Velma had stepped far out of her comfort zone for this party. She felt beautiful for, possibly, the first time in her life. She didn't even come with Daphne, which was unusual for her. Normally, she stuck to her best friend's side like they were glued together, but today, Velma felt brave. Maybe it was the dress? Gathering up a plate of food, she sat down and watched everything going on around her with a big smile on her face. Even if she didn't talk to anyone, she was happy to be there.
