Elena is all up in her room already, she's on the balcony dressed in a white nightgown smiling at the stars in the sky thinking of how much of an amazing night she had. The best night she has ever had in her life. After eating she danced with the others which was so much fun. She's going to be thinking about this moment for a pretty long time.
For years she has been obsessed with the royal family back on earth but she has to say, the royal family in this part of England looks way better than the one in the human world.
Look at her, she has just spent a night with them and she thinks they're better, what if they have dark secrets that no one knows about? Every family has secrets but she just hopes it's not the kind that will make her want to drift away from the family. She didn't come here for any drama, she came here because she wants to learn more about her powers and to be with her family.
Immediately after the ball. Adele and the maids came to help her pack up for school tomorrow, she's a bit nervous but overly excited at the same time. She gets to go to a magical school. Her own Hogwarts.
She leaves the balcony and heads over to the bed where her uniform for tomorrow is laid. The uniform is in her own style and it fits her perfectly. Turns out pixie dust can make any outfit fit you, it's magic and magic is beautiful. She tries to picture herself in the uniform and she smiles. This uniform looks way better than the uniform in her school back on earth. She is going to miss that school though.
She takes the uniform from the bed and lays it carefully on the couch. Then she picks up her new phone which is powered by magic and technology which is the case for most things here.
She has downloaded the social media accounts like Pixtagram, Pheonix and MeTube. These are just parallel social media accounts of the ones on earth but they're way better. The quality is good and not annoying and confusing to use.
She posted the picture of herself at the ball in her gown and she already got up to ten thousand likes, twenty thousand followers and a star next to her profile. Which means she's verified.
"Bloody hell!" she exclaims. But wait a minute she hadn't seen that there before, this is new. Where the hell is Alex when you need him?
A knock on the door. Perfect timing.
"Come in!" she yells at the door. And in comes her best friend in a black shirt and grey sweatpants.
"Hello, princess I see you are already verified." he jumps on her bed. "How does it feel?" he waggles his eyebrows.
"It feels so good. I never thought I'd be verified. Well, I did think I'd be verified on a social media account at some point but I didn't think I'd be verified now." she smiles and takes a look at the account again shaking her head in disbelief she looks at the star for so long as if waiting for the star to either disappear or grow bigger.
She loves that people like the dress she wore to the ball and the amount of comments coming in telling her how beautiful she is. But that was never really the purpose of social media. The whole purpose was to use her platform to make a change. Back at home that was what she did, she didn't just post pictures she also spoke out on political issues which is something she's going to do here, if there is one. This world does have a witch problem. She can't help but think about Queen Sofia, that poor girl who became Queen at eighteen because her parents were killed by witches. Now that's an issue.
"I'm not just going to be using my social media for fun," she says to Alex who is looking around her room.
"Yes, I know Elena. Always the activist."
Elena tilts her head at him smiling. Alex spots her uniform on the couch.
"I see you're ready for school tomorrow," he says and then Elena looks at the uniform on the couch.
"I'm a bit nervous," Elena says and Alex waves her off.
"There's nothing to be nervous about really. You're all good."
Elena finally sits. Of all the things in her mind, there's one thing that stands out to her. The fact that Pierre might still have feelings for Anastasia and how a perfect charming guy like Pierre could have gotten his heart broken. But she shouldn't be thinking about this for too long because she just met Pierre.
"What's on your mind? Spill it now." Alex says. And she wants to tell Alex what has been bothering her, but it's not that serious. She doesn't know if she should even say it. She tells Alex everything, Alex is not just her best friend, but her brother. They grew up together.
"It's Pierre," she says finally and Alex chuckles.
"You really like him don't you?"
"No! Yes! I mean I don't-ugh, I just wonder if he still has feelings for Anastasia."
"Oh, is it because he defended her when I called her the wicked snow princess? Pierre is done with Anastasia, he has been wanting to break up with her for a very long time now and he finally had a reason when she cheated on him."
Something lights up in Elena. "Really?"
"Yes, Elena really. Trust me he does not want to be with Anastasia anymore because Pierre is not a bully but Anastasia is."
"How did those two even end up dating each other?"
"Well, Anastasia was never like this. It was after her parents got killed that she became ice cold. No pun intended. She used to be a sweet butterfly and then after the ninth grade she became as stone cold as anything and became a bully. But she still hosts the best parties though."
"Hmm," Elena says. That's the only thing she has to say.
"So yeah if you want that sexy French elf then you can have him."
"Oh shut up Alex." They both burst into laughter. She doesn't think she should date anyone just yet. Yes, Pierre is handsome and she wants to date him but she has other things to focus on like her powers and how to use them in battle. She doesn't want to be a meal for the vampires and a pawn for the witches or any dark creatures.
Maybe when she figures herself out she can date him. Royal fairies can date outside their race but they cannot get married outside their race or get pregnant with someone outside their race. If they get pregnant then the pregnancy must be terminated. She doesn't see marriage with Pierre just dating him.
She can't believe she's thinking of dating someone else when she's been with Nick for a long time. Now with Nick, she has thought of getting married to him even though she knew about the possibility of leaving that planet someday.
She's done thinking about marriage, she's done thinking about dating boys.
"Now, you do what you came here to do and help me set up my other social media accounts."
"What? You can't do that?"
"You know you were the one who helped me set up my social media accounts back on earth"
"Wow, you sound like a Gen Xer." Alex laughs and Elena scowls at her best friend. Alex sees her scowling and he laughs some more. "Alright come on I'll show you how they do it." Alex takes Elena's phone from her and goes to Phoenix which is just like Twitter and the two look at the screen as Alex teaches her how to login to the app.
