Selma Payne's POV:
Everyone put on their school uniforms at the same time. First, they feared their outfit would get dirty, and second, they wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.
Dorothy had no choice but to lock the fur shawl in the storage cabinet. Unfortunately, the school's insurance probably could not cover the cost of her dress which was worth two hundred times more than it.
"If I had known, I would have brought the dress to school and changed into it before the dance." Mara complained, "It's too long. It looks good during dances, but it's hard to walk in. "
Many other girls had the same idea as her, but they still put on their 'battle robes' as if nothing had happened.
How many times in a year do you have the chance to wear a gown? Even if I were strangled to death, I'd hold on until the end of the dance!
This was what many people were thinking.
