Baby Princess

Chapter 6- Finding Hope

¥ Miranda's POV ¥

12 Years Later

"I'm going to kill you Mathew Jonathan Kenny!" Ugh I love him but he needs to stay out of my room.
"You can't kill me if you can't catch me!" He yelled back holding my favorite heels and my tiara. I sprint faster and I see the look of disbelief on his face as I tackle him to the ground.
"How do yo run in those things?" He asked while staring at my 2" heels.
"Practice and determination to beat you." I laughed out. Just then my mom and Dad turned the corner and saw us laughing on the ground. I went to get up and Matt did the same but my mom stopped us.
"Don't stop having fun because we're here." My mom laughed and kissed me on the head as she went. After they turned the corner Matt and I both doubled over in laughter.
"I thought we were going to be in trouble." Matt said.
"Nah. They really like that were so close." I replied giving him a big smile and then got up and took my stuff off the floor. Matt stood up and kissed me on the cheek before heading off in the opposite direction towards his room.
"Bye Matty!" I yelled after him down the hallway. "See you at dinner." I could feel my cheeks blushing from the kiss. It wasn't much but it was a start.

"Miranda, how lovely of you to join us." My Mother said as I walked into the dinning room just a few minutes late.
"I apologize Mother, I got very caught up in a good book and lost track of time." More like I fell asleep while reading and lost track of time but I'm not about to tell her that.
"It's fine darling you weren't that late." My father says as he winks at me. I think he knows. "Besides, Mathews parents aren't here yet." What! When did this get decided. I had no clue Matt's parents were coming for dinner.
"My parents are coming? When was this decided?" Matt asked in a confused voice so clearly he didn't know about it either. This should be a miserable dinner. Matt's parents, well to put it nicely, aren't always the sweetest people in the world. The last time I saw them they yelled at me because my hair was too red. Like who does that? I'll just have to be on my best behavior for tonight. I wish I could have my books with me.
