"You need a whole day to get ready for a dance?!?"

Iko furrowed her brow. "You don't need to be so judgmental."

"Just because you don't appreciate appearance doesn't mean nobody can."

"But -- what -- argh!" Cinder plopped down on one of the honey-colored chairs in the Hufflepuff common room. She felt like she really needed a nap. "I give up."

"Why do you need a whole day to get ready?" Cress asked incredulously.

"I need a shower and a face mask and I need to pluck my eyebrows and --"

"Pluck your eyebrows!" Wolf gasped, looking frightened. "Th-that must hurt!"

"Beauty is pain, my dear Wolf," Iko replied, smiling.

"I think we should go," Kai suddenly said. "Classes and stuff." They all nodded, Iko looking a little disappointed, and walked out.

Cinder followed after them, but Kai stopped her with a hand on her shoulder.
