First, Alexander was bathed, the water was cold and soapy, and then the maids dressed him, first, they put a corset on him, and then they slipped a frilly poet's shirt on his body along with some beige-colored pants, then tied a jabot around his neck, and lastly slipped some buckled shoes on his feet, maryme and alexander went back to alexanders room and sat at his vanity, maryme standing behind alexander brushing his hair asks, " how do you want your hair, I'm awesome so I can do anything. alexander chuckled and then said, " can it be fluffy. and fluffy it was, the bell has rung and it was now time for the meet and greet, alexander and maryme played for so long that Alexander forgot to eat. " oh no, I'm sorry Alexander since you couldn't eat I will make you something extra for dinner, maryme says as she and alexander sprint thru the halls trying to hurry up and get to the ballroom, which is where the meet and greet is being held.
They run into the ballroom panting and out of breath, maryme dusts Alexander off and then says, "You got this remember everyone here is also new so don't be afraid, now go socialize!, she says pushing him into the middle of the floor. other than Alexander there were about fourteen people in the room, as soon as maryme left the room Alexander could feel this weird feeling creeping over his head, alexanders ears were flooded by noise, sound waves hitting him like a hammer, he turned around, and on the right side of the room there was a door, he ran to it, his senses blurred, it almost felt like time had slowed down, finally he got out of the room, the door slammed behind him. He seemed to be in the corridor of the mansion, though since he had never been out of his room(besides the bathroom) he didn't know where he was, the talking of the other children muffled, Alexander had his back against the door, he slid onto the floor. Quite upset he knew this would not have happened if his sister had been by his side.
Alexander felt a push on the door, a girl calling out to him, "Hello, is anyone there" Alexander jumped up moving away from the door, the girl walked out, her sun-kissed hair shone like a crown, glistening like melted gold, she a wore an up-do with a purple headband complementing it, she was dressed in a big fluffy gown colored with violet, baby-blue and gold accents. " are you alright? you ran out of the room looking so terribly frightened, I was puzzled on whether I should check on you or not". Alexander's heartbeat started to slow, and he was beginning to calm down, "I'm quite fine thank you,I think I just had a bit of a fright, nothing too serious", the girl then said clapping her hands together," splendid, I was hoping so", bowing, she said," my name is maria Pembroke, how about you.
