TARGET FIVE Take a break, take a break! The Autumn School Festival begins! Part 4
"Okay." After wiping the last stain on my face, Dougze put down his hand and placed the dirty handkerchief on the table beside him. After looking at my face, he said, "You look better now. Don't let anyone put such ugly makeup on you in the future." Then he said, "Don't take pictures with anyone casually."
I stuck out my tongue to show that I understood, but my face couldn't help but turn red and hot. It was really hard to imagine that a heartless and rough person like me could be so sensitive to such subtle emotions.
"Um...thank you..." My brain froze, and I could only say thank you at this moment, and I desperately thought about what I should say next? Would it be embarrassing to just sit there like this?
Oh my god! Someone help me! I'm really bad at finding topics to talk about! Sure enough, every time I shouted, I would get help. Just when I was extremely embarrassed, the door of the infirmary was suddenly slammed open. Romani, with messy hair, Nicole, and Havensting rushed in. When they saw me, they rushed over and grabbed me and ran out. It seemed that they were really in a hurry, so they didn't care about the etiquette of ladies, nor did they care about greeting Dougze.
"Finally we found you, hurry up and follow us!"
I was confused by this sudden situation, so I quickly grabbed Romani and asked, "Why are you so flustered? What's going on?"
Romani then saw Dogezeye. She rolled her eyes, let go of my hand, winked at the two followers, and said, "Actually, you don't have to go with us. This place is also good. But as a man, Mr. Dogezeye must leave first."
Very quickly, Nicole and Havensting pushed Dogeze out as well, saying as they pushed him out, "Dogeze, please step aside as well. We need to dress up Graya."
"Yeah, it's not convenient for a grown man like to stay here!" Daugeze was also pushed out by the two. The quiet and warm atmosphere was instantly disrupted, and then replaced by Romani's anxiety: "It's too late, too late, I don't know if there is still enough time..."
Before I could even reminisce about the sweetness of the moment, Romani confused me: "Why are you so flustered? What happened?"
"Of course it's a big event!" Romani shook her ponytail, crossed her arms, raised her small chin high, and said, "There is a masquerade ball at 12 o'clock tonight. We have to dress up and attend. There will be a selection of the queen of the ball tonight. Of course, we have to dress up beautifully. We can't lose face for our group of four!"
After Romani finished speaking, Nicole and Havensteen couldn't hide their excitement: "Yes, the couple selected tonight will have a sweet dance together!"
"You have to take off the masks in public!" At this moment, I saw Nicole and Havensteen returning with makeup boxes and wardrobe boxes in their hands.
"Dancing? Dancing with whom?" I was forced to sit on a chair by three men, my hair was messily tied up, my face was covered with all kinds of makeup, and even my feet were constantly changing pairs of high heels.
"With a dance partner, of course! We'll choose one randomly on the spot. How about it? Exciting, right?" Havensteen was extremely excited as he painted on my face.
"We have to speed up. The time is almost up. We have to stand up for Greya who has been wronged!" Romani was doing my hair while anxiously looking at the clock on the wall.
Time passed by, the second hand ticked, and the three people in the room were busy. After a while, the transformation of a zombie girl was finally completed. My tattered bandage suit was thrown aside. At this moment, I have changed into a pink puffy dress. The exquisite tailoring and fit tailoring show my hidden curves. The slender neck is adorned with a sparkling diamond necklace. The exquisite makeup and the unique shining hair accessories put me in the role of a European court lady. I pulled up the hem of my skirt, and sure enough, a pair of crystal shoes shining with diamonds were on my feet. This is simply a Cinderella plot, and these three are my fairy godmothers!
Romani and the other two looked at me as if they were looking at their own masterpiece, nodding their heads in satisfaction and praising me: "Graya, you really are stunning!"
"Yes, yes! Graya, you will definitely be the prom queen tonight!"
"Your dance partner will be very lucky tonight!"
"Is... is that so?" I giggled and said, "No way..." As I was saying that, I saw the door being gently pushed open. Standing at the door was Duverg, whose appearance had returned to normal. He looked at me with a hint of surprise and a hint of fascination in his eyes, but more than that, he was dissatisfied with my high-profile dressing.
"Duverger, when come?" Romani put her hands on her hips and challenged the uninvited guest, "Did you see anything?"
"That kind of figure is nothing to look at." Duverg crossed his arms with his usual unhappy look on his face.
I covered my chest guiltily and gave Duverger a cold look, but Nicole quickly interrupted: "Come over and take a look at our work."
Duverger actually looked me up and down carefully, and then said seriously, "Not bad."
After getting a positive answer, the three of them immediately smiled happily.
"Will you choose me as your date?" Duverg looked at me and suddenly said this out of the blue.
My female companions covered their mouths and giggled, then said in unison: "That's not necessarily true!" Then, they continued to push me out in a hurry. I was afraid that the magic would fail, and I ran to the venue next to the stage , feeling uneasy: What exactly would happen in a moment?
The starry sky shrouds the mysterious night sky, a bright moon emits a halo behind the hazy clouds, the dome-top venue is nestled among the green trees, and cherry blossom petals flutter in the wind, as if a rain of petals has fallen in this fresh night sky.
The lights on the stage were still bright, but more lights were focused on the area in front of the stage. Therefore, under the illumination of floor lamps and overhead lights, this place had become a dance practice ground where the nobles were eager to try.
I was pulled by Romani and followed the three people to the center of the venue. I was very uncomfortable holding the gilded mask covering my face, and watching everyone anxiously through the two exposed holes. The reason for my anxiety was that the heels of the crystal shoes Romani and the others gave me were too high. After putting them on, I had to tense my whole body and be careful not to fall. It seems that beauty still requires a great price!
"Next, it's up to you!" Romani fastened the mask in front of her eyes, twisted her waist and dived into the crowd. Then she stuck out her tongue at me and said, "Bye, I'm going to find my dance partner!" After that, she disappeared seductively into the crowd in her princess dress.
I immediately became anxious as if I had lost my backbone, and the discomfort caused by the high heels on my feet became more and more intense: No! Romani! Don't leave me here alone! I screamed in my heart, and looked at the people coming and going around me with even more panic, wondering: Hey? Why are these people looking at me? Some of them even secretly looked at me under the pretext of talking to others. Why are these people looking at me? Oh my God! Help!
"Hello, beautiful lady!" A boy in a black suit came up to me, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and gestured to me, "Cheers!" He raised his glass gracefully.
"Bullshit...bullshit..." I quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Before I could say anything, a masked boy squeezed in next to me.
"Hello, young lady. I am a noble from Orlundu. I would like to invite you to dance with me tonight. May I ask if you would do me the honor of dancing?" As he said this, he extended his hand.
"There is no first come first served principle. I'll treat this lady first!" The boy who was toasting was very unhappy and pushed the other boy's hand away.
But the visitor was also very rude: "You just toasted, and you didn't ask the lady to be your dance partner. It was obviously me who said it first!"
I waved my hands awkwardly, smiled foolishly and wanted to say something to break the awkwardness, but my voice was drowned out by the argument between the two.
"It was obviously me who invited you first!"
"It's me! It's me!"
"What do you have to prove that you asked first?"
“I was here first!”
It seems that the argument between these two people will never end. If the tense situation continues to develop, they may really fight!
I was at a loss when I suddenly saw a red-haired guy walking over like a boss. He walked over to the two people who were arguing, raised his hand and pushed them aside. Although this was not gentlemanly and his manners were not cool, this guy really saved me once. In fact, I didn't need to guess who this person was, I knew who he was.
"Chikeyaro!" I rushed over and grabbed his sleeve as if I had found a life-saving straw, and said, "What's wrong with you? Why did you come so late?"
"This beautiful lady is my dance partner. You two are not qualified in front of me, the most handsome man in Orendu!" He said as he stroked his hair with his hand, looking extremely cool.
After seeing this, the other two competitors had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Seeing the two of them leave, I quickly let go of their hands and said, "Why are you the only one here, where's little Jackson?"
"Oh! My dear girl!" Chikeyaro suddenly straightened his body as if dancing tango, and hugged me. Obviously, he had fallen into his own world, "Oh! My beautiful princess! I hope to be your loyal guard! Please accept my rose!"
It's over, he was lost in his own world again... I twitched my lips and moved away carefully like a crab, just to avoid disturbing his self-intoxication.
"Oh! Beautiful lady! Don't you feel uneasy because I'm so handsome? Don't be afraid, you have to be confident..."
Little Jackson walked up to me wearing a silver mask and shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. He said helplessly, "This idiot is really hopeless..."
I covered my mouth to hold back my laughter and said, "How long will he be like this?"
"I don't know. It depends on how sick he is today."
I pursed my lips and waited for a moment before I asked the question I wanted to ask: "By the way, where is Dogeze? Why didn't I see him?" To this end, I pretended to be very relaxed and asked casually.
Unexpectedly, little Jackson probably thought I was just asking casually, so he answered easily, "I don't know either."
At this moment, the lights suddenly flashed, the big screen lit up with dazzling pictures, and the sound, light and electricity equipment worked at the same time, making the square under the night sky appear exceptionally bright - the dance party was about to begin!
