The Lost Princess

Chapter Two

Mariana POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. Right in front was a white Mercedes - Benz. I got a car for my birthday!

"OMG a car, you guy buy a car for me. Aww Thank you, thank you." All I can do was jumping in excitement. I ran over to my parents and give a hug and kiss on their cheeks.

"You're welcome sweetheart. Well, go ahead take it for a spin and even take to the mall but drive safely!" Monique said as I went around to my car, gave Jeffery a hug and got in the car. I like the new car smell; this is my car, finally. I'm grateful for having great parents in my life. I started driving out of the driveway and waved at my parents goodbye, and went my way.

Monique POV

"Bye sweetie, have fun. Come home for dinner okay. And have your cell phone with you for all times." My daughter is all grown up. Can't believe she is 16 years old.

"Leave her alone, Monique. She is an officially a young adult she can take of herself. Jeez" George said. Sometimes George can be annoying but I still love him.

"Our little girl is all grown up. Well, let's get show on the road, in this case, Mariana's Sweet 16 Party."

"Okay, George. But there is a little problem. I've been thinking, don't you think we should let Mariana something important, since you know, she's all grown up now." I was concern about this problem. I wanted to Mariana since was little that she was adopt. Still can't believe she hadn't notice anything wrong.

 "I have no idea what you are talking about Monique. My little girl does not need to know about anything that you are talking about"

"Really George, I thought you said Mariana is a young adult, not a little girl anymore, Anyways, She needs to know that she is adopted. The time is now George.".

George looked at me for a minute and finally agrees to the situation. "Okay fine we will tell her okay. Once again you won this conversation."

I laughed, "Yes, I do win very other conversation." I walked away with a smile on her face and continue to work on Mariana's party. George sighs and walked towards kitchen island, sat beside me and help with the party.

Mariana POV

"You look so beautiful Mariana" Kayla said with a happy tone. My Sweet 16 party theme is a Masquerade Ball. So I was looking for a princess type of dress that is not too fancy. "This dress is the one; it is the one to be"

 "You really think so Kayla." My dress is a pink simple strapless dress and on the bottom of the dress was flurry. "I mean you are absolutely right, the dress is great but don't you think it's too simple for a Masquerade Ball."

 "Absolutely not, Mariana, it's just right for you."

"Okay you are the expert on fashion." I said trying to boost up Kayla's self-esteem, Kayla wants to become a fashion designer. "I will take it, plus it will look great with the mask that I brought."

"See I am an expert, you are so lucky to have as a friend." Kayla said while walking towards the cashier, and I followed behind and could not help it but smile at my best friend.
