Connie glances at mirrors to check on her appearance often, and when she talks, it's a "high, breathless, amused voiced that made everything she said sound a little forced, whether it was sincere or not."
Connie likes to go out with her friends and flirt with boys in town, but at home, her mother scolds her for being vain, and she has an older sister that is constantly praised for being more responsible.]]> 2017-03-02 20:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tei8433/tzkzhgv3mb7a/wish/157475537 tei8433 https://padlet.com/tei8433/tzkzhgv3mb7a/wish/157477760 Arnold Friend is the mysterious and creepy guy that Connie sees one time on a night out. He has black, shaggy hair, and he dressed like the other guys would normally -- tight jeans with a belt, boots and a white shirt. He was short, and he stuffs his over-sized boots to make him appear taller.
Friend talks smoothly, drawing Connie in despite not wanting to. He appeared older, but claimed to be eighteen (the story does not confirm his age). He has a big, sleepy dreamy smile and white teeth. Overall, he's creepy yet draws Connie in with the way he talks.]]> 2017-03-02 20:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tei8433/tzkzhgv3mb7a/wish/157477760
