He adjusted his white and gold mask that covered his entire forehead but extended only to half of his face. The overall colour was white with an acrylic effect. The gold highlighted the eyelids and accentuated the mask.
Lex stood in the furthest corner ensuring that the darkened room hid him. He was privy to observing, something he only did when he was out of sight. There were countless couples attending, he saw them cuddling and everything else short of fornication.

Isis was still basking in the aftermath of her shame as she sat at her usual seat in Mr. Greyson’s class. She didn’t want to be here nor did she want to see him. The irrational side of her, though, was anticipating his arrival. Isis drew out her notebook and began shading with her pencil, the chatter of the students fading away as her thoughts drew her in. She thought of the masquerade, every instance playing vividly in her mind as if she were experiencing it at that exact moment. But when it fast forwarded to their moment of flying to close to the sun, Isis withdrew from her thoughts. She didn’t have the constitution to think deeply about it. About how much she wanted it to happen. About how humiliated she felt by being rejected.

Mondays were nobody's favorite and Lex was no exception. It always felt tiresome to him after two full days at home, yet the thought of this Monday had him even more fatigued than usual. He moved slower this morning. He ate breakfast leisurely and as for getting dressed he pulled on a plaid shirt which sported varying shades of blue. He would usually give a little more consideration to what he wore but at the moment it wasn't of consequence. He settled himself into his car and sighed heavily as he pulled out of his driveway.Isis took a longer time than usual to get dressed this morning. She wasn't sure why, but she was in a mood to at least try and look femi

Weekends were as close to a safe- haven as possible for Isis, but the past weekend was a blur. She felt guilty for snapping at Mr. Greyson even though her mind kept justifying her reaction. She knew he was being ridiculous but she felt horrible, after all, he was her teacher!Presently. Isis passed her fingers through her disheveled hair and focused on her research. She was at school, making use of the Library. She didn't particularly admire the dull setting but it was better than staying outdoors where she might run into Mr. Greyson.

"Let you in?" She echoed his command and was certain her voice illustrated her complete bewilderment. Mr. Greyson shoved his hands into his pockets and sighed."There are no rooms left so we will have to share one." He enlightened her. Lex was also not thrilled about the idea, it was not what he wanted but it was the only choice they were afforded."You could've let someone else share a room with me." Isis countered.

It was pitch black, soundless, and motionless. No one else would be here... they couldn't be here. It was just his conscious roaming in the nothingness. It felt odd for a place that seemed not to exist, the darkness an eternal realm devoid of any feeling with the exception of Euphoria.

The sound of her sobs echoing off the walls in a sick mockery.She huddled into a corner in her kitchen, her arms wrapped around herself, knees to chest as she released the pent up emotions that surged inside her.

She was clad in her pajamas, her hair piled atop her head in disarray never mind that it was well past noon. She pulled the door opened aggressively her anger subsiding as she was flanked by the rotating body of Lex. As he turned to face her, Isis' entire bodily functions ceased. Her mind cleared and her body stood rigid, her first instinct was to step back and shut the door but she was momentarily stunned. This was bold, even for him.Lex tried to regulate his breathing. He hadn't expected this particular reaction but he finall

Lex clenched his fists at his side as he watched Isis exit his office. He felt as if his jaw would break under the pressure of his clenched teeth. That was not how he had planned his first meeting with Isis after the incident. He covered his eyes with a hand and sighed in frustration.Tatiana closed the distance and stood behind him, he could feel her presence, it was stifling.
