The weeks leading up to the exams are busy. Shortly after the Queen Mother's Advisor left I received a letter from the Queen, it said my request had been granted. That there had been a 'miscommunication' about the return to the Palace. Of course, it had not been a miscommunication, but I was just happy to be able to return to school for a little while longer.
I have my final exam tomorrow. Most of my friends are relieved. I am not, I want to turn back time. But that is impossible. The days after the exams will be full of preparations. Then once everything is ready, I will return to the Palace before heading to the Foreverlands.
I know I won't be myself anymore. I cannot be vulnerable, so I will wear armor until it becomes apart of me. I will not be just June, I will be a lady. I'll have to set a good example. I will be somebody else, but I do't want to lose myself along the way.
It all seems so impossible. There is a swarm of angry wasps in my stomach, I feel sick with anxiety. I'm angry too. Angry at myself for feeling this way, I have had sixteen years to prepare myself and here I am, being eaten alive by wasps. I'm angry at the Queen Mother too, for dragging me into this life. I'm not angry at the Queen though, she is going through something similar on a whole other level to me.
We're not allowed to contact each other, so I hope we are still friends. Hopefully we still get on, otherwise it is going to be miserable.
I collapse into bed, exhausted. I'm prepared for my exam, but not what comes after.
