☆SCARLETT THE DAUGHTER OF LIGHTNING☆

Chapter III: The Welcoming Ceremony

Surprisingly, it didn't take too long to find the girls as they were just around the corner. "Girls, why were you all acting so horrible towards that poor girl!?" I exclaimed, staring them down.

"Well, sorry, but there is no possible way she could be a ever, evers are supposed to be nice, clean and pretty," Beatrix said softly while the other girls nodded in reply.

"Maybe that girl can't afford the colourful dresses, and evers are not all about appearances, but kindness and compassion. All of you should start showing kindness rather than prejudice!" I said loud and proudly, the weather outside seemed to be turning dull almost like it was thunder must be the nevers up to their wicked ways.

"Uh, sorry Hildy we'll be nicer next time," Reena said, stuttering a bit.

"Moving on. Come, the ceremony is about to begin soon. Hurry, so we can get the best seats!" Beatrix spoke excitingly, skiping quickly to the hall she grabbed my arm and dragged me along with her.

At this point now I gave in, I couldn't possibly hold a grudge against my new friends that wouldn't be right; I was pretty desperate to make some friends.

The weather outside quickly became bright and sunny. How does the weather go from grey and dull to bright and happy. I looked over to the nevers side, and of course there they were, glaring at me and the evers.

I gave them a happy smile, which made them gag and walk away. I win, good always does. I don't think that was a battle or a fight, but it was something.

The deans arrived, and the Dovey then began "SEATS EVERYONE-"

when the other Dean interrupted "SIT DOWN NOW."

Everyone quickly ran to their seats as I sat down. I noticed on the other side that there was a girl with long golden blonde hair and fair skin she looked like a princess.

"Bea? Do you see that never the one that sticks out like a sore thumb?" I pointed out. Beatrix started giving me nicknames, I thought it would be nice if I did the same.

"Her? If she is on that side, then she is definitely a never look at her clothes, maybe her looks are her way into decieve others," she answered then moving her attention to the two deans.

I began believing her. "I suppose your righ-" I was interrupted by professor Dovey's loud announcement.

"GENTLEMEN!", Suddenly the doors flung open and princes started dancing out with their swords I'll have to admit it was quite funny all the other princesses were falling all over with them. The princesses squeals filled the entire hall. I looked down and saw Agatha covering her ears as Kiko squealed in her ear.

Eventually, the princes finished their sword fighting dance routine they stood up tall and threw a rose at a princess who caught their eye. Surprisingly, I got two roses, and Beatrix had a whole bouquet of roses, she squealed in delight.

I looked over to see Kiko's rose had been through a lot, and Agatha didn't have any. I gently tapped them on the shoulder and gave them mine.

"Oh no Hildegarde we can't take those they're yours," Agatha said politely declining Kiko on the other hand.

"Thank you Hildegarde that's very good of you," Kiko said quickly snatching the rose from my hand.

"Now you can't refuse here, take it." I insisted she took it and thanked me.

As I sat back up, I saw another boy burst through the doors and exclaim, "If you boys are finished with your dance practice, how about you like to have a real fight."

With that cockieness and that halo of golden blonde hair that boy is the one and only, "TEDROS, ITS TEDROS," Kiko shrieked in delight.

As he unsheathe his sword, halfway, he sheathed it back and put his fist up.
