Belle

I woke up with a strange feeling and I groaned. When did I sleep?? Was is even sleepy?? I don't know.... While I rub my temples to remember how I sleep, a knock was heard from my door. I sighed and got up, opened the door slightly and saw an old lady. Not just any old lady....

I looked at her with wide eyes and opened the door fully, hugging her tightly and she patted my back in return. Rosa! Rosa is the head maid in my household, she's the one who took care of me since birth, and the one who helped me during those 'unholy' week when I bleed to death.

I broke the embrace and welcomed her in, which she gracefully did. She bowed down and smiled, "I see you're doing well, Lady Belle." I nodded and smiled back. I walk over the side of my bed and grabbed my sketchpad and pen.

Yep. What brings you here though, Rosa? Did I do something wrong?

Once she's done reading, she shook her head. "Nope, Milady. Your mom ordered me to go to you academy and go shopping with you. I've asked permission from your Dorm Head and Principal." She smiled. I raised my brow and sighed, shopping? Mom?? What is she talking about. Seems that Rosa noticed my confused look and giggle, "shopping to buy some clothes for your party, milady".

I looked at her in surprised and giggle. Oh wow, gee mom. I guess I'm not trustworthy enough when it comes to fashion senses, well, it's great that she brought Rosa here to help me with that. I scribbled down some words and walked away towards the bathroom.

Sit wherever you want, Rosa. Please feel comfortable, ehehe! And thank you for your hard work, and I apologize for my lack of fashion sense. :)

I heard her laugh once I got in the bathtub.

"Milady, please wear this" Rosa told me and so I did. We're still in my room, getting dressed up. It's my 5th time putting on clothes and will just take them off. Finally, Rosa is satisfied and smiled brightly at me making me smile back. Rosa reminds me of my mom....how nostalgic.

Once we got out of my room, murmurs were heard in the hallways and the living room until we got out. I can't quite put my finger on it but everyone kept their distance from me, wonder why? When we got out of my dorm, I saw a small black car outside the gate and smiled brightly. Mr. Driver! That's the car he used when he drove Mr. Williams and I on my first day.

I wash about to mad dash to it but Rosa grabbed my arm gently, "Milady, I have something to tell you when we get in the car. Please refrain running, I'm too old to catch up" she said jokingly and I nodded while I smile. Something to tell me, aye? Hm, probably something my mom wants to pass.

While I was about to leave and hop in the car, I felt the disgusting shiver and looked down. He's watching. I shook my head and sat comfortably on the the same spot where I sat when Mr. Driver drove us here. Rosa sat next to me and smiled brightly which I also return.

When the school was out of sight, Rosa sighed in relief. "Milady, it might be dangerous for you to stay any longer in that place." Rosa said seriously and raised my brow. "I get the feeling that someone's watching you. Very dangerous, indeed. I should tell your mo–" I grabbed her shoulder gently and shook my head towards her. No! No...no... If my mom finds out, my freedom of going outside will go away in a flash! No way!

Rosa frowned and nodded, "fine, if something gets worse, I'll immediately tell you father about this, Milady" and I  nodded. I should stop depending my problems onto my parents like that.... I should be more responsible, I promised them that, after getting the permission from them that I could go outside for the first time.
