Bell of the Ball

"NATALIEA! COME HERE NOW! ITS DRESS FITTING TIME!!"

My mother screamed at me from down the hall. I had just finished up my extra credit, hopefully giving me more credits for college. The teachers have given me many recommendations in to which school I shall attend in order to have a good career.

I closed the library door and made my way to my mother's beauty room. Since there are so many empty rooms she has all her clothes and makeup in one. I'm the only one in the whole castle who doesn't have their own room just for clothes. Since their isn't a closet in the basement, I just have dressers with my nicely folded clothes.

When I walked into the room she sat on her bench, fixing the makeup she put on this morning. I have never seen her without the makeup so I have no idea what she actually looks like underneath all the stuff.

"There you are darling. Come, come, sit down while fawn gets the dress I picked out." Fawn was waiting by the closet for my mother's word. I watched as she walked through the door into another medium sized room. She rummaged around for a bit then finally walking back to us, holding the dress in her arms.

Fawn layed the dress on the chair beside me. "Now put this on." Fawn and couple other maids came towards me, pulling me behind the standing panels that were in the corner of the room. I slipped off my shirt and pants, leaving me in my undergarments. Fawn and the others lifted the dress onto me. I fixed the dress while the zipped it up and fluffed it out.

"Is the dress on yet?" Fawn lightly pushed me out from behind the panels, showing off my dress to my mother. She gasped and watching as I slowly turned, showing the whole dress. The dress was slightly puffy on the bottom half, becoming longer as it got down. There was a slit in the front, showing the front of my legs and not the back. The top was almost like a tank top, that just rested nicely along my shoulders and neck. Around my chest was all laced but underneath was almost like a corset type thing.

"Its beautiful! This is what your wearing tonight. Oh and we have to do your nails, also give you some rings and a necklace." My mother started rambling on about what I would wear and how it's be the bell of the ball tonight. Fawn and the other ladies rushed around the room giving ideas for jewelry and such. I stood in front of the mirror, looking at myself in the dress. My red hair flowed down, adding more to the dresses perfection.

After choosing the jewelry my mother let me go back to my room. The dress was hung back up, waiting for me to wear later tonight. The days leading up to this night I've been so nervous. I have no idea what my soon-to-be husband looks like. My father says that he's the prince in America and also sings. I guess that'll be nice to be with someone who sings. Even though I'd rather be with someone that I love with time.

To calm my nerves I've been out in the garden with Scott. We've gotten closer this past week and I'm quite enjoying it. I feel as if I can tell him anything. I'm considering about telling him about the ball tonight. Maybe he can come and he'll be my person to be away from my husband. I'll have to ask him this afternoon.

Since the ball isn't until later tonight, I have all day to use my freedom before my world crashes. Caleb doesn't have the time to hang out with me since he's too busy planning his speech for tonight. At every ball since he was 12, dad has made him give a speech about family and keeping promises. Stuff to help the other royals see that Caleb will be a good king. Griffin hates that he doesn't give a speech but father says only true men give speeches, not pussy's.

I headed to the garden in hopes of seeing Scott again. We've been talking alot more and I'm starting to see why girls hover around him. We went out once with his father to get something for his wife's birthday. All the girls followed us around almost the whole time. When we stopped to eat in the food Cort, Scott yelled at then to go away and let us have our privacy. He right away apologized to me for yelling, I understand why he yelled though. It was rude what they were doing.
