1. What should I do? I can't go back to the party like this!

1. "Ugh! Can't get rid of the stain."

1. "Stain." 2. "I don't have any spare clothes to wear."

1. Sigh... I can't tell if it was accidental or intentional.

1. Whatever, I'll just let it be.

1. Just like what xandro said, they seem to enjoy bullying people. So what happened earlier was likely intentional.

4. "Hahahaha" 5. "Did you see her face? She looks so embarrassed."

2. "She looks"

1. "Like a puppy running." 2. "Yeah, I bet you really did that on purpose, everlen."

1. "Haha, of course! You know me, I really dislike having someone with the same outfit as me, especially with what I'm wearing right now." 2. "I knew it! You'll never change." 3. "But you know, everlen, you two only have the same collar with a tie, not everything else. So, I don't think it's that big of a deal, right?"

1. "Of course, it is! I want to be the only one standing out, without anyone else matching me." 2. "That's why it was a great move to do that to her. Haha!"

1. "Are you done, everlen?"

1. "...uh, yeah. Let's go."

1. "Let's go."

1. "Move aside, girls. Don't forget that I'm the center of this group."

1. "Don't worry, we know."

1. "Hey, freya! What's wrong with you? You ruined my outfit!"

1. "Oops! My drink slipped out of my hand."

1. "Now my drink is empty."

1. "What did you just say?!" 2. "Can't you see what you've done? I'm all wet because of you and now you're more concerned about that than me? Are you serious?!" 3. "C'mon, everlen, relax."

1. "Everden, relax." 2. "Well, it was just an accident." 3. "...oh, wait. What about that? Now, both you and ellis have stains on your clothes."

1. "Too bad, there's nothing I can do about it." 2. "But all I can say to you is, you better change your outfit before ellis thinks you're copying her."

1. "What?! Copying who? You're the reason why my clothes got stained. So come back here, freya. I'm not done with you yet." 2. "Stop it, everlen. She didn't do it on purpose." 3. "What do you mean she didn't? Obviously, she did."

1. "Obviously, she did. So let me go!"

1. Tsk! I just made it worse. 2. I don't have a choice, maybe I should just go home.

1. "...freya?!"

1. "...freya?!"

1. "I-I'm sorry!"

1. This is the second time I bumped into her chest. 2. Why is she here? Did she follow me?

1. "...um, a-are you here to make fun of me too like what your friends did to me, freya?"

1. "No."

1. "Come with me."

1. "Wait, where are you going to take me?" 2. "In my car."

1. "...in your c-car?"

1. "No!" 2. "Why would I even consider going with someone who happens to be a friend of the person who caused the stain on my clothes?"

1. "You might have something else planned to mess with my outfit again." 2. "You're not really that judgmental, are you?"

1. "Are you?" 2. "They're my friends, but that doesn't mean I'm like them." 3. "Just come with me. I have spare clothes in my car, I can lend them to you."

1. "Them to you." 2. ...huh? She's helping me? So she's only here to lend me her clothes.

1. But why? Why would she waste her time helping me instead of going back to the party with her friends?

1. ...freya.

1. The girl who is beautiful, talented, and smart, the one everyone desires. 2. However, her grumpy demeanor and lack of interest in others intimidate many, including myself, which is why she is labeled "Pretty snobbish". 3. So I wonder why she's acting differently now, as if the snobbish girl is gone and she has become a different person.

1. The girl who doesn't show any interest is now interested in helping me...

1. ...and gently holding my hand. 2. It's hard to put into words how I feel at the moment. There's a combination of concern and sadness, yet it seems to fade away suddenly.

1. As if I'm holding the gumamela sculpture, which is the only thing that can easily make me feel calm and at peace.

1. ...but why did I feel this way towards this grumpy girl? 2. Freya roman.

1. It seems this grumpy girl will lend clothes as a way to make amends for what she did wrong to me before.

1. Maybe she isn't as bad as they say.

1. "Here, try this. This is the only clothes left in my car." 2. "Is this okay with you?"

1. "Yeah, this will do. It's better than nothing. Actually, I thought I wouldn't be able to join the party because of the stain on my clothes. Good thing you showed up and lent me your extra clothes." 2. "Thanks a lot, freya."

1. "..." 2. "Okay then, you can take off your clothes now."

1. "Now." 2. "Ta-take off my clothes?!"

1. "You sound shocked." 2. "Why? Are you planning to wear that without taking off your stained clothes?" 3. "...huh? Absolutely not! I'm going to change now."

1. "Then, go ahead. And don't worry, you won't be seen inside anyway." 2. "I know! But still, can you please close your eyes while I'm changing."

1. "Are you really still worried about that? We're both girls anyway, so there's no need for any malice."

1. "B-but... I'm not used to anyone seeing me change. So please, could you close your eyes, freya?"

1. "Okay fine, I'm closing my eyes now. Hurry."

1. Good, she's really closing her eyes.

1. "I really want to watch the other dance performances."

1. And I still need to buy water for vivien. 2. So I need to change quickly. 3. My bra is also wet, I can't

1. "Also wet, I can't wear this. Maybe I should just take this off too."

1. I don't think anyone would notice if I'm not wearing a bra since it's already nighttime.

1. ... 2. Why is it so quiet?

1. Could she be done getting dressed already?

1. Hmm, maybe she's done, she just doesn't want to tell me. 2. "Hey, are you done?--"

1. Did she take off her bra?
