The masquerade ball
(written by Sara [email protected])
It's Wednesday evening, you are sitting on the sofa reading the paper when you find an article about a masquerade ball in 4 Seasons on Thursday the next week. 'Oh my god, that's great' ,you said enthusiastically. Then you went to call
to tell her about it.
'Hi, , it's
!'
'Oh Hiiiiiiii�.How are you?'
'I'm fine�.,listen! There's a masquarade ball on Thursday in 4 Seasons�I'm going, would you like to come with me?'
'Actually,�I have so many exams this week so I can hardly come with you�I'm really sorry but I'm sure you'll have a great time'
'Oh I see�Good Luck then'
'Thanks'
'Bye'
'Bye'
You are really disappointed and go to your room. You don't want to go there alone but something is telling you you should go.
It's Thursday morning, you have bought the costume but you still haven't decided whether you are going or not. At 7:00 PM, one hour before the party, you decide to go. You get dressed as a princess and leave your home at 7:30. At 8:30 you are there. Before you go in you have to wear masks on your eyes. So you take one and go in.
You sit alone on the bar looking around you at all the people wearing masks. While you are looking around, you find a lad, dressing as a prince, that is standing there with two other lads chatting. You can't take your eyes of him. While they were talking, another two come. Also with masks!
You are staring at him while he's talking when suddenly he turns around and look at you. Your eyes meat. You turn around as if nothing happened.
'Lads,look at that gal over there!' ,says the lad who you couldn't take your eyes off, 'A real princess, isn't she?'
He leaves his group moving towards you, which you of course didn't see.
While he's coming towards you, it is announced that it will be time to take off the masks after 30 minutes. You get really excited because you really want to know who this is.
After that 'Classic' is played. Suddenly, someone talks to you: 'May I have this dance?'
You look at him surprised and say:
'Oh, yes of course!'
You dance for 10 minutes and suddenly this lad looks at someone and gets shocked and wants to take off your mask to know who you are. You stop without noticing he's shocked smiling and saying :'It's not time yet.'
Suddenly, out of nowhere, comes a girl and takes your lad away saying:
'What are you doing with this gal?'
'Nothing!'
Now the song changes again to 'Don't get me wrong'. You feel as if these words are coming from him.
Don't Get Me Wrong
Don't get me wrong
I've played my part and it's over
I'm tired of being strong
By hiding that I'm not yeah
Don't get me wrong
You've played your part and I think you know
This love's for real
It's time to show just how I feel
Time after time
I refuse to see why
I can't go on without you by my side
Baby I just wanna get to know that if you care
You could be part of my life
Baby don't you know we could be doing this forever
And be doing alright, Yeah
Time after time
This moment's been on my mind
Now I've left it behind
Oh don't get me wrong, Yeah
That lad and the gal leave before it's even time to take off the masks. You are really frustrated�
'Why didn't I let him take my mask off? At least he would have known who I am? Why? Why?'
You decide to leave 2 minutes before taking off the masks. Before you leave the hall you here two arguing and then left!
After a week , you were walking down the street, eating Ice-cream and looking at the ground. Suddenly you hit someone unporposely and your Ice-cream falls all over his shirt.
:Oh,I'm soo sorry! I...I.....sorry...
(cleaning his shirt): It's ok
:My home is 2 streets away from here....you wanna come with me...I'll wash it and dry it...if you're not in a hurry
(smiling): Ok
You both went to your home. On your way there you got to know each other....He told you he broke up with his girlfriend a week ago and you told him you were single.You put the shirt in the washing machine and then let it dry.
:Here you go...dry and clean!
:Thanks alot..Ah! by the way, can I have your number?
You give him your number and take his
At the afternoon your phone rang
:Hallo, .....How are you?
:I'm fine! Are tou free today?
:Yeah why?
:Would you like to go to the movies with me? There's a great movie!
:Of course, I would!
:I'll pick you up at 8:30. Meet you then
:Ok, see ye, bye

You go to the movies and enjoy your time...
You start dating...but one day you were having lunch and he said...
:, I want to tell you something but don't say I'm crazy
(smiling): What is it?"
:At a masquerade ball...
:What masquerade ball? The one at 4 seasons?
:Yeah
:You were there?.....I was there, too.
:Oh really? we didn't meet ,sadly!
(smiling): Go on what happened there?
:I met a girl there who i didn't even got to know her name or see her face because of my stupid ex. And I think that this girl has something to do with you.I'm trying my best to get her out of my mind but I can't.
:So you love me because I have something to do with her?!
:No, ! Don't get me wrong!
:I met a guy there,too. I didn't get to know anything about him,too. But I continued my live normally.You have to do that , too! You understand what I mean?
You finished lunch and went back home.
The next day, he called to apologize. You said it was ok.
:Why don't you come to my place?We can have a rink or two.
:OK,why not
You arrive and knocked but he didn't open.
So you opened with the key he made you.
:Hello,, where are you?
:I'm in the shower.
:I'll wait for you outthere.
:Ok

:Yeah, why?
You took it and gave it to him
:Then..what's this...I want the shorts.
:Just wear it ,please! I want to see it on you
He wears it and gets out of the bathroom
: You were wearing this?
:Yeah
: I'll be right back ....wait...stay like this

After 30 minutes
's door rang and he opened
He found the girl from the masquerade ball with the mask on her face.
:Oh my god...how did you know I live here?
The girl(laughing): I can't belive it......you don't know who I am?
: No, actually...Come in...(closing the door)...it would be easier if you took your mask off.
The girl took off her mask
: Oh myyyyy God? It's you, ? That girl is you?
(with a huge smile on her face): And that guy was you
You hugged and you kissed.
After that, you lived like a prince and a princess!
