After waking up early, showering, shaving, hitting each armpit with a band of Clinical anti-perspirant, wearing a tie and that bright orange track jacket kept in the back of the closet, and donning a matching hat, the time for greeting comes. Praying and centering thoughts keep the mind focused on this "great" conquest: "Discovering" America, setting foot on the Moon, and talking to Movie Star Glasses Girl go down in history as some of humanity's greatest accomplishments. There is one problem: She cannot be found, and there is another girl sitting in her spot on the bus!
Wait a minute, Movie Star Glasses Girl isn't Movie Star Glasses Girl all the time; it's cloudy today, and those Movie Star Glasses she always wears detach from her face. Now she looks completely different, and eye-catching...more so o_O
As staring isn't attractive and may land the "viewer" in jail, try noticing other things about what she is passionate about, things that set Movie Star Glasses Girl apart, and make her unique. For one, the music from her headphones is really loud, which ironically defeats the purpose of headphones. That does not mean calling her out on it is the right thing! Nevertheless, the beat seems catchy enough, so silent drumming is acceptable, yet only for a couple stanzas. Also, keep an eye on the book she is reading with that surprising look of intensity, which can be found in the eyes of Mike Singletary and my older sister during her U.S. collegiate basketball days. The title or subject matter, within reason, can spark a conversation with her down the road. As stated earlier, staring is creepy. If offering respect is important, then remember to show some respect to Movie Star Glasses Girl, so neither of you crash and burn over an awkward and embarrassing incident.
While she may look like a Movie Star, behind those movie star glasses is a person with faults and shortcomings like everyone else; all the same, Movie Star Glasses Girl should be treated with the same level of respect. Unlike everyone else, however, if she becomes that sole Movie Star in life, then treating her like one goes a long way, too.
