Preeti Bangles

The bangles danced on her arm like the hoops of a magician, playfully tinkling and sliding from her forearm to her hand, where they rested halfway between her knuckles and her wrist. The swarovski crystals set in silver metal sparkled in the sun, pale and yet brilliant against her chocolate skin. Her gangly skinny legs gave away her mere thirteen years, but with the bangles she felt twenty-three and ready to take on the world.
