She looked like an artistic model and was in her own way a born artist, right from when she was age two, Hakuri became so familiar with colors through painting, at first we thought she was going to be a famous painter, she painted all sort of things, from her toys to the natural world around her, but as Hakuri grew older, she took deep interest in drawing, and Hakuri's drawings were like reality.

I checked my phone, 3:05pm, really? I thought I had slept more than that? Now what will I do today, I want today to be special and not particularly filled assignments and reading. Just then my phone beeped! Yea, I have not been online this morning. It was a WhatsApp message from Candycrush, who is Candycrush by the way? Candycrush? Oh yea, I remember her, my course mate I just met yesterday. Hanging out? I really don�t know her that much to hang out with her, but I do know she is one of the big hits in the class, classy and brilliant, so whatever hanging out she might want to do will be ok, and in a way I feel honored that she invited me.
