     " Wake up you insolent child," said the extremely impatient Cinderella. " Your ladies in waiting are waiting for you in the commons room!"

     Why cant she just wake me up with her song birds, and doesn't she have a kingdom to run anyway? So why is she waking me up? Normally my ladies in waiting wake me up and try to feed m a live goldfish because they are "good for your completion." That is why i have a candy stash under my bed while she turns around to get my tea I do a switch-a-roo. Did i mention that she is my three quarters blind nursery maid. She cant tell the difference between me and my dog. Anyway back to my mom.

    "Get up and get dressed in this new gown I got for you," said queen of being bossy mom.
    " Mom what are you doing here? Don't you have a kingdom to run? Plus a new gown, something is going on. What is it,Mother," I said extremely impatiently.

   " Today you will meet you fiancé. You know that in this kingdom you are matched up at birth, and you were matched up with the prince of beauty kingdom." Cinderella suddenly started pacing around the room like something was wrong which is a bad sight. " You will meet Prince Rayn( pronounce rain) for the first time today. You must look and act your best," Cindy said sternly.
" So the boy who has reputation for being a snobby know it all? If so I am never getting out of my bed, ever," I said already lolling back to sleep.
" If you don't you get no food or water," said miss seriousness.
" Fine, but don't I need to go to my classes today?" I said hoping for the right answer.
" Yes, but you have been excused from classes for the next 6 hours to do your hair and get your dress on. Mainly for you dress, the waist is purposely 3 sizes small. You will go to the commons room to get you hair done and get your makeup done for the other three hours," said today's bad news bringer.
"Ugh," I manage to make the least hurtful noise I want to make.
*************
The next 6 hours were excruciatingly painful. My body was trying to get used to the dress waist and made me need to go to the bathroom. After making my hair 2 feet tall and putting enough makeup on me to make a guy look like a girl, we were ready and my fiancé had just arrived.
When I walk into the room I see him. The most amazingly beautiful boy I had ever seen. Truthfully no one really knows if he is snobby because he was homeschooled his entire life. I hope for my hearts sake that his reputation is incorrect.
He takes a step closer to me, I hold out my hand to shake. He takes my hand then pulls me into a hug. Then he wishers into my ear, " Hello, I am Rayn."
I whisper back " I hope your reputation is wrong."
He lets go of me, nods and then asks if we can go for a walk alone. Reluctantly they nod.
When we are alone in the gardens deep out of sight he hand me a tissue and takes my hair out, " I prefer my friend... girlfriend to wear herself not her makeup and jewelry," he said very slow and sweet.
" I too prefer my fiancé to wear himself not his pride or reputation," I say quietly mystified by his slow but steady movement of words.
" I.. I have never met you but I already love you, and my reputation is false I would rather read a book. Sadly every time I do I end up in the arena with my armor on," he said sadly.
" you are not the only one who has that problem. I would rather fight but every time I try I end up in the stands," I say almost giggling.
" We already have something in common!" Rayn explained happily. "I am sorry but I need to makes sure that this is right that we aren't just doing this because we have to."
Then he leaned in and my heart fluttered I lean into him finding we fit together perfectly when our lips touched sparks flew and so did we.
