La Douleur Exquise

Princess

"Dear diary,
I've never felt this normal."

—

First day of senior year, the day everyone has longed for since they were able to walk. The windows were down, Morgan could feel the chilly wind flowing through her hair. One of her bestfriends, Bonnie, had just gotten her license and took every single chance she could have to drive. She had offered to pick up both Morgan and Elena so they could arrive to school together.

"So, grams is telling me im psychic." the sentence surprised the freckled girl as she let out an 'oh wow' and leaned up front. "Our ancestors were from Salem, which isn't all that- I know, crazy but she's going on and on about it and I'm like- put this woman in a home already!" Morgan nodded along while Elena seemed to get a bit distracted from the 'scenery' outside.

"But then, I started thinking, I predicted Obama. And I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands."

"I dont think Florida will do that.." Morgan spoke, locking eyes with Bonnie before they both turned to Elena, who clearly wasnt listening.

"Elena!" both the girls exclaimed at the same time "back in the car?"

"I did it again, didn't I? Im sorry guys. You were telling me that.." Elena apologized

"that im psychic now." Bonnie replied, Morgan smiling behind her.

"Okay, right. Then predict something- about me."

"I see.." the witch was thinking before a bird suddenly crashed into her windshield, making her stir into the sidewalk. Two of the girls were a bit shocked, but Elena was wide eyed and speechless.

"What was that?" Morgan let out.

"Oh my god, Elena are you okay? I'm so sorry." Bonnie exclaimed, everyone knew about the tragic experience she went through about a year ago.

"yeah, im fine." she sighed, leaning her head back on the headrest.

                             —

The girls arrived at school not too long after, walking in the hallways to get to their lockers.

"Hi princess!" a couple of students greeted Morgan, who was used to the nickname. She had won some princess show a little over two years ago and the nickname had stuck. Did she feel like a princess? obviously not, she never did. But eventually she got used to being called so, and she kinda grew a liking to it.

Caroline quickly arrived, engulfing the brunette into a hug.
"Elena! Oh my god, how are you? Its so good to see you." the taller blonde then pulled away and turned over to Morgan "how is she, is she good?"

"Caroline- im right here." Elena said awkwardly. "and im fine. Thank you." she pressed her lips together.

"really?" Care made sure as the brunette nodded, before tightly hugging her once again "oh, you poor thing." she then pulled away a few seconds after. "okay, see you guys later?"

"Yeah." the princess answered as the excited girl walked away.

Elena waved her bye and then turned to the two girls "no comment."

"don't say that." Morgan hated how Bonnie and Elena treated Caroline, she thought she was the sweetest girl she had ever met. The girls ignored her and the bell rang as they all went to their classes.
