Chapitre 123: Unplanned Invitations    

[EVE]

The last thing I wanted was to be the girl everyone whispered about in corners, the one people dismissed before they even got to know her.

So yes, I would go. I would take this opportunity and make it work for me, turning a simple study session into the first step toward fixing my social life and building a reputation I could be proud of.
