 SUMMER FOREVER
Irene always looked so pretty. Maybe it was an American thing. Etta beamed as she watched her walk in, wishing she had her grace. The Hufflepuff felt rather clumsy and awkward with her heels and her knee-length dress but she really had tried to look as pretty as she could. She had to, yeah? Anywaaaay. "Thank you." Compliments were always welcome and Irene always seemed to be full of them. She beamed and gave her a hug. "You look gorgeous. Pretty sure you have a lot of eyes on you tonight." .. but when she started to talk about the challenge, Etta's smile faded. Yeah, no. That was the very last thing on her mind right now. She planned on enjoying this night and.. well, Etta intended to. "I think this ball is so beautiful. I plan on dancing the night away." Her smile returned before giving the other girl a small nudge. "What about you, hmm? Who's your handsome date?"
.. Was it just her or did Kyle seem rather awkward? Oh, gosh. Did he not like socialising? Did he not like the look of her? Not that it mattered or cared about but.. Etta sighed, suddenly feeling that rather self-conscious. But -- hey. He did seem to make an effort at conversation so she smiled, eyeing him curiously. "Why, thanks. Congratulations to you too. I'm just glad it's over, you know?" She refused to let anything from that day enter her mind right now.. nope. Especially the dementor.. she pushed those thoughts away, instead trying to concentrate on the person next to her. "So.. are you having a good time?"
And.. there was Maddox. Etta eyed him out of the corner of her eyes.. huh. He did clean up rather nice, didn't he? She gave him a wave before her attention turned towards the other new entrants. Olivia, though. She looked so lovely. It was weird how her friend never gave herself enough credit. She was about to wave her over.. but Olivia seemed to be in conversation with Noelle, who looked pretty too. Anyway, she hoped her friend remembered their date for later.
Hey.. there was Althea as well. She looked stunning as usual. Etta still wasn't sure if there were on talking terms or not but her dormmate still got a smile. It was always nice to be polite, yeah? There were a few other people too.. like her fellow IMPS competitors but she didn't recognise the others. It was quite a turnout, though.
