It seems that I am getting noticed

I was writing in my favorite Amherst cafe today, The Loose Goose Cafe, and three kids came up to me. Well I say they were kids, actually they were the same age as me, 17 (I graduated high school when I was fourteen).

One of the kids said the following, "Hey, don't we know you from school?"

I looked up from my laptop, I was meant to be working but instead I was playing Command and Conquer Red Alert 3. "I highly doubt that you know me, I graduated two years early." Was my answer.

"Really? Well then do you work here or something? Because we see you here every day on our way to school." Asked another one of them.

"I am working, but not at this cafe." I sensed that they weren't going to go easily. "I am a writer and I find it much more easier to work here where I don't have to make my own food."

The three of them laughed and then asked me about how did I become a writer and if I needed to have a college education to become one.

The truth is you don't need a college education to become one, but it helps you become a better writer. I will be attending college this year, but I am not so sure if every other person there will be happy to see somebody who is a year younger than them and is already more advanced.

It seems that this quiet little town of Amherst notices whenever somebody new rolls into town, like Murder, She Wrote.
