Contest Winners .:OPEN:. .pleaseread.

[TBA]

Zaid stepped up to the stage slowly and cleared his voice. He was about to announce the winners of the evening's competition – the best dressed male and female students. His eyes scanned the room, and realised that no one was actually looking at him. He pulled out his wand, and shot a few firecrackers out of it. There, that got everyone's attention!

"Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys," Zaid began nervously. "After much deliberation, the best dressed male and female students have been chosen. These students are wearing clothes which are original, elegant and reflect their personalities.

"Without further ado, I would like to announce Bellatrix Jane Carter and Jason Mehl as the best dressed students for this year's End-of-Term Dance. Would everyone please give them a round of applause? And if the two students would like to come up here and make a speech …?"

[Rudolph Alexander]

Rudolph started clapping faintly, he hadn't made any effort at all for this evening, and began to laugh quietly to himself when his name wasnt announced.

[Hannah Jackson]

She came back into the dance-hall, hearing the unnatural silence in preparation for the Headmaster's announcement. Her dark red shoes clicked against the smooth surface as she walked in them unnaturally.

She took the time to watch all the hushed voices as the headmaster's words washed around them, not really listening to much he was saying, but still knowing what he was talking about. There were so many people who'd tried their hardest to look the best. She'd tried her hardest to just not stand out.

She perked up when hearing the names, a small smile to herself spreading on her lips. Good on you, Jason... she thought to herself, scanning the room to find him.

[Bellatrix Jane Carter]

Bellatrix's legs dragged her inside the Dance Floor. Why did she come here? Because her legs forced her. Psh. Everything fell quiet as the Headmaster began the "normal" speech: Yada Yada. Her eyes fell upon Hannah as she gave her an attemped smile and a small nod.

Bleh. She sighed, as she started to lean against the wall, her eye serveying the whole place. She blinked a couple of times when she heard her name, as she inwardly groaned at the familiar "speech" thing.

Remind me again why

[/u] did I have to come inside...[/i]

She rolled her eyes inwardly. She was never good at speeches, well, she was good at speeches, but not upon winning an award for dressing, as many would think, gothic. She rolled her eyes inwardly once again at that thought. I am no goth.

She thought inwardly, before walking slowly towards the stage.

Don't trip. Don't trip.

Trip. Trip. Trip.

Apparantely, her self conscience had different idea for her other than being graceful.

Remind me to deal with you later.

Great! Now she was talking to her self conscience that doesn't even exist. Smooth Bella. Smooth. Thankfully, she didn't trip upon reaching the stage. She hit herself mentally upon realizing that the Headmaster could've read everything that had happened in her mind, and so, she plastered an innocent smile, and shifted inwardly.

She took a deep breath and merely gave an inward shrug "Um....thanks Headmaster. I didn't really.....um.....think that I'd actually win a prize for wearing a dress today. Bleh....So....thanks for this, Headmaster. And I wanted to say that...um...well, I'll miss some of you who'll be leaving next year." she cleared her throat abruptly as she felt it tighten after this, and plastered an obvious attempted smile on her lips.

"So, goodbye y'all." she said it simply, yet with no simplicity edging on her words at all.[/size][/blockquote]
