Chapter 12: Dewey Sky

*** Ariana's POV***

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror before heading to the class that morning. I straightened my hair with my hands so that my wavy hair fell over my shoulders in just the right way. I corrected the neckline of my blouse so that it was straight. I was wearing a light blue blouse and a slightly ruffled white knee-length skirt.

This was not the best choice of garment for the autumn, but it was the right choice if I wanted to please my mate. I hoped he would find me today at school and be impressed with this new outfit. I smiled at myself in my reflection and hoped he would not notice my slightly crooked front tooth. I used to have braces when I was little. Everyone always said it was invisible, but I always saw it.
