99 Tuxedo
Selma Payne’s POV:
Thank god my grounding was lifted on the day of the ceremony.
Although it wasn’t a full week, my father said he would pardon today. As for whether I would make up for the remaining day, it depended on my performance.
I was so excited that I didn’t sleep much the entire night. I got up at three in the morning and dressed up with Dorothy, who had also not slept the entire night.
Maybe it was because of the fight in the cafeteria, but the students didn’t dare to co near us, so no one invited us to the ceremony.
And we didn’t want to bring a trembling quail for the opening dance, so we did it internally andthe whole nightcide who our dance partners would be, Dorothy and I, Mara and Avril.
“I’m about to fall in love with the Queen,” Dorothy said, leaning toward the mirror. “Her dressing room is the paradise that every girl in the world dream of.”
“Hey! Be careful that the guards will capture you for coveting the great Queen.” I squeezed in front of the mirror with her and said with a smile, “However, your outfit is really amazing. I feel you will swim in love letters for the next three years.”
Dorothy wore a white strapless fishtail dress with a gorgeous smoky-gray fur coat. Her hair was combed into a classic bun with a mini diamond crown in the shape of a shooting star. She looked like the incarnation of the goddess of fate in the human world.
“If I were a gentleman, I would definitely do everything I can to beg you to be my dance partner for tonight.” I pretended to bend down and reach out my hand. “Please take pity on , beautiful lady.”
Dorothy laughed and pushed .
“It’s my first ti wearing this,” she said, suddenly flinching. “It’s my first ti attending a dance. Isn’t it a little too flashy?”
“You don’t have to worry at all,” I consoled her. “Do you think we’re all dressed up? Don’t say that I look down on myself. It’s just that we’re not the stars of tonight’s event. Those who have graduated, no matter which departnt they are from, will be dressed in a way you can’t imagine. To them, we’re at most a stalk of green bristlegrass in a flower basket.”
“Although I’m not nervous anymore,” Dorothy said. “Your comfort is really... down-to-earth.”
The stylist ca to give us the finishing touches and covered with long overalls to prevent the makeup from dirtying my embroidered dress.
“I must say, although it’s my first ti seeing real black opals, they are indeed worthy of you.” Dorothy kept complinting my jewelry. “Especially this pendant, Moon Goddess. I can see the magnificent universe in it.”
“Thank you.” I smiled sweetly.
This was the graduation ceremony. Although I wasn’t graduating, it was a pity I couldn’t dance with my lover and make him feel a little more involved!
I especially wore a deep v-cut dress to match the pendant Aldrich gave and found a set of less conspicuous black opal earrings to complent the pendant’s beauty.
Aldrich found it a little funny when he found out about it. He gently laughed at for being a little girl who liked to show off her candy.
I didn’t want to listen to what he had to say. Was it wrong to want a boyfriend by my side?
I only wanted to show off? Humph!
Mara took our invitation and smiled. “Ladies, the chauffeur is ready. Shall we leave now?”
It was only six o’clock, and the ball would only start at five in the afternoon.
However, the Sivir Academy had a tradition of holding a grand ‘servant ceremony’ on the day of the graduation ceremony to commorate the legendary servants who served the Moon Goddess.
Otherwise, why would the clubs compete so fiercely for the venue? Everyone wanted to find a place with good energy to prepare for recruitnt and sponsorship next year.
Dorothy and I took two different cars. She had to pretend to take a taxi from the suburbs, so she arrived much later than .
Avril and Mara were already waiting for at the gate when I arrived at the school. Today, they were wearing light pink gowns of the sa color. The difference was: Mara’s long dress trailed the ground and was full of light and color, while Avril wore a rather handso woman’s tuxedo.
“To be honest, I’ll trip and fall into a dog’s shit if I danced in that gorgeous dress,” she said indifferently. “Why should I let myself suffer because of other people’s opinions? I’m going to wear a tuxedo. This is the latest design from the fashion street. I used up half a year’s worth of my pocket money for it.”
Mara pretended to roll her eyes. “I’m very happy you can be yourself again, but I won’t let you freeload on my snacks next sester, ever.”
“That’s not up to you, my dear,” said Avril proudly. “I know you can’t bear to. ”
When Dorothy arrived, everyone showered her with another round of complints. When it was ti, we went into the school hand in hand.
With the support of the rich and overbearing royal family, the academy had very bluntly set up a gorgeous colored canopy for the venue of each club. This effectively blocked the early sumr breeze and dust so that the ladies and gentlen’s hair and dresses were not dirty.
