Draft: Human Observation

Submitted by aspark on Sun, 02/24/2019 - 15:07

My friend is sitting across from me and is on her phone. Her thumbs move rapidly, jabbing the brightly lit screen. She has three sliver rings on her left hand on her thumb, index, and middle fingers. She has two rings on her right hand on her middle and ring fingers, one of which has a green stone in the center of it. She raises one hand to her face, resting it on her chin as her right hand continues to support her phone. Her right thumb slides upward on the screen repeatedly. After a while, she places her phone down and flips up the screen of her laptop, which has a marble cover on it. Her forearms rest on the wooden table as her fingers dart across the laptop keyboard. She is wearing a long-sleeve gray zip-up hoodie with a heathered gray tank top underneath. The majority of her long, wavy dark brown hair falls to the right side of her face, which is angled downward to face her laptop screen. Her eyes are pointed downward at the screen, and her eyelids are exposed. She has brown eyeshadow on her lids. Her mouth is agape slightly, her lips close to a centimeter apart. She looks up as someone walks through the front door of the cafe. Her eyebrows angle slightly upward, and her mouth changes to a grin as she waves at her friend who just entered. Within seconds, her eyes fall back to her laptop screen. Now both of her hands are placed on her lap, and she raises her right hand to her mouth. She bites the nail of her right index finger while she stares at the screen. She rests her right elbow on the table, her forearm overlapping her phone, which is face-up on the table surface. Her phone screen lights up suddenly, and she quickly picks up the phone with her right hand. She stares at the screen for a second and places the phone back down, moving her hand back on the laptop keyboard. She hits the space bar and lifts both her hands to her head. She combs her fingers through her hair as she straightens out her back and takes a deep breath.
