Sometimes I\u2019m so inspired to write, I can\u2019t think of anything to write at all. You would think, wouldn\u2019t you, that sitting in some caf\u00e9\u2014Au Bon Pain<\/a>, specifically\u2014sipping (the now empty) iced coffee with one sugar and soy milk, accompanied by a powdered\u00a0chocolat croissant<\/em>would be enough.

I claim the back corners, always. I\u2019d mark it with my pheromones if it wasn\u2019t so animalistic and socially awkward.

The back corner, the one against the rain-speckled windows, is my space for the whatever hour or so I have remaining before the walk to my next class.<\/p>\n

I decide I like walking.<\/p>\n

I also like people-watching. From the back corner\u2014my back corner\u2014<\/em>of the caf\u00e9. Here is where my observations,\u00a0\u00e0 la<\/em>\u00a0Harriet the Spy<\/a>\u00a0(sans the gossip) go unnoticed. I\u2019m just another girl in a coffee shop, inconspicuous in the crowd of coffee and pastry lovers (except this one time when casting agents from\u00a0Abercrombie & Fitch<\/a>\u00a0approached me with a modeling offer, hellooo, ego boost!). I\u2019m but a girl in ABP writing, checking something on her Macbook incessantly, nibbling on fancy French carbs that look better than they taste (I\u2019m all about aesthetics, but looks can be\u2014and are\u2014deceiving). Little do they know I\u2019m glancing through my fringe, my mascara-laced lashes, up from sips of coffee, over the top of my laptop, watching. LIstening. Writing.\u00a0Repeat<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But then I see the people watching me back. Inquisitive boys, looking. Peeking, taking lances. A few years ago I would have been embarrassed to even meet eyes. Today, though, I hold the gaze, smiling coyly from the left side of my mouth. Most look away, flushed. Few approach my little corner. I\u2019ve been told I\u2019m intimidating by strangers and friends alike\u2014it\u2019s just the set up of notebooks, large coffees, and my open laptop that look like a barricade. Brownie points in the little black book for the brave soldiers who dare to approach.<\/p>\n

Yes, they can have my number.<\/p>\n
