As I entered the empty ladies' room, I realized there was no rush for me to return to the table where my fruends are seated. Taking advantage of the moment, I decided to touch up my makeup. Glancing at my reflection in the mirror, I saw my round face looking back at me. Throughout my life, people had always described me as "cute" because of my full cheeks, Barbie-like eyes, small nose, and pouty lips, all complementing my petite 5ft 4inches frame.Suddenly, someone enters the restroom. Glancing up at the mirror, I flash a friendly smile at the woman who caught my attention. Returning the gesture, she utters a simple "Hi" before disappearing into one of the vacant toilet stalls behind me.

As I walked in, I was immediately enveloped in enthusiastic hugs from the girls, their resemblance to me strikingly apparent.

It's time to go brush your teeth," Mrs. Peterson interjected, guiding them

Yet, her radiant expression reveals a joy that could rival a lottery victory."Give me all the juicy details, right this instant!" she commands with authority, gracefully seating herself in one of the chairs across from my desk. "Spill it!"I chuckle. "Calm down, Jane. It's not as dramatic as you think. Besides, I already shared everything with you.""No, you haven't.
