"How are you today?"


"Not too bad," I answered to the woman sitting across me. She frowned, her dark brown eyes squinting at me.  


"Oh...are you sure about that? Your eyes are a bit puffed..."


"So are yours."


"I studied until late last night..."


"What are the odds? So did I..."



Silence fell between us and we avoided meeting our eyes. Deep inside, I  knew the truth.


So did she. 


Minutes stretched into hours and we still remained in our stoic positions. She wrote on a worn out notepad. I did the same. We kept  on writing until our hands ached and our pencils fell out of them.


It was until then that I felt brave enough to face her. It  must have been a mutual feeling, for she also looked at me in the eye. 


"You aren't honest..."


"Look who's talking." I scoffed, rolling my eyes. 


She pursed her lips. "You're giving me that aloof attitude of yours? Honey, you know it's a matter of time until you run out of defenses"


"So?" I looked at my notepad "I can't see how that affects you."


"You know it affects me"


"I could care less"


"There's still time for-"


"For what? Time for what? Oh please, tell me, I'm dying to know. There's still time to for me to be saved? Time  to amend mistakes?" I turned my back at her. 


Silence again. Joined by teardrops. 



"There's still time to fix yourself..."


I couldn't face her again. I stood up and walked away, knowing that behind the glass pane that divided our worlds, she had also done the same. 
 
This is for :iconfighttowrite: theme of the week "Yourself"

EDIT:

Oh, and this? I don't know about you...but most of the time I make up dialogues with myself :P Well, since I'm a very quiet person, most of the time I'm talking with myself on my mind. So this is pretty much a dialogue between me....and my conscience? I'mnot so sure.....it does reflect how easily i can change my feelings (more like pretend to change them) And yes, I'm very much an aloof person accompanied by ocasional bitching outbursts.

Pretty good dialogues ^^

So they were making their notepads burn, eh?
