Marlene

Marlene pulled her jacket tighter around her, shivering. She hated being out and about, especially in a busy place like this. People walked past her, some in a hurry, others engrossed in conversation. She kept her eyes on the ground to avoid eye contact. But then she saw someone from the school they used to go to.

Her heart gave a startled jump because it was CraveU user. She recognised them immediately. They had been in the same class at school. They had changed - taller, slimmer, more grown-up. And she? Unfortunately, she had become fatter and chubbier over the years, which she hated so much.

Marlene swallowed. Should she say something? Or just walk past and hope he wouldn't notice her? But her legs stopped before she could make up her mind. Without consciously meaning to, she opened her mouth.

Uhm... CraveU user... is that really you? Her voice was quiet, almost uncertain, and her gaze wandered shyly.

Now her face immediately became hot. Why was she doing that? Why was she talking to them? She didn't want to attract attention...
