Just a quick little note for all of you looking forward to book 2, it might take a while because I'll probably write it down in a notebook first. :0
I walked closely beside Masky as we entered the building. He wore a tuxedo and no mask while I wore a silky dark green wrap dress. The clothes we wore came from a backpack I had failed to notice Masky carrying, right now it was tucked away in between two branches of a tree back in the woods. Masky says the dress is Ben's and that somebody gave it to him as a joke and that the tuxedo is from when he and Hoodie decided that they should be sophisticated proxies for a day.
The whole plan of now was this: Masky and I were to pretend to be a normal couple at a school party trying to meet new people, I was to call him by his real name and somehow in the end we were to lure some others into the forest so Masky could mess with them. Easy, right?
We entered a room in the school that must have been the gymnasium but as of now it was being used as a dance floor. The room had tons of people either hanging out casually or dancing. Music was blaring from two big speakers and there were a lot of flashy lights. I pushed myself even closer to Timothy [Masky's real name is Timothy] and he wrapped his arm around me. This was quite a bit for me, I've never been to a party, dance or any other social gathering before, and I never had a reason to go. As I walked timidly beside Timothy he moved with ease through the crowd. He didn't seem to notice all the people of course he didn't, who knows how many times he's done this.
"Hey I'm Timothy and this is my girlfriend Amity." He said to a couple.
"Hi, I'm Jamie." Replied a tall girl with her brown hair in a bun wearing a blue gown.
"And I'm Eric." The boy beside her greeted. He wore the same tuxedo as Timothy did but had a light blue duck tape flower in his pocket. "I've never seen you around before." Eric noted.
I shrugged and Timothy said we went to a different school but he lived nearby.
"What school, maybe I know it." Jaime asked.
"Ellen." Timothy answered.
"Ellen? I've never heard of it." Eric said.
"It's an o-old school, m-most people d-don't even know th-that it exists." I stuttered.
"Oh my god! You stutter. I've always wanted to meet somebody that stutters!"
I covered my ears a bit and shuffled beside Timothy, that was too loud. I saw Eric face palm himself and heard Timothy mutter about how she would love Hoodie. Jaime began asking me a thousand stupid questions like if I was ever teased, did it sound weird to me when other people spoke if they didn't stutter and if I knew what caused me to stutter. I didn't answer a single one of them because Timothy distracted her with another conversation which made me happy. One of her questions had made me feel uneasy, the last one. Do I know what caused me to stutter? Yes, I actually do. The first time I stuttered was when my parents broke up but it wasn't a constant stutter, it was just every now and then, nothing noticeable. Then when Leon died it got worse and finally when I pushed everybody around me away the stuttering became the first thing people noticed about me when I spoke.
"Oh hey look Jaime she has gray eyes to." Eric pointed out.
"Wow, do you know anybody with tawny colored eyes?!" Jaime asked.
"N-no, I d-don't know anyone w-with t-tawny eyes."
"Either way you are like my soul mate." She declared.
I didn't know how to reply. I'm not against gay or lesbian people but I had gathered that Eric was her boyfriend. What should I say? Jaime burst out laughing all of the sudden and I just felt so confused, what did I miss? I could hear Timothy trying not to laugh and even Eric was giggling a bit. What was going on, what did I miss?
"I was just joking!" Jaime giggled. "You're so cute."
I shuffled my feet a bit as I felt my face grow warm. Am I really that disconnected from people that I don't know when they're joking? And why did she call me cute, what did I do to make her think I was cute?
"I think we'll go dance." Timothy said as a different song came on. "Maybe we'll see you two around."
"Bye see you later." Jaime beamed as Timothy pulled me away.
Okay so that seems like a good way to end it, I WANT TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS THEY FEED ME! Please?
