Country Princess

Chapter 4

Chapter Four

I glared at them, as I walked past them. Which only made their laughter worse.

"Continue laughing and I'll slap you both. And it don't care if you're both royalty!" I shot at them angrily.

They were still laughing at me when I got to the door. I took the clipboard, with thousands of names on it, off the tabletop. As if on when the doorbell rang. It was my other royal friend.

"Princess Emily" I said checking their names off the list "And who is this?"
"This is Prince Leo" she said cheerfully
"Ok you guys are all set. Welcome" I said checking his name off the list.

Emily is Mexican with curly dark brown hair and is 5'7 she had brown eyes and white skin with a tan look. She is 13 years old. Her friend or boyfriend is 5'6 and he has short black hair. He is also Mexican and has brown eyes. I have never heard of either of those princes, yet again they do come from different islands. Just as soon as I showed them to Olivia for a tour, the doorbell went off. I shrugged at Olivia and walked off in the direction of the door. I was just about to open it when they suddenly burst in.

"Excuse me who are you?" I said half nicely and half angry
"Oh right you people are the ones with the check in" the big man remarked nastily
"I'm sorry sir, but I don't remember you saying your name." I was just trying to do my job with little fight.
"King Michael and this is Queen Michelle" he said gruffly
"Ok thank you" I said while curtsying

While he was walking away all I could think of was how rude he was just to barge in and yell at me. Then I heard his gruff voice down the hall.

"Wow they hired a younger maid. Where did their princess go? And why was their maid dressed up?"
"I don't know, but I wouldn't worry about her being here any longer she was really rude and yelled at us for barging in." A tiny voice said. Must be the Queen.
"Well first of all that was the Princess and not the maid and second of all you do not barge into royal castles." A strong, gentle voice said. In the moment I knew instantly. Olivia.
"Oh well looks here, seems like their maid has no respect." He said
"Yea I hope you get fired for being so bold"

That continued for five minutes. Finally I got mad and couldn't take it anymore. I stormed off in that direction fuming. By the time I got there they were about to beat Olivia for being so rude. Poor Olivia had to hold me back along with 10 cooks. I was just about to break free from their grip when my dad came in. He told me to go back to my job and he would talk to them. Of course I could hear them lying right through their teeth. My dad said something I wasn't expecting.

"Oh she just suddenly attacked us the cooks had to hold her back. We have no idea why she would do such a thing." The King said
"No. You're flat out lying. She did nothing wrong, you did." My dad said to them
"Sir I do not know what you are talking about."
"First of all I'm a king and second of all you are banned from these premises forever for lying and barging in. However, your son will be allowed to be let in. Goodbye." My father said very powerfully

Wow did he just say that to them? My mind was racing. They had a son? How old was he? It didn't really matter anyways because no boys were my age and of they were they were taken. And a perfect example of that would be like Carly and Emily. I looked over my shoulder to see them talking and laughing together. Lucky ducks I thought to myself. I sighed as I took my position at the door again. I soon saw the fuming King and Queen heading at a fast pace towards the door. I opened it up for them.

"Goodbye!" I said very cheerfully as I waved at them

The King turned around and slapped my face. I instantly fell to the ground. I looked up to see the guards removing them from the premise. Them I heard familiar laughing. Great Carly and Emily are laughing. Then I heard different laughing. Oh well that's all just fantabulous. That's Leo and Derrick's laughter. I sat still on the ground. Mainly because I was embarrassed and still slightly stunned. Suddenly I felt hands on my trying to help me up. Olivia. How did I know? She was always there for me.

"What happened? Why are you on the floor? Why are your friends pointing and laughing at you?"
"I said goodbye to the King and Queen, and the King turned around and slapped my face. They are pointing and laughing at me because I got slapped and fell." I replied
"Oh well that's not very nice. I'll go clean you up."
"That won't be necessary Olivia that's ok."

Olivia looked at me with concern. She shrugged and walked off towards Carly and Emily. I instantly knew she was going to talk to them. I turned away and focused on the line of people outside the door. It took awhile to check the list of all the kings and queens of different places. They were all anxious to go have fun at the ball. I was happy to find out I completed the list, I did one last check to see if I missed anyone. And sure enough I did. I stared at the lonely name. All of a sudden it clicked in my brain, he was the King Michael and Queen Michelle's son. It was 7:30. Wow that took a long time to check people in. I was about to turn away when the doorbell rang, I rushed over to open it. I sighed of disappointment when I saw it was only a castle guard.

"Ma'am I would like to report that there is no one else coming." He said kindly
I sadly sighed. "Thank you, you may go now."

I turned sadly back into the castle. I was walking back towards the stairs to go fix myself up, when the doorbell rang. The door creaked open and I saw the guards change positions. I continued up the stairs, and straight into my bedroom. I walked into the bathroom and sat down to fix my makeup and hair. When I was done I left and went to go down stairs. When I was halfway down, the door rang. I sped up my pace, and opened the door. There was this boy standing there staring at me. I picked up the clipboard and searched for the last name. And there it was. Oliver. Then my mind went crazy because I didn't have manners. Prince Oliver. Suddenly I panicked.

"Prince Oliver, right?" I asked as I did a little curtsy.
"Yes, but please don't call me that." He replied forcefully
"Ok I'm sorry" suddenly I got the feeling he was like me.
"It's fine."
"Oh I'm so sorry! Please do come in" I said panicked

We awkwardly walked over to where Carly, Derrick, Leo, and Emily were standing. We all started talking for awhile until I was told to go over to the center of the floor. Oh right I have to make a speech. It took 20 minutes to finish the speech. When I was done I walked over to the group, only to find they were talking like old friends. I smiled warmly, that made me very happy. As soon as I reached the group, they all got quiet. I was really confused.

"Why did you guys stop talking when I walked up?" I asked them
"Oh no reason our conversation just ended that's all." Derrick Told me
"Ok then, well..." I was stuttering and blushing and I could feel it. "I.. Uh.." Wow Mackenzie, wow way to keep calm. "I hope you're having fun." Wow that was fabulous.
"We are" they answered in unison.
"Well now I'm here so... Yay?" I said very awkwardly.
"Yea. I think we are all glad you are here." Oliver said as he looked from me to the rest of the group.
"Well I'm going to the kitchen really quick" I said
"Ok" again, geez all in unison again

I was walking away really fast towards the kitchen. I accidentally ran into a cook carrying out punch. I quickly got up and ran to get a rag. And ran onto Olivia. She looked at my dress, and shrugged. The punch got on the side of it, but not that much. I sighed and laughed a little, and walked off with three towels. When I got to the punch my friends were standing around the mess.
