Later that evening…
I looked down at the costume I had picked out at the store for the masquerade tomorrow night, and I winced. It was soooo not me, but Lettie and Sadie both had convinced me to buy it and who was I to argue. I was a rock and roll kind of girl—the kind that would look much better as a Goth princess or even a character from 'Grease'—not as something from a major Broadway production.
"It's perfect." Lettie stated determinedly as I just shrugged. "We can put your hair up in ringlets, and you can wear a sequined mask that will cover up everything but your mouth. It's perfect." Lettie declared again as I just perused the two other women warily.
"Fine, but what are you going as?" I asked suspiciously. Both Lettie and Sadie grinned wickedly.
"Now now, we can't tell you that. You're just going to have to wait until the unveiling." Lettie remarked as I scowled at her. That was utterly not fair. I sat on the bed wearily staring at the beautiful dress that Christina wears in the Phantom of the Opera and I sighed again.
"Maybe people won't ask me to sing." I said on a chuckle as Sadie grinned.
Lettie…
Lettie stepped out of Jude's room with a smile on her face before heading down the hall to an entirely different room. It killed her how absolutely ingenious she could be at times—yep, just perfect. Stopping at the entrance of the other room, she looked around her carefully before turning the knob and stepping in…
Tommy…
"So, what do you of the costume I picked out for you?" Lettie asked Tom casually as Tommy just threw her a look. He really couldn't stand the idea of even participating in the event, but at this point, he couldn't think of a way out of it either.
"Couldn't you have gotten me something from Grease or something that would allow me to wear a leather jacket?" Tommy asked as Lettie rolled her eyes.
"Oh, yeah. It's not like people would immediately know it's you in that kind of costume. Come on, at least pretend you're interested. Everyone deserves a good time, especially Jude after what you did to her." Lettie stated coldly as Tommy opened his mouth to argue only to close it again. She was right. There was no point defending himself.
"This is just not me." Tommy stated with a shrug as he ran his fingers over the dark material. Lettie just laughed.
"Oh, yeah like the Phantom wasn't dark, angry, and a total jackass. Yep, it's the perfect outfit for you, and I even got you some contacts to change the color of your eyes. Enjoy." Lettie stated with a wave as she swept out of the room. Tommy didn't even bother trying to call her back as he looked down at the thing. He just wondered what Jude was going as.
