บท 35: The joy of an ordinary day…

Kevin pulled out a coin from his pocket and tossed it over to her and said – "a penny for your thoughts." 

  Myra sighed, "I was just reflecting on my life. You are so different from the people around me." 

"Different? I hope in a good way." He said

She nodded, "I had never thought I'll make friends so soon. Thanks for taking care of me."

"Pleasure is all mine." He bowed. 

"Don't" she chastised, "I don't want to attract attention." 

"See, that's what makes you different from others." Kevin blurted, "You underplay yourself instead of throwing your weight around and exhibiting your power. You know every year LSE receives international students, amongst them some are from high-profile families. I have seen snobs and arrogant people. I have seen people brandishing their family name and I have seen some reclusive people who are allergic to us commoners." 

Myra shook her head and smiled.
