His heart raced. The kind of beat the heart usually does when one is in the middle of something mischievous and have high chances of being caught! Because this was the first time that he had caught her outside of his home. HIM and not her!

She was waiting in a bus stop with her head lower than usual. Her hair was black again and this time it was not bouncing around like it usually do.

This was a different her all over again, not the Ari he knew nor Ari, the explorer. He parked some distance away from where she was standing and watched him with her helmet on.

Who are you, Ari? He wondered as he watched silently. He just might have passed by her, had it not being his boredom and his attentiveness for all things Ari.

Today it was a different her again. It was just so unlike her although she wore very similar clothing and style, without her usual smiles and her lips staying sealed, without her dancing hair and without her twinkling eyes. It felt like someone altogether, like someone he has never seen or known.

Just what must have the summer princess gone through to be so down? Did her pet die or did her parents deny her some new customes? Or some guy problem?

He shook his head annoyingly. The people of these days just fall down all over with the slightest tab in their emotions. It annoyed him to the very core. If only they go through life like him, if even for a day then they would realise that their problems were not a problems at all
