Chapter 9

It's December now and the academy has become busy.

It was not just busy,the student were informed that we were having a Christmas ball,a masquerade ball in fact.

All the girl went crazy,talking about what they should wear,how they should do their hair,you know girl stuff.

The guys on the other hand,were calmer about it.

"Please tell me your not forcing me in a tuxedo..."I ask,internally begging that they say no.

"Hate to tell you,but you have to,"Natsume says boredly. "I'm being forced as well."

I make a 'you've-got-to-be-kidding-me' look and sigh.

Ruka pats my back,"the only real problem is who you dance with."

"And that's supposed to help me how?"I ask.

"Ah,sorry,"he apologizes.

I shake my head.

~•~

The masquerade ball was only half an hour away.

Was I scared?

No.

Was I freaking out?

No.

Was I worried?

No.

Was I slightly worried?

Yes,in fact I was.

I just hoped something bad didn't happen.

To tell you the truth,I was hoping to dance with Haruhi.

"Are you ready?"Natsume asked.

"Yes,"I groan.

"Come on then,"he said pulling me out of the room.

Ruka joined us a little while later.

"How are you two?"he asked,petting his bunny.

"Neutral,"I say and Natsume nods agreeing.

"Did you hear what Narumi was talking about earlier?"Ruka asked.

"About the mask thing?"I ask.

Ruka nods.

"He was say something about if you take off your partner's mask,a strong bond will form,but he never said what type of bond,"Ruka sighs.

We arrived to the place where the ball was held.

We looked at each other and put on our masks.

We walked through the crowds of students and went to the edge of the tree line, away from the crowd.

Once all the student had gathered,Narumi appeared in a Santa suit and said the first dance was beginning.

I pat both Natsume's and Ruka's backs and say lowly,"let the games begin..."
