And I couldn't believe them because no number of coats and cleaning up could hide my ugliness, it was hard every time I had to say no to her,
"Hmm"
" Maybe I will if you become a princess", I said smiling
"Mommy will make me look like a princess right mummy " she asked looking back at Ivy who gave her the broad smile as she always did, "of course "Ivy replied
"So will you come?" she asked again, she was a real troublemaker with her questions and smile,with her cute face and adorable blonde hair, pretending to hear something outside
" I think Aga is calling you" I said
"Really?"
" sure, he wants you to come and play with him "
Hearing that she quickly ran out of the house forgetting about her question as the little girl liked the creature very much, after she left,Ivy asked as if smiling at me
"Are you coming to the festival with us Marcus ?"
I knew Ivy detested the idea of going with them but her pretends always make me angry
"You know I can't go"
" okay "
sometimes it pissed me off that she would pretend to care about me except disgracing, she didn't even ask why, with that I went to my room after about they called me for lunch when everyone was seated ,my uncle began to give account to his wife about how he was going to sell the horses at the party, my uncle had the respect of all the village elders even the king of Algeria himself as some say, this always made me wonder what my father was like
" Have you prepared your cloths?" I heard my uncle ask as l buried my head in the food, the ladies said yes but he stared at me,
"No,I mean you, Marcus" surprised, I raised my head
" Uhh no" I replied
"What, why?" he glared
"You can't skip this one out "
"Uncle I don't wanna go"
"Darling,Marcus is a teenager now, am sure he has his reasons" this time it was ivy who cherped in
Uncle Fred was always like a wild beast when he was angry or anoyed but ivy always seemed to calm him down with her words and soothings
"Fine,but we have to talk after the festival"
After lunch I laid on my bed thinking of what is about to happen tonight at the party, the fireworks, the chatting and everything, and
Mirinder"huhh" i gasped at the thought of her name , she had never noticed me and I didn't have the courage to tell her the truth, thinking about it I began to compare her wth the princess from earlier and damn the princess was a whole new level of beauty
Mirinder was beautiful but the princess was like the queen of perfection, I mean its hard to even believe she was even born,she had the kind of looks that you would never get tired of looking at, i saw a messanger bird fly in through the window interupting my thoughts messanger birds were usually sent by guys and girls to deliver letters to their other halfs
'Who could it be?' I thought
