Black Lily

1

I groaned as the sun peered in through my window. It's shining RIGHT IN MY FUCKING EYES!!!!! I roll onto my back and open my eyes. Today was the day. Before I did anything I got up and walked to the bathroom in my room. I opened the mirror grabbed my toothbrush and paste and then shut the window. I jumped and shrieked at the sudden sight of me. I had the absolute worst bed head. I decided to ignore it for now and just brush my teeth. I groaned at myself as i saw my cheeks move in and out whenever my toothbrush bumped up against them. For some reason I had a really round face and I didn't like it. Like where does it even come from? My mom's face isn't round and my dad's face looks like a god chiseled it from stone. So somewhere in the family tree someone really messed up. I spat into the sink and then washed my mouth and face, I looked in the mirror yet again. Yep, my face is still fat. It's odd, the rest of my body is well toned and I'm rather skinny, it's just my face that's really off. I look like some eighteen year old's stupid OC! I sighed and pulled my hair back and brushed it, I then started to pull it back near the top of my head into a ponytail. I looked around for a hairband, there was none. Fuck. How do I not have any hairbands?! I walk into my room and look around still holding my hair up like an idiot. A knock came from my door, "Princess Dark? Are you awake?" Fuck! It's my maid in waiting.

"Uhhh, yes! Just a minute!"

"Your mother said to bring you these clothes for today."

"What's today again?" I slap myself in the face. You fucking idiot, you know what today is!

"It's challenge day, we are going to find you a suitable husband." I hear her slide open the door. Our castle is in that traditional Japanese style with the sliding doors. But we have some modern things like the bathrooms, the beds, and hey we got great Wi-Fi so I'm not complaining. Wait! She's opening the door!

"Uhhhh..." I look around, "Don't come in! I am so naked!" I jumped in bed and quickly covered myself up when the door slides open all the way. I wasn't really naked I had pajamas on, I just didn't want her to come in. Welp, since she opened the door you might as well meet her. This is Tilly, she's my maid in waiting. She's not fat but she has some meat on her. She's more thicc than anything. Wait a minute...did I just describe my maid in waiting as thicc?!

"Anyways," she smiled walking in, "Your mother said to bring you these," she set some clothes on the green chair in the corner. "She made them specially for you, just for today."

"Thank you Tilly." I said trying to avoid conversation. Tilly is a talkative type and-

"So today I was looking out the window," and there she goes again. Ugh! "And there was this boy, well like he's not really my type like I go for the musicians really myself, but anyways you might like him." Shut up. Shut up. Shut up! "He was rather tall and rather handsome, I think he's a general in our army. If he's single then maybe my soldier thing will come back. Nah! Who am I kidding my soldier thing hasn't really gone away!" She laughed with a little snort, I laughed too extremely uncomfortable about this whole situation. I'm not the type of girl to talk about boys and dating, I'm more the type of girl that sees a whale and says LOOK AT THIS FISH I'M GONNA WRESTLE IT and then perform a body slam on it. Tilly....well she's an odd ball. The only reason why we keep her around is because of her special needs, but she's a sweetheart and she means well. I just wish she wouldn't talk so much. "So I was thinking," Holy fucking rabies she's still talking!!!! "Maybe after challenge day is all said and done do you wanna hang out? Like just you and me? We could have a girls night out. We could go see the town and I could totally go make out with that general guy."

"Yeah....sure." I said with a nervous smile. I mean, I literally have nothing better to do. I normally sit in bed after my day is done and binge watch the shit out of One Piece, I swear on my mother's grave I'm gonna finish that show.

"Sweet, and if it's alright with you we can have a sleep over." She looked around to see if anyone was listening then leaned into me, "That's when lesbian experimentation can open." NO! I am as straight as a nail! Oh shit! Nails can be bent!

"Yeah...totally."

"Awesome! I've never had a sleep over before!"

"I can't imagine why..." I looked at her, "Can you leave now? I'd like to get dressed."

"Hm?" she perks up, "Oh yeah! I'm sorry, I'll leave you too it!" She smiles and then gets up and leaves my room shutting the door behind her.  I sighed, poor Tilly what am I ever gonna do with her? I got out of bed, I was still holding onto my hair and I looked around for a hair tie. I looked high and low until I gave up, I went to my wall and pulled a four-star shuriken out of the wall and just put my hair through the hole in the center. It stayed on pretty well. I looked at myself in the mirror, at 12 I realized that I got my dad's weird uneven spikes and I would have to live with it. But the rest of my hair was fine. I smiled, with the shuriken in my hair I looked ready to kick ass! Which makes me think of fighting. I learned to fight from watching Bruce Lee movies growing up, so I use his style Jeet Kune Do which at it's base is Wing Chun but with so much more added on. I'm like one of those bad ass princesses that are in anime.

I turn around and look at the clothes on the chair. I sighed, my mom always picks the lamest things for me to wear. They either show off too much skin, or not enough skin, never in between. I walked over to the clothes preparing for the worst. I picked them up and to my surprise they were fashionable, like I could go outside and not be embarrassed that I'm wearing it! I stripped down to my underwear and put the clothes on. It was a tight green long-sleeved shirt with pink flowers on it, alone with some long loose black pants so no one could tell I wasn't wearing shoes! Suddenly Tilly knocked again, "Princess Dark, your mother is waiting for you."

"Yeah! I'll be out in a bit!" I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. Today was going to be a great day!
