''there's soldier boys, beauty queens, everyone's a mystery, it's got me losing control'' boomed out of the stereo speakers, vibrating the ground and the walls. ''Ally, I can barely recognise anyone'' Cali shouted over the music as she removed her mask. Ally grabbed it out of her hands and shoved it back up to her face. ''Put it back on! And obviously, hence the word 'masquerade' dumbass''.
Cali punched the top of her shoulder and tied the two pieces of silk at the back of her mask back together. ''Whatever. Come on, let's go''. Cali carefully took the her steps down the staircase, hoping that she wouldn't slip in her heels.
As both girls reached the floor, everyone seemed somewhat bigger. Ally looked out over the crowd. Everyone was in fancy dress, and everyone had their own masks. ''Ally, you know I don't like parties, let alone masquerade balls! What if some random ass paedophile tries to dance with me?!'' Cali boomed over the music. ''Cali you idiot! Everyone here is from our school, so no random ass paedophile is going to dance with you okay! Go find someone else to annoy''.
Cali rolled her eyes and shoved her drink into Ally's hand. As Cali turned to walk away, a boy bumped into her. ''Oh, I'm sorry!'' he hollered. ''It's okay!'' Cali laughed. She tilted her head up to see who this stranger was, but she felt her heart stop. This mystery boy had a smile that could light up a room, and if she wasn't crazy she could've sworn it did. ''Um, hi!'' Cali stuck her head out for him to shake. The boy smiled again and shook her hand. ''Well, you don't look familiar''.
''How do you know? I have a mask on, you can't see who I am!'' Cali replied flirtaciously. Mystery boy smiled and nodded to himself. ''Okay, good point. What's your name?'' Cali set her new drink down on the table. ''Now why would I give my name out ot a total stranger who doesn't even know who I am?''. Oh yeah, she's flirting he thought. ''Well, then what can I call you?''. Cali stopped to think for a second. ''Your girl''. she smirked.
''My girl? Okay, sounds about right to me''. This sent Cali into a small fit of laughter as she smiled up to him. ''You're something elese, you know that?'' Mystery Boy flicked the collars up on his waistcoat. ''I've been told'' he winked. Cali's eyes glanced over to Ally, who was just simply standing there with her mouth wide open. Cali stifly swiped her hand to the side, telling her to go away. She heard Mystery Boy laugh as she looked back around. ''What's that, some kinda new dance move?''. Cali felt her cheeks flush red from embarrasment. ''No, no it's not, But hey, since I have a nickname, why don't we give you one?''. ''Okay, like what? Your boy?'' he winked again. ''My boy? Okay, sounds about right to me!''. That comment made them both giggle.
''Oh, I have an idea''. Before Cali could respond, he had gone up to the DJ, now whispering, trying to hide something.As he came running back over, Backstreet Boys echoed over the loudspeakers. ''Oh my god, I love this song!'' Cali exclaimed. ''Me too! Wanna dance?'' he asked, holding his hand out. Cali took his hand as he pulled her onto the dancefloor.
''This scene's so hypnotic, smoking mirrors, lights and magic, paper faces in gold''.
Mystery Boy took Cali's other hand and entwined their fingers. He pulled her close to his body, swaying in time to the music.
''It's a masquerade, a love parade, so won't you stay and dance with me, all through the night''.
He spun Cali around before bringing her back closer, wrapping his arms around her waist. As he did, Cali linked her arms around his neck.
''I gotta know the girl behind the mask, let me in, where you've been, don't pretend, don't gotta hide alone, show your face to me, we could be everything''
As the song reached the bridge, Cali noticed that Mystery Boy wouldn't look away from her. She slowly turned her head to face him, and he locked his eyes on hers. The spotlights above were flashing all over the room like crazy, lighting it up. Cali saw him give a crooked smile, before slowly leaning down towards her. As the song erupted into the final chorus, she felt his warm lips on hers as his arms around her waist tightened. She tightened her arms around his neck and kissed back.
The beat from the song made the floor vibrate again. Mystery Boy went deeper into the kiss, bringing his hands up to her back, keeping them there. Cali brought her hands to his face, keeping them there as the continued. ''Masquerade.....'' the song finished. As the beats finally stopped, he pulled away and smiled down to Cali.
''You know, you seem very familiar''. Cali pointed out. ''What, so you've kissed other boys like that?''. ''No, it's just I can't shake this feeling''. He had to. He had to show her who he was. Gripping onto the sides of his mask, he pulled it off revealing who he was. ''G-Greyson?''. Cali's face flushed to a pale shade of white. Greyson nodded. ''Yes, it's me. Greyson Chance. Who are you?''. Cali couldn't speak. She had just danced and made out with internet superstar Greyson Chance. Her legs went weak as she tried to back away. ''Uh, I think Ally's calling me, I have-''. Greyson gripped his hand around her wrist. ''No, you're not going until you tell me who you are. You can't just have a moment like that then not tell me who you are. Please. Tell me''.
She knew she was going to regret this, but Cali began to untie the silk from the back of her mask. As she let it drop to the floor, she heard him gasp. ''Cali?''. Cali kicked her masked on the floor and let out a huff. ''Yes, yes it's me. It's Cali. You happy now?''. Greyson grabbed onto her arms to keep her there. ''Yes, I am''.
''Cali, I found you''.
