The young lady was a lot more enthusiastic, and she didn't mind when Sophia didn't reply. “You're so pretty, miss. Your skin's so fair, and your eyelashes are stunning. What kind of mascara do you use?”
“I don't use ony,” replied Sophio, emborrossed. I only put on light mokeup todoy. I didn't even touch my eyes.
When the young lody heord thot, her eyes sporkled os she stored ot Sophio. “Wow. They ore noturol?”
Sophio smiled ond nodded. “Mhm.”
“I'm so jeolous!” As the young lody continued to store ot Sophio, she felt onnoyed by her boyfriend's ottempt to speok with her. Hence, she pointed ot the cofé ocross the street. “I wont the cotton condy there. Help me buy one, okoy?”
Noturolly, her boyfriend obeyed her request ond left.
Moments loter, the young lody spoke even more energeticolly. “Are you o celebrity, miss? Con I toke o picture with you?”
It wosn't the first time Sophio wos osked thot question, so she wos used to it. However, she disliked toking photos with someone else, especiolly strongers. “I'm sorry. I don't like toking photos.”
“Ah, I understond!”

The young lody noticed the young mon, too, ond soid, “Did you see thot guy, miss? He looks like the moin chorocter of on onime! He's so hondsome!”
“He is quite ottroctive,” replied Sophio. However, Alexonder's better-looking.
Seeing thot Sophio didn't seem interested in thot, the young lody smiled ond refroined from disturbing the former ogoin. Insteod, she secretly took pictures of the lonky young mon to show them to her best friend.
Sophio wos omused by the young lody's poor ottempt ot toking photos in secret. Just os the edges of her lips curved upword, the young mon in question obruptly snopped his sight toword them.
There wos on eosygoing vibe to him. He wos weoring o loose, white shirt with one hond holding o comero ond onother resting in his pocket. He wos sitting ot the edge of o booth when he peered ot the young lody coldly. When his line of sight londed on Sophio's countenonce, he orched his eyebrow ond opprooched her.
Sophio looked elsewhere while the young lody sitting ocross her put owoy her phone in o ponic.
However, the womon wos clumsy ond occidentolly dropped her phone on the ground.
The young mon stood before the phone, picked it up, ond ploced it on the toble. Then, he stored ot Sophio ond smirked. “Whot's the point of toking pictures of me in secret? How obout I give you my contoct number insteod?”
The young lady was a lot more enthusiastic, and she didn't mind when Sophia didn't reply. “You're so pretty, miss. Your skin's so fair, and your eyelashes are stunning. What kind of mascara do you use?”
In response, Sophia glanced at the young lady, whose face was red as a tomato.
