Open One Last Go

[Leia Hume]

Leia had been looking forward to the yuleball, she knew it would be the second to last ball she would attend, and there was a bittersweetness to it because of that, but she was very much looking forward to the fun it would be. Leia had been working so hard, and jointly with the fact she was head girl, she knew she would deserve the night of fun. She had decided to come to the ball alone, though partly this was because no one had asked her to the ball, but she'd attended many of these alone and felt no shame over going alone. It was more fun with friends, that was undeniable, but she could handle being alone. The head girl had picked a very formal outfit, trying to be as smart as possible in her clothes, trying her best to be and seem older, like a grown up which she of course was but she wanted to seem even older than her 17 years. The Head girl walked into the great hall, smoothing down her skirt and venturing towards the drinks table.​

Kia was prepared this time. She'd gone and bought fabric just to make this dress. She knew Leia well enough now, or at least she liked to think she knew Leia well enough now, that she had a good idea of what her roommate would want to wear for their final Yule Ball. What she'd forgotten, however, was to ask Leia to the dance. Kia was standing by the snacks table, looking out over the crowd with her arms folded and a pout on her lips, when she spotted a familiar face approaching. Kia smiled. "Well, we're matching," She teased her friend lightly.

Leia had thought about asking if Kia wanted to go with her to the dance, but she had decided against it, seeing no issue in looking for her at the event itself, and as it turned out Kia had actually come to the dance. The teen smiled at her, taking in the girl's dress, which was a very nice dress, "You look very nice Kia," she complimented the girl warmly, meaning what she said. It was a pretty and vibrant dress. She was beautiful, and Leia felt a little jealous. She began brushing at the skirt of her dress feeling a little silly about what she'd worn. "Happy Yule," ​

Kia smiled easily at her friend. "You look beautiful yourself," She countered with a smile. "I love that dress. You look very mature." Kia held out her hand. "What do you say to a dance? We can show off just how gorgeous and grown up you and I are," She smiled, giving Leia a playful wink.

 

[Leia Hume]

Leia blushed lightly at the compliment, she knew that Kia was just being nice, there was no way that she actually meant it, certainly not when she looked like that. "Yeah, okay," she agreed, it would be nice to distract herself from feeling bad about it and to just dance a little bit with her only friend.

Kia smiled and offered out her hand before heading to the dance floor. "Leia, we're going to dance because we look gorgeous and we deserve it. You look beyond stunning," Kia winked playfully, starting to sway with the music.
