a character

It is always a blessing to come across interesting characters in our everyday life. The varying personalities lend a flavour to my otherwise monotonous life.
There was this one girl during my school days who used to brag about how rich her family was. I come from a small town, a town where those days, one did not see tall structures. Not any higher than 5-storeyed buildings. One day, we decided to go for a small picnic and since her house was on the way to our destination it was decided that we should pick her up. We had never been to her house before so she was giving us directions, "Once you reach the petrol pump station, you will see a 7-storeyed building...the structure just cannot be missed by your eyes. That's my house!!". Now, that got us pretty excited since we had never seen that tall a structure.
The "day" arrived and as excited as we were for the picnic, we were eager to see that tall building. We got to the petrol station and looked around. Uhuh..no 7-storeyed in sight. We turned a full 360 degrees..yet, no sign of her house. Finally we gave in and decided to give a loud honk. Shortly afterwards, we could make out a figure coming out from a single-storeyed unfinished building. That was her, walking confidently as if nothing had happened. Rest of us, we looked at each other and all of us drove on. She never mentioned about her house again, but her big talks never ended and right to this day, I consider her one of my good friends...
