Murielle was half-way done with her cake when she heard some girls murmuring among themselves from the next table. Apparently, someone famous had walked into the room and Murielle didn't even notice. Her book was too engrossing! Romance, action and fantasy.. She knows she reads rather cliche stories, but they can be so intriguing.
She snapped back to reality when a woman accidentally bumped into her table. After a half-hearted apology, the woman bustled past her towards one of the booths of the cafe. A brightly pink-haired male was enjoying his meal, but Murielle wondered if he was aware of the hoard of young girls crowding around him. They weren't trying to be obvious - moving their tea and coffee to another table, behind his booth, or just 'innocently' pass by him.. This man seems to have quite the reputation.
Too bad Murielle was totally unaware of it. She wasn't the sort to be aware of local or global celebrities. Not seeing the hype after all, Murielle returned to her book.
Fifteen minutes passed until Murielle realized her cake was gone. She must have gobbled the rest of it without knowing. She drank the last drops of her tea, tucked her book under an arm and got ready to leave. Just as she was about halfway towards the exit, two girls were hurrying to enter the cafe.
"Move over!"
A girl shoved past Murielle. Normally a person would find the nearest thing to cling to, but our little Murielle had her head up in the clouds again.
"Eep!" There was a thud as the blonde lost her balance. Murielle found herself dazed and sprawled all over the carpet floor, her eyes darting around for the person who knocked her over. Someone owed an apology.
