria, nice to meet to" I said fixing my make up
"Nice meeting you too Maria, I'm Zay" she said also fixing her make-up
"My make-up's all messed up, are my eyes puffy?" she asked turning my way. I giggled a little. Her eye liner's all over her face. She chuckled a little.
"It's that bad?" checking herself out in the mirror
"Don't worry. I'll help you out" I grabbed my face wipes from my purse & removed all the black lined from her face. Including her make-up. She's actually REALLY pretty, even without make-up.
I sat her down & fixed her make-up for her.
"So where are you from?" I asked her really curious cause I know she's not from here with that accent.
"I'm from Berkshire. My dad, brother & I just moved here 2 weeks ago" she said.
"Where's that?"
"We lived in Ascot; it's in south east of England"
"Wow that's really cool; it must be nice over there, why'd you guys move?" I asked her still fixing her make-up.
"My dad decided he'd move his company here to Chicago so he could spend more time with me & my brother without memories." HShe said kind of looking sad while she said memories. I want to know the memories but I think it's personal so I'll let it go.
"Oh, so do you like Chicago so far?" I asked her almost done with her make-up
"Yeah, I love it here"
"Not trying to bother you or anything but why were you crying?"
"Bother me? I'm glad someone is talking to me-"she said as she got up to see my work of art on her face.
"Oh my Buddha. This is amazing- Thank you" she said examining her face the turning to me for a hug. I don't like the idea of strangers hugging me but whatevs.
Wait. Did she just say Oh my Buddha?
"You're welcome" I finally said.
She didn't answer my question:/
After letting go. We grabbed our purse & walked out of the bathroom.
