Sorry if its a little rushed I just had to get to the ball scene ASAP enjoy :)

Duncan's POV:

"Uh Geoff I've seen this window before..." I said confused.

"I know but look how-" Geoff started but I interrupted him when I heard people talking down stairs.

"Hey Geoff who's downstairs?" I asked curiously.

"Oh just Bridge..." Geoff said, I could tell he was hiding something.

"Does she always talk to herself?"

"Psssh, oh yeah, she's a little crazy," Geoff said

"Right...so you wouldn't mind if I went downstairs?" I asked suspiciously.

"WAIT, you can't go down there!!!" Geoff yelled.

"Why not?"

"Bridge doesn't like people to know she talks to herself," Geoff said nervously, it sounded believable until I heard a girl yelling downstairs and it most definitely was NOT Bridgette.

"Okay Bridgette almost never yells, who's down there with her?" I asked

"Fine...it's ...Heather! She wants you back!" Geoff yelled while throwing his hands in the air. He was really weird today I wondered if he ate too much sugar this morning...

"Oh crap, that probably is her, she yells a hell of a lot. I don't want to see her! What do I do?" I said starting to panic. Heather was one crazy girl no way was I seeing her again.

"Oh don't worry, take this fire escape ladder and go through the pretty window, oh and Heather will be here for a week so don't bother coming back here."

"Okay great. Wait why is Heather here for a week?" I said because we all hated her so it was weird she was staying.

"She wants you back BAD," Geoff said while pushing me toward the window," Now hurry I think I hear her coming up the stairs,"

"K thanks man I owe you one," I said as I climbed down the ladder, and sprinted to their house, all while only wearing a towel.

General POV:

"Man I am SO good at lying!" Geoff said excitedly as he plopped down in a chair.

Courtney burst into the room, with Bridgette right behind her trying to stop her from coming in. "Bridgette let me in!! Theres someone else in here with Geoff and I wanna know who it is!!!" Courtney yelled.

"No Court, its nobody," Bridgette said while holding Courtney with all of her might.

"Hey Bridge its okay come in!" Geoff yelled from the chair.

Bridgette cautiously walked in and let out a sigh of relief when she saw there was no one there. "Where did he go?" Bridgette whispered.

"I told him Heather was here," Geoff replied.

"Nice! Okay come in Court, see I told you there was no one in here!" Bridgette said excitedly.

Courtney looked defeated but still suspicious, "Well then who was doing all of the yelling?" Courtney said while crossing her arms and tapping her foot expectantly.

"Well Mocha, you know how loud I can be, PARTAY!" Geoff yelled while putting an arm around Courtney.

"Fine...it works...FOR NOW!" Courtney said while storming out of the room.

Bridgette and Geoff high fived each other, "We are sooooo good, okay step one cleared. Step two: to get them to go the masquerade ball. You get Duncan, I've got Courtney"

Duncan's POV:

I was slouched on the couch watching some stupid game show when Geoff sprinted into the room and jumped on me yelling some random things.

I started laughing, "Okay Geoff one thing at a time and stop jumping on me, I'm gonna hurl up my bagels."

"Great news! You, me, Bridge masquerade ball!" Geoff yelled while jumping on the couch...there was seriously something wrong with him...

"No way in hell!" I got up from the couch and started walking away. I was NOT getting in a tux and dancing what fun was that?

"Aw come on it'll be fun! Plus it's not a normal ball we get to wear masks!" Geoff said while chasing after me.

"How is that fun?" I asked while trying to get away from Geoff. I ran in a room and closed the door.

"Okay fine then if you don't want to see a bunch of chicks wearing tight, short dresses that's your loss." Geoff sighed from the other side of the door.

Girls? Well dressing up might not be that bad..."Fine I'll go, when is it?" I sighed in defeat.

"Great! I have a few tuxes in my closet, and its tonight!" Geoff ran around the corner leaving me shocked. Tonight! Short notice much? Oh well maybe Ill find someone to get my mind off of Courtney.

Courtney's POV:

I was unpacking my stuff when Bridgette walked in. She plopped herself on the bed.
"Hey Bridge," I said contently.

"Hey, um there's a masquerade ball going on in town wanna come with me and Geoff?" She said while flipping through a magazine that was on the night stand.

"Ew a masquerade ball? That's only for shallow girls hungry for compliments and attention." I said in disgust.

"Okay Court, I'm not gonna beg I'm just gonna give you one solid reason to go." Bridgette said sternly as she looked me dead in the eye.

"What reason could that possibly be?"

"To find a new guy, Court, you have to get over Duncan." I looked at Bridge a little angry but I knew this was true.

"Fine, when is it?" I sighed

"Its tonight but don't worry I have a dress and everything,"

"Okay well here goes nothing," I shrugged.

Duncan's POV:

I knew I shouldn't have come I was bored. Id been at the ball, dance, prom, whatever for a few hours and sure the girls were hot, but they were all so shallow. None of them even worth a one night fling.

I swished around the punch that was in my cup and was about to beg Geoff to leave but I looked up and saw an angel coming in with Bridgette. I dropped my drink and the punch spilled to the floor. My mouth dropped the moment she graced the room. She was a dove in a flock of crows.

She had beautiful hair like Courtney's but I figured it wasn't her because I've chased after too many brunettes only to find they weren't Princess. She had a beautiful blue strapless dress that definitely fit the theme of masquerade ball, it was sequined at the top and it fit her curves perfectly. Her dress went all the way down to the floor even though I loved to see some leg, the length suited her. She was perfect, but I wish this wasn't a masquerade ball so I could see her face from behind the feathered mask.

I stared for a solid five minutes until I looked at Geoff who gave me a thumbs up. It took me a while but I finally got the guts to walk up to the girl.

Courtney's POV:

The decorations were beautiful, and I felt like a princess. Princess...I hated using that word; it only reminded me of Duncan. And Duncan only brought back feelings of sadness and loneliness, I was just about to tell Bridgette that I suddenly wasn't feeling good but she quickly ran to dance with Geoff.

So I stood alone awkwardly, not sure of what to do. I looked at Bridgette Geoff dancing toether, they were so happy, I wish I had that with Duncan. Well we did have that unitl I decided to leave him. Seeing all of these happy couples made me sad so I was about to leave until a tall handsome guy behind a white mask walk up to me. He had black shaggy hair with little pricks of green at the tips of some of his hair. He reminded me a hell of a lot of Duncan. We looked at each other, and even though he had a mask I could see his piercing teal eyes, that were drawing me into him.

Duncan's POV:

Even though we were wearing masks, I could see her shining onyx eyes that kept me drawn to her. I took her hand gently and with all of the courage in me asked, "Would you like to dance?"

whoo so next chappy will be continuation of the ball what will happen to duncan and courtney?
