The Masquerade??

***The Masquerade Kiss***

CHAPTER ONE

Have you ever expected or atleast wished for having a romance like in novels?.

I, Yuri never in my whole life expected to be noticed and loved by a popular, hottest guy ( literally A HUNK )at my whole school. Things have changed in my life due to him. Due to our meet. Due to thesophomore masquerade.

Now let's talk about me, I am Yuri an ordinary high schooler. It's not like I am so popular at school nor am i so unpopular and unnoticed at school, I just mingle with everyone, not really with everyone but with those who accept me for being myself ( they don't care about my status, ranks and other stuffs but just care about the true me ), not with those arrogant high-class, rich person ( who totally care about status to befriend).

My best-est friend is linda, she is rich but not arrogant. Linda doesn't have the attitude that all rich students share by their blood, she is simply simple and is true to me. I like her so much, we do be there for each other at our saddest time, grimmest time , happiest time, and like everytime. We have been bestie's for years till now.

I never had in my life time got a invitation to a grand party or get together. But at my sophomore year, now..... I got an invitation to a royal (well 'royal' is only to me, i guess) masquerade, not only me but all the students who belong to my same grade.

Surprisingly the Masquerade theme party is being arranged by the school hunk, Ruki.... Ruki black, the only son of karl black and Nina black. He was born and fed with a silver spoon since he's their only son.

The RKN corporation is the leading company in the whole Paris. The RKN corporation was named after the first letter of Ruki, Karl and Nina black. I never thought that such a ice faced, handsome, play boy to host a masquerade and that every student is invited.

They say Ruki isn't well sociable with other prosperous women's but was forced to maintain 'a relationship' with them as he is the next heir. They call Ruki black as a 'Black angel',born from heaven with such a innocent, handsome face that could melt every girl's heart. Well, I and Linda am not one of them, we don't think he's handsome, .....I hope.

" Yuri, what are you doing???. Aren't you getting ready for the masquerade?? We have a lot to do like facial, pedicure,manicure, a full pack of makeup, fitting into a elegant and beautiful dress, and last but not the least a crescent and

sun mask!!!!. Oh! and Ruki is gonna be there, you know the Dark angel , OH god, just kill me already but after meeting him, god." Linda said.

I still don't get how could she speak this much with so much exclamations, without breathing at all.

So my predictions were wrong , Linda's heart got melted by Ruki just like other girls out there.

"well... I think I couldn't make it " I said. Dull.

"Why?????" She asked me in awe.

" I just don't think this is gonna work out for me. You know right, I don't really like these Richie's and their acts." I explained.

"C'mon, Ruki is not like them."

" I just... Just..... Don't wanna meet those arrogant students " I said.

"Oh!" Linda groaned. She quickly closed the space between us and she hugged me,warm and gave me a reassuring smile. I smiled back which was a bit dry.

"Yuri, did you forget that it is a masquerade?"

"No, so what?"

"Fool. Masquerade means that 'you are not you'. Everyone wears a mask to hide their identity. It's a perfect chance for us to get a sweet romance." said Linda, making prefect sense.

"Yeah, right." I muttered .

" You in??" Linda questioned me

" Hell yeah." I said with my opinion about the Masquerade totally changed. We hugged again but this time due to excitement.

Linda gave me our 'Dab' , it's a symbolic representation meaning 'go for it, girl!!!". Our dab is simply placing our fist near our chest and tapping it two times and finally releasing our fist into the mid-air with total encouragement. We had been

doing our dab for years.

I let out a heavy breath. "Go for it Yuri, it's your night." I encouraged myself even more.

" Yuri there are only three hours more, it won't buy us enough time." Linda exclaimed.

Oh, seems like I forgot to mention Linda and I are roommate's at the school's dorm.

"Lin, it's three hours! Won't it buy us enough time?"

"well.... Let's get ready, then!" said Linda still with the same excitement as before.

I am a bit curious about this masquerade now, I am curious about how students would disguise themselves, curious about whether I will find my sweet romance and what not.

Hours passed. It's 5:30 now, a perfect time for Sight- seeing

the sun setting. Me and Linda have finished our disguise.

Before a hour ago, I didn't have a perfect dress to wear to the masquerade then Linda surprisingly bought me a custom-made dress. I was surprised as Linda never depended on her family to help me out , this is her first time depending on them for me. I couldn't bare to get the dress from her. I stared at her.

"What?" asked Linda.

"Did you depend on your family to get me this dress?" I questioned Linda. Not of fury but of concern.

"Hey! Yeah but No" she said.

"I don't get it ? It's a simple Yes or No question, what do you mean by yes but no?" I said still very concerned.

"Hey! She's kinda like my family. She just gave me these dress for the masquerade, but don't worry I really didn't accept this but just

borrowed it. I promised her that I would returnthis back." Linda explained

"Who is 'she'?" I questioned her again.

"You'll get to know after the masquerade" said Linda and hurried me to try that beautiful, Golden, brilliant long frock, well it wasn't really a frock but a long fancy wear that you would wear at a banquet or something.

I came out changed into the beautiful banquet wear. Linda look at me in awe.

" Perfect. Beautiful. Awesome.And.... And ... I don't know what to say, you are

totally gorgeous." Linda exclaimed.

" Hey you don't have to say that" I said in embarrassment.

" You're gonna totally rock it, my girl" Linda said and dragged me to wear my golden sun mask.

"It's perfect and totally matching your dress" said Linda. What she said is true the golden dress matches well with this golden sun mask.

"Let's go" said Linda. "yeah" I agreed with her.
