When the limousine pulled up at the prom venue, heads turned. Whispers spread quickly through the crowd, curiosity piqued by the unexpected arrival.
When Grace stepped out, there was a moment of stunned silence. Her peers, accustomed to seeing her in patched jeans and faded shirts, were speechless. The girl they had overlooked and mocked stood before them, radiant and confident, with a gentle smile that seemed to light up the night.
Chloe Whitmore, taken aback, found herself momentarily at a loss for words. Her usual haughty demeanor faltered as she watched Grace gracefully thank the chauffeur before turning to face the crowd.
