Bliss's POV
I put my tray down next to Schuyler, sighing. I was so tired of all of Mimi's annoying parties. And this one had to be a ball!
"Why does Mimi have to have another Ball?" I asked Schuyler, who was taking a small sip of her Sprite. She didn't really like to eat much.
"She says it's for the first week of school, but the Council is behind it. It's a ball for the new Freshman who are Blue Bloods to get used to the way things flow," Schuyler said, taking another small swig of her pop. I rolled my eyes.
"And by inviting them to a huge ball slash party is going to help them get used to the flow?" I asked, still kind of annoyed by that weird fact.
"Well, that is the way it works around here. By the way, can I borrow as dress for the party? I think Mimi would notice if I stole one from her, and she would laugh if I asked to go shopping with her," Schuyler said jokingly. I rolled my eyes and took her arm.
"No, you may not borrow one! You're coming shopping with me! I'll be you the prettiest thing in the room even," I said, laughing. Over the summer we had promised to be best friends. Schuyler had been so sad about the absence of Oliver that I had decided to step in and cheer her up. So ever since then we have been best friends. So now I had to buy her a dress. It was a given.
"Bliss, please. It's not like you're my mother," She commented, twirling the straw around in her drink. I shrugged.
"Well your mother is in a self-induced coma, your father is a dead Red Blood, and your grandmother's cycle ended in an untimely place. It is my duty to give you a dress," I continued, making Schuyler look a little angry with me. But I shrugged this off. Mimi's father would probably force Schuyler to go shopping with Mimi, which would make Schuyler's head exploded, which would ruin all the pretty dresses and make Mimi even eviler. I was doing them a favor.
"Fine. But since you're making me go shopping, you have to tell me what's up with Dylan," Schuyler said, her smile twisting into an evil grin. I narrowed my eyes.
"You really are related to Mimi," I said, and she did a fake bow. "Fine. We're taking a break." Schuyler gave me a weird look.
"You mean the guy who was head over heels for-and vice versa-has decided to take a break with you?" She asked, still slightly shocked. I sighed and shrugged.
"I want Dylan as much as he wants me. But he had to leave also. It seems that the boys around here are dropping like flies," I commented. Schuyler turned her head to the side.
"You never told me Dylan left!" She said, still shocked.
"It was only a few weeks ago. And he kind of disappeared just like Oliver," I continued and shrugged. Then I gasped. "Ohmygod! Mimi might make the ball into a masquerade!" I exclaimed, and scrunched my eyes together. Schuyler banged her head against the table.
"What did you see?" Schuyler asked, referring to my siight. Lately I'd adapted an old Blue Blood skill by honing my abilities. It had taken a total of three weeks of just meditating and focusing. I was even surprised about it.
I shook my head. "I saw us wearing masks…but no ball gowns," I sighed, and Schuyler lifted her head.
"That must mean it won't happen for a while!" She said, and then happily slurped down the rest of her drink. But I though about it; I had never seen more than a week into the future and obviously there wouldn't be another party for at least two months. But why weren't we formal at all? It looked like we were just wearing masks and jeans.
"I don't know Schuyler…I don't know."
