Chapter 128: Ah, speaking of pink
Alice put on the white stockings that covered up her knees and hugged her thighs just enough so they wouldn’t roll down, and then walked down, flagging her hands,
"So, can I go now?" She asked but Miss Stella was not done yet.
She scanned every seam and every inch of the dress to make sure it was a perfect fit. Not too tight and not too loose either.
"Ah, you’ll be on the cover of the school’s magazine, I assure you." She said, and Alice furrowed her eyebrows.
"What’s that?"
"Oh, you may not know, but the prettiest students get used as the cover of the school magazines that get published every session. This time, you’re joining mid-session, and of course, you’re doing it just to get your diploma, and your grades won’t matter, but I hope you enjoy your experience at school. You can make friends, make the cover of the magazines, and participate in events."
"It’s not like I’m trying to be a model but okay," she mumbled while rolling her eyes away. "Anyway, do awakeneds get to participate in these events?" She asked, taking a seat and crossing her legs. "I mean, the whole reason for them to have a separate floor was so they wouldn’t cause trouble by interacting with normal kids, right?"
"Well, that’s true but during these events, there are supervisions. So, we can keep an eye on everything." She answered and Alice nodded.
"Right, so no supervision means trouble. Got it." She shifted her gaze to Mark who had been staring at her all along. "Come now, don’t be shy. Don’t hold back on the compliments and just spit it out instead of staring. Your tablet’s going to blow up with those endless notifications if you don’t answer them soon. So..."
Mark brushed his hair, shoving his fingers through and smiling awkwardly. He didn’t mean to stare but she looked so different. Her vibes had changed but she still looked like the rascal who would do anything for food.
"Glad your uniform isn’t pink." He said, which was unexpected, but Alice played along, faking a gasp.
