5 by 5 lines

Perfect teeth-

It glimmered so brightly that I had to cover my eyes. They were in straight, perfect lines, not even one was crooked. They were the pearliest white I had ever seen, and they made her smile so beautiful. Free from braces or any other twisted wire material, they made all the other girls jealous. As I stood there, grinning proudly at everyone else, I could hear everyone else thinking, ‘whoa, that girl has the most perfect teeth in the world’.

October heat-

This month’s heat is getting unbearable. People walked along the dirty, heated Mumbai road irritably, wiping their faces with napkins or fanning themselves with whatever they had. The waiters and chefs must have earned a lot of money this month, as people kept walking into restaurants just for the air conditioners. This October heat is killing me.

French fries-

I licked my lips ravenously. Fine, thin potato cuboids glimmered in oil as it fried on the wide pan. I could almost feel the unhealthiness melting in my mouth. I was jumping of my seat impatiently, hungrily waiting for that beautiful plate to land on my table, with the creamy tomato sauce. Waiting, waiting to take that first, delicious bite, for my teeth to sink into hot, golden, FRENCH FRIES!

Best Friends-

She held my hand and we walked together, laughing, down our imaginary road. When she cried, I cried, when she smiled, I smiled, when she screamed, I screamed, when she giggled, I giggled. I understood her, she understood me. We told each other our deepest, darkest secrets. It was like we could look into each other’s mind, because she always knew what I was thinking, I always knew what she was thinking. We did everything together, and we were unbreakable. After all, we were best friends.

Tomorrow-

Tomorrow. A new day. New things to do, new places to go, new people to meet. Today can be the most boring day ever, but tomorrow can be the most exciting. Tomorrow is the reason life moves on, today, we can be stuck in the same moment, but tomorrow, we can proceed. Sure, its just another day, but what if there was no tomorrow? Tomorrow can be Friday, tomorrow can be your birthday, tomorrow can be your arangetram, and tomorrow can be your wedding day. Tomorrow can be the most important day of your life, because tomorrow, you take one step further.
