Zero POV
It was just a normal day in Pinkerton and everyone was just chatting and waiting for Mr Soper, the coolest teacher ever. I looked around the classroom and noticed Trixie raise her pen to her mouth. And soon enough her voice came crackling through my headphones. "Where is Mr Soper? He is never late for class" Trixie said with noted worry. "I'm sure he just noticed an exotic butterfly and is trying to catch it." Vin replied. Newton giggled. "Nope. He has been transformed into cupid!" he said in a state of giggles. I looked at the door and my mouth was in a 0 shape.
Mr Soper was wearing a white towel thing with fake feather wings on his back and a bow and arrow with hearts all over it. Then it dawned on me. The most awful day of the year was coming up. The day I have dreaded since I arrived at Pinkerton. Valentine's Day
Mr Soper walked in and smiled at his class. "Good morning kids! Now, as you know Valentine's Day is coming up and I thought that you all have worked hard this term, so Pinkerton is having a dance!" I couldn't believe my ears. A dance? Why a dance? I guess I was the only person that wasn't into it. Kathy and Bertha were chatting, van was flicking her back telling anyone who would listen that to her, vin looked ecstatic and even Trixie looked happy.
As the lesson proceeded, I couldn't get the dance out of my mind. Finally, the bell went and we all went outside. My friends were already at the bars. I joined them and swung upside down on the high bar. Trixie was talking about the dance, I could tell everyone was. The girls huddled in groups gossiping and giggling while looking at the boys across who were trying to act cool. I rolled my eyes. Why was everyone obsessed with the dance? I suddenly felt 3 pairs of eyes on me and that was when I realised Trixie has asked me a question. "Repeat?" I asked. Trixie sighed and said to me "I said, are you excited about the dance.?" I look at her and shrug my shoulders as I swing myself off the bar. "Not really. I'm just going there for the music." I added and the others looked a bit putout. " It's meant to be a time to have fun Zero! Lighten up! You could even meet your prince charming!" newton said with a cheeky grin. Vin just laughed and I gave them the death squint until they stopped.
I walked towards the dormitories, and then I stopped when I realised I wasn't alone. Trixie must have run after me because here she was beside me out of breath. "You know, the dance could be fun," she said after she caught her breath. "You would love it!" I look at her and scowl. As I reached my room I turned and said, "I'm not going and that's final" before slamming the door in her face.
Trixie POV
I sigh and turn to my room which is just opposite Zero's. I think about Zero at the dance. I see lights flashing and a beautiful girl with silver hair in a dress, laughing with her friends. It seemed like a good picture. I then have an idea. Zero doesn't have to go to the dance as Zero! She can go as a mystery girl!
We just need the right mask, Trixie thought smiling to herself.
