 SUMMER FOREVER
Etta beamed when Junia complimented her outfit. She'd thought that the dress looked quite pretty on her but the fact that other people appreciated it made her feel even more happy. It was the small things, always. "Thank you, Junia." She gave her friend another bright smile. .. She blinked momentarily at her next few words though. Was Junia rambling a bit? Or was it just her? Did her friend usually talk so much? Etta didn't think so but.. maybe she was feeling rather talkative. Eh. She was probably reading too much into it. Moving on.
"Well, even if he's an attention magnet tonight.. I'm sure his eyes will only be on his beautiful girlfriend." Etta said with the slightest hint of a smirk. They were rather cute. Sam and Junia. They seemed to be so perfect for each other and she was genuinely happy for them. For Junia, especially. Where was her boyfriend? Good question. She literally had no idea. He was supposed to meet her at the ballroom, wasn't he? "I'm sure he's around somewhere. Talking to friends.. probably. Or grabbing some food to eat. He'll be here very soon. He looks so handsome in a suit, Junia." She really couldn't wait to dance with him later.
"Right? I've always wondered what a ball would be like too! I've only read about it in books but now that I'm here, it feels so magical. In fact, I almost feel like a princess tonight, you know?" It was a weird feeling but a good kind of a feeling somehow. She found it hard to explain. She pondered over it for a moment or two before mentally shrugging it off. "Right? I've been itching to dance since the second I got here.. but people seem to be busy dancing with their partners." Had anyone asked her to dance? She shook her head. A little disappointing, wasn't it? "Maybe we should just wait and see?" Gosh, she really wanted to dance!
Her gaze kept flicking towards the entrance to see if Levi showed up.. instead she spotted a familiar face standing nearby. Lachlan Wheeler. Hmm. She decided to give him a smile because why not? This ball was an opportunity to make new friends as well, right? He was apparently quite nice too.. from what she'd heard about him anyway.
