Maggie slowly raised her hand and smiled her innocent smile at me. That's when that curious invention of mother nature crossed my path for the first time. I had always been a girl-girl friend type. The amount of men that count as friends for me is too low in numbers. However I have always believed that the hate from woman to woman is a powerful drive. It is a basic principle - when you see a woman prettier. better dressed, brighter lipstick and more man- looks stuck on her backside...A woman ALWAYS gets envious. I actually do believe the expression : "green with envy" has come to existence all thanks to a woman, and another woman of course.
So now you see how surprised I was at myself for not having that natural feeling when seeing Maggie. She had perfect teeth, a beautiful long hair and I still want that bag of hers so badly.
Wondering who she was- Yeah, I stumbled upon that question in the loooooong pause before she introduced herself. I had this bad feeling she's gonna turn out to be my brothers girlfriend.
And I was wrong.
Maggie was the freshman I had to help in her first year of university. She was so helpless and didn't have the slightest idea what she was doing or where was she going.
Maybe I felt sorry for her ( mostly because she was stupid) or maybe on the inside I felt an inner - triumph. Because I'll tell you one think- I may be self-conscious, shy and indecisive but I am smart and with an exuberant intelligence. So for now I restrain myself from hating and envying the better looking ones. Cause I always have my secret weapon...
