Masquerade

Plan A

I yawned watching the clock tick and tock, tapping my Ticonderoga pencil in my hand. It was just another day of school, the hot sun beaming down my head making me a little dizzy. When I was little I was very ill, so I'll that if I stepped a foot in that mild sun I could possibly collapse and be unconscious for twenty four hours. It was a gene I got from my mothers side, her sister Chloe was not used to the sun due to fact she would get dizzy.

Rolling my eyes, another gene from my useless being.

'Ring!!

Soon school ended, waiting outside pulling out my ice pack and umbrella. As soon as they got out they were both laughing. "Hey." I said faintly smiling, they gave a cheesy smile. "Guess what today is?" Called out Nancy. I knew wha today was. Shopping for our gowns and mask, I lied and shrugged. "Studying night out at Amy's Casa." I said. Amy face palmed her head. "No silly gown shopping." Said Amy. I faked laugh, oh great.

As walking I was thinking of scenarios to get out of here. Maybe I could pretend I was ill from the heat. But they wouldn't fall for it due to the fact I had an umbrella and a nice pack on my neck. But it was worth a try. "Ugh." I said, ignoring it I tried twice louder. "UGH!!" I said Amy raised an eyebrow "you k?" She said, I shook my head. "Not really a little dizzy." I said, Amy knew I would easily get sick from too much energy radiating from the heat but she also knew my lying techniques. Raising an eyebrow, "how many fingers?" She said. Holding five I guess three.

"Mm. Seems like it's the sun," said Amy, walking along. As I was walking Amy grabbed my umbrella from me, running after it I knew I was caught. "Aha you liar you were running in a straight line." She said, just dang great. "Your not getting away from this." She said. I shrugged, oh we'll. as soon as we headed there I could smell the new cloth and flowers. "Hello may I help you." Said the lady. She looked in her mid thirties, she had blonde hair that was pulled in a tight bun, wearing some sharp edged glasses, and a purple dress. Her red lipstick making her eyes pop.

I shrugged. "Uhh yes, we were looking for some elegant gowns to wear on Friday." Said Nancy. The lady clapped her hands twice. "Yes yes." She said tapping her manicured nails meaning follow me. There stood three gowns. All beautiful, one red that had rhinestones on the bottom corner, a mint green that looked like showing off curves, and a black one with white lace on the rim. "I ordered these a week ago." Said Nancy. Leaving Amy in tears of joy. "We'll the red ones your Amy and the black one is yours." Said Nancy, I thanked her.

"It totally matches your style and your look." Said Nancy winking. I blushed. What was she saying. "No." I said. It was beautiful so glamorous, but only to wear once and cost so much. I needed to repay Nancy some day. "Now to your mask. She grabbed our mask. Amy's was black and had golden glitter around the trim, Nancy a gold one with black feathers, and mine a white one with gold sparkles and black feathers.

"Thank you." I said, Nancy shrugged. "No biggie I mean you need to represent us right." Said Nancy I rolled my eyes. Yeah right. In your dreams. I said to myself.
