Chapter 10-
Rochie lay in her bed with her iPOD, which she managed to get working after a month and a half trying. She had the curtains drawn and was staring at the ceiling her feet bobbing up and down to Zangai by BUCK-TICK. She thought, perhaps Mona Lisa Overdrive would make her feel better. She had been wrong. Normally it worked, but this isn't her normal depression. She was disappointed. She didn't have trouble getting dates, nor had she ever. But she really wanted to show up with Atsushi as her date, not Kyo. I guess some dreams just couldn't be fulfilled. She would just go through the motions, and make sure Cassie enjoyed herself. She was not going to ruin her and Luna's first date just because she's was a spoiled brat that was used to getting everything she wanted. And right on cue, Cassie walked in "Rochie?" she called tentatively
"Eh" Rochie said in response closing her eyes and turning the volume down on her iPOD but not turning it off. She heard her bed hangings open.
"You okay?"
"Yeah." She said and started to sing the lyrics to Check Up 'How are you lesson one easy game!"
"Rochie? We've got about a half an hour before we have to leave. Will you please get up and get ready? Kyo's probably waiting for you already."
Rochie turned off her iPOD and got up. "Yeah. I suppose."
Perhaps, Rochie thought, she could smuggle Atsushi for herself…somehow.
Cassie had already gone down by the time Rochie was finally finished. She wasn't late, but she wasn't ontime either. She was wearing a bloodred set of dress robes, had dyed her hair black for the time, made her skin a shade paler than she normally was and was wearing dark makeup. Even she had to admit, she looked good.
She walked down the stairs and met Cassie in the Common Room. Cassie looked wonderful. She had straightened her hair, and put something in it to make it beautiful and shiny, she was wearing a dark blue set of dress robes that matched her eyes wonderfully. She looked like she had grown up about 4 years in the space of an hour. Luna was wearing her hair half up half down with pink ribbons coming from it, she was wearing a many layered set of dress robes each layer a different colour. One was pale pink, another blue, another purple. Rochie couldn't say she'd ever wear it, but it looked wonderful on Luna. Rochie put on her best smile. She hoped it would fool Cassie.
"Ready?" She asked them. They looked so excited. Rochie just wished she felt the same
"Oh, yes!" they both said. Rochie smiled again and led the way to the great hall. They were all being let in, and Kyo was waiting for Rochie at the bottom of the staircase. He stared at her, momentarily forgetting his persona, and stared at her. Rochie felt herself blush, but thankfully, her dress made the colour in her cheeks go unnoticed. Or so she hoped.
Kyo was wearing black pants made of some silky material that flowed over his shoes, which were black and buckled. He wore a maroon shirt, and his hair, which was black, was straightened and hanging in his face, covering one eye. The other eye had heavy eyeliner on it. Rochie had to admit, it was hot. Kyo bowed as Rochelle got down the stairs and grabbed her hand and lightly kissed it, Just a slight brush of lips against the bare skin on the back of her hand. Rochie stepped back from him, her eyes quickly scanning the crowd. She hadn't seen Atsushi or his date, which could either be a good thing or a bad thing. Rochie couldn't tell. Rochie also couldn't tell if Lukas was there. He probably wasn't. He didn't like dances.
