More cameras.

They're everywhere.

Ever since the wedding the media hasn't shut up. "Princess Arabella rejected by Prince Robert for unknown non royal" and then"Lucy Paterson - Homewrecker, or star?"

I can't believe they're saying such horrible things about Lucy, she didn't ask for any of this. I don't even know how she is. I can't get into contact with her - not since she left for their honey moon, which I guess is kind of the point. It's just so annoying that she gets all this, it's so unfair.

"Arabella."

"Who is it?" I reply.

"It's me, Anthony."

"Come in!" I yell.

He comes and sits on the opposite side of the desk. I feel like I'm a principal and he's a bad student or something.

"Have you seen all of this?" I throw one of the many newspapers in front of him. "The media is loving this! Homewrecker or star?  Queen Arabella gets rejected. Queen of Denmark has public meltdown."

"I've seen it all your majesty-" Ant replies.

"Please don't call me that. You've known me practically since I was born please don't suddenly treat me any different." I plead.

"Sorry, Arabella." I shrug, and he continues, "I've seen all the tabloids. Everyone is talking about it."

"It's been a month Anthony what are we going to do?"

"Whatever we have to."

Suddenly the door to my study (previously my father's study) bursts open, Harriet and Hector sprint in. "Bella, Bella!" They shout my name, running up to the desk, Harriet climbs up on my lap whole Hector climbs into the seat next to Anthony.

"Yes dear siblings of mine?"

Suddenly Justine runs in, panting heavily, she can barely speak, "kids...your sister.....is busy...come..on..." she wipes her forehead.

"But we wanna play with Arabella!!" Harriet calls out.

"I'll come and play in a bit okay? Go be good for Justine alright my little prince and princess?"

The pout their lips and mumble an okay before going over to Justine at the door, who gives me a pity smile as she closes the door on her way out.

"They want you at their graduation." Anthony tells me.

"Who want me at what graduation?" I ask.

He doesn't look me in the eye as he speaks, "Maddensville High School, as in Maddensville, New York.." He mumbles.

"Why would they want me at their graduation?" I chuckle. "I was only there for a few months."

"Yes but you were the lead in their school musical, and you earned enough credit to get a high school diploma."

I sigh.

"You'll have to go to the last two weeks before the graduation to attend the classes and get your robe sorted and everything."

I look up at him.

"Will you go?"

I pause for a moment, all the memories flooding in. I nod.

"I guess it's time to visit some old friends."
