Royals

Chapter 3

The Ball part:1

Before Amanda left,she clarified that I could bring a guest (or "date" as she put it) with me. I didn't have many friends,especially not many guy friends,that I could take with me so I was gonna ask Leo. Although I am pretty sure he's not gonna want to come with me.

I went and looked for Leo. He was by a tent that sold jewelry. I approached him already imagining what his answer would be.
"Leo, I have something to ask. Could you please come with me to the ball the prince is hosting?" I asked with a little hope that he might say yes.

"Oh I'm sorry Em,but I promised my friend Daren I would help him take care of his siblings today" Well so much for hope I thought

"Ugh! I guess I'll have to go alone then..." I said with a sad face with the intentions of making him take pity on me...which I know didn't work.

"Have fun!" Leo said in an sarcastically amused voice that just made me want to punch him.

I made my way back home to look for something to wear. I didn't have many "nice,formal" dresses except for one my mom had made me. She used to work as a seamstress so she knew her way around a needle pretty well. I decided I would just wear that with a pair of her old heels.On my way home I asked a friend of mine if she could do my hair for the ball so she should be coming later, that gives me time to take a bath and get dressed. So I do,  after I take a bath, I go to my small wardrobe and pull out the dress and put it on. To my surprise,it still fits.

The dress is a simple red but still beautiful. I grab a pair of my mother's red heels and wait for my friend. After like 20 minutes of waiting,she finally arrives. To my surprise, she was also wearing formal attire.

"You look stunning!" I complemented "Thank you,as do you" she replied. "So I guess I'm not going to be completely, miserably,alone at the ball?"I asked "hahaha I guess not". Soon after,she went to work on my hair. I never really learned or had time to do my hair properly so this was a nice change. When she was done,she handed me a mirror. When I saw the beautiful hairstyle she did I was speechless.

"Thank you so much!" I thanked. "No problem, I'll meet you outside,the woman said a carriage should be arriving to pick us up and take us to the ball". Just as she left,Leo came inside holding something in a little box. "You look absolutely beautiful Em,if mom could see you now she'd be so proud."
"Thank yo Leo that means a lot". Just then,Leo told me to turn around,I thought it was odd but I went along with it. Then I feel something being placed around my neck,I looked and it was a stunning red necklace."I thought it would bring the outfit together,there's some earrings in the box too" he said. I looked at the box he was holding earlier and took the earrings and put them on.

"Thank you so much Leo,but how did you afford this?" I asked "I told the guy I'd help him out at his little shop."he answered."Now go! The carriage the palace sent is waiting for you!"

I leave my house and get in the carriage heading towards the castle.
