The Masquerade Ball

Chapter 1

(•Elvira's POV •)

Hi..? Um.... how do i start...

I guess i should tell you who i am to start off... My name is Elvira Arine, but my friends call me El. I have black hair that almost appears as a dark blue, blue eyes, and i am 15 years old. Other than that i don't really know what to say...

1 Month ago, my life changed. I'm not sure if it's for better or for worse yet but all i know is that something... Strange happened.

Let's go back to that month.
Let's see... It was the first day of Tenth grade....

I wake up to my phone ringing like crazy. I quickly pick it up and look at the caller; My best friend, Clio Aurelia; but i call her Clo. She's my crazy, Lilac-purple-haired, purple-eyed, gorgeous, best friend of 6 years.
I quickly answer.
"Hello?" My voice is slurred. Immediately, her voice blasts through the phone. "WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU GIRL?!" I pull away a little bit and rub my ear, whew, no blood. "Whoa, easy there tiger" i say, now wide awake. "Do you NOT know what DAY and TIME it is?!" I could almost feel her rage through the phone. I checked the calendar and saw that today, in fact, was the first day of school. My eyes widened as i slowly looked at the clock. 7:08am, i have exactly 23 minutes to be ready and get to school. Luckily, i live near it so i don't have to worry as much, but i'm still cutting it close.

"Well?" She says impatiently. "I do now! I'm headed right there- could you please tell the teacher something to keep her off my back?" I plead, pointlessly make puppy dog eyes and quickly hopping out of bed, kicking everything out of my way as i walk to the closet.  I hear Clio groan, "Fineeeee. You owe me one El. Cya at school~" "Thanks Clo!" I smile and quickly end the call. I throw on the clothes i made, my usual clothes; A black jacket with a pink polka-dot pattern on the inside, and a white shirt with a slight pink flower print. I run to the the bathroom and basically rip out my hair as i quickly brush it and put it into my usual pigtails. I check the mirror.

I look pretty good... Well... Not 'pretty' or 'good' but i don't look too bad considering i just woke up.
Wait... No time to check myself out.... Gotta get to school!

I think, my thought...voice...thing sounding more and more panicked when I reached the word "school". I shake my head and dash downstairs.

Wow... I didn't trip this time!

Was i seriously surprised i'm not as clumsy as i think i am?

Yes. Yes you were.

I roll my eyes at myself and practically throw a piece of bread in the toaster.   "Morning mom!" My mom looks away from the t.v and stares at me like i'm an alien. "Oh, hi honey! I thought you were at school already...?" I shake my head and get some condiments from the fridge. "I kinda... Forgot the first day of school was today." I chuckle sheepishly and grab the now toasted toast from the toaster.

Hehe... Toasty toast toast toasted toaster.

Shhh.

"Oh El, what are we ever going to do with you." My mom laughs and gets up to hug me. She kisses me on the forehead as i put the jam and butter and take a humongous bite out of my breakfast. I smile a bit. "Love you mom~" "Love you too Elvira." She grabs my already packed backpack and hands it to me. "You should head to school now sweetie." She kisses me on the head again as i finish my toast, and waves me out the door. "Bye mom!" "Bye honey!"

I run downstairs and into the bakery, where my dad hands me a box of cookies. "Fresh from the oven. Have a nice day at school El!" I peck him on the cheek "Thanks dad! Bye!" I dash towards the door and nearly knock over a old man that can't find his wallet. I gently put my hand on his shoulder. "It's on the house~" He smiles gently and bows. I wave bye as i dash out of the door and slam the cross button so i can hurry to school.

Gotta go fast

Sanic sped

I snort at myself and cause other people to stare as i cross the street and head to school. I hold tightly onto the box of cookies while i walk up the stairs. I'm pretty clumsy, so i have to be careful with these things. When i walk into the classroom i see Clio standing, tightly holding onto her bag, and looking at Emma, Emma Kysten (class bully) at my seat with her hands on her hips, smirking and glaring at Clo, and Some guy that seemed familiar, putting gum on Emma's seat.

Looks like i'm stuck in yet another year of being in class with the mayor's daughter.

Emma is the first to speak. "Just in time, Elvira Arine" she says in a snarky voice. I slightly glare at her. "Emma, that's my seat.." I say in a not-very-confident voice. "Was, your seat. New year, new seats. And since Andy~wandy is sitting here-" she pointed towards the seat in front of her and smiled at the new boy;who wasn't paying attention. "I'm sitting here! And you're sitting-" she pointed towards her old seat and smirked "there."

Hey guys~
