      Wandering

      In one a May day of 2013, Stella celebrates its successful completion of the second semester. Having received good grades and coping with the difficult exams, pleased with herself, prepares to celebrate with her colleagues. The evening will be interesting. The gathering is in a restaurant in the center where the kitchen is unique and the dishes are very delicious. The kinds are many grill, fish dishes, seafood, spaghetti, pizzas, savory dishes, beef, pork, chicken dishes. For a connoisseur of good food like her this place is great. Despite the affinity and the delicious it doesn‘t exceed the quantity. Most of her acquaintances are puzzled by her figure. Even doesn’t often sports her body is perfect. Her body is proportionally and look like a 18 years old although Stella is 23 years old now. Going to the restaurant she stands at the bus stop waiting for the bus. The weather is nice, warm and pleasant, but knowing that to the place will walks around 30 minutes she is not ready to do so with the high shoes who wears. Ashes pink sandals that show her bright red pedicure. She lights a cigarette and Liam, her former friend suddenly came to her:

      – Hello! – He watched her with admiration.

      – Hello! – She said in a low voice.

      – Since when did you smoke? – Liam asks.

      – I don’t think I should answer. – Stella

      – Why are you acting like that?

      – How do I behave? -Stella asks.

      – Let’s meet. Do you have a time tomorrow? -He asks her staring at the green dress that is stunning. The narrow dress, shaping her bust and waist, crawling around her hips, reaching a few centimeters above her knees makes her charm.

      – No! – Again she looks at the left and sees the bus. She goes to the trash bin at the stop and throws his cigarette then stops on the bus line.

      – Maybe another day to see. When are you free? – Again, Liam asks.

      – I don’t want to see you. I’m sorry I’m so rude, but my answer is no. -She answers and then gets on the bus. Liam looks at her with astonishment.

      This woman was not the girl with whom he had a relationship years ago. The behavior and the confidentness she was beaming were different. Apparently she had changed. Arriving at the restaurant she sees at the table one of her colleagues with who are not in a good relationship. Then decide to sit on the opposite side of the table. The problem between the two is that Nora is jealous of Stella. Because of the many male attention she
