Dinner is in a big room in the east wing of the building , the stares behind my back are making my skin itch , I feel uncomfortable and out of place.
Felicie makes me sit next to her and a girl named Madison , we chat a little bit and I meet other girls , they all seem really nice , despite all the starring. I guess they're not used to being in the same room as royalty. What does that even mean anyway ?
" My mom bought me this Chanel skirt , for like 1500 dollars and I was like ... why ? It's not even my birthday or something ... " I hear the girl sitting in front of me say to her friend.
I can hear every conversation in the room , it's disturbing . I try and think of something else. That first time I had real friends who didn't want me from my money . That first time I fell in love with someone who didn't even think about the crown near my head. It's all I always want , for people to like me for who I am , for people to see something else. Because in the end , being princess isn't a privilege . It's a punishment . And I can't escape .
" Nellie ? "
Snapping out of my train of thoughts , I gaze at Felicie , " Yeah ? "
" There's a party tonight . For you and Wilhelm ."
I nod, and swallow the lump in my throat. " Oh ? "
" Yeah , August organized it... "
I nod again , not knowing what to do instead. " M'Kay , sure . I'll be there. "
I love to party , it's something I always loved. Even when my brother was the only one I knew at a party I loved dancing , and drinking , brushing past the people and feeling like in a kaleidoscope. In those moments I could be anyone , because no one could see my face in the flashing lights , I would put the simplest outfit on and pretend like I was Kelly from a little flat in the suburbs . It made me feel so nice , the play-pretend inside my head.
｡･:*˚:✧｡
In class the next morning , I sit next to Wille . I drop my notebooks and my pens loudly on the table and my brother raises a brow at me.
