"Dora, hi…I thought you would be joining us.." Noami started, when I fully faced her, my hand still clasped with Diana's.
"Don't worry about the strictness of their faces, they are quite cool, especially the boys. I have seen how you catch their attention, and I think they will be pleased to see you, and know you…your mask.."
I watched her stutter, like she hadn't seen the mask that covered my face, like she was just seeing it now.
"It's something I have to wear." I answered stiffly, probably because I didn't want a conversation about the mask, or most probable because I hated that she had classified that crowd as cool.
