Yet again, I have been fooled. All my friends, the good-seeming ones, anyway, have betrayed me. I tell them secrets, and then they run off, taking my secrets and using them against me. There were a few people I loved, too. No more. I can never risk it again. Ever. It's about 10pm, and I see a star. It makes me have a warm, happy glow inside. Maybe tomorrow I can see. I'll go into town, maybe do some shopping. Perhaps I'll have a coffee at Charlie's Tea Shop. Meeting someone? A small chance. But I'm still optimistic. I go to sleep happy. I wake up, dress, eat breakfast. It all goes by in a blur. But I still head out. Buy some black boots. I really like them. They'll be useful, too. I go out walking a lot. A fuzzy hat. Black. Also useful. Coffee at Charlie's Tea Shop. Nobody talks to me, except the waitress when I order. I decide to read a book. Then someone hits into the table. My coffee spills, all over the book. The person's coffee spills too. The book is ruined. I'm about to get crazy mad with the guy, when I realize it's a GUY. Hmm... I decide not to do it. He's going crazy apologising. He's bright red. I smile, and say, "Accidents happen. It's fine." He seems sort of shocked. Then he says "I'm Joe. Who are you?" "Lana." I reply. "So, Lana, how about we meet here for a coffee tomorrow?" he asks, blushing. I smile. "Sure". Maybe this had something to do with the star last night?
