"AVA!!"
"Yes..."
"OOHH NOW YOU ANSWER!!"
"I'm sorry, what do you want?"
"You have a gala today."
"Ugh when will these galas end," I mutter under my breath.. my mom hears me and says,
"Well you have another one for your birthday on Friday, then after that you get one every week."
Good thing I'll be gone by Friday. I'll be with my mom, and there's nothing she can say to stop me.
"Yeah well see you later."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry, was I not clear? See you later."
"You are not allowed out the house!"
"Says who?"
"YOUR MOTHER!"
"Good thing she's not here."
I walk away, strutting at her annoyed face. I know that is risky, but she was really annoying me. What's better? I punch her, or I shoot a risky comment? That's what I thought.
I hop on my bike and I head over to Chloes house. We have been texting back and forth. Today I get to finally meet her Mom!!
"Hey Clo!!"
"Hey Ava! This is my Mom."
I look up to her Mom. She has deep blue eyes unlike Chloe's brown eyes. The inside of her eyes start moving, like waves. Just like James's eyes.... Is she a mermaid too??
"You can uhm, call me Ms. Treble."
She takes me in. Chloe and I ate and joked around all day watching movies. It was nice. But at the end of the day, Chloe's mom grabs me and says,
"Don't tell anyone."
I just simply nod. What does she mean by 'don't tell anyone??'
I go back home and it's around 6, just in time for the gala. I never miss them, I know what would happen if I did.. Instead of putting on my simple dress, I reach for a slightly better dress. What am thinking?? Well, to be honest, I'm thinking about James. I think I fancy him..
I still reach for the dress when the Queen comes in.
"Why the change of mind Ava? Do you finally want to see me NOT cry?"
"Nahh I just want to wear it for.."
I don't know what to say. If I say for James, she might want me to marry him. Not that I don't want to, but I don't know if my mom wants me to marry. And plus I'm too young to marry. I guess I have to go along with what she says. Like the journal told me to do. "Sure, yeah. I want to 'please' you."
We arrive at the event. It's less formal than the other one, it reminds me of a club.
Out of the corner of my eye I spot James. His dark chocolate hair is combed down, which reveals his handsome sea blue eyes. They stare down in my soul, which made me nervous before, but now they excite me. He walks over to me, smirking. Does he know I like him??
"Hello miss Ava.."
"H-hello James. Nice to see you again"
"It's always a pleasure.."
He kisses my hand. I blush at his gesture. What am I doing?? Ava does NOT blush at guys. Great now I'm talking in third person.
I take my hand from his grasp and I look up. I shouldn't of!! But I do.. I see his beautiful eyes and I wonder what my mom would think of me dating a palace guard.
