My Cinderella Story

Chapter 1

Hollis' P.O.V.

I woke up to the ringing of a bell. That was my signal to get up. I put my hair up and got into my dress and put my apron on top of it.

"Good morning Hollis!" My co-workers said.

"Good morning!" I replied started to cook breakfast for the royal house hold. "Did anyone see what the king and the prince wants for breakfast?" I asked.

"No. Go ahead!" My favorite co-worker, Jane, said giving me a wink. She knew i had liked the prince since i have worked here. I've worked here since i was born. When i was young, i helped take care of the animals and now i work in the kitchen. Kit and i have been friends since we were young. Both of us weren't allowed to see each other unless we were in the same spot at the same time. We always find a way to see each other and spend time together. I walked through the long halls of the palace and finally got to the doors of the Kings room. I knocked slightly on the door.

"Come in!" I heard him yell. I walked inside of his room. He was laying in bed. ​"Good morning Hollis!" He said.

"Good morning your highness!" I replied bowing. "What would you like for breakfast this morning?" I asked him walking closer to him.

"Hmmm, what are you feeling that you would make best today?" He asked. I laughed at him.

"You know, i could make a mean pancake or omelet today!" I replied. He gave me a big smile.

"I would love an omelet and maybe some fresh fruit from the garden!" He said.

"You know i always give you your fruits!" I replied with a smile. He began to laugh. "What would you like in your omelet?" I asked.

"Surprise me!!" He said. I smiled.

"I will! I will be back in a bit with breakfast!" I told him walking out.

"Thank you!" He replied. I nodded at him. I told one of the guards the kings order and they took it down to the kitchen. I walked down the hall to Kit's room. The butterflies in my stomach turned as i knocked on his door.

"Come in!" He yelled. I walked inside and shut the door behind me. "Good morning Hollis!" He said sitting up.

"Good morning to you too your highness!" I replied bowing.

"You know you can call me Kit and don't have to bow when its just us two!" He told me.

"I just feel its needed!" I replied laughing. He smiled his perfect smile. "Im here to take your breakfast order!" I said.

"What are you making today?" He asked.

"I was thinking of some nice oatmeal!" I replied. I knew he hated oatmeal with a passion.

"I don't think so." He said.

"Too bad. That is all we have!!" I added with a smirk and began to walk out. He laughed as i shut the door behind me. I knew what he wanted for breakfast. Sometimes it changed but normally it is just pancakes with strawberries and a scone on the side. I ran back downstairs to the kitchen and started to make the king and Kit's breakfast.

"How is the king and prince this morning?" Jane asked smiling at me.

"They are good." I replied blankly and continued making the omelet and pancakes. The rest of the kitchen staff made breakfast for all of us. I was normally in charge of making it for the king and Kit. They put the most trust in me. I finished making breakfast and put it on a tray to take up to them. I walked with both trays in my hands and knocked with my foot on the kings door. He opened the door and surprised me. "Oh! Hello!" I said laughing.
