the adventitious resurfacing of such old memories...

WARNING: THIS POST IS SOPPY AND EMO. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.


Seven years ago, I think it was. About there, anyway.

A short girl in a primary school uniform, standing outside a classroom. Slower even than usual in moving into the next class. Not exactly daydreaming, just being too
bored to bother being in a hurry.

By the time she sauntered into class, her usual seat at the side had been taken.
Damn. There weren't any more empty tables; she'd have to join someone's. But she didn't like joining other people...

Oh, damnit. The only choice she had was between this occupied table and that one, and that one over there. What a bummer. Resigned, she trudged up to the table at the very back of class.

Something happened then. I'm not sure what, but
something, anyway.
I often wonder what would've happened if that girl had chosen another table to join.
Life would've been so different, wouldn't it?
Strange how such small, seemingly inconsequential decisions can affect life like that.

I find it amazing how the bulk of my little 'coterie' was made quite by accident. Hat. Hat. Hat. X)
