Red Mango Monologue

The dry snow crunched under my heavy footsteps as more of the crystal flurried down forming a blanket of powder. I felt the arctic air whistle past when my friend began complaining of his waning energy supply. It was a long day because of all the shopping that had to be done for the holidays. We just returned from an exhausting trip to the mall and decided to stop by Red Mango for some nourishment. We were starving. In that split second, I made a decision I would end up remembering for the rest of my life. Red Mango was the first time when I saw Deepika; the girl I fell in love with at first sight. I came to order a plentiful serving of luscious and sweet Madagascar Vanilla frozen yogurt covered in coconut sprinkles. The first thing I saw

She was a short in stature and had dreamy eyes; they were shining like diamonds in the sky. Her hair, black as the night, glistened under the incandescent bulbs of the cafe.
