16. The Human World

Ariana opened her eyes exactly at 5 in the morning. She didn't waste single second and got out of her bed quickly to sit on the desk. After going through her physiology notes, she opened curtains to her dorm room. She noticed condensation on the window and used her index finger to draw an oval shape and lines on top of it. She stared at it for a while before going to take a shower.

She came out of the bathroom fully clothed and headed for the college cafeteria. As she was about to take a seat, the cafeteria lady called her. "Ariana!"

Ariana sighed and walked up to her.

The lady gave her a smile. "What would you like to eat?"

"The usual." she replied.

The lady grabbed a plate and started filling it with many things then handed it over to her. She found a table in corner and sat there. The cafeteria had started to fill with students but nobody sat at her table as she was known to be a loner.
