Left Alone

Chapter 10

I ran downstairs in my gown. I was excited. However, I almost tripped and people around me in their fancy gowns stared at me, but somehow elegantly. I felt embarrassed and out of the crowd, so I tried to walk as gracefully as I could.

In the Tea Room, there is one BIG table around the center, and small tables everywhere like a Café. At the corner, there was a coffee and tea machine. And cups. Lots and lots of cups.

Mother sat at the largest table, with a few others. I'm guessing Mother rents the Palace like a hotel for money.

I gracefully walked over to the table. There sat Cathlyn and Juliana. Great. The two meanest sisters. And that also leads to another conclusion, that Mariam is off at school.

Ughhhhhh!!!!! Whatever for so I thought that my life was getting better, and when I finally escaped from the basement and was never to be alone again, I feel like I'd rather move back into the basement.

Trying not to think what would happen next, I sat down.

Cathlyn and Juliana stared at me like I was a Anteater crawling up the Eiffel Tower. They started to whisper. Mother noticed and whispered scolding to them.

Now I supposed only royal blood and permitted people could sit at the largest table.

Mother started to speak. I sucked in my breath, and the Tea came out.
