the night had just started and she didn’t bother bringing a date knowing her friends probably weren’t bringing ones either. valerie walked into the ball wearing the exact red silk dress that she had told minji about. she felt like she stood out a little when she saw how many girls were wearing longer skirts, she absolutely hated standing out. her dress was not nearly as elegant compared to the others that looked as flashy as a grand chandelier. she gracefully made her way over to the punch bowl despite the heels she was sporting. she knew very well it had liquor in it, and still, she poured a generous amount into a cup. valerie remained by the table and took a delicate sip of the punch, red lips puckering when the burning feeling of the alcohol settled in her throat. ❝ damn, that’s really strong. ❞ she exclaimed.
