Another Cinderella Story

Chapter 4 (Edited)

Serena's POV:
The minute the recording was finished and we stopped everything, Calem barged into the room scaring the living daylights out of all of us. "Must . . . Put every-every thing . . . Away . . ." He was breathing heavily as he stood securely in front of the door.

Iris closes the laptop she had while starting to edit the video we had just ended, a water bottle in hand. "Water . . ." She didn't get a chance to respond to him before Calem took the water out of her hands and chugged it all down. "Hey!" Iris took it back only to find the bottle empty without any more of the refreshing liquid.

He wiped the water that had leaked on his chin while drinking it hastily. "I overheard your sisters talking about a party for Crimson, they want to dance with them. That's not all," He took a deep breath before continuing. "Your mother dropped by to talk to them and I heard them speak about it being a masquerade party, you know masks and all."

The same exact feeling I had when Jessie had told me about Crimson came rushing back, a blur of a flash of memory came to mind but it was gone in an instant. "That's incredible! We may end up meeting Crimson without knowing it!" Dawn jumped up and down excitedly.

I scratched my head a bit while silently letting out a forced chuckle. "That's not all she's planning, tomorrow evening they will come by to have dinner with us . . . Or more so Jessie, Miette, Ursula, and Wally." Calem frowned at this, since I met him just the mention of my step family he would frown and get upset over it.

"Those idiots! Why wouldn't they allow you to meet them as well! That is your home and your home only I don't see why you have to wait on them hand and foot." Misty groaned in frustration after her rant over my family. I could only shift my weight from one leg to another unsure of what to do. "We need more information." Dawn suggested and when she did we all looked at Calem.

-Apart from his generous and gentlemanly behavior his looks are everything from his dimpled smile to his beautiful eyes that causes all fangirls and even some fanboys to faint from all the beauty which include my step sisters as well-

"No way in hell will I ever do something like that even if it costs me death!" He frantically shook his head. "Please! Please please please please!!!!!" My head tilted to the side a bit, I was curious as to how they planned on creating such a ball in a short amount of time. "No stop doing that! No! Nope! After a while he finally gave in ending with me flashing a smile towards him while his glare turned into a soft smile.

"What do I have to do them?" He crosses his arms over my chest waiting for an answer from the girls or I. "Just he real nice to them." May spoke up after a long pause of silence. "By that I mean don't allow them to go without causing them to turn red, afterwards when you hear their giggles ask them about the party . . . They won't ask how you know because they are so caught up in your looks."

"Simple!" Misty nodded her head in agreement towards May's well thought out plan. Calem rubbed his chin with two fingers before he snapped them. "Fine but Amour gets to show up as well, deal or no deal?" I made a face at his deal, even when I wore the mask and the wig I was never one to perform in big crowds it was only the girls and Calem. "We will be with you through out it all." He extended his hand out towards me and I just stared at it, biting my bottom lip in hesitation.

"My step mother would kill me if she finds out who I am . . . On the other hand I can finally get over half of the fear of stage fright, right?" They all nodded their heads in a non verbal agreement. I allowed a sigh to escape my lips before I shook hands with Calem himself.

"Don't worry about your mother finding out I'll make sure nothing goes wrong." Iris chipped in with a wide smile that showed her pride in her own master mind. "Let's do it then!"

Ash's POV:
I woke up to the sound of my father cursing under his breath. Rubbing my eyes so that they are fully awake I turn to look his way, he was distracted with something on his laptop.

"What's wrong?" His eyes trail from his laptop screen to me, frustration turned into worry. "Did I wake you up?" We we're still in the plane and I was glad he woke me up, I shook my head. "I'm convinced that the more I stay with you boys the more I'm going to faint from exhaustion." A reassuring smile formed on his lips but I could tell he was forcing himself to smile.

"Don't mind what I said, do you remember the Yvonne Family?" My heart sank at the name, it had been so long yet I could still remember the name perfectly well. I gulped possibly way too loud as I nodded my head slowly. "Sycamore died years back leaving Serena with her step mother," The name I dreaded to hear, my hands formed into fists.

"Jessie, had asked us all to go to dinner with her . . . the boys, your mother and I. She later suggested she could plan a party for us as a gift for returning home." My jaw clenched a bit as he continued to speak. "Your mother being the excited and bubbly person she is, accepted for us. We only have a bit more before we arrive in Japan and all we get is a few hours of rest before we head towards their dinner." I get like air was sucked out of me, I didn't understand how severe the situation was.

"You do remember Serena, right?" I stood up and headed towards the bathroom of the airplane, locking the door I just stared at myself in the mirror.

"Here! Read this!"

"Don't talk to me ever again! I don't want to be friends with you anymore!"

I began to splash water onto my face, trying to cool myself down. After growing up to become an idol I never once thought about that day a long time ago. Never did I think about the willow tree, the pond, the letter in hand nor did I ever think about that one girl who messed it up for me.

"Don't give up until the end, okay?"
