Justice ditches the dance after the prom court winners are announced. She's not really mad, but she's in a sour mood and Blake is busy and so she doesn't want to be there anymore. But she also doesn't want to go back to her room just yet, and instead meanders around campus until settling down on the grass out behind the dorm building.
If she were a little more prudent she might care about lying down in damp grass in her nice dress, but she doesn't, and she stretches out like a starfish and burying her fingers in the grass. She hadn't even been expecting to win or anything. She knows it was sheer force of will that got her nominated at all. But it's hard to let the idea of winning go once she's set her mind on it. You only want things you can't have, she thinks, twisting a piece of grass apart between her fingers as she considers the sky.
It's a nice night, warmer than it has been lately, and for once she prefers the silence to the noise and music of the dance. She almost feels content for a second.
