The night was indeed lovely for the students of Gilead Academy as they arrived either by themselves, by pairs, or with their friends such as myself this evening. Faint, melodious music can now be heard as soon as we approached the doors of the castle.
I complained for, I think the nth time already, of how itchy I felt particularly in my face as I am so tempted to scratch it-- hard. But then that wouldn't be so feminine of me, then there is a high risk of ruining my makeup if I did so. Poor Maggie, who worked so hard to make me look pleasant this evening, if that ever happens.
But other than that, I felt somewhat nervous and awkward at the same time the very moment we set foot inside the castle. It was truly awkward indeed to know that the very place I have been residing in for the past few months since I got here in Citadel is also the venue for tonight's event.
