Sophie and Jansie were classmates and friends. They were good friends. They also studied together in school. Both the girls belonged to very humble families. Both aspire to become something in life. They were earmarked for biscuit factory to work in it as soon as they finish school. Though, there were glaring differences as well in their personalities. Sophie was a romantic person, who seemed to have nothing much to do with the realistic world. Her ambitions and her ways to achieve them were unrealistic. Sophie dreamt of starting a boutique with the money she would earn as a manager. She visualized herself as the English fashion designer, Mary Quant, with the best shop in the city or of becoming an actress. In fact, she wanted to do something that she thought was 'sophisticated'. Jansie was more practical and did not want Sophie to talk of such unrealistic ventures. She knew that both of them were likely to end up working for the biscuit factory, Sophie was childish enough to live in a dream world where Danny, a football star, had met her and was likely to meet her yet again, the next weekend. Jansie disapproved of her telling such a story but Sophie convinced her of it being true.
