“This one’s better,” Lydia said, her voice calm and genuine as she handed the bottle over. She honestly wanted them to have it. If they’d acted like Daisy, she wouldn’t have bothered sharing at all.
Monica’s eyes lit up as she took the bottle. “Thank you, Lydia! Do you always wear sunscreen?”
Lydia nodded. “Yeah, every day.”
Monica let out a sigh, full of admiration. “No wonder your skin actually glows. It’s gorgeous.”
Fiona was already unscrewing her bottle, grinning. “Seriously, Lydia, what skincare do you use? You have to recommend something. Your skin is so smooth, it’s like a pearl.”
Lydia just smiled. “I’ll send you the links later, promise.”
Over on her bed, Daisy watched Monica and Fiona with their little white bottles and rolled her eyes. No brand name, nothing special. And they still wanted to use it? If their faces broke out, they’d have no one but themselves to blame. She wasn’t about to say anything. Sometimes being nice just gets you nowhere.
Lydia went to take a quick shower, pulled on her pajamas, and climbed into bed for a nap. She was just getting comfortable when she remembered she hadn’t checked the school forum yet.
Logging in, the first thing she saw was the campus queen poll.
First place: Lydia, 15,688 votes.
Second place: Yara, 9,556 votes.
Third place: Rosie, 7,654 votes.
