Ale (Aleena)
Bell (Bellamy)

Aleena POV : It was Saturday..another Saturday filled with etiquette classes and corset fittings. Another draining day of preparing for my 'future lover'. Well..to whom that shall be exactly I would not happen to know. Howeve-

Maid 1: "Miss Aleena, your mother would like you down in the garden in 5".

Aleena POV: I sighed. Stretching my tightened limbs as I stood up from my bed and gathered up my messy hair in a pin up. And made my way out of my room with my cold feet in my slippers.

Aleena: "I will be down in a moment, thank you Mrs Ash".

Aleena POV: I rushed down the spiral stairs accidentally bumping into my little sister. Bellamy.

Bell: "ahh! Aleena, mother told you not to always be in such a rush".
-Bellamy said as she patted down her gown and removed a piece of her hair out of her mouth with her silk glove-
Ale: " I know, I know but you know how mother is. She'd ban me from buying books for a week and I cannot afford to stress from that as my birthday is in less than a week".
-I shrugged quickly rushing out in the garden leaving Bellamy stressed-

Bellamy POV: I huffed, shaking my head as I walked out in the garden after her as I saw Aleena make her way to mother, who was sat on the bench with our dog Rue.

Aleena: "Mother, I heard you called for me." -I said standing over her as she sat petting Rue. And smiled gently as she looked up at me-
Mother: "Oh, yes! Dear I did, I wanted to inform you an- oh hello my darling Bellamy!" -mother paused as she turned to her other side to see Bellamy standing besides me-
Bell: "Good morning mother."
Ale: "Yes, morning mother, but what is it you was about to say?"
Mother: "Well my darlings, I wanted to inform you about the changes for the masquerade ball."
Bell: "Welllll..?!" -Bellamy continued, with eager eyes-
Mother: "the ball with be now done on Monday.."
Ale: "Pardon, Monday?!" -my eyes widened as both my mother and sister smiled in joy-
Mother: "Quite down."
Ale: "Mother. Monday is my birthday and I cannot deal to spend it with hundreds of ignorant people who only care for wealth and booze".
Bell: "Well you better prepare..pretty!" -Bellamy grinned staring at my morning hair and my creased gown-
Mother: "Oh hush Aleena we will have a splendid time, do not stress you need to keep a positive attitude because I will not have you attending smiling classes now". -she shook her head as she joked.

Aleena POV: I smiled sarcastically at my mother's remark as I bowed making my way back inside the house, followed by Rue.
