"WHAT!"
I looked up at N in horror, "What are you trying to ask me at a time like this?" I felt like I should have punched him for even daring to try to ask me this after all the sorrow and grief I had been experiencing for the past week. N waved his hands while they trembled, and blushed a deep red, "N-No! That isn't exactly what I meant!" The dark trinity member wandered around my room not having a care in the world, while looking at my stuff. What a pervert! I could have socked him in the face too! This was happening far too soon for me to take into at once. First Black leaving and then N asking me out? What. That's when I realized I wasn't exactly paying attention, then I flashed my vision back onto the blushing and shaky N. "All I-I'm asking is if you could pretend for a small party the members of Team Plasma are holding for me..."
...
Pretend? My shoulders drooped down slowly when I heard these words. "R-Right, I knew that." Looking down at my bed sheets I thought it over carefully, "Won't your dad be there? And won't the plasma grunts question me as an.. g-gi..er-acquaintance? I mean we were sort of, y'know..against each other." When I returned my gaze back at him, I saw his eyes turn blank. Like the sort of eyes you would see on a dead zombie. They looked, cold. "Why don't you remember? He got sent to jail after defeating him." It stunned me how blunt and straightforward he was. Caught in the moment, he grabbed my wrists and made me stare into his eyes. No, this wasn't all cute and nice though. It was forceful and out of nowhere, my arms were strained in the tight grasp that he held onto in the scariest manner. "Now you listen to me, White. You won't ever understand how bad I am hurt inside with the deepest scratches and scars emotionally. Don't try to understand, because you won't no matter how hard you try. Now, I won't try to reason you with the decision, but remember this. If you can't even do the smallest of favors to a guy who has went through the unimaginable, then I have no words to say to you." He got up, and rejoiced with the dark trinity member on his other side. N walked to the doorway, but stopped once he got there. He used his finger nails to claw his left arm, which left dark red marks in its place. The member of the dark trinity looked over his shoulder right at me. By squinting hard, I saw that he had red eyes the shade of crimson. When he noticed I was staring he quickly turned away, and with that, they both left. Sitting there helplessly to try to understand, I pulled myself together. One minute he was like a timid school girl, the next he was like a ruthless criminal. My heart told me that was his way of grieving with me, but my head told me otherwise. To the best of my strength, I convinced myself that his behavior was Ghetsis's doing. "I'll do it for you, N. I won't back down. I promise." I whispered to myself while putting my fist up to my chest.
I had to make a phone call.
While I reached over to my desk to grab my phone, I heard something knock over and make a slight clang on my carpet floor. I knelt down to pick up whatever had fallen and put it back in it's proper place, and not to gather dust by sitting there. Staring at the large object, I held it in my hand as carefully as I could. "Why Black, why would you do this?" I thought to myself. Tears swelled up on my cheeks as I nearly threw the object on the desk. Shaking my head, tears flew to the side in midair, "WHY BLACK? I relied on you! I depended on you!" While I pushed my head onto the top of my knees, I trembled and screamed. "YOU BROKE OUR PROMISE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" My large intakes of gasps could be heard easily as I shouted at no one but myself. The desperate tears slid down my cheeks fast while new ones started to gather near the top of my eyelids. My lips quivered and I tugged on my hair in result of being frustrated. Of course Black wasn't there, but there was only an echo. "I don't want to be left alone again... Please someone help me.."- After about an hour, I wasn't able to cry anymore. It seemed as if all my tears were all dried up. My eyes still are stinging and were are from the outbreak of crying. The same with my nose. At least my voice didn't sound as hoarse as it did earlier, which I was grateful for. Now, to make that call. Brrrng. Brrrng. The phone picked up. "Hello?" "Hello, Concordia, it's me. " "Pardon?" "Let me clarify that, it's White." There was a silence on the other line, for a second I almost thought that she hung up. After a long silence I heard a quiet sigh. "May I ask how you got my number, Miss White?" "...Internet does wonders." "What do you need," she groaned slightly, trying not to break her polite attitude. "Well, as you probably know, N has asked me to go with him to pretend to be his girlfriend at some plasma party." "HE WHA-"I mean I see. I'm afraid I h-haven't heard that news though.""..yeah, I was wondering if you could help me pick out a dress because I don't think I will have the righ-" "Of course," Concordia spoke up, interrupting me like it was her duty. "As representing Master N you don't want to people to reflect upon your foolish mistakes now do you? I shall see to it right away that we find you a perfect dress." Click. With those being her last words, she hung up.
Nice way of putting it Concordia..
The next hour I found myself answering the door to see nothing there but a large box on my doorstep. It was elegantly wrapped with a beautiful silk ribbon and a leathery surface for the box. The pattern was floral and in the color of blue. Carefully pulling the ribbon, I sat on my porch bench and took the top of the box off. The dress was swayed and ruffled at the bottom, strapless, and a light blue ribbon that matched Team Plasma's outfit perfectly. In the middle of the dress and the ribbon there was a small diamond in rhombus form. Where the diamond was, there was small silver gems making a form of an upside down v connecting to the diamond. The dress quality was made of the finest silk one could imagine and the soft feeling was left in your hand. Out of all the dresses in the world they had to choose this one? It was over elegant and just shouted, "I am a princess now bow down to me". Of course because of Concordia buying it, it would only suit..well, Concordia and Anthea. It would have to do, I wasn't going to let N down.
(The next day)
Click. Click. Click. Swiftly, I ran down the stairs hopping on one foot and adjusting my light blue heel on the other. The sound of my bangles clanged and made loud noises while making sure my shoe was on all the way. The dress fitted me perfectly, so perfect that it would make you suspicious why it was so perfect. My hair was worn down in small curls and an attached ribbon in the back. I had small grey pearl studs as earrings. All thanks to Concordia of course, I was dressed up in an outfit that was obviously the colors of the Team Plasma. You know, I probably even looked like a more formal dressed Plasma mascot right there, but at least it looked nice... Not from my point of view, but hopefully for someone else. Everything was planned out according to Anthea, a limo would be coming,Shocker, and N would arrive at my door and escort me to the limo, then the party. Swerving my head in an panic, I looked at the clock at the wall. 7:45, it said on the clock. Great. N would be here any second and I wasn't even I was just overreacting but still, you would want to do your best to if an boy basically threatened you to go with him somewhere. Ding Dong WHY, I thought to myself, was he answering to my worried thoughts and making them come true? Oh boy, this will be fun, I thought before twisting the knob and unlocking the door. When I answered the door-with an expression probably no one would be able to comprehend-N was bent over bowing so low his face could have touched his knees. His right arm was placed over his chest and his left stood stiffly at his side. Analyzing him carefully, I scanned him from head to toe. N wore a normal black suit with an tie striped with blue and black, which made his outfit look so much more glamorous and beautiful with it. While I rose one eyebrow questioning his plain outfit, I shook my head and let it go. Of course it was beautiful but knowing N, he would have went far out into his outfit. Looking up at me, a stunning smile that nearly made my heart melt. "Hi White," N whispered to me sweetly. A dark red blush couldn't help but creep up on my cheeks and that just made him smile even more bigger. My heart raced fast, and I thought it was about to pound out of my chest. While I stood there awkwardly with the tension now rising from no response, he looked up at me. When our eyes locked I couldn't help but jump. He held out his hand and I hesitantly placed mine in his. I swear, I felt like there was lumps in my throat overtime I would try to swallow. But I couldn't help but feel uneasy when around him, but why? "I've been trying for so long to show you my true feelings but they always are SHOVED away by him!
The quote played back in my head and I froze in my place. Was my self conscious trying to tell me something? In order to put myself back into reality, I had to blink a couple of times. N was still staring at my face, studying it or something. Light breezes of wind came across us after a few minutes of quietness. "Well we should get going now.." N murmured with a hush of hidden meanings inside his talking. Walking towards the Limo, he took my hand and lead the way. The same Pervert dark trinity member was the one driving. Though, there was a slight difference in his dressing. He was wearing a suit as well with a plain red tie. Red… he sure did have a liking to that color. Not paying anymore attention to him, I climbed in and sat down right next to N. "What's the matter, you've gotten quiet all of the sudden.. Did I do something wrong?" "No, it wasn't you.." Yes it is, it's your fault that I couldn't run after Black and stop him. I put both of my palms on my face just in case I started to cry again. "You're lying." He said solemnly and pulled my hands away from my face. "I'm going to make it up to you. I promise." Great more promises, what WOULDN'T remind me of Black? "White, you look beautiful. I can't believe I hadn't noticed until right now. You're always beautiful, but tonight, you're more than words can describe. " I could see the 'driver' starting to frown when he looked at the rear view mirror and the doors automatically shut. Tilting my head back, I stared at N with my glossy eyes. No words were spoken, just silence, but N decided to continue. "You're stunning, you're gorgeous, anything I'd wish for my princess to be is what you are." Don't come any further, I thought to myself as we are already really close as it is. N started to move forward coming closer and closer.. No. Please stay away N.. I can't handle this. I scooted myself so back that the door swung open and the car alarm went off. N's eyes opened in alert and I sighed in relief. "Sorry." I spoke quietly. "Nice timing," spoke The Dark Trinity member. "We have just arrived to our acquired destination." Nearly jumping out of the Limo, I almost tripped over one of my heels, but soon placed my feet on the ground stiffly. N, being N, elegantly swayed out of the limo making an extravagant entrance. He extended his left hand, motioning me to do the same with my right. He then locked his arm with mine, "If we want to make this look believable, then we have to be in proper positions." The estate was huge and decorative, just from the outside itself. The door opened and we stepped inside. What had I just witnessed. This... This looked like prom. "N. What exactly kind of party is this supposed to be?" I said gapping to him quietly before we could get noticed by the large gatherings of Plasma Members. N simply looked the other and- "Prince N and his Girfriend Miss White have arrived to the premises! Please greet them warmly and make way for them as they reach the dance floor!" Cheers and Hollers were heard throughout the room as Anthea had put the microphone down and pranced to the drinking stand. Concordia made her way towards us and avoided contact with me, "Master N you look fabulous tonight. I didn't actually think you would have been able to get Miss White to acquaintance you this evening." Blankly still attached to N, I stood there out of place while being forced to listen to their conversation. "Thank you Concordia. Why wouldn't White come with me?" Concordia nodded and walked back to go see Anthea, who was now on the stage holding the mic again. "N." I screeched under my teeth a bit annoyed now. "What IS this?" Being interrupted once again, Anthea started to speak. "Everyone, May I have your attention once more. We will now start the dance sequences especially dedicated to our guests of Honor, Miss Whitr and Master N. Please step out of the way while they take their first dance together, by themselves. Feel free to bring you attention to them." Hearing this I swerved my head to face him, "ARE. YOU. SERIOUS? I don't know how to dance N! I thought I just had to show up not dance in front of HUNDREDS of Team Plasma Members AND The Dark Trinity!" N blushed as if he had known something about the dancing that I didn't but then whispered to me without even looking at me. "I'll lead, don't worry about it. Just look like you're having fun and be cooperative, that's all." With a deep intake of breath I put my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my hips. In a slight reaction I let out a sudden yelp. To my expectations, I thought there would be classical music. Nope, it was pretty normal ones well at least the ones before our actual song. The beat started off nice and upbeat then it slowed down and started to get all sweet and sugary. N somehow knew at that time it was our cue to start dancing and nearly tripped over my feet for not knowing. "You love me no longer I know..-" I closed my eyes and put on my best fake smile while twirling in his arms. "N? Who picked out the music?.." I spoke extra sweetly so he could get the hint. "Err.. you don't want to know.." Averting all my attention on N was hard, I kept getting distracted by the music and watching the crowd of people watching us. The music choice was so cheesy I couldn't help while turn a noticeable bright pink while dancing with N. I felt warm, and happy though dancing with N at this moment. My fake smiles became real and I danced as nicely as I could to put up a good performance for the avidly watching crowd. N lifted his arm and twirled me, and I ended up landing in N's arms. Now my back was to his body and he grabbed my hands swaying me from side to side. It was actually...really nice, I have to admit. Due to not paying attention, he crouched down on his knee and picked me up wedding style. Just the thought of the form of they way he picked me up and carried me made my heart pulse a thousand and one miles. He did great improvisation when I messed up, which probably wasn't even recognized in our dance. The members of team plasma smiled happy as our song and dance came to an close and clapped loudly which echoed through the large room. The two of us smiled in delight as everyone enjoyed our on the spot performance. After about seven more long and cheesy songs, we were done for the night. me to my house and walked me to my doorstep. Nervously, he scratched his arm and looked the other way. "B-Bye White. I had a lot of fun tonight." "M-Me too N... Thanks for taking me.." Surprisingly, N revealed his team plasma necklace and placed it around my neck. Not even given the time to respond or react, He was already heading to the Limo scratching his hair while walking strangely. I touched the necklace and smiled. "Thanks N."
