1. "Your friend chose a very nice outfit."
2. "The outfit looks even more stunning on someone as lovely as you."
3. "So I'm pretty sure many will be looking at you tonight."
1. "Sure many will be drawn to you at school."
1. "You really got that from your mom, ellis."
2. "Aunt, I appreciate your compliment. But I doubt anyone will notice me there. I'm just a nobody at school."
1. "With so many beautiful girls in our school, I'm sure no one would even bother to look at me."
1. "Ellis, you're one of those beautiful girls. Don't argue with that!"
2. "You know, you and your mom are really the same. You don't realize how beautiful you are."
1. "Okay, okay, fine, aunt."
1. "Aunt, you're just as beautiful as mom because you're her twin."
2. "Oh well, you're right, but your mom is more beautiful. Haha!"
1. "By the way, your 18th birthday is coming up soon. Your uncle and I are discussing plans for it."
2. "So, we've decided it would be best to celebrate your birthday at the community gym. What do you think?"
3. "Um, that sounds good."
1. "That sounds good, aunt. But isn't it a bit costly? I'm okay with a simple birthday celebration."
2. "Ellis, don't worry about the expenses. What matters is that you enjoy your birthday. So, what do you think?"
3. "If that's the case, aunt, I'm fine with that."
1. "Great! Make sure to invite your friends, okay?"
2. "Okay. Thank you, aunt."
1. "Ahem! Are you two finished talking? Dad has been waiting outside for a while now."
1. "Let's hurry! The party might start and we're still not there."
2. "Oh, got it! We're heading out now. Goodbye, aunt!"
3. "Bye mom."
1. "Okay, make sure both of you take care, alright?"
1. "I really like your outfit."
1. "See, that's what I was telling you last week. They really chose something that suits me perfectly. So, thanks to my mom and dad for picking it for me."
1. "Everlen, you always depend on your parents. That's why you're so spoiled."
2. "Of course, that's why I get whatever I ask for from them. That's just how it goes when you're an only child, isn't it?"
3. "Haha! Yes, indeed."
1. "Huh? She is here?"
1. "She is here?"
2. "Who?"
1. "Freya."
1. "Freya, it's surprising that you're here."
2. "Why? Am I not supposed to be here?"
1. "Well, we were expecting you wouldn't attend, even though you said you would, just like last year."
2. "Right! It's nice that you came tonight. Also, curly hair looks good on you."
3. "Any reason for curling your hair?"
1. "I just wanted a different look for our event tonight."
1. "So, that's why you look different tonight, freya!"
1. I thought she didn't care about her appearance, so why the sudden change?
1. Is it because she wants to appear more attractive so that all the boys will be drawn to her?
2. Hmmm...
1. "I didn't expect freya at the party tonight and she styled her hair. It's unusual, right, vivien?"
1. "He's pretty, isn't he?"
1. "Hey, vivien! Are you listening? I've been talking to you and you're not responding!"
1. "Uh, sorry, were you saying something?"
1. "Seriously?! You've been wearing airpods this whole time."
2. "It seems like I'm talking and nobody's listening."
3. "Sorry, I had no idea you were talking."
1. "You were talking to me."
2. "Wait, why that tone? Is there a problem again?"
1. "Uh, nothing, I'm just not in the mood, maybe tired from practicing our dance."
2. "Xandro, please give me some space"
1. "Right now. I need to conserve my energy for our dance later."
2. "Sure."
1. Xandro said they were in the front seat, but it's embarrassing to pass through due to the crowd.
1. I wish I had arrived earlier to avoid the crowd.
1. Ugh, whatever. I can't do anything about it now. I can't just leave because there are too many people here.
2. Anyway, where are they?
1. I'm already up front, so I should have seen them by now.
1. Thank god, there they are.
2. "Hey! Vivien, xandro!"
1. "Sorry, it took me a while to get here."
1. "Can we sit together?"
2. "Come, ellis! We've been waiting for you. Grab a seat before someone else does."
1. "Okay--"
1. Oh no! Why are they standing here? Have they been here for a while? I didn't even notice.
1. "Huh, freya? ...did she curl her hair?"
1. Mesmerised
1. Whoa... It really suits her. She looks stunning. She's totally giving off that mafia boss vibe from movies.
1. Those eyes of hers, staring at me again, as if they're peering into my soul.
2. Uncomfortable
3. I can't handle this.
1. I don't think I can handle this. I just can't meet her gaze.
1. "Uhm, excuse me, I'll be passing through."
1. "Ellis, you look amazing in that outfit we chose."
1. "Hehe... Thanks again, vivien. My aunt loved my outfit."
2. "Oh, really? I'm glad she loves it."
3. "Let's take a seat."
4. "Huh? Why are you sitting there?"
1. "We should be seated in the front."
2. "No, I don't like it. It's too close to the stage."
1. "I can't believe we're sitting here. We're supposed to be at the front."
2. "You can sit there instead, if you want."
3. "No, it's okay, freya. We'll just sit here."
1. No way! Freya is sitting right next to me! Why did they choose to sit here instead of the empty seats over there?
2. It seems the more I try to keep
1. The more I try to keep my distance from her, the closer she gets. I wonder if she notices that I'm avoiding her?
2. "Hey guys, I'm stepping out for a bit. I need to meet with my group to get ready for our dance performance later."
3. "Oh, is that so? Good luck, vivien!"
1. "Woah! Now, I'm excited!"
2. Now what should I do? I'm feeling nervous and restless. It feels like
1. It's just freya and me here.
1. After what freya did, everything changed. It seems she has no intention of apologizing, so I'm unsure how to react if she's around.
2. How can I maintain my focus on the party and vivien's performance later with freya beside me?
1. "You seem unable to sit still. Is something wrong?"
2. "Uh... Nothing. I'm just feeling really excited right now."
