So today was portfolio day at my school. We had to be dressed

So today was portfolio day at my school. We had to be dressed professionally because we would be presenting to an adult. I was wearing a white dress with brown buttons down the middle. While I was walking with my friend at school, one of my guy friends came up to us and said. " Why do you two look so beautiful?" I immediately said thank you. I was feeling so terrible today and that small compliment made me feel a little better.
