Everything was fine until Arabella's parents decided to send her to a rich private school in France because they're never around. And suddenly she has dorms, a whole group of friends, a locker that's impossible to open, and the bad boy that never ta...
After an hour of shuffling through my clothes, I finally settled on an outfit. It's a short black dress with slight puff sleeves. The puff sleeves add a bit of youth so my parents don't think that I turned into a stripper from the last time I saw them. I paired the dress with a gold necklace, some rings, and my black Gucci heels.

Usually, I live in my Air Forces (I know basic) but they're super comfy. But when the parents are here I pull out the designer shoes they bought me for Christmas. Once my mom caught me wearing my Air Forces in some magazine and the next day I had five pairs of designer sneakers at my front door.
I check the time on my phone and crap it's 7:54. I feed my cat Oreo grab my bag and head out the door. I stand outside in my uncomfortable heels waiting for the limo. How I wish I could be back in my bed snuggling with Oreo and listening to Taylor Swift.
The limo arrives right on time and gets to the restaurant at 8:30. I thank my driver and head outside. I stand in front of Lafayette take a deep breath and walk inside. As I expected everyone's already at the table. I hit some traffic so I came a little late.
As I walk over to the table the twins came running over smothering me with hugs. I pick them up and place them on both sides of my hips and kiss their cheeks. And I carry them over to the table.
Once I get to the seats I place both the twins down. "Arabella you look so beautiful!!" "Thank you Emmie you look gorgeous". And she did. She wore a navy blue silk dress with hoop earings and white heels.

Once I hugged my brother and Emmie I made my way over to my parents. I hugged my dad first. " Hi princess you look pretty". "Thank you father". Then I walked over to the person I dredded to meet the most. My mother.
She did a sorta hug thing. It's kinda like when you don't want to hug someone but yet you have to. Thats what her hugs felt like. Cold. "Arabella" my mother said. "Hi mother". She squeezed the little arm fat I've developed from the last time I saw her. It took all of me not to hiss out in pain. She did this every time. No one notices. She pretends to hug me but secretly pinches wherever I have any fat.
Usally I get notice for when she comes so I starve myself with just water for like two weeks. And the night before I make myself throw up whats remaining. She eventually lets me go and I make my way over to where I'm sitting.
I try to make some small talk with my mother while we waited for the server to come but I kept getting one worded answers. Thats what she does when she's disappointed in me.
How was New York? - Fine
Where are you headed to next? - Italy
Oh that's fun when? - In two days
How long are you guys staying for? - 3 weeks
Thank the heavens because our server came right after that question. And I need some fettuccine alfredo to help me survive throughout this dinner. It's the best I've ever had.
"Hi welcome to Lafayette I'm Caroline and I'll be serving you today. What can I get you guys?"
After my dad, brother, and Emmie gave their orders it was my turn.
"I'll have the fettuc-"
"She'll have the Ceaser salad no dressing"
That of course was my mom and I just lost my appetite for everything. She didn't even give me dressing.
The food later arrived and I started chomping on plain green leaves. Emmie tried so hard to give me some of her Salmon but I kept declining. Knowing that my mother would dissaprove.
"Arabella" my father said. "Your mother and I have something to tell you"
"What is it?" I questioned
"Your mother and I have decided to send you to Dalton private school for the prestige."
"You will be moving to France this coming month..."
