Melody walks to her closet and pulls out a violet skirt and a black, long-sleeve shirt which she tucks into her skirt. She decides to use her black boots. She leaves her hair as it is, only collecting hair from both sides of her head and connecting them in the back with a couple of bobbypins.

Angela picks up her camera and directs it towards Eric when something else catches her eye. "Oh, my God," she says, a smile on her face as she looks towards Edward car.

"Everyone's staring," Melody whispers to Edward as he opens the door for her. There's a smirk playing on his lips as he places a hand on her back. Melody stares forward, ignoring the looks of jealously, bitterness, shock, and amusement her classmates give her and Edward.
