Project: Socialize

The party was located in a large venue in one of the more bustling areas in Nocsinis. The venue was on the twentieth floor of a hotel with many tables laid out in the spacious area with food and drinks set out in a buffet style. The furnishing of the place and the location of the venue seemed quite expensive already, let alone the decorations and food.

I was surprised by the fact that the theater club was actually able to reserve this place and has enough money to pay. However, from what I've heard, when the club president was searching for a place to hold the party Thursday after school, he found this place and when he told the manager about Irina's involvement, not only was he given a discount, he was also given priority reservation with the only catch being the owner's request to take a picture with Irina. That sounded quite absurd, but... it's the truth.

In the large, spacious room, more and more students began filling in through the doors. Even then, the area was still pretty spacious. It would appear that this room was used for balls or wedding ceremonies, which explains why this room was so large.

It would appear that the other students had returned home to change out of their school uniforms since all of them were dressed in formal clothing for the occasion. The boys wore suits and tuxedos while the girls donned their prettiest dresses and decorated their faces with makeup. This scene surprised me since I was still wearing my school uniform which obviously drew mocking stares from the other students present.

"What the hell is this?" I turned to face Loyd. In my mind, I was irritated that I was now a target of mockery by almost the entire school.

"Don't worry," Loyd said as he smiled. Him, Zaksus, Muria, and Irina were all dressed in their school uniforms, but Loyd didn't seem to panic at all in regards to the situation. "We're special."

"Special?" I looked at him in confusion.

That was when we were interrupted by the theater club president who approached us while wearing a tuxedo.

"Everyone's here?" he asked.

"Yeah," Loyd nodded in response.

"Then let me show you guys to the dressing room," the club president said as he turned around, started walking, and gestured for us to follow him.

The five of us then followed him out of the large, spacious room where the other students were already enjoying the food and into the intricate hallway outside. Like the ballroom, the floor here was also a marble. However, unlike the ballroom where the marble was only one color, the hallway utilized two different colors of marble for the floor. The dark marble was used on the edges and the white marble was used in the center of the hallway. In addition, the decorations and furnishings of the hallway was also quite luxurious and elegant with modern looking wall lights decorated with gold.

"The theater club president said that for us," Loyd responded, "the owner of the place will get us special clothing to wear."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"He means that we have our tuxedos ready for us here," Zaksus said with a big, exited smile on his face. "It'll be high-end ones too."

"That sounds... pretty interesting," I sighed and continued following the club president as he led us down the hallway.

It took us probably about five minutes walking to reach our destination, which goes to show how large the place was. We were led to two separate dressing rooms, with the men's one on the left and the women's one on the right. The theater club president gestured for us to enter the the dressing rooms specific to our gender and when I did so with Loyd and Zaksus, the three of us were greeted with three different outfits on a clothing stand.

Each one was an expensive looking tuxedo that probably cost way more than my monthly allowance. Their design were all extremely fashionable and made from the best materials. I brought my hand to the sleeve of one, feeling the softness of the material that I didn't even know the name of.

"Woohoo," Zaksus whistled as he approached the largest tuxedo that was his size. With great excitement, he took of his blazer and started unbuttoning his shirt before he carefully put on the expensive dress shirt and jacket of the suit.

"You're excited," Loyd chuckled as he picked the one on the far left. Then, he started undressing as well in order to change into the tuxedo.

I was left with the tuxedo in the very center. I actually quite like the design of it. Instead of a white dress shirt like the other two, it came with one that is black. It would appear that the main color scheme of this outfit was black since everything was black, from the suit jacket, pants, and even to the dress shoes.

With a sigh, I took off my blazer and started unbuttoning the white shirt I wore underneath it. Then, I dressed myself in the black dress shirt and put on the suit jacket over it. There were no buttons for this suit jacket, which actually went perfectly with the overall design of the outfit. Once I had put on everything except the tie, I approached the mirror to take in how I looked. To my surprise, it was extremely good-looking on me. The tuxedo fitted perfectly on me and emphasized the outlines of my body with its slim fit.

"Ready?" Loyd asked. The design on his tuxedo was more standard with the white dress shirt and black suit jacket. However, it matched with his character quite well and fitted him perfectly,

"There's also perfume and gel over here!" Zaksus pointed out after he spent some time exploring the dressing room and ultimately discovering those items on top of a drawer.

He then chose one of the many perfumes and applied some. On his face was a content countenance as he expressed his approval on the smell. Looking at him, I also realized that since he was the tallest out of the three of us, his style was actually quite cool to look at. The suit jacket on his tuxedo was also somewhat different from ours with it being extremely long, almost like a long coat since it reached down to his legs. However, he seemed to like it quite a bit due to the fact that he was in a hyped up mood at the moment.

"You guys need to put some of these on," he said, bringing over to us different bottles of the perfume.

On a single glance, I could tell that these perfume were probably just as expensive as these tuxedos. The bottle the perfume was contained in was extremely small and the design of which all appeared extremely luxurious and fashionable. Simply put, these were meant for wealthy people and wealthy people only.

Due to Zaksus's insistence, both Loyd and I chose a different bottle of perfume and sprayed some onto our bodies. To be honest, the scent was extremely pleasant to the nose. It's kinda hard to describe what the scent was, but it was something that wouldn't draw the disdain of people in a sealed off room. The scent itself wasn't very strong with the smell being extremely faint almost as if it's there one second and gone the next. However, once you do catch the smell, you would want to seek out the scent once again.

"Since we're all done here," Loyd said after we had finished dressing and folded our school uniforms before placing them in the cabinets that lined the dressing room, "let's wait outside for the girls."

"Oh I'm excited to see what they're wearing," Zaksus said with great enthusiasm and fervor as we exited the dressing room.

Outside, the theater club president was no where to be found. He probably had returned to the ballroom to direct the party. It also appeared as if the girls weren't done dressing since there were some noises coming from their dressing room. Included in these noises were voices of other females.

"What're they up to?" Zaksus asked as he placed his hands in the pockets of his dress pants.

"Probably a stylist," Loyd explained the voice. "Girls do need their hair and makeup done."

"Really they have a stylist?!" Zaksus appeared even more excited now.

It took around thirty minutes for the two girls to exit their dressing room, but the first to leave was the two female stylists. Then, when my two classmates emerged from the dressing room and into the hall, my eyes widened and my jaws dropped in awe.

Muria and Irina stood there, both dressed in different style dresses, and avoided making eye contact with us out of embarrassment. Both had a faint blush on their faces and seemed uncomfortable with what they were wearing although it wasn't as big of a deal for Irina, who had probably worn something similar before.

Muria's long hair was done in a manner that involved a few strands of her hair being tied into a small ponytail with the majority of it flowing down her back as usual. In addition to that, the light makeup applied to her face, including the eyeliner and lipstick, only served to compliment her natural beauty. Further down, the black evening dress she wore was a low cut one with a built-in collar type design where instead of straps. From where her breasts were, the dress split into two pieces of fabric moving up before meeting behind her neck. Because of this design, Muria's breasts were covered only on the side and the frontal area was opened to expose her cleavage. This evening dress thus mainly emphasized her bust and the slimness of her waists.

She remained silent as she avoided eye contact with us by turning her face away and pointed towards the floor. Her face was extremely red from the embarrassment that had stemmed from having to wear such a seductive outfit. However, it was because of this shyness and troubled countenance on her face that made it even more erotic.

"S-stop staring," she said as her eyes darted over to meet mine before escaping once again. Her voice was mixed with the cute noise of her shy breathing and when that was combined with that shy look in her eyes, it really made my heart race.

"Don't worry, Muria," Irina comforted her companion by placing both her hands on Muria's naked shoulders. "You look great." Her voice was also mixed with embarrassment, but not as much as Muria. She wasn't quite as affected by her evening dress, but that was probably because she was used to wearing such outfits and her's not being as exposing as that of Muria's.

Irina's hair could be described as a ponytail, but it was why more complicated than that. Her bangs were left untouched by the stylists, but they did add in a double braid going across her crown with the rest of her long hair twisted and pinned so that it formed a single ponytail. The makeup on her face also served to emphasize her beauty that was in a way different from that of Muria's with Irina's beauty being a more friendly whereas Muria's was a more conserved. Her evening dress was primarily a light orange similar to the color of her hair. It's design was also one that was drastically different from that of Muria's, being more conservative but also with a low cut, but not one that's as drastic as Muria's. However, her evening dress also emphasized teh outline of her beautiful body.

"Alevian," Irina said as she glared at me.

"Huh?" I was snapped out of that mysterious world that my conscious had escaped to while my eyes surveyed their outfits.

"S-stop staring," she said with a slight blush on her face. She pressed her body closer against Muria's with her back slightly turned in order to shield the front from me. However, this made it so that the two's faces were extremely close to the others.

I panicked and looked around, checking to see if I was really the one staring. Then, I noticed that both Loyd and Zaksus had averted their gaze and was looking at the ceiling. They seemed to be somewhat sorry for not telling me, but that didn't matter when they acted as if they didn't know anything.
