A Terrible Friend
Mana paced back and forth in her room. She had gone straight home after she left Tresor. Had everything gone to plan, Lila would have protected her and Lina's credibility would have been sullied.

As tears swelled at the side of her eyes, she looked up and looked at herself directly in the mirror. She saw a face that was easily forgotten in the crowd and a body that was unshapely and awkward.
