I wiped the fog away and peered into the mirror. What I saw didn't surprise me at all, although it should have. Looking back at me were the girls from earlier. The whole conversation began playing itself back. I saw myself, I saw the pained look on my face. I observed how the other girls kept talking, and I continued to be unnoticed.
I closed my eyes and shook my head. When I opened them, I studied the girl staring back. I sighed in relief because the figure eyeing me was my reflection.
Ya, I realized, this is me.
I quickly grabbed the brush on the counter and my thoughts dissolved back into the corners of my mind.
