Another World

CHAPTER 6

Chapter 6

''Okay. Just be careful! There are lots of dangers out there!" he says. I know there's lots of danger out there but nothing a princess can't handle? I walk to my room and here and there I trip. I'm still getting used to the feeling of walking after five years. I think I'm doing pretty well! As I walk to my room, I look out the window to see that Quinton is in his room. Suddenly I feel this urge to rush to my window and speak with him. I enter through the door and my instinct is to stare out the window next to my bed and to see if he's still in his room. He is! I sit on my bed and just stare at him. He looks at me and then smiles. What the flip! To change the atmosphere I start packing my bags too. As I start looking for a pair of heels, something hits the floor underneath the window. It's a rock with what looks like a letter tied to it. I pick the letter up and don't dare look out the window again. The letter reads:

Hi Isabelle

This is so weird! I can't believe this is happening! I wonder what the kingdom looks like? Imagine all the chandeliers! What do you think about all of this?

I must say, you look kinda' good without the wheelchair.... I've never really spoken to you before? You're in my class right? FYI- I like the posters in your room ... Quinton

He never even noticed me? What a jerk!

I decide to write back....

Hi Quinton

Wow, I know right! This is all amazing and awesome. Yeah I'm in your class. Maybe you didn't notice me because I'm the class nerd. Text me rather than throwing a rock at my house. Oh so I look good without a wheelchair? You probably know I am the same person in a wheelchair! PS. 233 817 2935.

Isabelle

I throw the rock back through his window and I smile at him like it's the nicest letter ever. He smiles back and picks up the letter. His face turns red and the smile vanishes. I feel kind of bad for being so harsh but it's the truth! I like him a lot but he never noticed me and now that I'm out of a wheelchair I'm good enough to be someone's crush! That's just bad.

I look back to his window to see what he's doing now but there's no one . Maybe I was a little harsh. But a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. My phone beeps and I pick it up and open Quinton's message :

Hi Isabelle

You're not the class nerd. You are too beautiful to be a nerd ! And I mean it. You're right . It does not change who you are even when you are in a wheelchair. Sorry I came on too fast but I would like us to be friends. After all, Princess Henderson, I'm the Prince ...

Oh my word. He thinks I'm beautiful ? And he means it! Looks like dreams actually come true..... for some people , I guess! What should I do ? Reply ? No.

I'll talk to him personally in the morning.

I pick up where I left off with the packing.

*******

''I'm done !" I shout . I suppose all things important are at the kingdom ! Stuff like cutlery , sheets , pillows and food.

I wake up staring at my ceiling and the plastic stars sticking to it . My bags are sitting in front the door. Steven pops his head up behind the door and says , ''Good morning sis ! Are you ready for your hiking trip ?"

''Yes ! My bags are packed and I'll be back by Friday night. So that's seven days. Is it alright ?"

''Of course ! I'll make sure there's lots of healthy food on the table Sunday night." He smiles and kisses me on my temple.

''Remember to enjoy it Isabelle ! You stress too often."

''I will Steven ! Now goodbye and get yourself a girlfriend or something to keep you busy ! Even if it's temporary!"

He smiles and heads back to the living room. I watch my clock and it's ten to six . Ten more minutes before a new life begins. It all seems so magical , too magical to be true ! But reality is, It's really happening. I dress into a casual summer dress with some pumps. My color theme is red ! My favourite.The dress is white with red patterns covering it . My pumps are just plain . I loosen my hair and straighten it . Usually I just tie it in a pony. They say it's what works best on dark-colored hair.

After the goodbye and muesli breakfast,

I walk through the door in our garden and Quinton also exits his door at the back.

''Hi." he says and looks away.

''Hi Quinton. Thanks for your compliment last night. It was very sweet of you to say something like that. I also have something to admit . I really......"

Great ! The dwarves are here already. I'll have to tell him later. I see Kio in front and he says, ''Morning everyone ! Hope you had breakfast because you're gonna' need some energy to process some things!" To process some things ?
