2| A Ball

Maya Pov.

I barely got any sleep last night. The hard cold floor was all I had. I only has a thin sheet they decided to throw at me in the middle of the night.

I struggled to stay awake while wiping down the counter. Every now and then I would feel myself falling asleep while standing.

"Oh my angels have you heard of the ball tonight!" Said my step mother while entering the kitchen.

"I know mother it's going to be a blast." Said Missy following behind her.

"There's a ball tonight?" I asked.

They both looked at each other then at me and started to laugh union.

"Your so crazy darling if you thought that we would have taken you to the ball!" My mother said still laughing.

"But I just have been working so hard and- " she quickly cut me off.

"Honey... look at you. You don't belong with those kind of people. Your sister , brother and I are going because we actually have some class. Unlike you who wears rags around the house."

"These rags are all that is in my closet!"

"Because they suit you. Your a servant not people like us. Now go clean the pool."

I put my head down and frowned. "Yes mama." I said and left the kitchen.

-----

I sat on my bed all alone. Everyone had left for the ball leaving me in this huge house all by myself. I wish they treated me better. Maybe if I worked harder then they'll actually treat me better.

I tapped my chin and sighed. Oh forget it they have been treating me like this for years. I rather be living in a pigs pen with mud and other pigs than this. The mud will at least be warm and the pigs would be fed properly.

What do I get while I'm living here? A bowl a soup per day. If I want any other food I'll eat the leftovers of my "family".

"I wish I could go to the ball."

Poof!
