Not so observant

She walked into the room.

But no one noticed her.

It wasn't that she was ordinary. Her hair was a unique mixture of red, brown, and blonde. Her eyes looked like sunflowers in a green field. She walked with her back straight, but her eyes were occasionally cast down. She walked around the room, observing the people who did not observe her.

No one noticed her.

Did it matter to her that she seemed isolated in a room full of people? No. She wondered why she should have to change so that her personality would blend well with those around her. Why should she change when they did not have to?

And still no one noticed her.

But she did not care.

She did not need to people to notice her because she noticed herself.
