Hayley had gone to leave her room, seen the blinding faerie again, and promptly closed her door again. Waiting for the girl to leave. She felt bad, as it made her look like she was avoiding the likely quite lovely roommate, but she had no choice. Her eyes, better adjusted to darkened spaces, hurt from the excess light she couldn't get used to. Her room had never had its lights turned on so she could be comfortable.

However, it was ball day. She was both excited and extremely nervous; Saranja would be there but so would everyone else. More people to stare at her, be disgusted by her...she slid down the door to sit on the floor, hugging her knees and calming herself down.

[i]I'll be fine. I'll just...stay with Saranja all evening. Maybe hide behind her so I don't get blinded.[/i]

She sighed; Hayley knew she had to move rooms away from the brighter-aura'd students but didn't have the courage to. [i]I bet father is embarrassed of me.[/i]

With a sigh she rose, and collected the beautiful frilly black dress. Holding it close as she left to a dark apartment - the faerie had left - and she made her way out. Heading towards where Saranja was staying. Hoping the Satyr hadn't left yet.
