My Way On The Highway (Incomplete, Stopped)

Chapter 1

This will mostly be an independent story. You don't need to read the 1st book to read this because I am changing the first book anyway. And I'll try to reexplain the characters. You would only need to read the 1st book to get to know the characters.

Dedi to the person at the top for the awesome cover. :D Any love for the cover? Put a heart.

Chapter 1

"Annalisa, chin higher," I heard my 'etiquette' instructor say.

I put my right foot in front of my left, walking carefully in the six inch heels. I don't even know why they make heels this tall. As I tried to bring my chin higher, the book on my head came crashing down to the floor, resulting in a loud smacking sound.

I scratched my neck and looked behind me, seeing Madame Drianna pinching her nose, eyes closed. I slowly turned, making sure not to make too much noise with the abominations on my feet and walked towards her.

She was gripping her black pencil skirt rather tightly, and her chest was heaving underneath her blazer. Once she opened her eyes, she forced a smile and checked her watch.

"It seems our lessons are done for the day. You may take your leave now. But please, practice on your walk," she said, giving me the once over.

I quickly nodded and made a dash for the door when I heard a loud exhale. I looked back and saw Madame Drianna shake her head.

"Those aren't running shoes, Annalisa. Those are the Princess Royal's limited edition Christian Louboutin pumps. Please, be careful now. We don't want blisters appearing on your feet. Or the shoes being ruined," she said.

I gave her a parting impish smile and nodded, then carefully walked to the door. The door opened just as I got there, and I thanked the guards then all but tore the shoes, heels, they're all shoes to me, off my feet.

When I felt my feet on the carpeted floor, I sighed in relief and carried the shoes to my room. Yes, I still lived in the palace. I had different lessons, school, extra-curricula, university tests and sports activities to go to. As much as I would've loved to go back with Mom and Dad, I knew it was impossible seeing as I will be attending a university here. And all my lessons are here. Come to think of it, my life has been transferred here.

As I got to my room, I placed the shoes on the floor and jumped on my bed, spreading my self. I was exhausted. I had to jog in the morning, ride horses after, find clothes to donate (which was most of the clothes in my closet), learn French and Chinese, write an essay for school, teach my Mom how to upload pictures through the phone since Jase went out, rearrange my closet, study for my remaining entrance exams and finally my 'etiquette' lessons.

Etiquette lessons would have been a breeze had I not been forced to practice all the kinds of high heels. Seriously, I would never even wear stripper heels, ever. I didn't see the point of wearing them for practice.

I heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

Sarah, one of the maids, came in and curtsied.

"Miss Anna, His Royal Highness requests for your presence in his study," she said.
