'Kindness really does go a long way', she thought to herself as she recalled a moment that proved to her that people do appreciate the little things.
As she waited to use the only ladies toilets in the academy, Adam walked, seemingly carefree, out of the guys toilets. They exchanged warm, yet longing smiles. And he asked, before leaving the building: 'you not coming?', a platonic invitation to join him; in which she replied jokingly: 'i'm not just standing here for no reason'. They both laughed and said their farewells.
She smiled, again, this time to herself and at the fact that someone who didn't have much significance to her, showed her compassion.
She realised that he was nice to her because, well, she was nice to him.
She remembered that she always said 'hi' to him even though he was shy and rarely ever said it first. She also recalled the time she liked a post on Facebook where he had exclaimed his happiness over getting great grades in his previous course. He appreciated that.
As she entered the toilet, she thought again: 'it's the little things that count'.
