The girl in yellow slippers



She is a nice girl.
She loves to play guitar.
She is pretty.
She climbs two steps at a time.
She walks straight into the puddles of water and not around them.
She stops to give alms to the old man on the sidewalk.
She loves rain.
Her mother cooks cereal for her every morning.
She puts on her jeans and goes to college every day. She loves it.
She has crush on a guy in her class who steals a glance at her when she is not noticing.
She hates make up.
She hates long nails.
She likes to dress casual.
She loves her younger sister.
She cries a bucketful everytime she watches 'Titanic'.
Her favourite romantic movie is "When Harry met Sally".
She can listen to Whitney Houston and Adele all night long.
She's crazy about Michael Jackson and cried her eyes out the day he died.
She likes to write in her diary and keeps it locked.
She comes back from college at 7 in the evening.
She puts on heavy makeup.
She puts on long artificial nails.
She puts on a revealing dress.
She goes to a place where she is welcomed and noone looks at her peculiarly.
There is a different man waiting for her this time.
He is the English professor from her college.
She won't be able to go to college from tomorrow.
She will never be able to see the guy she had crush on.
She is the girl in yellow slippers.

this girl leads a dual life of a college girl and a prostitute. In the last lines both her lives intersect and she has to leave one. And you didn't tell your name??

what's in the name :)) Mr. Benjamin reiterated dose lines one day.

Oh okiee, i did have a faint idea, where the girl was heading to, but then you just abruptly ended the passage. I am not much of a literature person, nor do i read a lot of novels, but seems lately i have been following a couple of blogs. i have a blog too,but i never updated it after April 2010 and all it has my memories on it . good luck ma'am.

Nice process to make emotional.It happened to many but we only understand when it comes in gradual process into our mind, and I think you have got that realization.
