Princess in Disguise [ Michael Clifford ]

One

+ Ariella +

"Oh, you're awake." Said Mr. Clifford after I finally woke up from my deep slumber.

We parked in front of this large house and Mr. Clifford opened the car door for me. I went out and it's morning already. I looked around and saw a very normal village. Yes, I found everything normal because this is more normal than my village back home.

 Mr. Clifford took my suitcases and we entered a house. The house looks like Modern Victorian and I found it very comforting. Reminds me of home, actually. 

"This will be your house for few months, Princess Ariella." Said Mr. Clifford, I return my gaze from the house to him.

"Thank you for everything, Mr. Clifford." I said as I smiled then bowed a little.

"No worries, Princess Ariella. Also, please don't call me Mr. Clifford anymore just call me Daniel." He said, making me nod. 

Lou and I went to our own rooms and I changed my clothes. I wore this sweatpants and another shirt before Daniel called me downstairs for brunch. I sat down on a bar stool, facing him and Lou.

"Princess Ariella, I will set few rules for you to follow as you stay here." He said, making me nod. 

"First, Never talk about Cheriwin outside. Second, You can't tell anyone that you are a princess. Third, Never talk to strangers. Fourth, As you introduce yourself don't say Princess Ariella." He explained, making me nod again. 

"Understood?" He asked with a smile plastered on his face.

"Yes, Mr. Cliff- I mean Daniel." I smiled back.

"Also, if someone asked if we are related say no and you should say that you are my best friend's step daughter." Daniel said. 

"Why should I say no? I mean you're my guardian, right?" I asked, before taking a bite of a small piece of cake.

"Because if they knew that we are related, they might put my family in danger too." He explained.

We heard few voices behind the kitchen door, making Daniel opened it. It shows four boys, standing. One was really tall with blonde hair, the other has curly hair and dimples, the other has dyed hair and has a smug look on his face, and the last guy has black hair and beautiful eyes.

"Michael! Did you invite your friends again?" Daniel asked the tall boy with dyed hair and which is named Michael.

"Obviously, Dad." The guy rolled his eyes. They all went in and the guy looked at me. 

"Oh, It's Cinderella! How may I help you, Princess." Said the guy as he bowed then grinned.

 "Oh, I am perfectly fine! Thank you so much for asking." I smiled.

"I am being sarcastic." He muttered before his grin suddenly disappeared.

"Princess Ariella, This is my son. Michael and his friends." Introduced Daniel. 

"Hi I'm Ashton." Said the curly haired guy, he offered his hands and I stared at it. What am I suppose to do? I bowed slightly and he did the same, awkwardly. 

"I'm Luke." Said the blonde guy. We both bowed to each other, Thank god it wasn't that awkward.

 "Calum Hood." Said a dark haired guy and we did the same.

"Hello, I am Ariella." I waved, making them smile. Wow, They are like my first normal friends.

 "You're from United Kindom, right?" Asked Ashton. 

"Not exactly, I mean near UK. Almost in UK." I smiled. 

"Alright! Michael, Why don't you hang out with Princess Ariella?" Said Daniel as he went upstairs.

"So, your highness. Do you met your Prince Charming already?" Said Michael as they sat on the dining table. His tone wasn't nice, in fact it is more like sarcastic.

"Oh, Does Princess Mermaid don't like what I said?" He pouted, making frowned a little. This guy is annoying me. 

"Michael, be nice." Scolded Luke then looking back at me.

 "I am just asking." He defended himself with his obnoxious smirk. 

"I think we should change your name." Said Calum, making Luke and Ashton nod but Michael frown.

"What about.. Ariel? Or Ella? Or Ariana?" Said Calum. 

"Hmm.. I like Ella." Said Luke, I nodded. 

"Alright! Now you are Ella. But your last name?" Said Ashton.

"What about.. Burgundy?" Asked Ashton. 

"Come on guys. This is lame. You should name her Ella Banana." Complained Michael. 

"Why are you being so mean to me?" I finally said.

"Because, we don't need a whiny bitch in our house." He said then resting his feet on the dining table, making me cringe. Does this guy even has any manners?

"Well, I didn't choose to be here." I said, crossing my arms.

"Look, Princess Rapunzel. We are not here to be friends with you. I don't care if you are rich or not, but you are like all of them. Annoying little babies who gets whatever they want." Spit Michael.

"I-i'm not like that." I muttered, as tears are forming in my eyes. 

"I am different." I said. 

"Trust me, Princess Snow White. I met a lot of person like you." He said and left.

 Maybe this is why Mommy and Daddy never let me go out. Because people can hurt you that easy. I turned to look at Ashton, Luke and Calum but they also left. 

I went to my room and stayed there. I just wanted a friend, I really don't understand how Michael can be so rude to me. You see, back in Cheriwin, I can't go out and play with other people. All of my friends are from Royal families and also snobbish.

 My parent's expected me to grow up like the other princess out there. Beautiful, Smart, Charitable, Kind, Giving or Noble. I am none of those. My 'Friends' can speak over 10 different languages and I can speak only one, Which is English. 

I don't know where are my parents and what is happening to our land. I don't even know if my family is still alive. I finally decided to roam around the house. There are 5 bedrooms, a huge kitchen, a garage, 3 bathrooms, a living room, a garden and a pool. 

"Why do you hate Ella so much?" Said Calum. I followed the voice and it was from the garage. I did my best to hide and eavesdrop. 

"She's a whiny bitch." Michael said. 

"She's nice." Said Ashton. 

"Come on. She's a spoiled brat." Said Michael while fixing his guitar.

 "You realize she doesn't have any friends, right?"Said Luke. 

"Like I give damn." He said.

"Give her a chance, Michael." Said Calum. 

"She's a fucking bitch, alright? I hate her! All I want to do with her is to ruin her perfect life." Spat Michael. I was trying to get closer but I freaking tripped.

"Ow!" I yelled. I looked up and they are looking at me.

I stood up quickly and ran. Tears are falling in my eyes as I ran. I don't know, I just ran on the sidewalk. I can hear Ashton calling my name as I ran. Yes, you can now call me Runaway Princess. I ended up in a Park. I sat down under a tree and cried. Maybe this is the time to let out all of my feelings. This is the perfect time.
