Looking up and down at his own projection in the mirror, he pulled the hem of the fluffy long skirt, the black lace upper body and the red silk skirt, with the flaming red lips and the black staff, as if by magic, turned in a circle, the skirt flew up, but it was not the effect of a fairy descending to the earth, revealing a dark and evil temperament all over her body, looking more like a witch standing next to Satan.

"Ahh Julia Newman let out a sigh of chagrin and stomped her foot hard.

Today is the new semester homecoming prom for senior high school, which is a masquerade ball, where all students will carefully select costumes, dress up and attend ceremoniously; At the end of the prom, students will also vote for the Backcoming King and Backcoming Queen. This is the most important start of the semester.

According to the plan, Julia will be dressed as the Wicked Witch and Mark-Cotez will be dressed as the Dark Knight. The two will pair up to form a dark duo and join hands to attend the ball.

Mark is the school's basketball team's playmaker, and he and Julia were in math class together, and the two got acquainted through an accidental conversation, and later, Mark invited her to the back-to-school ball, and she nodded yes, and the two came up with such a unique makeup idea.

It's a perfect plan. Throughout the ball, everyone will be dressed up as boring characters like princes and princesses, and their iconoclasms will inevitably fall through countless glasses and become the center of attention of countless people. For the last year of secondary school, there is no better shining debut.

However, the plan was shattered. Because of Jenny-Donnagen.

Jenny is the cheerleader of the school football team, with a hot body and delicate features, and is also a leader in the sorority, definitely the school's biggest figure, and the biggest favorite to be the back-to-school prom queen.

Just two days before the back-to-school prom began, Jenny fell out with her boyfriend and turned her head to extend an invitation to Mark. Mark nodded yes and became Jenny's dance partner.

So Julia was left alone, dressed as an evil witch, standing alone in front of the mirror, like a bad guy ready to destroy the world. Though at this moment, she really wanted to destroy the world, damn Jenny, damn Mark, those damn bunches; However, more than anger, there is still chagrin and regret.

For a moment, Julia just wanted to escape, and perhaps, she wouldn't have to be at the ball tonight. Even if he attended, he was alone, alone, sad and desolate.

It happened suddenly, completely killing Julia by surprise, even if she wanted to find a new dance partner, it was too late.

In fact, Julia had considered Lu Ke, and she knew that if she asked for help, Lu Ke would definitely not refuse; But Julia also knows that Lu Ke is facing a difficult situation now, this week's game is close at hand, Lu Ke is still not sure of the starting position, and in recent times, Lu Ke is concentrating on strength training, and every day is very hard.

After much thought, Julia still didn't speak.

However, Julia has never been a timid and timid personality, she still changed her costume, finished her makeup, mustered up the courage, and prepared to attend the ball, even if she was alone, that Longtan tiger's den, she had to break through, and she must not be underestimated by Jenny and Mark; But at this time, looking at herself in the mirror, Julia hesitated again.

"Julia? What are you still doing in there? You're scared, aren't you? Logan's giggling voice, extremely annoying, came through the thin door panel, "Otherwise, you can ask me well, maybe I will agree to help?" ”

"Don't. Even if you help, I don't want it. Julia responded fiercely, without showing weakness, straightening her skirt, secretly clenching her fists, and cheering herself on, "You can do it!" You can! ”

Turn around, take a step, open the door. Then, Julia saw Logan standing in the doorway, with a look of underbeating on that familiar cheek, she raised her right hand and pointed at Logan, "Shut up!" She knew that she was looking very evil right now, so she was ready to make the most of that.

Logan raised his right hand, slowly slid it over his lips, and zipped it up, but the smile in those eyes was full of color, and it clearly told his inner thoughts.

Julia rolled her eyes in annoyance, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked down the stairs.

Austin and Tiffany stood at the top of the stairs one after the other, smiling, but their slightly tense facial expressions betrayed their inner worries.

"I'm fine." Julia raised her head, asked the sky speechlessly, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Dad, Mom, I'm seventeen years old, I'm not a child, believe me, I can handle a ball, it's just a ball, and it's not Indiana Jones's tomb adventure." "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

But, with the heavy footsteps and the sound of stomping her feet, it revealed her irritability, strode downstairs, opened the door, and said in a loud voice, "I'll be on my own!" You don't have to worry about ......."

"Are you sure?" Before the words could be finished, a voice came from the door, Julia braked in time, stopped, turned her head, and then saw a tall and strong figure standing at the door, like a wall, tightly blocking the way, this is really too sudden and too unexpected, Julia subconsciously took a small step back, noticed the person in front of her, and couldn't help but be stunned, her face was full of astonishment.

Lu Ke, standing in front of him is actually Lu Ke, for rugby professional players, Lu Ke's body shape still needs to be exercised; But for ordinary people, Lu Ke's strength is beyond doubt. However, Lu Ke looks so strange today that he is almost unrecognizable.

A set of traditional French court costumes, pearl white shirt, black suede tuxedo, red ribbon, waist sword, long riding boots, the whole person presents an elegant retro and majestic temperament, as if ...... It's like Prince Charming, or a royal knight. It's something I've never seen before.

"I've heard that you need a little help with chivalry tonight, so I'm asking for help. Could it be that the plans have changed now? Lu Ke said kindly and enthusiastically with a sunny smile on his face.

Julia opened her mouth and stared at her round eyes, only to feel that her brain was a mess, and she couldn't speak a little uncomfortably, "Uh...... You, don't you need to train? I thought you didn't have any free time, and there wasn't much time left to prepare for this week's game. ”

"Today's training is over. At least, I still have the time to serve as a knight and a hero to save beauty. Lu Ke tugged at his costume, still a little awkward. Masquerade balls, I have heard of them in rumors, and I have seen them in my life, but Lu Ke really hasn't participated in them. Tonight is the first of its kind.

Julia still didn't react and frowned, "But how do you know?" Mother? Is that you? You took the initiative to make a request to Lu Ke? ”

"Huh." Lu Ke chuckled lightly and took the initiative to explain, "No, it's not." It's Logan. He learned of your concerns and frustration and asked for my help. If you weren't worried that his presence would backfire, he'd be more than willing to be your dance partner. "Not having a dance partner and having to be accompanied by my brother is a real disaster for high school students.

Julia turned her head, and then she saw Logan standing on the top of the stairs, still grimacing, tightly shutting his mouth, not speaking, rolling his eyes widely, as if to say, "You told me to shut up, so I'll keep shut." ”

That childish act made Julia angry and funny, full of emotion, but she didn't know how to express it.

"So, I have the honor of being your dance partner tonight? By the way, let me show you chivalry, which I've been waiting for a long time. Lu Ke put his left hand on his right shoulder and made a knight's invitation.

Julia stretched out her right hand and put it in Lu Ke's right hand, making a lady's thank-you gift, "Of course, it's my honor." ”

Lu Ke straightened up and smiled at the Newmans, "Austin, Tiffany, tonight, I will escort Julia to the back-to-school prom, and I will be back before the curfew." ”

"Prince and witch, it's a good combination." Austin waved his right fist and cheered twice, but no one in the room responded, so he became embarrassed, Austin put away his fist and said hesitantly, "Come on, 49?" This time, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Julia grabbed Lu Ke's arm, and the two of them left the room. Approaching the top of the steps, Julia suddenly stopped, turned her head, and shouted, "Thank you." Obviously, this sentence was addressed to Logan, but she didn't wait for an answer, took another step, and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road with Lu Ke.

"Are you sure it's normal for us to have a combination?" Julia looked at Lu Ke's gorgeous court clothes, couldn't help tilting her head, and laughed loudly, "I don't think anything, it's as if a witch snatched the prince from Snow White." ”

Deep down, after all, I am still a little unconfident. Julia always felt that when her plans went off track tonight, something wasn't quite right.

Lu Ke opened the car door gentlemanly and invited Julia to sit in, then closed the car door, walked quickly around to the driver's seat, and sat in, "A fairy tale is a story after all, but in real life, no one stipulates that the prince must be with the princess." Witches and queens are also entitled to be cared for, and I think the combination of witches and princes may have more sparks. What's more, is there anyone who still likes fairy tales now? ”

Involuntarily, the corners of Julia's mouth went up.

When I arrived at the school, there were not many empty spaces left in the parking lot, and the cars were full, showing the grandeur and grandeur of tonight's dance; After going around the parking lot twice, Lu Ke found a parking space, and after completing the parking, he gentlemanly opened the door of the passenger seat and issued an invitation, "Dear witch, how is it, are you ready?" ”

Julia stretched out her right hand and said confidently, "Let's scare the little princesses." ”
