Descendants: Like a Bolt Out of the Blue

Chapter 15

"Thanks Evie," I say bowing my head slightly. This slice of cake is perfect it even has rose on it. Everyone knows the best slices of cake have extra frosting on them. "Anytime Kailee," Evie says ruffling my Rapunzel blonde hair.  "I'll catch up with you later Kailee," Evie says before turning on her heels and disappearing into the crowd. "Bye Evie," I wave with my free hand.

"Now to find ower table," I say to myself biting my lower lip. I begin to weave my way through the courtyard waving to some of the families I know. "Hmm maybe I'm goin the wong way," I mumble to myself. I take a step back and look around. I can't see much because pretty much everyone here is taller than me. "I better go find daddy," I sigh taking another step back. How is possible for a person to get lost in courtyard? Given I don't spend a lot of time out here and there is a lot people here.

Suddenly someone bumps into my back making me drop my slice of cake. "Oh no my cake," I whimper. That slice had a frosting rose on it, I can't help but cry. I'm only three, I cry when I drop my ice cream.

"Oh no, I am so sorry." An unfamiliar voice apologizes. A boy around my age steps into my view line. His hair is fiery red with his eyes a light golden brown. He nervously takes the plate then begins to wipe the cake off the grass. "See? Good as new," he says handing back my plate.

I look the cake over it's smushed, covered in dirt and blades of grass are sticking out. "Actally ya might not wanna eat that." He notes taking the plate back. He takes my hand then leads me through the crowd of visiting family members. I don't know what say, I have no idea who this kid is.

He let's go of my hand picking up his pace. I just stand frozen as he disappears into the crowd. Where did he go? Did he really just leave me here crying? Jerk.

I turn to around and head off to find daddy. Maybe he'll get me another piece of cake. I don't get that far before I feel a hand brace my shoulder. I turn around expecting it to be one of the various family members trying to make a comment on how big I've grown.

My eyes widen, the young boy stands before me holding a new slice of cake. This one's even better than the first, it has three blue and gold frosting roses. "Sorry about that I noticed you had a rose on your last slice so I needed ta hurry and get ya new one. You know how rose covered slices go fast." He explains holding the plate out towards me. I don't know what to do.

"Look I know I made ya drop your first slice, I'm so sorry I'm kinda clumsy." He apologizes, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. "Can you please say something so I at least know if I'm forgiven." He asks looking at me expectantly.

I blink a few times before answering, "uh um t-t-thank you." I stutter, I don't interact with kids my own age often enough. I know highschool topics like chemistry, geometry, world history. I don't know much about three year old stuff. I'm very smart for my age. I then take the plate from him.

He sends me an encouraging smile boosting my confidence. "Hi um I'm Kailee I tuwned free a couple monfhs ago." I greet beaming at the boy. His skin pales making the freckles on his face more visible.

"I-I bumped into the princess?!" He exclaims anxiously combing his fingers through his hair. "No it's fine it was a accid-," I begin only to be interrupted.

"Hey princess," I hear daddy call from behind me. I turn around and smile, "hi daddy." "Kailee ready to play some croquet?" He asks picking me while I continue to hold the plate. "Yes," I lie I don't know how to play croquet.

"Bye boy," I wave over daddy's shoulder as we walk away. He just gawks waving a little bit back. "Hey princess who was that?" Daddy asks. "I dunno Daddy. But I call him boy," I shrug. Boy was kinda funny and clumsy, and his red hair makes him kinda cute.
