Patterns on her skin

people shifted their gazes towards her

"What is that mommy?" A child tugged at her mother's shirt.

"Hmm... you should go try this on." Her mother handed her a dress, shoving her towards the changing room. She was too engulfed in picking the best clothes for the new year.

She walked on

not bothered by any of the eyes looking at the marks on her legs

"Don't be like her." An elderly warned her grandchildren.

Thou... they were too busy admiring the girl.

She walked into the book shop.

All eyes were on her for a moment.

But they soon went back to their own things.

Sorting out the stationaries
Reading the new novel
Flipping through comics
Stacking up old books
Browsing through cook books

"Hi, may I know where is the crafting section?" She asked one of the staff, a teenage girl with long curly hair and spectacles.

"Umm... I'm not sure... I think it's around that side... I'm new here..." The teenager stuttered and pointed towards the far end of the shop.

She looked at the name tag.

Pan
Trainee

"Thank you, Pan." She said and went towards the pointed direction.



"Wait for me" She whispered to herself.

A portrait of a mermaid hung on the wall opposite of her.

She started to work on her crafting skills after getting the books and tools she needed.

She has to practice hard in order to make her dream come true.
