Rebecca POV
Ring,Ring,Ring. Waking up from my peaceful night sleep. Waking up everything hits me i am in a new school in a different country. Oh my god what did i do. Looking over i see Ella laying down. She's so beautiful an smart i knew this was all for her. With the money she and i can have a better life when this ends. I know no matter what i will win an it will be for her. Knowing i have to get ready for school i go an get dress an then pick out a outfit for Ella.Once i put on what i wear i wake up Ella an help her get dressed for today.
Very grateful for Stacy help now Ella can look good. It be less likely for her to be picked on if she has a good outfit. Giving a nod of approval we go in to the restroom brush her hair an teeth. I style it down but a clip on one side. So the hair wont get into her face as much. After shes down i let her play with my phone an charge it. While i do just light makeup that Stacy bought for me yesterday. A swipe of the mascara brush an pink chap stick. I am all set to leave i grab Ella bag an stock it with anything she might need. An grab mine as well with my phone we both walk out. Fist coming out i see that all of our friends are here already. An let me tell you they all bought nice clothes. I guess to make an impression of our first day. Stacy is wearing light skinny jeans an a white flowy top with black design an bran new Vans. She looks so pretty also going light on the makeup. Steven dressed in khaki pants a button up, navy blue shirt with dress shoes. Andy has a more of relaxed looked black pants an white button up. An he bought himself a pair of nice fancy shoes. Both of them sporting a new fancy looking watches. I think the guys dressed more then we did. Considering their outfits probably cost eighty bucks an not including the watches. But i guess their money even though Stacy bought a lot, she didn't buy expensive things. We both look at each other an give a nod of approval. 'Alright since everyone is here now we can leave'. What about breakfast? "There's a cafeteria at your schools an restaurants on the campus if you want". Okay but i need to go with you to Ella school. Shes needs me an she has an allergy i need to tell them. We will get it all settled now lets go. I grab my keys an the car keys and i made sure Ella and i have our badges just incase. Once were all set we all leave out the door. "Now kids your apartment is not far from your school but is from the elementary. I recommend Ms. Rebecca having the car since she would have to pick up Ella. The schooling here is different but similar in some ways. Here are your schedules so you can get to know them". Getting mine i see its like my old school. Classes an gymnastics and dance which i am grateful for. But before my dance and gymnastics i see i have a manners/edict class. Bleh because that's totally what i want to learn. "You all have the same schedule well at the begging. The core classes an manners class an then what ever extra actives you had at your old school". Great. "Now lets go drop Ms. Ella off at her school". We all get in the car an i drive while she gives me directions. Stopping outside this building i see all these kids going towards it. "Now you all wait in the car while Rebecca an i and Ella get off. She leaves before giving any room to argue. The guys help Ella out an place her on the side walk. Going up to her i grab her an make sure sure her backpack is on right. Looking over i see Ms. Samantha talking to a older women. Deciding its best we both walk over towards her. Getting their the lady speaks up. 'Well you must be Ella I've heard maybe good things. Hello you must be her mother, i am miss Wilkins. The head master here at this school. Do you have any questions for me'? Well Ella has an allergy to bees i just wanted you to be informed. I placed her EpiPen in her bag she knows how to use if needed. An i don't know what's going to happen since i have extra actives. 'Well she has school until three-fifteen an you have school until three-thirty. Plus i know you have extra activities that lastest until five. Shes always welcomed to stay later. Most of the kids older brothers an sisters are busy as well. So they stay after school to kinda like after school program. She can join them if you'd like. But it only lastest until -thirty. So you gave to be on time in picking her up'. Yes that'd be perfect. 'Then its settled come pick her up when your done. I'll make sure her allergy is put into the system'. Thank you. 'Sure now i think its time to say goodbye'. Giving her a nod i bend down to Ella. Now i needed you to be a good girl you listen to these people. I will come get you as soon as i done. "Alright mommy". Go am an make as many friends like i know you can. I love you. "I love you mommy always". And forever baby girl. I know she will do well getting up i see her walk away with miss wilkins. I turn away an walk back to the car with Samantha. Getting in no one says a word at all. I park in front of this big campus bigger then Ella's. "Alright everyone this is your new school the head master here will be giving you a tour. I hope you all have a wonderful day an year here". We all get out an leaving her in the car. Looking out i see many people out on the lawn. Some give of curious glaces and other a quick once over. Continue walking into the school. Going in we look on our map to see where are classes are. Lucky we all have the same classes until after the manners class. Finding the cafeteria on the map we all walk over their. Going in i see a big open space with circle tables around. On the far back theirs restaurants and a lunch line. Walking over i go to the Starbucks never having it in my life. The gang follows me in instantly we are hit with a strong coffee smell. I see a couple of people sitting down with coffee. Walking up to the counter i see a glass case. It all looks delicious to me i look up at the top an see frapuccino. Chocolate chip looks good so i order a chocolate chip frappuccino. With a blueberry muffin on the side. Paying it i step out of the way for everyone else. Walking to the other side i wait for my order. Fifteen minutes later i see everyone has order an are waiting. Twenty minutes we have all gotten are things and are sitting down eating. Suddenly i over hear these girls talking about a guy. Did you hear Nathaniel is coming back today. Why i didn't think he would be back ever. After everything that happened two years ago. Shhhh quiet you know your not supposed to talk about that time. The other girl gives a hmm of yes. With that i tune out the rest of the conversation after they start talking about clothes. Coming back to our group of conversation i hear Stacy all excited. An getting a coffee in her sure didn't help either. We hear a loud bell an see all the other kids leave. I guess that was the bell for class. Getting up we all throw away our trash an leave the cafeteria. Going in we walk in to class an up to the teacher. 'Oh yes i heard of you all go ahead take a seat at the front'. Giving him a nod we sit in the four empty seats in the front. After ten minutes everyone is here an the class. Close to being full another bell rings and the teacher starts teaching. Good thing its one of my favorite english. Fifteen minutes the door opens an in walks in. A Greek god black hair with stormy grey eyes and a perfect slender nose. His lips plump that have a slight pink tint to them. He looks gorgeous i am pretty sure everyone agrees to looking over i see stacy. Shes looking at him like its her next meal. Looking over at the guys i see their expression. 'Now mr. Nathaniel would you liked to tell me why your late'. "No i don't Mr. Tate its a rather personal issue".' Alright then sit in any open seat'. He walks down the row until the seat all the way at the back. Mr. Tate goes back to the lesson tells us we are going to start reading the brothers in grim. An analyze morals or the stories. Lucky for me this is what i love. I live for these stories. Before everything got crazy when i was little. Mother use to tell me about them she always said. "Every story has a mean what is mean behind your story. He passes out a copy of the book to each over us'. 'Alright get to reading the first story i want a two page essay of the meaning. And what it means to you'? The bell rings but no one moves dares moves an inch well except for Nate. 'Class dismissed'. With that we all get ready to leave out the door. I see the guy Nate already out the door. Stacy and i pack our things and are waiting for the guys. Who are shamelessly flirting already. Stacy and i just decide to leave them an go to our next class. Class goes by in a blur hearing a lot of gossip of us and Nate. To which we still have no idea why he's so important. Its lunch to so far not many people have come up to us. So we all just go through the line and then take a seat outside at one of the tables. Even outside i see that their are social standing. These group of people under neither a big oak tree. Covered in the perfect shade they all look so perfect to me. Looking up i see a girl walking over to the table we are at. Dang it must be her seat. She looks up and sees us all their and goes to turn around. Wait. You can join us if you like we wont bite. Giving her a sweet smile one i give to Ella to make her do something. She takes the sit right in front of us. What's your name? 'Paige but most people call me pages. Why would they do that? Cause most of my time my head is stuck in the pages of a book'. I hear Andy a snicker next to me. Looking over i see Paige get sad. Turn to him i hit him in the back of the head. And so does Stacy right after me. Gesh women what? You inconsiderate a**hole you made her sad. How would you feel if someone picked on one of us. I sometimes don't get how we became friends. Stacy just nods and agrees with me. Andy looks over at Steven for help. 'Don't look at me dude you know that was mean'. "Fine, fine. I am truly sorry paige for laughing it wasn't right". She give a nod and a small thank you. Now my name is Rebecca and these are my friends. Stacy she gives a little wave and Andy the a**hole and Steven the nice one. She gives us polite smile. Anyway what grade are you in year twelve same as you all. Awesome are you originally from england.' Yeah born and raised'. Great. Yeah where are you all from. Where from america. 'Cool only been their once was interesting and so busy'.
With that we get to eating are food from the lunch line. I got a spicy chicken burger. Stacy got a salad with turkey pieces in it. And the boys got pizza. Looking over i see Paige with fruit salad. Paige if you wouldn't mind me asking who are those group of people. Point over to the group of people who all look like seems like their gods gifted to the world. 'Oh they are The Royals'. Figuratively right. 'No do you see that guy in the middle'. Yeah he's the guy in our class english class and in our astronomy class right before lunch. 'Yep his name is Nathienal Williams he's the crown prince'. Are you joking? 'Never'. Alright keep going. 'The girl right next to him is Sera she's a Dutch's. Even if he just came back she will always be near. On the other side of nathienal is Jax their best friends. And others just are parents are dutch and Dutch's. Earls, Baton an such'. Wow that's crazy, do you think this what we will learn today. Probably wouldn't doubt it. Thank you for the information Paige. 'Sure'. Do you want to be friends with us? 'I guess never really did have friends. Except the people on the Math decathlon team'. Cool Andy won't admit this but he's good at math in our group. 'Great we can always use another member'. Sorry sweety Andy might be good at math but he has an ego the size of texas. And that's stopping him from knowing his potential. 'Oh. That's fine. Just know your always welcome'. Thanks Pag.. I swear Andy you say Pages i am going put my foot where the sun doesn't shine. I wasn't going to Rebecca swear on Ella life. Don't you swear on my daughters life you a**hole. Okay im sorry i wasn't going to. Anyway thank you for the offer Paige. 'Sure'. What do most people do after lunch. Well since their is no more classes for us. Then we either have electives or go home. Most of the popular people either have football or cheerleading practice. Oh okay then. What do you do? Well if i don't have a math meeting then usual have tutoring. Cool you never told us how you fit in the royalty. 'I'm Nathienal cousin'. You are the princes cousin. The king is your uncle in law. 'Just uncle my mom is the kings youngest sister'. How are they so mean to you still. Is he mean to you too. 'Oh no he's the nicest he used to protect me. But he left two years ago so they started being mean again'. Aww poor thing maybe it will be better plus its your last year of high school. 'Maybe'. The bell rings signally the end of lunch. Getting up we all throw away our trash in the bins. We start walking away i grab Paige hand. Here's my number paige if you need anything. Just ask were all friends now. 'Okay'. With that we walk away. That was really nice of you Becka. Yeah its sad to see such a nice girl picked on so much why not be nice. Plus i have a feeling she is the only real person here. True. Where is are classroom for are manner/edict class. It says its on the third floor first classroom on the right. Okay lets head up their. We go up all three flights of stairs. Once getting up their we look to the left and see the elevator. Seriously how did we not see that their. How are you guys panting already aren't you guys supposed to be athletic. Since you guys were on the football team. 'Whatever Becka'. Walking until we see the door we knock. But soon after we hear a come in. Walking in we see Samantha and a guy with his back turned to us. Ah here you all our well come in. After there class i wish to speak with you Mrs. Samantha. As you wish but i would have preferred you stayed sir Nathanial. Lucky i don't take orders from you good day. Lady's, gentlemen. He gives all nods before leaving. Who was that? "Great question Rebecca. That's are first lesson for today. The england monarchy structure. Please sit i know probably at least all made one friend. And asked them who was that but i will get more into detail". Sitting down she pulls up the projector and sets up her power point. "Now we will start with this lady. She was the queen monarchy married to king Henry the forth". Was? "Yes was she passed away two years back. I would take notes you all have a quiz this Friday". We hurry and pull out our note books to start our notes. "Anyway I was only to instructed to tell you about her death. She was very nice to the people and many charities. Mostly was to the orarangeg or to our many schools. Even this school younger grades this school was only meant for high schooler. She later used her power to make more buildings for the younger kids". Why a boarding school for younger kids it seems that most of these kids are only five and up. The parents just ship them off over here so they wont have to mess with them. Excellent point all of you. It wasnt liked that before. "The queen wanted these kids to be with their parents here. If you see thats why there are apartments here. They are supposed to be used for a family. But as more time as the school progressed. The parents just started shipping their kids here. To either living by themselves in a dorm with other kids. Or they can choose to hire a nanny and they can live here with them. Until the kid doesn't need them anymore". That sounds like a tough life and i know a thing or two about tough life. "Yes indeed moving on. King Henry James Williams the forth he's a very usual king. He's nice and faire but knows what we need and gets it done. Next is their son Nathaniel Henry Williams. This young man is the crown prince he will take the thrown. Once he finds a bride. Not much is said about him. But here is some information you can write down". This goes on until we reach Nathanial grand parents. Alright class times up we will continue this tomorrow. Goodbye. Packing up our things we leave. So what are you guys going to do. Well the guys have football practice. And i have an art class for an hour. Are we all riding home together. I dont think so Rebecca. My class ends earlier then you and the guys. Plus Rebecca you have to go pick up Ella after your work. Yeah Becka just keep the car Andy and i we can walk home. Or catch a ride with someone from the team. Only if you guys are really sure. We are now come on lets all go before were all late and get in trouble. Alright i guess. But lets take the elevator. True. I second that. Going over we set off each different ways. Except Andy and Steven both going to the field. Walking until i hit these big doors. On the top says Dance room. Here goes nothing. Pulling open the doors i look over and see the same set up as my old school. I just walked into heaven a dance room that's twice as big as the old one. Seeing the teacher i go up to her. Hello my name is Rebecca Martinez.' Oh yes your the new student. My name is Terra Blake. Students usual just call me Ms. T for short. Great im so happy to be in your class. So am I love. Let me show you around. Through those too doors on the right are locker rooms. And the door on left is another small dance room. That one is open outside school time'. This all is amazing i can't wait to practice. 'I am glad you like it Rebecca. Well let me give you a run down of what we normally do. Usually we will do warm ups and warm up to start off. Then after that i will let you all go and work on a routine you have. If you've done that ever 1st semester you must preform it. At the winter show we have every year. They will be times where ill give you assignment that you preform for the class. But unfortunately next week we will ve having a class for everyone not in dance. They are going to be in here learning the waltz and any other dance they might need. It will be every thursday until the winter show. After the winter show they will be a dance for everyone. So they can have before going on holiday break. Okay soumds great. Well if you want you can sit out for today. Then you can start tomorrow but up to you your welcome to join us'. I think i will dance with you all. Its only been two days but i already miss it. Sure well go change then. Picking up my bag i go into the locker room. Walking in was like walking into the lion pit. Their was only six girls but each have two eyes. That's ten eyes staring you down judging you and everything your doing. 'You all stop giving her the death glare would you. We are all mates'. I look for the voice and see this skinny girl with raven black hair. Don't tell us what to do Kate you can be mates with her but we don't. Looking at the girl i see its the girl Sera that Paige told us about. Yeah kate. With that Sera walks out followed with two other girls. 'Don't mind Sera her and her too bimbos lackeys think they rule over the school. She only thinks that in her pea size brian. Sera thinks Nathanial will choose her as his bride'. So she will be the next queen of England but everyone doubts it he never really liked her you can see it on his face'. Oh okay. Well i am Rebecca Martinez nice to meet you i am guessing Kate. 'Yeah I'm kate, that's Sue and she's Karen'. Nice to meet you all. 'Well hurry and get dress we will wait for you'. Going in my bag i put on sports bra,leggings, and a hot pink tank from Pink. Switching my shoes out for my ballet flats. I am ready seeing an open locker i put the combo lock on it with my stuff secure. I walk out looking i see the girls waiting for me. We walk together until we see mrs. T. Alright ladies this is Rebecca all of you be nice. Now lets begin. With that we start doing the warm ups.
~ One Hour Later ~
To not to say im exhausted would be a lie. I started to work harder on my routine. 'Great job everyone class dismissed. I will see you all tomorrow'. "What class do you have next Rebecca'? Gymnastics. "Oh good luck". Why? "Its just Sera and her hang hang out their sometimes. Since their on the cheer team the whole squad goes in their. Every wednesday so good luck Rebecca'. Thanks lucky its only once a week. Yeah we will talk later here's my number you want to talk. Okay thank. The girls leave the locker room. Taking out my clothes for gymnastics i change quickly. Walking over i take a three doors that lead me to the gym. Getting in front of another i see one says girls gym and the other says boys gym. Looking at my schedule i see the class is in the girls gym. Taking a deep breath and going in. Walking in i see the whole gym is for gymnastics. Come in you myst be Rebecca. Walking up to the teacher i see a couple of students their already. Yes that's me. Well come on where ready to start. Quick info my name is Mrs. Steven. We are going to do warm ups and a routine. Its pretty basic routine. Alright well i am all ready to start. With that we get started working.
~ One Hour Later ~
I just landed the my last flip. That's it class where done you all are dismissed. Going i grab my stuff and head to the locker room. On the left walking in i change quickly into my regular clothes. Getting out i pull out the keys in the parking lot. I get in and get ready to pull out of their. Looing at the clock i see its five-fifteen. I will be right in time to pick her up. Driving away an to Ella school i have little time to think. Before i know it i am parked right front. Leaving my stuff i go and walk in. Seeing signs that say after school program in the lunch area. Looking through i three kids in their and i see the head master. Walking up to i still don't spot Ella. Hello Ms. Rebecca. Hello. Mommy!! I know that voice anywhere. Turing away from the head master to Ella. Seeing her run up to me with her back pack on. Baby girl. She runs to me and into my arms. Oh how i missed you sweety pie. I missed you too mommy. Setting her down on the ground. How was your day did you have fun. Yeah mommy i learned a lot. They put me in a new class a grade above the grade i was in. Oh really did make friends. Yeah he was the only person to talk to me. Hmm interesting does this boy have a name. Yes Eddie do you want to meet him? Sure. Pulling away to a group of kids at the table in the corner. She walks up to blonde boy with stormy grey eyes. I've seen those eyes before. Pulling him away over to me. Mommy this is Eddie, eddie this is my mom. Kneeling down to his and Ella height. Hi Eddie my names Rebecca you can call me Becky if you want. That's what all my friends call me. Okay i will Becky. Come on Ella lets go. We need to go home. I have to call Todd soon. Alright she gives Eddie a hug and comes next to me. With her hand in mine we walk away. Going out i put her in her car seat and drive off. Driving away i go away from there. Fifteen minutes later we reached home. Turning the car off i go and grab Ella from the back seat. Come on lets go inside i want to hear all about your day. Giving her a big kiss on the cheek and then put her down. Going on the Elevator and up. Ella starts to tell me about her. They are really nice not many people talked to her. But they will it will take time. Shes a people person i know, by the end of this week she will have many friends. That's great honey do you miss Todd?
Yeah i do. Don't worry we will call tonight. Alright the elevator stops and we get off on our floor. Opening the door to the apartment we step in. I see Stacy is sitting down the couch with a laptop in her hands. She looks up and sees us come in. Hey Stace. What's up girl. Nothing this day has been tiring already. I know what you mean we still have all the homework we got today. Uh dont remind me i am going to call todd. Why do you still worry about him you half way around the world. Exactly i am half way around the world its nice to keep in touch with your roots. Alright i guess. Come Ella lets go to our room. We say goodbye and go to our room. Okay Ella start on your homework i want to talk to Tod first. Then when your done you can talk. Okay mommy. Goes and sits on the desk and starts. Pick up the phone i dial his number.
Hello

Todd: Hey beautiful how are you doing settling in alright.
Becka: Yeah we are doing great Ella made a friend so did i. But i know in the end of the week she wil ten times as more.
Todd: I wouldn't doubt it shes always a people person. Tell her i miss her and send my love.
Becka: I will but you can talk to her in a bit shes just doing some home work.
Todd: Great hows school so far.
Becka: Amazing i have dance and gymnastics. Were having a winter show in a couple months. An a dance at least that's what my dance teacher told me.
Todd: That's great maybe by then i can go to london and see it.
Becka: Of course i will tell the information as so as i get it.
Todd: Sure.
Becka: Oh El just finished her work let me out her on the phone.
Ella packs her stuff back in her back pack and comes sits on the bed. Handing the phone over i grab my bag and start my work. I do my essay and math work. With a little science and history. Once i finish i see Ella has just finished talking to Todd. Okay El hand me the phone go ask Antie stacy what shes making for dinner. Sure mommy. She leaves handing back the phone.
Alright Todd i will talk to you soon.
Todd: Okay be safe and make good choices i know your smart. You can stay their the whole year to get the scholarship.
Becka: Thank you good bye.
Todd: Bye.
With that i hang up the phone and leave the room. Walking out i see the guys their and Stacy in the kitchen making something. And the guys are fighting with the remote from Ella. Hey guys. Becka help us the games on but Ella wants to keep watching the princess show. Who had the remote first? We did. Have you guys done your homework? Well.... Ummm no. Then Ella did all her homework. Then after You've done it you can have the T.v. They sigh defeated and Ella looks smug. Hey wipe that smile off your face. It was still mean of you to take it from them. Now hand it over. She hesitates to hand it over and gives me a look. Dont give me that look we might be in london but i will still ground you. Go in the kitchen and see if Stacy needs help. She leaves and i change it to a movie i want. Half way threw john wick Stacy calls for dinner. I leave and go to the table and see Stacy and Ella sitting down already. I sit down next to Ella and see she made fish and french fries. A couple minutes pass and the guys come in. Sitting down we all get to eat and hear about the guys practice. Its a good thing they have American football. Or the guys would be bored here only being here for school. They said the prince plays football and soccer. That's great guys im haply for you. Ella got put in a grafe above her last since shes so smart. Wow congrats. Yeah you disserve it your so smart. Thank you. Did you guys do the essay for english. Yeah it was hard. I know i think i need to buy a new laptop my old one is breaking down. We can go this weekend. Alright. Twenty minutes later we all finish and go watch the movie for a little longer. It hits nine and i see Ella rub her eyes. Come on Ella lets you bathe and ready for bed. We say goodnight before heading off to all of rooms. Once in i set the bath up and put Ella night clothes on the toyliet.
Okay Ella your clothes and bath are set go take a bath. She gives a nod and leaves i pull out my clothes and get ready for a shower. Fifteen minutes later she comes out all ready for bed. Good job Ella get in i will read you my essay for bed time story. Its about your favorite story. Yeah! I'll be back. Walk away with my clothes in hand in the bathroom. I take a hot shower to relax my muscle from todays busy day. With in ten minutes i am done and dressed. Coming out i read the story to her first and what i think of the meaning. Of course its one of her favorite stories. About a little boy who lost his ball in the lake. A fish gives it back all the fish wants to be is the little boys friend. After they give him the ball they become friends. But they can never play together since the fish cant go on land. After awhile a magic fairy's wands falls into the lake. The fish gets it and she grants him one wish. He asks for legs to walk on land to play with the boy. She grants it and leaves. This fish goes and plays with the boy and becomes the best of friends. But all to soon the boy goes into the lake and drowns. The fish wants to save him but he cant since he has legs. The moral in the story for me is never change yourself. If they cant except you for who you are then they aren't your real friends. Thats a great story mommy. I give her a kiss and lay down with her. Goodnight. Goodnight sweet dreams princess. Ten minutes later i start to slip into the darkness.
