Their Queen

Chapter 2

I opened my eyes and smiled as the sunlight poured through the window. Brandon's arm was wrapped around my waist, and his forehead was touching the back of mine.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." I whispered softly into his ear.

He groaned, "I never get to sleep in bed with you, I'm not getting up." He protested.

"Yes you are, after I do," I paused, he seemed to stiffen, "-this," I tickled him. He rolled off the bed and fell with an 'oof ' on the ground.

"Hey!" He laughed, he jumped back on the bed and began to tickle me, I shrieked with laughter before we both rolled off the bed and tackled each other on the ground.

"Monica Jasmine Lane! What are you doing?" Emily gasped. She somehow pulled Brandon off of me and got me up. We both laughed. Emily raised her eyebrow, "Get out of the room, Blondie! I'm giving Monica a makeover!"

Brandon chuckled and ruffled my hair playfully before he left.

"Emily! Why a makeover?" I asked.

"Duh, the ball!" Emily cheered.

Oh.

She grabbed a chair and made me sit down in front of my vanity, "Wait! You need to take a shower first!" She rolled her eyes at herself, "Silly me!"

"What about you and Jess?" I asked as she pushed me into the bathroom.

"Jessy is coming in later, and we are going to do our makeup all together!" She giggled before shutting he door behind me.

Sigh.

I spent two hours in the bathroom then stepped outside in a white, fluffy, towel.

"Finally! Now sit here!" Jessy ordered.

She probably came during my shower.

She applied a light pink blush on my cheeks before giving me some eyeliner. She gave me a bright, cherry red lipstick and studied me on the mirror, "You look alright! Now wear your dress on."

I wore it on and twirled, I truly looked beautiful. Once Jessy and Emily were over, it was about 5:20pm. They both looked amazing!

"More like sexy!" Jessy laughed.

We stepped outside. From my house, it was a 15 minute drive to the castle. Emily laughed at what she saw outside.
Some girls hired a carriage to take them to the castle.

"Wow." I chuckled, they really wanted to make an impression. Jessy stopped laughing when she saw a carriage pull up to us.

There was a man inside, "You ride is here, mam's," The guy opened the door for us and waited for us to get in.

"Well, lets go?" Jessy said slowly before stepping into the carriage. Emily and I followed.

"Wow! It's beautiful!" Emily squealed in delight.

I smiled at her behavior before looking outside the small window. All I could see were a blur of trees and the steady trotting of the horses. Awhile later we arrived at the palace. It was so grand and beautiful, it looked like it glowed. I wonder what it's like to live in there. I thought, probably never going to happen.
