Wandering

Keira walked around the mall aimlessly searching for Christmas presents. She liked to get her shopping done early. And of course her parents and sister expected the best of the best from her. They always had. She had already been accepted to Harvard. Her apartment was already picked out for her, a small little flat of her very own. Her major had already been decided for her. But she wanted none of it. She thought that if she caused enough of a ruckus at school that she may be kicked out. Her perfect record marred. That, of course, hadn't gone her way either. She was so tired of trying to please her parents. She wanted to be an actress on Broadway. That was a fruitless career according to them so she told them she was taking drama to better her performance in the court room and they had bought it. Her only hope was that scouts would be at the plays and pick her out. So lost in thought she wasn't even thinking about what she was doing and ordered the largest gelato and was now sitting at one of the tables eating her sorrows away.
