Words of the wise:

"You can read all the books u want," he pointed at my notebook, "but it is life that teaches u the most."



I looked at him knowing he doesn't want me to reply, and nodded.



"As u get older, u will know exactly what every person u encounter expects from u," he went on, "you will learn that people are hardly ever what they lead you to believe they are,"



I gave him a sceptical look, just for the sake of it.



"You will find a way to read people, but I see that you already do that,"he summoned.



I smiled.



Little did he know, that the girl he thought was handled by kid gloves and sheltered from ugliness had learnt the hard way, that everyone has a hidden agenda. That acquaintances hardly ever make it to anything more than just that because of a highly structured filter, that " better safe than sorry" became a rule of thumb regardless of how boring it is.



So I just nodded, and continued to smile :)
