A CONVERSATION AT A COFFEE SHOP.

EXAM WEEK.
About two weeks ago, I went to one of the computer rooms of Chiang Mai university near the main library.
I worked for a couple of hours, and then I went to grab a coffee in the Amazon coffee shop next door.
As I entered the coffee shop, three students caught my attention.
They were huddled together on a table: one girl and two boys. The girl was entirely covered by her hoody—you could only see her fondling a mobile phone. One boy was reading a book (his phone was right next to the textbook). And another boy who was on his phone and the textbook lay on the table.
After I got my cafe Latte, I walked up to them and talked to them a bit.
They were all preparing for an upcoming exam.
