Evaline:
The ballroom glittered like a thousand stars had descended upon the Silver Moon Academy that night. Chandeliers shimmered with moonlight, crystal reflections dancing across the marble floor. Music drifted through the air - soft, elegant, timeless.
I couldn't help but let out a small breath of wonder as I stepped in, surrounded by my friends.
This was it - the night everyone had been waiting for.
The moment we entered, the entire ballroom seemed to hum with energy. I could feel eyes turn toward us, but I didn't let it get to me. Instead, I smiled, clutching Mallory's arm as we made our way deeper into the crowd. My heels clicked softly against the floor, and for once, I didn't mind being in the center of attention. After all, everyone was dressed to impress tonight.
