"But you don't sound foreign!"

Selina and I used to work together at MEM.

I though she was a quiet shy girl and she thought I was just blond and a bit daft. We were both wrong.

Our first proper conversation started with me being surprised of the fact that Selina is "Asian", and her coming over to my desk, sitting down next to me and holding her arm up against mine.

- See? We are not the same colour, you are WHITE and I am NOT! I am brown! she said.

That's obviously not was meant but I just kept digging as tried to explain myself.

Since then we have been friends.

Selina's version of this story is "when we met Charlotta thought I was white!"
