A Rose

The Crowning

A few days had past since tea at the Hatters, and today was the day every princess waited for. The day I actually enjoy coming to school. At lunch they handed out little crowns to indicate who was royal, and to be honest its really creepy because every year for the past eight years there has been a list and little box of crowns, in the same place but no one knows who writes it, they have even checked the cameras and one second its there and the next its not its just like magic. I have never been on the list of course because everyone in this stupid town knows my story. When I was younger it would change a lot as parents got married or lost their money. In fact, Cinderella's prince is no longer a prince, that's they we got their Castel, they now live in a small farm house on the edge of town, they have a daughter, she is friends with the royals of course.

They treated it like a coronation someone would stand at the front of the lunch hall calling out names of a princess or prince, and they would walk up and get crowned by another person who never was on the list either, which was always indicated on the list, normally it was a teacher but a few years ago they had me do it, probably a mockery thing. It had just started and Snow Whites son was the first to be crowned followed by Sofia the evil queens daughter, then they would read Cinderella and Aurora's kids but Cinderella's daughter isn't Royal and Aurora's son stopped going to school when we were ten, no one has seen him since. They got down to the bottom of the list and the reader started reading something other than names catching everyone attention.

"This year I have added a bow to the mix, because I have a new name, a girl who I have always looked at as a commoner but upon further thinking I have come to the conclusion that I have the smallest idea that she may indeed have royal blood. But without facts or any other knowledge than a theory, I could not give her a crown so I figured a bow would do the trick." I turned scanning the crowd looking for the person who was going to stand up only to realize who it was. Issic tapped my shoulder.

"Are you going to get up or just keep hiding." He said trying to lifted me. "They called your name stand up." I looked around and then stood up everyone  watched as I walked down the aisle and received a bow.

I am no royal this must be a mistake, I don't even know who my parents, let alone if I'm am royal. Or maybe that is the reason I am getting the bow, because no one knows who my parents are they very well could have been royals. I walked back to my seat still in shock.

But why a bow, one a week ago I recived a bow from Mr. Hatter maybe their is a conecction. I looked up to Issic, maybe there was more to that story. For the rest of the day people starred and everytime I went into a classroom their was death threats written on my desk, random unroyal people that I had never talked to before would come up to me in the hallway. Although every stupid princess in that school gave me glares. When the bell rang everyone expected some great change, something to happen, everyone knew that it wasnt just some coincidese that i got a 'crown' but nothing did change, and i have to admit even i was a little disappointed.

We were all hoping magic would come back soon, all the hero's and villans are getting a little desprete lately, and everyone is getting nervous.  We are all hoping something will happen, and everyone is looking at me. Which I keep telling them is pointless.
