Chapter 12 - Devious Dress Shoppers
"Right" Winnie exclaimed "I've had enough!" we all looked towards her and then back at our food, used to her regular out bursts by now. "Girl's tonight we are going out dress shopping!"
"I'm out!" cried 5 boys, Ash, Morgead, Quinn, Thorn and Chris.
"That's why she said girls" Jez said as if saying 'Duh!'
"Although I can see where you'd get mixed up ladies" Izzy muttered looking pointedly at the boys on the last word, then something struck "girls why dress shopping?"
I didn't feel like eating as I pushed my food around my plate, I never did these days and I knew why. My glaring eyes flicked up to the boy across from me. Thorns eyes flickered to mine before moving swiftly away. It was his fault. Him and his stupid almost dying.
If he hadn't been dying of blood loss then I wouldn't have let him bite me and then we would never have discovered…well…that.
The horrible silver thread that wouldn't let me eat, wouldn't let me sleep, wouldn't let me do anything unless he was near.
"You haven't heard! There's a ball, here, this Saturday. A masquerade ball and I know an amazing little store in town that is absolutely perfect." she smiled angelically which immediately made me suspicious, I smiled back somewhat unwillingly.
Then I felt his eyes on me and that annoying bit of silver gave a tug and I stood suddenly fighting all the while. Nine pairs of eyes turned on me.
"I just need to get some air" my voice came out strained.
"You want me to come with babe?" Chris looked concerned.
"No!" I practically shouted at the poor boy, I tried to laugh the fact I had shouted that to the whole school "I'm just a little stressed at the moment" my eyes unwillingly flicked to Thorn "I just need to be by myself for a little bit" I leaned down and kissed him on the cheek but at the last moment he turned his head and caught my lips.
I blushed as I straightened and caught the face that Thorns eyes were burning with anger before he managed to slip his nonchalant mask back in to place. I turned to the girls.
"What time?"
"My car, after school" I nodded walking away but not before I heard Ash say,
"What about us? How are we going to get home?"
"You're going to use those two amazing things called legs and walk!" the table behind me laughed but only one of them sounded half hearted. I could feel that guy's eyes on my back as I walked away.
She could feel it, I knew she could, it was clear in every glare that she threw my way. I knew it was pulling at her heart just as it was pulling at mine. I also knew that she was fighting it every single step of the way, but everyday she got more and more tired so that soon she wouldn't have the power to fight it, he knew that everyday it became harder to over come.
She was losing. Slowly but surely.
I was torn somewhere between joy and sadness.
I was very happy that I knew she would eventually give in and accept that we were in fact made for each other. That we were meant to be.
But very said that this was causing her so much pain. She knew that the sooner she gave in the sooner she would stop hurting.
"Thorn this is perfect mate!" Ash whispered excitedly in I.T. I looked at my computer screen…there was nothing there.
"It is…? I whispered back.
"Yea!" Ash whispered shouted.
"How?"
"Because you can be her masked hero! You can woo her and she wont know it's you! Then when you reveal your identity at midnight she will accept that you two are soulmates and then we can finish this mission and the mansion may finally be quiet!"
"How would that work? She can sense when I'm near"
"So close it! Don't worry mate, I'll get you two together eventually. I got you in to this mess so I have to get you out of it again"
"Little store!" I exclaimed looking over the rows and rows of dresses.
"You're the only one left without a dress Izzy c'mon" Rashel moaned.
"Alright, alright lets get this over with" I sighed and let them drag me away.
"Okay ladies" Winnie "you know the drill. Split up. We are looking for the perfect dress for this lovely girl here." she briefly indicated me. "GO! GO! GO!" they scattered.
10 minutes later.
"FOUND IT!" came the call.
2 minutes later.
'awww's' and 'yes this is the one' could be heard from the dressing rooms as I tried my dress on. Surprisingly enough I was happy.
"They just keep falling for it master" a boy and a girl laughed evilly.
Please Review!!!!!!!
