This is Dana Hunt, she has a hyphenated last name, which she never uses as she thinks is weird and not cool at all. We met in July 2019 at the Art-Fair. Dana is depressed and unhappy thinking that most of the things in her life are weird. She has loving parents and gets along well with her younger sister Nadine. Dana does reasonably well in school, is a talented tennis player and likes to hang out with her friends. She does not need to sell ice cream on weekends in a silly uniform for ten bucks an hour but she applied for the job on a dare and got it. Now she is bored and annoyed by all these people who come and stand in line to buy it. Her supervisor, Helen, stopped by and, when she saw her face, asked if there is something wrong, then told her to smile and be friendly to clients. Dana said: "Sure, cool, no problem!" For a while she thought to write a short story about her ice cream sales experience then she thought that nobody will read it and it's not worth the effort. Then she imagined that she'll be an actress with a part as a sales girl and this is her method acting preparation for the role. So, when the next client asked for a Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Almond Bar, she responded aggressively: "Are you talking to ME? Are YOU talking to me?" The guy started to laugh and said "Yeah, I'm talking to you, who do you think?" Dana gave him the ice cream for free. The guy thanked her, said his name is Todd and asked her when she got off and if she wanted to go for a drink. Dana thought to herself that this is another weird thing happening in her life and replied "Seven thirty, sure, but I have to change".
