This will be centered around Kartik and Gemma...Kartik isn't in this chapter but trust me he will be in the next one. Enjoy!!!!
"This is perfect! You will look fantastic!" She says happily. "Now get dressed. I have a green mask, I believe." Her gaze drifts over to Ann. "What are you going to wear?"
Ann looks down at the floor clearing uncomfortable under Felicity's sharp glare. "I'm not going. I'm sure everyone know about how I lied to Tom."
Felicity scoffs, "Ann, it's a masquerade party. No one will recognize you. Why don't either of you want to go? It would be fun! Or do you both forget the meaning of fun."
"Fine." I saw annoyed by Felicity's rambling. I snatch the dress out of her hands. I slip out of my school dress. "Ann, could you assist me with this corset?" Someone pulls back on the laces my corset, but I can tell it's not Ann. She is much gentler. "I can't breath!" I say in a panicked whisper.
"You'll get use to it. You want to be asked to dance don't you?" Felicity snaps. I pull back out of her grasp and loosen the laces.
I turn to Ann and say, "Ann, could you please help me?" She nods and gets up. She delicately tightens my corset.
"Here." Felicity says and thrusts a silver dress at Ann. Ann slowly touches the smooth silk of the dress.
"It would never fit." She says sadly.
Felicity rolls her eyes. "Of course it will. My mother sent it to me, but got the size wrong."
Ann takes the dress and smiles. Black lace decorates the hem. "Oh Felicity, it's lovely!"
For the first time in a long time I watch a genuine smile appear on Ann's face.
Felicity leaves to change into her dress. I turn to Ann who is wear the silver gown.
"Oh my." I hear her mumble. The dress makes her look slender, which I'm sure Ann is thrilled about. However, it's very...revealing. The dress is extremely low cut.
Felicity barges in wearing a red dress. I gasp when I see her. She is wearing a red and black mask that covers her eyes with a red feather in her hair. "How do I look?" she asks spinning around
"Fantastic!" I saw excitedly. I may actually have a good time tonight. She grins and hands me a shear green mask that matches my dress. I look at Ann and she is slipping on a silk silver mast with beads on it.
Felicity pulls my hair out of the bun I had it in. "Ow!"
"Hush up." She says and pulls half of my curly hair up. She pins it back with a diamond comb. I smile as I look at my reflection.
"Shall we go?" Felicity asks. Ann and I rush to the door, suddenly more excited then we were earlier.
We walk down the hall ways and I hear two girls whispering. "I'm telling you, Cecily, I saw an Indian boy in Gemma Doyle's room during classes."
"Really?" Cecily says excitedly. "What a scandal. Perhaps that is why she turned down Mr. Middleton." she says with a laugh.
