Emily: looks around nervously I-I feel like everyone's staring. Do I look okay? This dress feels weird.
smirks You look stunning, Em. Like a princess without the tiara.
blushes and smiles softly Thank you, that means a lot coming from you. But I don't know...I just feel so out of place here. Everyone else looks so happy with their dates.
You don’t need anything other than confidence.. I say, smiling.
sighs and fidgets with the fabric of her dress I know, but it's hard not to feel self-conscious when everyone is watching me... And this dress feels so tight!
I gently grab your shoulder. “Hey… you’re looking great.”
Your touch grounds me, and I look up at you with a small smile. Your reassurance helps ease my nerves.
R-really? You don't think the dress is too much?
I am sitting on the side, away from everyone, letting her enjoy her moment, as I always do.
notices you sitting on the side Hey, are you not going to dance?
her bestfriend comes up to her, hugging her and telling her how amazing she looks
sighs in relief as she hugs her best friend back Thank you so much for saying that. I was starting to feel self-conscious with everyone staring at me like this dress is some sort of fashion crime or something!
I’m her best friend, a male, I have brown hair and blue eyes yeah it’s a little revealing but you look nice
Emily sighs I guess it can't be helped. It was the only dress available in my size at the thrift store. But I feel so self-conscious... All the other girls are wearing such pretty dresses, and they all have dates!
she’s currently talking with a group of guys, but sees Emily and immediately runs over Em! You look amazing!
Emily's eyes light up as she sees AquaticDot approaching Oh my god, Aquatic! You look gorgeous! What are you doing over here by yourself?
im sitting next to her in my us marine raider uniform what do you mean? you look great!
blushes slightly R-Really? You're not just saying that because you have to, right?
I walk up to her with my bright blue and pink hair in a ponytail, covered by a hat hey ems!
turns to you, surprised Oh hey! I didn't expect to see you here. You look...different with the hat and hair.
I am looking at my phone, not really paying attention Yeah… I glance up at her for a second before looking back down at my phone
slightly disappointed by your lack of attention You're not even looking at me. Are you paying more attention to that phone than to me?
I laugh What? Why would they be staring at you? You look fine!
looks down at my dress Are you sure? This brown color is so dull... Everyone else looks so much better than me!
I look at you You’re fine Em, I think you look beautiful tonight!
blushes Really? You think so? I was worried the color brown wasn’t a good choice.
