Chapter 5: Masquerade

We arrived at the mansion and Anna's mom, who was an extremely rich, extremely popular designer had decorated the whole place, really taking it to the next level.

The twisting staircase that lead to the three levels of the house, and the attic was completely re-finished. The railing a sparkling light gold, Anna's Mother, Micheline had covered the stairs with a long chocolate brown carpet. The hallway into the ballroom had a red carpet and there were photographers coming to take pictures of everyone. The walls were covered with sheer shimmering different coloured lace and billows of colourful silk hung from the roof to the ground. We walked into the ballroom and it was done even more extravagantly. The walls had the same sheer lace was the only colours were black and dark red. They covered the windows where light was still peeking over the mountains. The floor was laid with fake removable tile and there were long dark couches along the walls. There was still a half an hour till the party started but we wanted to get here early so we could check the place out. Anna wasn't arriving until the party started because she had been here the past three weeks with her mom. We wandered into the kitchen and there stood two humongous cakes. Well one wasn't really a cake, it had three layers, but it wasn't cake. It was every flavour of cupcakes you could think of, daintily stacked on top of each other, with different coloured icing, there were small fake EDIBLE flowers filled the gaps between the cakes. The second cake was three layers also, all different colours and patterns: blue and yellow stripes, red and orange diamonds, blue and robin egg blue triangles. The different were slanted and looked like they were going to slide off each other, there were white pearls of icing all the cake and little white lights sprung out around the top of the cake and more edible flowers on top of the cake.

(A/N yumm . )

It was so Anna. I sighed, I couldn't wait to see her tonight. She was going to freak. We girls returned to the walked into the dining hall where a band was warming up in the corner and there were dim lights and tables and chairs where everyone to eat. At the top of the room was a long table where Royalty was sitting, as in just us girls. Everyone was having dinner and then partying afterwards. We returned to the ballroom, where the DJ was now setting up. Micheline strutted into the room, barking into her Blackberry Storm.

"Hey! Mrs. D!" I called waving her over, the other girls had gone to talk over to the DJ asking about music.

"Oh, Serena, darling, how are you. You look beautiful. Just beautiful!" She spun me around and nodded her head on satisfaction. "And place call me Misha" She smiled.

"How's Anna?" I grinned as she pulled me to sit down on a plush couch.

"Annalynn, is great, she's at a salon in Whistler, getting her hair and make done then but she's been at the Spa all day, she will be getting here soon though. Her dress is fabulous, I found it in France when I was there in March, I knew it was perfect. Just perfect." I heard this a lot.. None of us had seen the dress Anna had refused. But I had trust in Micheline. Her cell phone rang and she rolled her eyes getting up and walking away

"What is it now?!" I heard her snap into the cell phone.

I turned on my iPhone and found three new messages

Hey Sexy!

I can't wait to see you tonight you're going to look so fucking hot!

Maybe we'll find a room alone tonight ;)

See you tonight hottness

-Nick

Nick was my boyfriend. I had broken up with him last week but then he got all .. I don't know charming and sweet. I heard a lot of gossip saying he was using me for my body and the sex and stuff and no doubt he'd be trashed when he got here and then get even more trashed. None of the girls approved of him.

I opened the second text

S!

How are you?!

I'm at the spaa dahhling!

Ooh I'm so excited for tonight!

I miss you!

See you in four hours and 12 minutes!

-Banana

I smiled and quickly texted her back.

Hey!

I'm great.

I'm soo jealous, you don't even know!

See you tonight!

-Rena Beana

The third text made my heart squeeze and my fingers tingle

Serena.

Everything is set for tonight.

We'll be there at 9.

Do we have to wear masks?

We'll meet in the foyer, I'm sure you'll recognize us.

See you soon

Taylor

I giggled and texted back

Hey,

Yes you have to wear the masks.

9 is great.

And I'm sure I will.

Hah.

See you tonight

-S

I put my phone in my purse and the girls waltzed over to me, pulling me up from the couch.

We were supposed to greet guests at the door, checking them off the list.

There were people waiting at the large double doors when we opened them.

I asked for their invitations throwing them in a large wicker basket while Sonya checked and counted them off.

Everyone was elaborately dressed and only a few people didn't have masks, whom we gave extras to, black and normal.
I saw a large group of guys coming up to the door, stumbling and laughing boisterously.

Lucas, Jacob, Nola, Lyon, Ian, Quinn, Tim, and Nick burst threw the door. Jacob, Nolan and Ian still sober, hauling them along.

"S.. Se.. RENA!" Nick yelled staggering over to me, throwing his arms around my neck "G-Guys. Guys. GUYS! Loo.. Look at my Smexyyy girl. You." He paused pointing his finger at me "And me." He shoved his finger at his chest "We'll going to fuck tonight" His lips crashed onto mine. I shoved him off, his lips tasted like vodka, burning my throat.

"Get off me! You're drunk as fuck"

"Hey.. Hey. Do.. Don't beea Bitch." He grinned his hands roughly shoved onto my breasts .

"NICK!" I slapped him, he staggered back when Quinn caught him.

"Nick, you're disgusting, I don't want to be anywhere near you tonight. So leave me alone! It's over! " I turned away shaking my head and checked them off the list, knowing the probably didn't remember the invitations.

Soon after, everyone was here and it was 7:45 or so, and I saw a yellow Porsche pull up. I ran outside and gasped as Anna stepped out with Zac, her boyfriend. Her dress was long, floor length and soft yellow, it hugged her stomach and waist and there was a criss crossing ribbon around her stomach. It hit her chest and was still tight but there was white lace over top. From her hips down it poofy and had the white lace loosely covering the yellow silk, she wore her white Gucci stilettos and a small gold crown on her head. The bottom layer of her hair was curled away from her face and hung around her shoulders and the rest in a tight bun on the back of her head, her new side bangs hung free. She hugged her black shall around her shoulders and clasped Zac's hand and then caught sight of me, standing there gawking. Micheline was right. The dress was perfect. Her mask was in her hands and her face light up when she saw me. She ran over to me, throwing her arms around my shoulders.

"Anna!You.. You have bangs!" I yelled hugging her tightly, now that she was up close I could see her makeup. Her face and chest was shimmering gold her cheeks were dusted with light pink, from her brown bone to her prominent cheek bones. Her eye lids were a dark brown and lined with brown eye liner and her lower eyelashes had light blue eyeshadow under then, accenting her huge dark blue eyes. "I know!" She laughed smiling at me, her lips a light nude colour. She basically glowed."Can you do my mask up for me". Her mask was light blue with white lace around the edges, there were black sparkles on top of them and a small yellow bow in the top right corner. I tied the white silk ribbons beneath her bun and then let her and Zac go around to the other door to where they were entering. I rushed into the house, almost tripping I sat down in my plushy white chair and grinned

"She looks beautiful" I said to all of them. Then the que for the band to switch from the rock song they were playing to a soft light tune made everyone quiet down. Anna and Zac came through a shower of glitter and smoke making everyone ooh and ahh. Everyone clapped and yelled, a couple guys got up and pounded Zac on the back, his black suit and white bow tie and white simple mask made him look classy and sophisticated. He sat down next to Anna in the middle of the of the table.

Everyone was ate and then made there way into the ballroom where the DJ was blasting bass thumping music. 8:50 rolled around and I politely excused myself from dancing with Nolan. I walked out side,the sun had set behind the mountains and the stars were twinkling on the black night canvas. I sat down and sighed, gazing at the moon. Tonight was going great.

"BOO!" Someone yelled from close by, I screamed and jumped up, clutching my chest, which was hammering.

"Jesus Kellan, no need to give her a heart attack." I heard Jackson laugh, they emerged from the bushed in smooth black suits.

"Woah, hi!" I said nervously shaking hands with them."Where's everyone else?" I asked examining their masks. Jackson wore a light green mask with black stripes and Kellan, was wearing a grey one.

"They're coming, we wanted to get here early" Kellan rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Jackson just grinned. Then I heard the familiar sound of tires on gravel and looked and saw a long stretch limo entering the driveway. Taylor, Rob, Nikki and Ashley climbed out. Ashley had on a dark purple dress with small white polka dots and a plain white mask., It had halter straps and stopped at her knee and she was wearing white stilettos. Nikki wore tight red tube dress and a black mask with silver along the top. Rob was wearing a white dress shirt and shrugging on a dark green silk jacket with black pants. Taylor had a black tux and converse on which I found cute. They both had grey and white masks.

"Hey! Thank you so much for coming!" I waved them inside, they were very impressed.

"Um, Rob, we're cutting the cake a ten, so don't get too drunk" I grinned and we all walked into the ballroom. There was a slow song on and everyone was dancing. There was a bar set up outside, alcoholic and non-alcoholic also. The limit was 7 alcoholic drinks. Rob went to talk to the DJ and Jackson and Ashley went to dance same with Taylor and Nikki. Kellan grinned at me

"Care to dance?" He bowed low, offering his large hand to me. I laughed and he pulled me to the dance floor. He was a lot taller then me, so we clasped hands and goofily danced our way threw the crowd, ignoring the now separated couple behind us. Then after swinging around the room a couple time, I was out of breath from laughing so hard.

"So, Serena, I want to get to know you better" Kellan smiled, sitting down on the couch next to me, resting his arms on the back.

"Um.. Well what do you mean?"

"What's you're favourite thing to do on a Saturday"

"Depends when?" I smiled

"Summer, then winter"

"In the summer I ride my horse Neeka, and in the winter I snowboard"

"Second favourite"

"Skate boarding and cooking"

"Oh, cool!" He grinned, then Taylor appeared out of no where.

"Do you want to dance Serena?" He smiled, his white teeth prominent against his dark skin.

I merely nodded.

We walked out to the middle of the dance floor. I linked my arms around his neck while his rested around my back.

"Thank you so much for coming" I said into his ear.

The songs were still pretty slow so we spun in circles, while I heard the whispers among the people watching us

"Who's that guy Serena's dancing with?"

"He's hot!"

"She looks pretty"

"I like his shoes"

"He's HOT!"

Taylor arms were warm against my back.

"No problem, everyone was really excited to come, but Kristen couldn't make it. She had a date with Michael, but she send her best" His breath tingled my ear. I felt his muscular arms tighten around my lower back.

"Ser...Serena?" I heard someone say loudly.

"Oh fuck no" I said quietly.

"What?" Taylor looked down at me.

"SERENA!" He yelled and then everyone turned and stared at me. My cheeks heated up and I ducked behind Taylor. I cringed

"It's my ex-boyfriend.." I said standing on my tip toes, looking over his shoulder. Nick was staggering threw the crowd, wagging his finger at me.

"Look I've got to go. I have to deal with .. it" I grimaced and Taylor let me go.

I walked over to Nick and grabbed him by his shirt collar, dragging him upstairs. I shoved him by his shoulder against a door.

"Nick. What did I say? It's OVER. O-V-E-R!" I shoved him again.

"You've embarrassed me too may times with you and your stupid friends and your stupid drinking!" His hands wrapped around my waist, flipping us so I was pressed against the door. His lips his mine, his tongue ripping my mouth open, while I pushed against his shoulders. Nick was tall and burly, he was on the football team and the basketball team, so it was kind of hard. I felt the door swing open behind me and Nick stumbled in, still kissing me.

"It's not over until I say it is" He laughed and I took the chance the get away. I slammed my knee into his stomach. He groaned and hunched over I scrambled away from him, but he caught my wrist at the last moment.

I screamed "Get the fuck off of me Nick!" I struggled against him as his hand ran up my thigh. He pulled me over to the bed, laying down on top of me.

I screamed again. Somebody's got to hear me

"Shut up slut!" Nick slapped me, making my cheek sting. His hand was up my dress now and his lips kissing my neck.

"HELP ME!" I screamed.

And then Nick's weight was thrown off of me. I heard a crash and someone picked me up carrying me out of the room.

Wow. Holy fuck man.

Intranet got shut down last night so I got carried away.. haha

um. yeah enjoy.
