⊰✙∬ Making her way through the crowded street, she looked out for a place to get something to drink. It was insane how many people where out on a sunday morning. Valentina had no practice or classes for once, she never did really, but she always had tons to study, be it either school work or dance. There finally she spotted a café sign across the street, causing her to smile. She had absolutely no idea where she should look for these sort of places, since they weren't places she came often. She dragged her small feet over the pavement, trying to avoid bumping into people as she did. --She didn't like being amongst strangers, she feared how they would react to her, how they would treat her. This was the reason why she kept to the same group of friends all the time, those were her ballet partners, whom she had known throughout most of her life, though they didn't understand her, she had someone to turn to in her darkest hours.
Entering the small café, she looked around for an empty seat, though it seemed that most tables where taken. She quickly spotted a single seat available, though, on the other side hang a coat. She laid her jacket on the empty chair, and walked to the desk to get her drink. She placed a hand on her stomach, it was silently begging her to eat, though, she wouldn't-- she couldn't do it. "Merci" She told the lady quietly, when she was handed a cup of coffee, there, she turned around and saw that a man had taken the seat opposite the one she had placed her jacket on. "Monsieur?" She said softly as she walked towards the table, her cheeks slightly red in embarrassment "I hope you don't mind that i've taken the seat here" She pointed at her jacket, gesturing so he would understand what she meant. She was acting like she was a lost girl,so very nervously.
