soulmates

introduction

Maya's pov:
I woke up as I heard the birds whistling outside of my window. Lmao jk I actually woke up to all the workers yelling out to one another instead. I rubbed my eyes and reached for my phone on my table. It read 12:46 noon.

I groaned, today I had to go dress shopping which meant I had to get fitted for the dress and then go shoe shopping. Yes I know you probably think that every princess loves to shop well that's not true. Shopping is not my thing, but my parents are doing their annual ball that they host every year. So I have to look perfect according to them. They always talk about how I could meet my soulmate and all that shit. I'm pretty positive no one would even want to be with me since everyone thinks I'm a stuck up bitch which honestly I'm not.

I forced myself to get up and get ready for the big day ahead of me. I was really glad that my parents had all the maids busy with the ball planning and decorating or else by now they would have one of them rushing in here so they could dress me. If you ask me it's super annoying like I'm not 5 I can dress myself. I pulled out a white/cream knee high dress. If I had the choice I would just go out in blue jeans and a t shirt but sadly I can't. My mom would send me instantly back into my room and force to me to change, No joke.  She only lets me wear jeans on rare occasions and when I say rare, I mean rare.

I took my night gown off and then pulled the dress over my head. I struggled for a few minutes trying to get it all on me. I then walked to my closet of shoes or as I like to call it 'heaven'. I am obsessed with shoes if you didn't know. I figured some white wedges would go pretty good with my white dress so I pulled those out of the rack. I walked back out of 'heaven' and sat down on my bed. I slipped on the wedges and then went into the bathroom to apply my make up and do my hair. I decided today was a day where I would go easy on the make up so I applied some peachy lip gloss, light orange/gold eye shadow and mascara. I searched for my curling wand in the cabinet and then plugged it in to heat up. I waited for at least 10 minutes to get it hot enough. I curled my hair lightly so I would just have waves.
I unplugged it and ventured outside of my room into the kitchen. My parents were already sitting at the table chattering. They must've heard me enter since they turned around in their seats in my direction.
"Good afternoon honey." My mom said. I smiled at her and walked over to where she was seated. I leaned down and gave her a kiss. I walked over to my dad and also gave him a kiss.
"You look beautiful sweetie." My dad told me as I sat in a seat across from him. I smiled.
"Thank you. What is for lunch?"
"You haven't even ate breakfast yet are you crazy?" My mom questioned me. I tried to not roll my eyes.
"It is 1 in the afternoon mom. Breakfast has already past now it is time for lunch." My mom looked disgusted. I just ignored her.
"A princess must never miss a meal."
"Mom it doesn't matter if I miss a meal. I was doing something important anyways."
"And what would that be?"
"Sleeping." I looked at her clearly annoyed.
"Well then." She called for lunch. The staff that worked for my family served us some fancy sandwich that I don't even know what it is and salads.
"Are you ready for the big ball tomorrow? You know maybe at tomorrow's ball you'll finally meet your soul..." I cut my dad off.
"Don't even say it."
"...mate." I groaned.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Stephen that is tomorrow. Today is shopping day. Aren't you excited maya?" My mom asked me with an exciting tone.
"Very." I said sarcastically. You would think by now after 18 years she would know I hate shopping.
"Great. We will leave at 3:00 exact." So apparently she didn't catch the whole sarcastic tone like she never does. I just nodded my head as I finished up my food. For the rest of the time my parents just talked about the ball which got quite annoying. I don't even think they knew I got up to leave the dining room. I just sighed. They were honestly way too caught up in their royal status's. Most people would say I was also, but it's just a little thing I call acting. If you actually know me you would know I could care less about this whole princess thing. Honestly I would be perfectly fine living as a normal person. But enough about that now.
I walked down to my favorite place in the world, the forgotten garden, as I like to call it. The history behind it is basically that it was a thriving, huge garden years ago, but was forgotten and left alone until I discovered it. Ever since I found it I've began to make the garden thrive again and it's so beautiful. I have art easels, paints, paint brushes, drawing pads (basically anything you need for art XD) and then my little animal friends that somehow found the garden just like I had. I always come here for peace and relaxation. The only people that I know of that know about this garden is my closest friend, Eleanor who works for
my parents, and of course myself. If my parents are ever looking for me she comes and tells me. I don't really want them finding out about me going here because more than likely they'll shut it up or rant on about how I could be doing better things with my life.
