Everyone Mocks Girl in Cheap Dress at Party Until White Limousine Stops in Front of Her — Story of the Day
Lena had never been one to care much about appearances, but she knew tonight was important. Her best friend, Mia, had convinced her to attend the biggest party of the year, hosted by one of the wealthiest girls in school, Victoria. It was the kind of event where everyone dressed in designer outfits and arrived in flashy cars, but Lena didn’t have that luxury.
Her family had always struggled financially, and while others wore brand-name dresses, Lena had to make do with a second-hand dress her mother had bought from a thrift store. It was a simple blue dress—nothing fancy, but it was clean and neat. As soon as she walked through the grand entrance of Victoria’s mansion, whispers and giggles surrounded her.
“Did she really wear that?” one girl sneered.
“I think my maid has something similar,” another laughed.
Lena felt her cheeks burn, but she held her head high. She wasn’t here to impress anyone—she was here because Mia wanted her to have fun. But as the night went on, the comments only got worse. Victoria, dressed in an extravagant red gown, finally approached Lena with a smirk.
“Did you think this was a charity event?” she mocked. “Or did you just get lost on your way to the discount store?”
Lena clenched her fists, forcing herself not to react. She had learned long ago that people like Victoria thrived on making others feel small.
Just as she was about to leave, a deep rumbling sound echoed outside. Heads turned toward the grand entrance as a sleek white limousine pulled up in the driveway. The crowd gasped in awe, murmuring about who the VIP guest could be.
Then, to everyone’s shock, the driver stepped out and walked directly towards Lena.
“Miss Lena,” he said with a respectful bow, “your car is ready.”
The entire room fell silent. Lena blinked in confusion, but then recognition flashed across her face. Her father’s boss, Mr. Montgomery, had insisted she use his limousine for the night as a thank-you for her father’s years of dedication. She had initially refused, not wanting to attract attention, but he had arranged it anyway.
Victoria and her friends watched in horror as the driver opened the door for Lena, treating her like a VIP. People who had been laughing at her moments ago now looked at her in admiration and envy.
Lena turned to Victoria with a small smile. “I may shop at discount stores,” she said, “but respect and kindness don’t come with a price tag.”
With that, she stepped into the limo, the door closing behind her as the crowd stood frozen in shock. As the car drove away, Lena realized something important—she never needed expensive clothes to prove her worth. Her kindness and dignity had already made her richer than anyone at that party.
