Once again, Louisa May Clark had somehow ended up attending a dance she didn't really want to be at. Her roommates had been getting ready all evening and insisted on sending her pitiful stares. Louisa didn't want their pity, nor did she want rumours of her friendless state to spread around the school. It was one thing not being invisible, but it was infinitely worse to be visibly pathetic.As such, she'd donned the dress she'd worn to the yule ball, which had once belonged to her mother, Most girls probably had new dresses, but Louisa couldn't see the sense in buying a new dress for a night that meant next to nothing. Plus, she liked this dress, and her mother had put a lot of work into altering it for her. So, she had eventually put down the textbook she'd been reading lying on her four poster, and gotten ready for the dance. She was currently standing in almost the exact spot she'd resided in for the duration of the Yule Ball. She had a glass of punch in her left hand, and her right rested on the edge of the table. She had to admit, she did enjoy watching the dancing figures. Her parents had loved dancing, and her fathers moves had been consistently goofy.
To be honest, she was a tad bored. Sometimes whole days would go by and she wouldn't speak a word to someone. For a girl who'd always been social, the past year or so had made quite a change. Every now and then she idly wondered if perhaps she could re-brand herself completely once more. The thought of having people ask about her parents, and being forced to explain her Dad, however, was a powerful deterrent. Whenever people passed, she slid slightly further into the shadows, intermittently sipping her drink and watching the world go by. She'd probably leave soon. At least now, her roommates had seen her leave the dormitory, and wouldn't whisper behind closed doors about how sad she was. She'd saved face, that was all that mattered.
