Beautiful Prom Night

[Mandy's Diary at Senior]

I looked at myself in the mirror as I tried on the dress I was going to wear to prom tomorrow night. Besides me, Candice also tried on the dress. We both turned in front of the mirror to assess each other's appearance.

"Your dress suits you," said Candice.

"Isn't it too flashy? I've never worn a dress like this. But, since Justin bought it, I'll use it to appreciate it."

"But your dress is really pretty. You're like a princess in a fairy tale."

I smiled and looked at Candice. "You too. Is this from your sister?"

Candice took a deep breath. "You already know that ever since my parents divorced, my sister chose to go abroad to study and stay away from my family."

I opened my mouth. Oops, I said something I shouldn't be. "Sorry, Candice."

"That's okay! After all, I'm also not that close to my sister."
