Curiosity was a terrible thing. It made people do things that they wouldn’t normally consider otherwise, such as attending a Valentine’s Ball instead of curling up in a comfortable chair with a good book and a cup of tea. Such was the nature of Reika’s problem.
It would be all too easy to blame her attendance at the dance on her grandparents and their desire to see her have an enjoyable university experience and get out more but there was more too it than that. Part of the fascination was the event itself, for she had never been to a social gathering quite like it before, but there was equal allure in setting foot on the Sunrise campus and seeing how it differed from that of Sunset University.
It certainly was a sight to behold...
The young brunette had followed on the tail of a crowd entering the gym although she stopped not too far from the doorway so she could take it all in. Resplendent decorations were draping from the walls and ceiling, set to glittering as the light from the disco ball flickered from overhead. Various couples were clustered around the refreshment tables while others made the most of the dance floor and the romantic music wafting from the speakers. She had to smile in amusement at some of the couple’s attempts at dancing, the uncoordinated enthusiasm a far cry from the elegance required.
This promises to be an entertaining evening...
Perhaps curiosity wasn’t all that bad.
