The Masquerade Ball

Chapter 2

(Elviras POV)

"What?! Who even is "Andy-wandy"?" I can't believe this. Emma is GUSHING over some... GUY!? I gag inside. She's so revolting.
Emma scoffs, "You don't know who Andrew Poliom is?! What rock are you living under." She does a sassy hairflip and grabs onto the guy's shoulder. "F.Y.I this is MY Andy~wandy" she says in a baby voice "He's the famous designer Baxter Poliom's son and model, and I'M his best friend!" She says with pride.

I can't believe i didn't realize it sooner! The son of my favorite desginer, no wonder he looks so familiar...

I glare at them. "Haha, very funny you two. Since your the best friend of the oh-so-famous Emma, of course you're like her and of course you gum my seat." Andrew's face fills with sadness. "No! That's not what I-" Emma stops him by holding his arm tighter and pulling him closer to her while Clio just grabs my arm and pulls me to our new seats. "They aren't worth our time" she grunts. I grab a tissue from the front desk, put it over the gum, and sit down. I glance over at Andrew and immediately feel.... Is that pity? His head is down and he's sitting by a guy named Felix Bulious; a slight friend of mine who normally sits in the back of class and blasts music into his headphones, but this year is sitting in the front. Suddenly i feel Clio poke me and shows me a picture on her phone. I raise an eyebrow "What's this?". It was a comic with a princess and another princess the same age as her. "It's princess Tulea!" She squeals while scrolling through the comic. Finally, she points to one part.

Princess: You silly little brat, its obvious I will be queen! I'm the most beautiful, rich, and adored person in the kingdom! My makeup costs as much as those expensive rags you call a dress!
Tulea: Does it matter that you think you're beautiful? What someone wants is whats on the inside. You could buy all the makeup in the world to cover your hideous face and what your reality of everything is, but no makeup can cover your revolting personality and the truth of the situation.
False hopes and realities won't solve anything, princess.

I look away from the comic.

False hopes. and realities won't solve anything, princess... I like that!

"I just LOVEEEEE Tulea!" Clio gushes and puts away her phone. I chuckle "I can see that~"
The Teacher does the whole talk thing and class begins. It passes by pretty quickly and before i know it, I'm headed off towards my house.
I open the door, my parents aren't home and i spy a little note on the fridge.

What's this?

I walk closer towards the fridge and and read the note.
"Your father and I are going out for an all-day date! It was a spur of the moment thing. LOL. Anyways, we will be back most likely when you are asleep, there's some dinner in the fridge. Stay safe and have fun!
Love~ Mom."

Oh mom... Her and her prissy, neat handwriting and her use for "lol".
I chuckle,
Maybe i'll just drop off my bag in my room and call Clio to see if i can go over to her place...

I walk upstairs, plop my bag into my desk chair, and see something in the corner of my eye. It's a beautiful, cherry wood, gold dragon printed, hexagonal, box. I grab it out of curiosity and slightly open it. "What's this?" I open it more. As if on que, something shines in the box and before i know it the box has burst open with light flying everywhere, only to reveal a pair of gorgeous, shining, red and black, chandelier earrings, (I dont know what they are called xD) and a red, glowing, ladylike figure.

I try to scream but the figure comes closer and puts her hand on my mouth. My eyes suddenly begin to focus on the figure standing before me, and i see it kinda looks like some weird, red and black haired, new-aged, fairy godmother.

She smiles nervously at me and leans forward a bit, causing a piece of her short hair to fall infront of her face. "PLEASE don't scream!" She pleads. Her voice is as soft as silk, a little high pitched, and as gentle as it gets. She removes her hand from my mouth carefully and takes a step back, then puts out her hand and giggles. "Hi! I'm Tetra!"

But no. My idiotic self is still stunned from what's happening and scatters backwards like a bug. I grab the nearest object i find and throw it at her. "WHAT ARE YOU?!" I ask loudly. I CANT HELP IT OK?! What would you do if you find a random box and open it only to find a weird person thing fly out?!

"Whoa!" Tetra turns into a small bug like thing and dodges the object.

I scream and start randomly throwing things now. Most of the things aren't even hitting NEAR her. I've lost it.

"Elvira PLEASE calm down!" She yells over the crashing of objects.

I stop throwing things but keep stuff in my hands just in case.

What even is this... Thing?! Why does it know my name?!

"Would being in the other form make you more comfortable?" Her voice is so sweet and pure and i begin feeling more comfortable. I nod, and she transforms into the human form.
"I'll explain to you what i am, and why i am here, ok?" She says gently, and i nod once more.

"My name is Tetra. I am something called a Dami; a dressed up version of a kwami. A kwami is a magical creature that gives you powers and a magic outfit when certain words are said, and they get sucked into a miraculous- For this miraculous, the words you say is 'Tetra, spots on'. A miraculous is a magical piece of jewelry. The piece of jewelry holds the dami/kwami, and is the object that will transform the person when the words are said while its put on." She explains carefully and continues.

"The reason i am HERE is because you are the chosen one of this miraculous; there are other miraculouses by the way. I've been sent here to be YOUR dami for as long as it takes!" She says happily.

I nod wearily. "What is this mission?"
Tetra looks me in the eye. "We are going to be crashing and saving a couple masquerade balls for awhile. And one of them is tonight."
