You and Me

Chapter 4: Masquerade Ball!

"Nigel, Luke, Trent hurry up. For a bunch of boys you take longer to get ready than girls." I yelled from their living room. They finally came out. My mouth went agape and eyes wide.

"Like what you see." Nigel asked clearly amused at my reaction. No, I loved what I saw who wouldn't? They were a gorgeous trio. "You look stunning by the way." I could feel my cheeks heat up. They were probably the colour if my dress. Nigel never failed to give me compliments, even on days where I am sure I look like trash or when I've just woken up.

I was in my red dress which I paired with silver pumps although you can't see them, under the poofy detachable skirt that came with the dress. The dress overall is very long and a bit heavy. My hair was curled and brushed out a bit to give my hair a silky voluminous look. Part of it caught up to keep it away from my face. I hadn't put my mask on yet. Makeup is actually done for the night and red lips. The guys were wearing black suits, and a tie and vest that matched each of us dresses. Their mask match their vest.

"Way to ruin the moment. I was admiring the plant behind you. It looks very sharp." Bruising their ego once again the cactus is pretty sharp if you ask me.

"Whatever. Let's get this over with." Nigel says as he holds out his arm for me and head for the door and the rest following behind us in the same fashion. Poor Angel got stuck with Luke and Kristen and Trent, well their happy.

"Girls you look gorgeous, tonight. Let's show the rest of the school that too." Luke always the charmer. I see why he get girls when his ego is so large. I heard him whisper something to Angel but if you know Luke he can't whisper so we all heard him say, "You clean up well Angel and I'll make sure no guy comes near you tonight." Don't bother think that something will stem between the two.  Luke just likes to push Angel's buttons. I hear him groan and looked to see him clutching his abdomen while Angel sported s triumphant smirk on her face.

Angel looked stunning in her dress and her makeup was natural but it was glowing. Her dress made her hour glass figure prominent and her long legs looked like they went on for days. Her kinky hair was  silky straight  with a mid part. She looked fresh off the runway. Kristen was looking magnificent and the amount of compliments Trent was throwing her way and how he could not take his eyes off of her said it all. Her hair was curled to perfection and placed in a very voluminous  and elegant ponytail.

"We are pretty late. Mask up, let's go." I instructed as we pulled on our mask as we exit the elevator and left the building.

It felt like a movie when we entered. You know when you go to a ball and you enter and everyone just stops and stare at you. The guys entered stood at the top of the stairs having everyone's full attention before they turned around and held out their hand for us as we emerge from the darkness. Pretty good for a grand entrance. We forgot that there was even a crowd staring at us. Cliché isn't it but who cares.

We walked down the steps together everyone's eyes still on us. The attention of us all being together caused us to split up in different directions. I have this feeling that something is going to happen am not sure what or when. All of a sudden my mouth goes dry. Maybe I need a drink.

Everyone was lost in the crowd and am not in the mood to mingle. As usual fate has it out for me. A hand came into my view, gesturing me to take it. I looked up to the owner. He had brown hair with blonde highlights. It definitely worked for him. His features were well defined. Overall he looked gorgeous.

I think he wants to dance. A slow song that I recognized to be 'For You' by Angus and Julia Stone started to play. I loved that song I couldn't refuse the dance. With my hands in his he led me towards the dance floor.
