In the middle of the cafeteria a large family group have pushed two tables together and are sitting, oldies at one end and teenagers at the other. At the youngsters end a young lady is holding court. To keep the attention of at least one of her companions she is gesturing flamboyantly, her fingers constantly on the move. She has curtains of long dark hair which she alternately flings behind her shoulder or grabs a hank to twist and interlace her fingers.
One of her companions, another dark haired girl with glasses appears mesmerised by the widening of the eyes that accompanies every comment. The blonde, being diverted by a small boy to her left, appears to have forfeited her right to attention as the talker turns slightly away from her to point out her Ugg boots to the other girl. Something is said and both girls laugh and simultaneously cover their mouths. As the party rise to leave, it is the blonde girl who stands out, in her pale coat and the grey fur bandeau she pulls over her hair. The two dark girls are mostly in black, black jeggings, dark shirts and black quilted jackets, the uniform of youth.
Note:
As I felt I'd already given quite a lot of detail about this girl in my first piece I found this exercise quite hard and feel I've done the opposite by providing less detail although i think it's a more readable piece.
