Hidden (A Nathan Sykes fanfic)

Chapter Three

Friday

"IT'S THE MASQUERADE BALL TONIGHT!" Naomi squealed excitedly along with Lauren. I sighed and rolled my eyes. The ball was the hot topic of the week. All the girls fussing over what to wear and all the boys fussing over who to take. The weird thing was Sophie and Nathan broke up! I have no idea why. 

"Er hi.... could I speak to Naomi?" Max asked walking up to us. She looked at him and grinned. Lauren and I nodded and she went off with Max. 

"He's probably gonna ask her to the ball. I wish Jay would with me!" Lauren grumbled adjusting her bag over her shoulder. 

And at that point Jay walked over stealing Lauren away from me. You should of seen the look on her face! I wish I had a camera! 

Nathan was flirting with a few girls but apparently they were all taken. Ha. Serves him right. I put my bag in my locker when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around to see Nathan. 

"Hey babes." he said. What the fuck? 

"What?" I snarled. 

"Would you like to come to the ball with me?" he asked sweetly. 

"No thanks. I'd rather go with a dog." I slammed my locker shut, "Remember I'm not even going!" 

"You were serious about that?" Nathan asked. 

"Yeah." I replied, "Now go away. I don't have any time for you!" 

I then flicked my hair and marched off to my Science lesson. 

*The evening*

I stuffed some more crisps in my mouth. I have such a sad life, no joke. I got up from the sofa and threw my crisps away. Maybe going to the ball was a good idea. 

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I ran up to it and opened it. 

I saw Lauren and Naomi with five plastic bags all ready for the ball. 

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked. 

"Cinderella ALWAYS goes to a ball." Naomi said and with that they came in and rushed me upstairs.

"I don't want to go!" I moaned. 

"Elodie! You have to!" Lauren replied. 

"Fine I will go, but only for an hour then I'm going back home!" I said. 

"We've got a dress for you and everything!" Naomi smiled revealing a cute dress. It was a black and gold lace strapless dress. Attached to it was a gold clutch.

"Go and put it on then!" Lauren said. I rushed in to the bathroom and put it on. The top hugged my body perfectly and showed enough of my cleavage. It was perfect. I grabbed the clutch and and went to show the girls. 

"You look lovely!" Lauren complimented grinning. 

"Time for hair and makeup!" Naomi pushed me on to a chair and grabbed the curler. I let her do her work with the hair and makeup. 

"Done!" she smiled proudly. 

I looked in the mirror and gasped, I was there! A completely new me! She had curled my hair but making sure she put all my hair at the back so you could properly see my face. She had applied red lipstick, golden eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner and put on fake eyelashes but they looked real. 

"What do you think?" she asked. 

"I'm..... speechless. You did an amazing job!" I replied admiring myself.
