Gentle Night

I left the infirmary after receiving first aid treatment. Ace boosted my confidence even though I didn't want to ask Night to the dance anymore. I'm delighted that my ankle isn't swollen, the nurse already did a check-up on me, and she said it'll be okay with plenty of rest. It doesn't hurt anyway, so I can probably dance a little. But where is Night? Don't tell me he already went to his room to rest? Just when I needed him. 

"Noelle!" 

Carla ran towards me while Maris waved her hand. "I was so worried about you!" She said as she pulled me into a hug. "Francesca really did something cruel. I can't believe her." Carla added, and I agreed. I didn't know someone could do something so evil to other people. 

"If you don't want to go to that stupid dance, it'll be fine," Maris said.

Carla nudged Maris. "Don't call it stupid."

"Okay. Then will Noelle still go to that dance?"
