Well here is the revised version. I hope you like it better than the other
one, and I'm sorry it took so long to write. Thanks to everyone who
reviewed.

The silver brush slid gingerly through her golden-white wisps of hair. She hummed to herself as she continued to glide the brush down and up.
The song she hummed was unknown to any left on the earth; it was a song a mere mortal wrote for her, back when she was loved of all men.
She stopped humming and placed the brush back in its spot on her vanity; she then picked up a scarlet ribbon and gently tied it into her lovely locks. Mina looked at herself in the mirror.
'Goddess of Love and Beauty....nothing could be farther from the truth. If I'm so beautiful and full of love, why is it I can't even get a date? All any girl wants is love...that's such a joke! I'm a joke.... if only he could see me.'
Tears creped slowly from the corners of her vibrant blue eyes. Such sadness in those blue eyes, a sadness everyone could see. She buried her face in her hands and began to sob.

Mina walked steadily towards her destination, the Crown Arcade. She checked her watch, 3:00pm.
'Wow,' She thought, 'I wish I hadn't spent so much time crying......' She stopped walking and pulled a small compact from her pocket. The tears that had stained her cheeks for almost an hour were gone and the redness around the color of her eye had vanished completely. She replaced the mirror and continued to walk.
Several minutes later, she finally reached the double sliding glass doors of the arcade. She walked in and sat down at one of the stools at the bar. She glanced about and found Ami, Lita, and Raye at their usual booth in the back.
'That's typical.'
Her eyes then traveled to the booth in front of the three girls. There, practically sitting on each other's laps, were Serena and Darien. It was quite vomiting how they chose to express there love for one another in a public place.... By looking at the expression on Raye's face, they were no doubt the main topic at the girls' booth. Her mind then wondered back to Serena and Darien.
"Cupid sure favors them." She muttered, rolling her eyes.
"That's for sure." Someone replied.
Mina turned and faced Andrew, who was standing on the opposite side of the bar. He grinned at her.
"Andrew, hey, you scared me."
"Bad day?"
"I suppose one could call it that." She smiled and looked longingly into his eyes. She loved eyes. Someone had once told her that the eye was the key to one's soul.
"Yeah, I know what you mean, this hasn't been the best day of my life either."
"Did you what to-"
"Rieka and I broke up- or rather she broke up with me."
"She dumped you? What a bitch. Did she at least give you a good reason why?"
"She left for Africa today, she won't be back for over a year."
"Oh." 'Insert foot into mouth now.' "I- I'm really sorry." 'You are so not!'
"Well its for the best," Andrew sighed, " and I suppose there are plenty of other fish in the sea." He looked into Mina's eyes this time. He hadn't looked into them for so long that he had for gotten how clearly he could see his reflection in them.
"So why has your day gone to hell, Mina?"
"Haven't you noticed, I'm completely in love with you?"
