~Matt's POV~

I finished my burger and was sipping my drink. Ella looks like she's going to explode, that girl can't keep a secret, can she?

"Hey, you're face looks like its going to explode, c'mon,tell us what happened." Woah, looks like Mikayla noticed it too, since she was always the oblivious one.

"Yeah, did you met a boy?" I joked. Ella was never serious about relationships, her longest relationship was about one month, I think.

"Hmm....you can say that, but he's a royalty!" Ella squealed.

"R-royalty?" Both of us stuttered and the same time.

"Yes! All of us are invited too!" She says, shoving the invitation to my face.

"U-um,okay......" Mikayla says taking the envelope and opened it.

"It's tonight at 8PM sharp at Nobel Michel Castle,its 6PM now." I say eyeing the invitation while  checking the time on my phone.

"Yep. We gotta buy our clothes ASAP." Ella says calmly.

After we paid, we head straight to a fancy shop. I decided to get a simple tuxedo, but Ella has other ideas.

"No, no, no! This one is too simple!" Ella says puckering her lips.

"...." I shrugged and bit my lip.

"Kayla, what the hell are you holding?"Ella says.

Mikayla was holding a white dress, it was simple but elegant. It will look great on her.

"No way! You try this on,and you, this! Ella says giving me a fancy tuxedo that must cost about a thousand pounds. I sigh and went to the fitting room.

Hmm, it looks great on me. I guess Ella does have a pretty good taste in clothings.

I went outside and saw Ella and Mikayla staring at me,"That's it! Buy this one!" Ella said and Mikayla nodded.

After we bought our outfits, we went back to the hotel to check in and refreshen up.

And finally, the ball.

~Mikayla's POV~

The road to the ball was dreadful. I can't believe I was in a dress again. After I left the castle, I never thought I would have to wear a dress again.

Well, I'm lucky because its a masquerade ball.

Suddenly, the limo stopped. And came into the view was the stunning castle glimmering in the dark.

I sighed and without a choice, I step out of the car.

~~~TIME SKIP~~~

I rolled my eyes as I leaned onto the balcony, Ella was dancing with Prince Oliver and Matt was talking to some nobles, they started gushing as he said he's a pilot. And I'm stuck at this party, alone.

Oh well, at least the wine is good. I thought as I take a sip. It was the sixth glass I was drinking.Hey,why not? I can hold my liquor very well.

"Hey," A voice said behind me. I jumped and almost spilled my drink all over my dress.

"Woah, careful," Another voice said. Gosh, these voices are too familiar...It can't be....

I turned around and saw six men, they are wearing their masks, of course, but I know their hair color anywhere.

"Um, hello, your highnesses," I mumbled.

"No need for formalities," Prince Oliver says with a smile.

"..."

Suddenly, Prince Hayden grabbed my hand and started dragging me into a small room near the ballroom. The other princes followed.

When we reached there, and the door was shut safely, they crushed me into a big bear hug.

"Ow,ow,ow, you guys!" I squealed, but honestly in the inside, my heart was warm from seeing them again.

"Gosh, do you know how much we missed you? And then you showed up the place we least expected to see you, and you're a pilot!" Prince Aslan says happily.

"Okay, I can't breath....." I say while gasping for air.

They let me go while laughing their head off, like seriously?

"You should go back, your country needs you," Prince Hayden says, his eyes serious.

"They chased me out, I'm not going back," I say crossing my hands stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, it's your choice anyway." Prince Hayden says with a smile.

"But do us a favour, will you?" Prince Oliver says.

"Um,what?" 

"SLEEPOVER TIME!"

Oh, boy.
