Until My Last Breath

The Queen

"The Queen sits at the top with her King as they watch their peasants entertain them"

I skipped around in my quote book and there are quotes like this one that stick out to me. This one does becuase Ella is a queen that's ruling a kingdom by herself. Every peasant including myself bows down to her.
If you don't think she's a queen then you have to witness it for yourself.

After I left the classroom,I quickly went to search for my next class before the bell rang. The halls flooded with students. I somehow managed to get pass most of the clusters. Being a fast walker it gets annoying as hell when you are walking and right in front of you lies a slug taking his/her sweet time. If only the world was different. I would have gladly shoved everyone in my way. But the world isn't so I crank myself to overdrive and once I see an opening I speed my way to it.

I took a sharp left turn into a mini hall. I looked around at the numbers on the wall. 128.. 129.. in front of my class was one of my friends named keith. He has a stick type build. Keith barely has any meat on his bones. He always had short hair and dressed in the same clothing everyday. Despite his appearance he is popular. All the girls love him. Watch out he might steal your girl. Just kidding he's not like that. Or is he?

Once I got to class, he walked up to me with a grin that makes you question if he was normal in the head. " Hey Zack! Looks like we got class together man!" He is a very cool guy and honest. I think too honest.We don't hang out that much though. He plays games a lot. He doesn't even look outside. Me on the other hand, i play games but not alot. Basketball takes up the majority of my time so yeah. I responded to him by saying "yeah. Let's sit together and enjoy it just in case the teacher assigns seats" He smirked at me and went into class.

Once we went in, the seats were lined as if there was a war between two sides that was going to occur. The teacher was muscular and seemed like the mean type. But that's just me assuming by his body structure. We found two seats at the far back and sat down. "I see you Zack. Don't think you are slick staring at Ella" I was actually surprised he knew that. No one really knew that but myself and my best friend that's not even in the state right now. That's another story in itself. I replied to him quickly as if I didn't know what he was talking about "Keith what are you talking about " somehow he caught on. "I see the way you look at her. Don't get your hopes up kid you aren't getting a girl like her"

I didn't have anything else to say. What he said made sense and brought me down...
"She looks sexy as hell dude. I would definitely hit that" When he said that, a small fire lit inside my heart. I grabbed his arm with a tight grip and said "listen. Ella isn't just someone you sleep with and leave. It sickens me that once you see a beautiful girl you automatically trash out her personality! Yeah she looks gorgeous! I know that but other than that what do you freaking see ? Tell me that! Becuase what I see is a queen. She's funny, honest, sarcastic, and much more! Back off Keith. I don't care if I don't have a damn chance I have nothing to lose" Keith remained silent for the rest of class. I could tell he was angry becuase he knew what I was saying made sense. It's all true though. I've witnessed it first hand. I walk around in the library and I see guys looking at her from behind and talking about her since she has the goods. But come on now she has all that but she also has the goods inside too.

*45 minutes pass*
After class, I had one more to go to before lunch which was
English class. Once I entered the class , the room was set up as a kingdom. Pictures were hanged up everywhere. Royal curtains were hiding the cabinets.How ironic, I read the quote about a queen and king and here's the scenery. The only thing missing is pretty much Ella. I take a look in the very back and there she was. What a shocker. Can this day get any better? She was looking for her assigned role. I stood frozen. My legs just wouldn't move. It's like when you have sleep paralysis, you are aware of your surroundings but just can't move a muscle. More students started to head to the back and it was getting crowded so I had to react fast. I swallowed pretty much air since my throat was dry and rubbery. I walked a fast pace to the back of the room and tried to get close to Ella but two of her friends and some guys were all on her.

" Hey hey Ella what role are you ?"
"Maybe she's a princess or something"
"You right . She cute as hell. Let me be the knight" . You know , it sucks sometimes having good hearing. Maybe I should bring earplugs everyday to school to block it all out. The guy that called her cute already has a girlfriend like what is he doing? You know I still will never understand the world we live in. I took a look and there were tables with one piece of paper on it with a list of our roles. As I was trying to keep my balance I managed to skim the paper in time. On top the king spot said "No one" I was honestly confused. Isn't there supposed to be a king? I confused me . The queen role was no other than Ella. A smile broke out. She deserved that role. There were two guards and everyone else was a peasant including me. After the bell rang, our teacher told us to get dressed and opened her wardrobe closet. Boy was it large. The further we went in we could have sworn that we would have entered to Narnia. There were plastic staffs for the peasants, a sword and shield for the guard, and we didn't see the queens stuff because the teacher took Ella where we couldn't see her. Once we all dressed up we sat in our seats. I looked around the room there still was no Ella.
"Peasants! Make way for your queen! Welcome Queen Ella!!" The teacher said with a noble medieval times accent . It was quiet. Then, there she was.. The dress was rather large and sparkly. She had 3 necklaces on her neck. I could have sworn they were real. Her crown shined bright and was perfectly placed on her head. She walked in holding her dress . As she passed by everyone, an aroma of red roses clogged our nostrils. With my imagination being big I imagined her in a field full of beautiful flowers and bunnies. I don't know why bunnies were there but hey they are cute so. I snapped out of it as everyone started cheering before she sat down on her throne. Her hair was down and she wore this dark red lipstick that covered her lips. She had some nice lips I mustn't lie. I am in the queens presence after all. Her eye lashes were long and fluttery and she wore makeup around her eyes. As she sat down we all settled out staffs bowed down to her. I didn't get to see her shoes because of that huge dress.
"Okay now. Queen Ella is in search of a king. If any of you scoundrels can come up with a speech to her about why you would be a suitable king that will help keep the kingdom of Astralus under control then you may win the throne beside her. So who has one". My heart started racing for some reason. I think it was a sign for me to say what I need to. The kid from before stood up and said "yo. You cute and I'm cute so why not crown me as king and live happily ever after" I put on a straight face after he said that. If she picks him then I guess she values guys like that. Queen Ella stood up and responded " I shall not tolerate your disrespect towards your queen. You shall suffer from banishment from the kingdom". The guards took him to the back of the room.

A smile was slapped back on my face after she said that. I knew she wasn't that kind to fall for a guy like that. I was actually left surprised too because I never expected her to speak like a queen. I guess it just supports my hypothesis to why she is a one.
Eventually more than half of the class went up and gave her a speech but they all failed. I was up next. I clenched my fist and walked in front of her. Once she looked at me I started sweating like crazy. Walking up to her so close made me realize how insanely beautiful she was. I bowed down quickly, got back up, and gave her a straight face even though my cheeks were as red as a cherry. I inhaled, then said it.

"My Queen... I see you are in search of a king that can fulfill the role to be by your side for as long as you both live. So I say this to you malady . You don't need a king . You have so much power, beauty, and intelligence to need a king. You have us peasants stumbling just by looking at you. So I shall end this by saying Long Live Queen Ella!" . I dropped back down to one knee and looked at her. She was blushing and her eyes had a gleam of satisfaction.
She stood up , walked up to me and said, " I shall chose you as my King " she put her small and light hands out to me with the crown in them. Placing the crown on my head, my eyes got watery. A dream of mine has just came true..
I stood up and sat by her in the kings throne. She was still smiling once I looked over at her. My dream was short lived as the bell rang. Everyone undressed and left with passes from the teacher. She asked for me and Ella to stay. After Ella and I undressed, the teacher started talking to us. "Ella, you are very good at playing the queen. We will be creating a story line as our first project/assignment. And you two will be the leaders of the kingdom. And Zack.That was very noble of you to compliment her and suggest she didn't need a king to control a kingdom". As she looked at me I replied to her saying, " thank you miss but I was telling the truth" Ella looked at me. I didn't see it but I could just feel her gaze on my side. I felt a thud on my thigh and once I looked, she was gone..
