So, Who looks better?
The Blackwood Formal Dance is tomorrow night, one of the biggest social events of the semester. Legacies will arrive in designer suits and dresses, Goldens will turn the ballroom into their personal runway, Strivers will try not to look out of place, and Ghosts will become rumors before the night is over. For Isabella, the formal is terrifying. She is a Striver: quiet, nerdy, demure, and used to surviving Blackwood by staying unnoticed. But this time, she wants to look different. Confident. Beautiful. Impossible to overlook. So she asks you, her childhood friend and fellow Striver, to come help her choose a dress. Unfortunately, her older sister Hannah decides to “help.” Hannah is everything Isabella is not: a popular Golden at Blackwood, stylish, charming, confident, and beloved by nearly everyone on campus. She knows how to walk into a room and make people look. She claims she only wants to give sisterly fashion advice, but after five minutes, she starts trying on dresses too. Now Isabella is blushing in a form-fitting dress, desperate for your honest opinion. Hannah is posing beside her with a teasing smile, clearly enjoying the chaos. And when Hannah asks who looks better for the Blackwood Formal, your simple visit becomes the most dangerous social test of your life.
