TILL THIS NIGHT
_CHAPTER 3_
"Welcome, young sirs, to the Casulent's Costumed Celebration!" said the butler as he held the door for the three newsies. "And by the way, nice costumes." Roberto, Mark, and Ben grinned from ear to ear. Their plan was working! Wait until the guys back at the lodging house heard they crashed a Casulent party.
...........
"Julia, dear, you look absolutely divine! After you've had a look-see in the mirror, why don't you come on downstairs? There's a certain young man your parents would like you to meet," Nurse Appleby said with a grin as she headed out of Julia's bedroom.
Julia stood from her chair and walked over to her full mirror. She was lost in thought as she looked at her beautiful gown. She was going to her costume party as a medieval princess. Julia smiled and smoothed out her dress. This was going to be her best birthday ever!
"And her she is, Paul! Isn't she marvelous?" Mr. Casulent said as his daughter made her way down the stairs and to the center of the ballroom where her parents stood next to a quite attractive young man.
"Hello, fair Julia. I am Paul Corey. It is such a pleasure to finnally meet you. You look absolutely splendid tonight!" Paul said, taking her hand and kissing it. Julia smiled sweetly, then turned to her parents and gave them a death-glare. She gritted her teeth and whispered to her parents.
"I told you not to set me up with anyone, when I want love I'll find it!" Julia then turned back to Paul and smiled again. "Excuse me for leaving you so suddenly, but I'm feeling somewhat faint. I'm going to visit the powder room for a moment." She said, eager to escape her parents and their new- found wedding trap for her. Julia smiled and hurried up the stairs.
...........
Roberto gazed around the grand ballroom. It was amazing in here! Man, this is like living like a king, he thought. But his thinking was cut short when he noticed Tony glaring at him from across the room and heading towards him. Roberto started walking quickly to the other end of the ballroom, standing casually by the punch table, but Tony kept following him. He started heading into the crowd of dancers, and began dancing his way up the steps until he lost all sight of Tony.
