Mean
by Lem Cacho
I was in a bar waiting for a friend when two ugly women sat next beside me. When our eyes met, they gave me a smile. I smiled back out of courtesy. I wasn't in the mood to have a conversation not because they're unattractive, but my friend was horribly late. One of the women tried to start a conversation. I wanted to be left alone with my beer so I asked, "are you sisters?" Was I mean?
