"Honest truth?"

"Always. Well, from you and Lupita always" SHe nods

"Well. Puberty fairy."

"huh?" she says then.. what was said makes sense "oh?" A look down at herself "Oh" She slowly draws her arms over her torso "You sure I... uhm.."

Yeah.. she's sure

"Well, you look just fine. I swear!"

A look of relief, "Well... I..thank you"

"Ask Sylvi, she's the fashion plate. Me, I mean..." Shrug, and a pluck of the hoodie.

"You are fine ... and I wish I had your eyes so" May says then looks, "Hey, did you do something to your hair and it go wrong? Is that why the hoodie? You seem to be hiding a lot and... well, you were honest with me about my looks, so being honest with you, I don't see anything for you to worry about."

"My hair is okay. Tove helped."

"Well, I don't see anything wrong with your face, but.. I guess I'm, a hypocrite because I'm really wishing I had something baggy to wear right now"

"No, I feel ya..."

"...I bet if I text Tove, she could bring something?"

"Oh that's... not..." A look "Could she?"

"Hey!" Sylvi waves to the two when she spots them in the hall. "How's it..." she pauses as she sees Sam has covered up and washed off the make-up, but decides not to comment. "How's it going so far?"

And May scrunches

Sylvi spots the scrunch and looks puzzled. "Um...."

Tove gets a text - fashion emergency!

"Hey, Sylvi" May says "Good to see you again"

"It.. dunno." SHe chews on her lower lip. "Sorry."

"You too, May!" Sylvi smiles, then she looks at Sam. "Sorry? About what?"

Blush/shrug, scuff, vague gesture at her face.

Bzzzt Fashion Emergency? What do I need to bring?

bzzt: Sweatshirt or button down for May?

Sylvi shrugs. "It's okay. What happened? It smudged?"

Bzzt In this heat? Button down better but yes. Something for you too?

"I'll tell you what happened" Tanya / Nadeen says as she approaches "My boyfriend is an idiot"

"Huh? I mean, hi, but then, huh?"

bzzt I brought hoodie

Sylvi glances at the frantic texting going on.

Sam shrinks a little, blushing. "Can we not? It was dumb. Stupid idea."

Bzzt Hoodie? hair trouble?

bzzt Hair fine! Can u bring shirt or not?

Tanya says "I think we should talk about it..."

She scowls at the phone.

A blink, and she looks...hurt? Maybe a little. "I...okay...."

Bzzt I'm already on my way, and tone is very hard to read online but please be nice

Tanya says "Zane drew attention it, didn't recognize her at first... asked who she was dolling up for, or something equally brilliant."

Sylvi blinks uncomprehendingly at Tanya for a moment.

Her jaw juts, hands clenched.

"What guy I was trying to fuck."

"THat ass" May says forgetting her own shyness!

Sylvi blinks. "He said that? Where is he....?"

"Not that exactly. That's what he meant."

"I hadn't heard it was THAT bad..." Tanya says "Zane is clueless but not often cruel"

May looks ready to find Zane and kick his ass regardless

"He asked me who you were trying to impress." Sylvi groans. "I told him girls can just use make up for themselves, not to impress somebody."

"I mean, heck, guys can, too...."

"Exactly" Tanya says "I TRY to train him... but " hapless gesture

"Are we done?"
