My Fake Lover

#Lexi’s POV:

…..

“Where the hell is it?!” Emily yelled in frustration as she through a pillow across the room.

“I don’t know.” I said as I picked up things all over the room, making a big mess in the process.

Emily and I were trashing my room, looking for my masquerade mask.

“Found it!” Emily said cheerfully as she ran across the room, towards me.

She put the mask on me and squealed in excitement. “I’m so jealous! You look amazing! Tyler is so going to drool all over you.”

“Thanks.” I said, but it came out really quiet. It was almost too quiet to even be heard by Emily.

I let out a sigh and walked in front of my long mirror that could reflect my whole body. I did actually look nice the front pieces of my hair were pulled and clipped at he back of me head and I had on a spaghetti strap black dress and a black masquerade mask. I love wearing these masks because sometimes you can’t tell who the person is because they’re covering there face. Especially if your a brunette. There are a lot of brunettes in my school.

I smiled and played with the side of my dress. I just wish I wasn’t wasting this beautiful night with someone in barely know. I had a few conversations with Mike, but they all were about an assignment in school or something.

I was only doing this because of what Tyler did to me. It felt like he cheated on me even though we’re just friends. That’s how much it hurt.

“Are you okay?” Emily asked, interrupting me from my thoughts.

I turned to look over my left shoulder. “Yeah, what makes you say that?” I asked as I looked back at my reflection.

“Oh, because you were glaring at yourself through the mirror.” She shrugged as a smirk was working its way on her face.

I face palmed myself and walked away from the mirror. I must have been glaring when I was thinking about Tyler and that red head. Ugh! I need to stop thinking and feeling and whatever.

“Ready to go?” I smiled at Emily and she nodded.

“But isn’t your so called date coming to pick you up?” She crossed her hands over her chest.

“No, I told him I’d rather meet him there.” I said. “And again, I’m so sorry. I said that we would go together.”

“Don’t worry and stop apologizing. I said I’d find someone at the party to hang out with.” She said.

“Like a guy?” I smirked and a laugh escaped my lips.

She laughed as well. “Like a guy.”

••••••••••

Once I walked through the school entrance, I already heard the loud music coming from the main gym.

Emily squealed beside me. “I can’t wait to find some one to dance with.”

I laughed and we both walked all the way to the gym. The hallways were neatly decorated and once we made it to the gym, there were bright lights shining every where.

The masquerade ball. So many hidden faces.

“I’m going to get some punch, want some?” Emily asked.

“Sure.”

When Emily walked away, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see a tall guy with light brown hair. I couldn’t tell who it was since the person was wearing a mask. Who wasn’t wearing one anyway? You aren’t aloud to get in without one. If you don’t have one, you’d have to rent. Stupid, I know.

He was dressed very nice with a black suit and a white dress shirt under it added with a black tie. What am I talking about? He looks hot not just ‘very nice’, especially looking mysterious with that mask.

“Hey.” The guy said quietly. I still couldn’t tell who it was. Damn! He was talking to softly.

But it was probably Mike. Who else was it? I barely know any other guys. And besides, Mike has light brown hair.

“Mike?” I asked, confusion clear in my voice.

Mike nodded and grabbed my hand. “Wanna dance?” He asked in a loud whisper with a smirk playing on the edge of his lips.

“I can’t dance.” I said, feeling slightly embarrassed. “I don’t know how.”

“Come one, let’s just try it.” He suggested, holding out his hand.

I nodded and intertwined our hands together, it felt so good being held my him. It made me very warm and comfortable. But the whole time I was thinking about one guy. And that guy was the guy I really like. And I wish he was with me now. That guy is Tyler Evans, the guys I used to hate. I feel very bad thinking about him while I’m hear with Mike, but I couldn’t help it.

‘ Just one dance .’ I promised myself.

When we got in the middle of the dance floor, he put a hand on my lower back and I put my hand on his shoulder as my other never left Mike’s other hand.

A slow song was currently was going on and it was a nice one. “Your not so bad.” Mike smirked, moving his body closer to mine.

I felt my lips turn pink at the close proximity and smiled to hide it.

“Your beautiful.” He bent down and whispered in my ear. Now my face was definitely the color of a dark tomato. “And I love your blush.” He smirked.

“T-thanks.” I managed to let out with a forced laugh.

We danced for a while until he offered to get me a drink. Before I told him that I didn’t need one, he was already gone. Why was he such in a hurry?

And wasn’t Emily already getting me one? But I totally ditched her. I’m such a bad friend.

I signed and walked over to where all the drinks and food were at. But on my way there, I spotted a familiar blonde head, and noticed it was Emily dancing with a guy with familiar blonde hair, but I don’t know who that guy was. What’s with the guy and there mysterious looks with the mask? I could never tell who’s who.

They both moved perfectly until the guys back was facing me and Emily’s head was resting on his shoulder.

Emily saw me and smiled.

I smiled back and mouthed, ‘who is he?’

‘I have no idea’ she mouthed back.

I gave her a thumbs up and left them alone. When I got to the food and drinks area, I spotted Tyler. And he wasn’t wearing a mask but he looked incredibly mouth watering. He was wearing a white dress shirt and a black tie. The sight made me smile.

“Hey best friend.” I said when I saw a familiar red head standing by him. “When did you get here?” I asked with a fake laugh.

“A while ago, but he ditched me.” The red head answered for him. “But I found him.” She snaked and arm around his waist. “I’m Jenna by the way.” She said.

“Lexi.” I gave her a fake smile. I wasn’t going to be her friend anytime soon if she’s interested in Tyler. I hate her even though I barely know her. She slept with him for crying out loud.
