Growing up in a wealthy family wasn't always a good thing. Being pushed to look and act like the perfect lady especially when you are trying to empress all the wealthy family's with young men your age.
My mother's yelling startles me back to what I was doing
"Kasandra get in here now you should have been up and ready for lessons hours ago"
Walking in to the library I muttered " I'm here mother." As I sat she scolded me " young ladies do not mumble and as I am raising a young lady you will not mumble, and it matters not what your lesson is today you will not speak again unless you are asked to!"

As my mother started the lesson my mind started to drift to tomorrow I was going to get to go with father into the next town to talk to a orchard owner to buy a bunch of apples for the livestock and for my thirteenth birthday. My mother slamming a book down on the table brought me back
"Kasandra are you even listening to me you have to know all this if you ever hope to marry a good man" afraid to speak and earn more scolding I just nodded.

Unlike yesterday I was awake when the sun rose ready to go with my father. Laughing at my eagerness my father loving asked " do you have every thing you need for the trip" I nodded " of course father I was packed yesterday. Can we please leave now please sir"
Father just smiled and motioned for me to head to the carriage.

I fell asleep not long after leaving our home so the ride wasn't as long to me any way. When we arrived at the Orchard the trees where so full of beautiful red apples my mouth was watering just thinking about how tastey they would be. We met with the owner and his son shortly after the meeting stated the owners son asked my father "sir may your daughter come down to the river with me." .......
