Academy Of Gods And Monsters

The garden party was beautiful it was set inside the grand greenhouse decorated with white hydrangea and baby breath the long and winding glass table in the middle of the glass house was set with even more white and green flower arrangements and light picking of breakfast which looked as if it was only on there for display. I would be lieing if i said it wasn't the most beautiful site I've seen in ages. There were reporters in the main entrance and only a few hand selected high class reporters inside. Mum and dad were answering questing from an old reporter mum seem to kno. I grinded my teeth when a certain reporter asked me ;
" Odette are we right in assuming you will be giving up your medical studies to follow your mothers path ?"
To which i innocently replied
" are you sad enough to waste your life 'assuming' about my life " my voice was sweet dripping with venom especially when i emphasised on the word 'assuming', it was equal to judging all through my life people have been judging me thinking ive only used my pretty face and family name to get me where i am as if they cant believe a 16 year old would have been able to study medicine look at me now waiting for my third year of medicine, and was often referred to as a prodigy.
My loving father intervined however and made light of the situation.
"Oddy the poor lady won't understand your sense of humor." I felt my straight serious face soften hearing my fathers voice, my dads hand were intertwined with my beautiful mother she seemed more relaxed than both of us.
"What Odette means to say is she wants others to respect her privacy, you do understand darling." Mum seemed seriously proud of me.
The reporter looked comforted in my mums presence, mum was used to my snarky remarks, she never felt angered though. She seem to take pride in my every stuid d esitions.

Its been more than twenty minutes im sure, i remember asking to be exvcused and went out for some air outside, which was the back of the grand greenhouse i was accompanied by James who made a late entry. He looked great in his grey tux tailors according to his mother. Mrsstark is a lady but she loved me and often encourages James meetings with me, i knew it was because she knew her son wasn't straight but she would not go down without fight before accepting it James. Stark family is great and James is the Heir of his father's unknown business.
We were both sat on a garden swing. I was snuggled in to James broad chest as he had wrapped his one arms around me. The roof of the garden swing protecting from falling snow.
I would have kicked off the heels if it weren't for the cold.
"Oddy We must be crazy to be staying out here while there's warmth and food inside"
"Yeah we should go inside. It was just stuffy in there you know?" I felt bad that James was cold because of me.

I gave him his grey tux which he had offerd to me when he saw my shiver, he was always so caring and kind. It would have been easy to just be in a relationship with James it would please his mother and the media.
My usual slightly tanned skin looked pale in the night.
I had walked ahead only to realise James was taking his time putting on his suit.
I held out my hand waiting for James knowing the gesture would hurry him up. With the feeling of being watched i turned my head to have a camera flash at me, my eyes took on the deadly glare.
"James hurry up, some shit face took a picture of me"
James was beside me within a second.
"Its fine lets get inside"
James and I had joined the table late mrs Stark had urged me to eat more and she had placed some strawberry and raspberry on my plate. My mum raised her perfect eyebrows at het gesture. James and my dad stiffiled their laughs.
"Thankyou mrs Stark" i smiled at her.
"How many times do i have to tall you young lady to call me Grace. Eat up honey you too James"
"Thankyou Grace" Grace relaxed and smiled proudly at me.
While she elegantly sipped on her tea.
Her blonde short hair made her look fabulous.
I felt nervous as if she expected something of me. I felt the stares of other people on the table maybe the found me a freak with my unusual eye colours and hair made me seem more unearthly with this delcate dress.
James and i had taken extra helping of eggs and bacon with toast.
