Music blared from the gym's speakers, every beat almost loud enough to drown out the sounds of teenaged gossip. Casper High has decided to make this year's dance masquerade themed, but if Danny was being honest they hadn't thought it through enough. The music choice was the obvious sign (or maybe Danny just didn't know how masquerades worked. Maybe they did have loud music.)

"Don't you think you're being a little too obvious with who you are?"

Danny turned over to Sam, who had taken to leaning on the table. "What do you mean?"

The goth pointed at his face, eyes narrowing from behind her purple mask. "Your mask. Black, white, and green? Seriously?"

The halfa rolled his eyes. "Nobody is going to connect the dots," he said, brushing his hand against the green feathers attached to the mask's side. "The only person who would make a fuss about it is Wes. And we already know that nobody believes a word he says."

After a moment of thought, Danny scanned the room for the redhead. He soon found Wes across the room from them, eyes narrowed. Danny rested onto the table, gave Wes a smile, and flashed his eyes green. The boy's eyes widened and he looked around, desperately trying to see if anybody else had noticed. A laugh escaped Danny's lips as Wes' shoulders slumped and he walked away.

"Are you ever going to get tired of bothering him?" asked Tucker from the other side of the table.

Danny turned around to face him and let his smile broaden. "You know I'm not."
