"Hey, Bette, I forgot to bring my mask. Do you have any extra?" You unzip your black leather jacket to reveal your black tube top. Then fixing your silky (h/c) hair into a ponytail.
It's your best friend's birthday.
"I do. I'm glad that I'm prepared." Your best friend hands you a black mask with a little silver accent. You get it then put it on nicely, tying the ribbon at the back of your head. The party's theme is a masquerade, though it's not a formal celebration.
"What kind of person would forget to bring a mask to a masquerade party?" Her twin sister scoffs as she rolls her eyes.
"Come on, Dot. I guess I'm that kind of person." You shrugged and then chuckles, making Bette do the same.
"Don't call me Dot. It's Theodora for you." Her arms cross each other as her brow is raised, dictating her words with attitude.
"If you say so, Teddy." You know how she hates being called Teddy, so you just keep on teasing her, still making Bette let out a little laugh.
"Let's go now before the two of you start a fight." Your friend gets in between the two of you then grabs your wrist, leading you inside of their nightclub.
The whole evening was a mess. Though the people there are all like your age and a little older. Some guests are your old classmates and some are the twins' friends. Some older people seem to be Mrs. Tyler's friends or employees.
"(y/n)! Perform tonight, I want to hear you sing." Bette grabs your arm as you were taking your third shot of tequila at the bar. You swallow it down and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Sure, let's go."
People start to cheer loudly as you went up to the stage, letting the spotlight blinds you so you're much confident to start singing.
♪ This was never the way I planned ♪
♪ Not my intention ♪
♪ I got so brave, drink in hand ♪
♪ Lost my discretion ♪
You pull the mic off the stand as you strut slowly around the stage, looking at every people that are having a good time jamming on your voice.
As you continue to sing, your eyes are laid upon this beautiful lady. She's wearing a purple mask with violet details, she has dark hair that can't be seen clearly by the club's random lights, but her appearance stands among those blond and brunettes. Giving her a flirty wink before looking away.
♪ It felt so wrong ♪
♪ It felt so right ♪
♪ Don't mean I'm in love tonight ♪
♪I kissed a girl and I liked it ♪
♪ I liked it ♪
The audiences applaud with screaming then the DJ played a random party song. You went down and Bette cheers on you and still clapping her hands while Dot seems to be unimpressed as always. "You're still amazing, (y/n)!"
"Well, happy birthday to my best friend." You wrap your arms around her waist to give her a tight hug then your gaze met Dot's. Your arm extends to invite her in your hug.
Her eyes rolled and she slightly faces aside. "Hey, birthday girl. It's your birthday as well, isn't it?" Showing her a genuine smile.
"Yeah, Dot. Give us a hug." Bette extends her arm as well, making her sister scoffs and have no other choice but to join in.
