Today I woke up feeling pretty great about today. Although I do have to go to the King today and meet him for the first time, everyone in the town does but one at a time to see what he thinks of his citizens, he's the new king since the old one passed away recently, and already I've heard not great things about him. I don't have much money, I mean I have enough for my house bills but I'm not as rich as everyone else, but I love everyone in this town. I put on my little paper crown and left my house to go see the king.

There was a bunch of people out today, they were walking out of their homes, same as I was. The weather was really nice today, the flowers were blooming, the sky was really blue, and it wasn't hot nor cold out it was just right.

The palace was not far from where I lived, I lived in a nice little home, its not the best but I like it, it has a purple roof and dark brown wood walls.

I finally reached the palace after taking in the view for a few minutes and my gosh was this place big, it had like 3 stories, the doors were huge and there were two guards standing next to the door. "Hes just right through these doors" the guard said

"Ok thank you sir" I said

The guard opened the doors and I walked through, and dang is it a big room. "Good Morning your highness" I said in a proper tone I think? 

"Good Morning, what is your name peasant?"

Well thats one way to talk to your citizens- "Jeff Eladrin" I stated

"Hmm..Interesting" The King said.

Interesting? What does he mean by that.

"What is that garbage on your head Jett?" The King said.

"Its uhm Jeff actually, and uhm my mom made this for me when I was little, but unfortunately she passed away a whilst ago, my dad took care of me..kind of." I said that last part a little quiet because my dad wasnt the greatest at taking care of me after my mom died, he drank a lot, but he loved me.

"Take it off and give it to me" he demanded

"Uhm ok" now I get why people already don't like him. I walked up to him, took off the crown and handed it to him

He looked at it, then looked at me with disgust and crumbled the crown and gave it to one of the guards to throw away. The guard took it, and walked past me looking at me sympathetically.

Tears welled up in my eyes but I didn't show that I was hurt by it, I looked at him angrily then turned around and stormed out towards the trash cans in the back to see if I could find it. He kept yelling at me to not turn my back on him but I didn't listen.

I walked right out the doors and bumped into the guard that was holding the crumbled up crown in his hand. He look at me, and handed it to me,"I'm really sorry he did that, here you go, I tried to fix it as best as I could" The guard said

"Thank You sir" I responded

"The names Kyle" he said

"Thank you Kyle"

"You are very welcome Jeff" and with that he said his goodbyes and went back to guarding the door. I walked back to my home, tears in my eyes. As I enetered my room I fell right asleep holding the crumbled up crown my mom made for me so long ago.
