Chapter 3 Costumes, mask and deceiving part 1

Jerome

When we finished dinner Amber called every one of us into a meeting "Now is everyone here?"

"No Mara isn't down yet." Said Nina cuddled up Rutter

"Sorry were late." Said Patricia walking down the stairs then a girl with too much black makeup painted on her face.

"Mara?" questioned Mick as he stood up rubbing his head probably trying to make since of what happen.

"Yeah?" huffed Mara

"What happen to you?" Asked Mick trying to grab Mara by the arm.

"What does it look like" said Mara sitting down.

"Oookay as I was saying." Said Amber flipping her bronze blond hair behind her back. "So we all know that the traditional masquerade ball is this Friday right?"

"Yeah." Said Patricia

"Well I was thinking that this year House of Anubis could host the part this year." Said Amber

"That's actual a great idea Amber." Said Nina pushing her long brown hair behind her tanned shoulder.

"Now that we have that settled I need Joy and Patricia to send out invitations." Said Amber

"Fabian, Eddie and Mick will set up the equipment for the ball. Nina and Jerome help set up decorations and pick the music Mara and Troian get the food and drinks after that you guys will help set up decorations too. Finally Alfie and I will supervise."

"I wasted 30 minutes of my life for this!" hissed Mara "30 minutes of my life I'll never get that back!"

With that she stomped her way back up the stairs and slammed the door to her room so hard China and Japan got an earth quake over there.

"What was that all about? "Asked Amber completely puzzled about Mara's outburst.

Patricia

Every day Amber had me and Joy hand out invitations to people for about a week if it wasn't for the fact party was next Friday I wouldn't be helping right now.

"Do you think there's something wrong with me?" I asked Joy

"No why?"

"Well I've been dropping hint for Jerome to ask me but he doesn't seem to pick them up."

"Why don't I give you a makeover?" Said Joy trying to cheer me up "There would be no way he could keep his hands off you!"

"Thanks Joy but if Jerome doesn't ask me we could go together." I suggested

"Well I have a date to the dance." said a very confident Joy

"Who?"

"Fabian." She said lifting her nose up like a snotty rich kid.

"Fabian? Nina's Fabian!" I said jokingly" Did you fall and hit your head on a rock when I wasn't looking."

"No not Nina's Fabian but my Fabian."

"What are you talking about?" I asked since I was seriously confused.

"Fabian hasn't been Nina's since I came back." Joy stated "We've been seeing each for over a month."

"Joy!" I said "If that was you –." I started

"Patricia me and Fabian were perfect together and now she's come and ruined everything!" hissed Joy

"Nina's my friend and I think-." I got cut off again.

"But I'm your best friend!" screamed Joy "but until you get you priorities straight let me know." Then Joy walked off heading for the house

Joy

How could Patricia do this! We're best friends and now because of Nina Patricia is now questioning her loyalties. All my friends betrayed me becoming friends with that loser of an American Nina. But now Nina is going to get what's coming to her even if she deserves it or not.

"Joy?" said Patricia looking in the quite room.

"What wouldn't you rather be hanging with your new BFF?" sneered Joy

"New BFF?" question Patricia

"Nina." Replied Joy

"Joy I'm sorry." Cried Patricia "You're my best friend and I should have been so quick to judge you."
