Jeanette's POV
I woke up feeling happy and slightly refreshed,it was a new day and I was going to make the most of it.
I sat up on my bed and yawned so long, I thought I was gonna swallow my room. My sister barged into my room like all mornings and announced but without the usual eagerness
"Come down,breakfast is ready."
I smiled knowing what awaited me
Eggs and bacon, some toast bread with a glass or two of my favorite fruit juice and for desert we're gonna have black current pancakes or cherry pies.
I jumped off my bed and dashed into my bathroom and brushed my teeth after taking a quick but satisfying bath. I wore a flowery top and a pair of trousers and hurried downstairs.
I sat at the dinning table waiting for breakfast to be served,Mary came down five minutes later with headphones on her neck and her tab in her hand.
"What were you listening to?"
I asked after Mary sat at the table.
"Just a demo"
Mary said putting the headphones to her ears.
"Um...okay,which?"
"A song written by Chyna and the gang" Mary said nodding to the beat of the song.
"I didn't know you guys were into music" I exclaimed.
"We're into a lot of things you don't know about okay... so let it be and leave me alone ."
Mary snapped as the food arrived
Yikes, what's gotten into Mary?
We ate our food in silence for a while and I noticed it wasn't so delicious.
"Hey,what's wrong?"
I asked my sister after slamming my cutlery on my plate in frustration.
"Nothing" Mary mumbled.
"No,there is something bothering you,just tell I'm your..."
"Enough!" Mary shouted as she sprang to her feet, I looked at her in surprise.
"You know what,you need to stop poking your nose into what ain't your business alright sis. Why am I even wasting my time..I'm outta here"
Mary said angrily before she sprinted upstairs.
I sank in my chair in shock and I noticed Mary left her tab and headphones on the table,I picked it up and placed the headphones on my ears and listened to "the music" which  it wasn't,it was a conversation.

*Mary,you are hereby removed permanently from the group,because of well..we just think you should leave.*

How cruel.
Then her tab vibrated because it was on silent mode and couldn't beep.
I saw lots of messages on a group chat named Perfect Princesses.
Ugh..sounds lame and boring.

Lady Chyna:Who thinks Mary stinks?Raise a hand or voice it out.
Pretty Rita:Count me in,I hate Mary like I hate dirt.
Single Katie:Both my hands are up.
Gigi gal:Funny,why are we wasting our time talking about that sore loser,of course everyone hates her.
Lady Chyna:So true.
Lovely Diana:Everyone except moi.
Lady Chyna:Whatever, you're Mary's best friend ...besides who cares if you don't hate her,majority do.
Lovely Diana:I don't care.
Mad Madison: I don't hate Mary either

That's where the messages stopped, I suddenly realized what Mary was going through and I felt sorry for her,at least she has two friends.
I was about to go upstairs and talk to her when my own phone vibrated.

Chris:Ready for lunch?
Princess Jeanette:Lunch? I just had breakfast.
Chris:The earlier the better,besides.. we're going somewhere pretty far,and we gotta get there at twelve on the dot.
Princess Jeanette:Um..okay,I guess.
Chris:Right,I'll pick you up in an hour's time.
Princess Jeanette:Alright.
