The last thing Asa wanted was to go to that ball, she would rather stay at her house doing her own things, — Painting, studying, messing up her hair with scissors or sleeping. A silly ball would not satisfy her happiness, a bunch of people dancing and drinking from those shells and so many dirty mouths, ugh.

The smoky black makeup and maroon dress made her uncomfortable, perhaps because she wasn't completely used to it. She sighed deeply, entering the gymnasium crowded with teenagers, some stolen glances in her direction, some cornered smiles that made her feel disgusted, she was not a person like that.

But she searched with her eyes, opening a little smile as soon as she found it. You. The girl she's been studying with for as long as she can remember. Even though you were twice as extroverted, known around school, that real dream girl, you still treated her well, preferring to spend hours studying with her and talking about series and anime than going to a party or something like that.

She approached you, shy as always, after all, — You were a desire for everyone at that university, it was obvious that people looked at you sideways. But you, with your calm and carefree way, put your arm around her shoulders and didn't exclude her from anything, talking to everyone else, keeping her by your side.

But Asa didn't have all the luck in the world, the downside of being your friend was the amount of people you had already been with, your ex-girlfriends. While she was happily leaning against you comfortably, a caress that was much more than friendly, sharing a drink with you, a girl hit her arm, making the glass slip and fall over her chest and clothes. "Ops." The girl gave a cynical smile, winking at you before leaving.

Asa only had the reaction to hold the dress between her fingers, moving away from there towards the bathroom, hearing your distant voice calling her. She pushed the bathroom door open, before letting out a few loose tears. You approached her, she wasn't for you, not being a nerd and introverted.
