Quinn is your average high school girl. She has three younger bothers, her mom and her dad. She has a crush on her best guy friend. She's one of three girls in a friend group of five. Pretty average right? Well, wrong she's also a princess and she's...
After working on homework and possible castle renovations it was already 5:00. I heard a shallow knock on my bedroom door.
"Come in" I hollered over my shoulder. Mallory walked with a small basket, which I knew by now was the stuff for a bath. You know bath bombs and such.
"Good evening Miss Quinn, your Mother sent me up to get you ready for the party tonight. Are you ready?"
I completely forgot. On the first day of school every year my parents host a party/banquet.
They invite all of their friends, my friends, Caleb's friends, Cupid's friends and Peters friends. You'd think it would be chaos, but it's not since there's so many people. They even host it in the dining hall and ballroom!
"Yes if you could go ahead and start the bath that would be lovely. Also remember just call me Quinn when my parents aren't around." She giggles and shakes her head before walking to the bathroom.
I closed my folders and put them away. No doubt at the party tonight my parents will have invited a bunch of boys around my age. She's so eager for me to marry, if I don't marry soon a whole Cinderella type thing will happen.
You know the giant ball where I have to find someone to marry. Ugh that would be awful.
Mallory interrupted my thoughts "Miss Quinn your baths ready."
~~~~~~~~~
I got out of the bath and changed into a ballroom dress and heals. (Below) Mallory put my hair into a braided bun and placed my silver tiara with white gems on it, on my head.
She pinned it in place with several bobby pins. She then put some light make up on me.

I glanced at the time and it was now 7:10. That was just enough time for me to get down stairs for my entrance as "Eligible Princess". I walked to the stairs that led into the ballroom.
I walked up to the door by the landing and one of the 2 guards by the door stepped out and yelled in a peaceful tone "You have seen his and her highness King Johnathan and Queen Elena." He paused as it echoed around the silent room.
"You have seen Prince Caleb, Prince Peter and Prince Cupid." He paused once again.
"Now please welcome her highness..." oh god the suspense I mumbled rolling my eyes. "Princess Quinn Colette Agnes!" The second he finished he and one other guard opened the door and i stepped out onto the balcony.
A polite applause begun from someone on the dance floor and everyone joined in shortly after. Once the applause died down I curtseyed and begun my painfully slow decent down the stairs. Once I reached the bottom I curtseyed again and walked over to my family's table.
The table consisted of my parents, my brothers, my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles and my cousins. My parents at the heads of the table and me right next to my mom showed my soon right of power. Everyone else sat down once I had made it to the table.
I glanced around the room to see tons of my friends and my family's friends and several people I didn't know. Some of which probably the townspeople. My mother stood up and walked over to the live orchestra on the stage above us.
She took the microphone and started her speech. "Good Evening Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, Dukes and Duchesses, ladies and gentleman. It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our annual school banquet." She paused as people clapped.
"As always we have several lovely kitchen help, maids and butlers this evening to serve everyone. If you could help them speed up getting food out to everyone by filling out your order on the ticket by your napkin. They will be collecting them and bringing around Champagne, Wine, Water or for the little ones Water or Sparkling lemonade."
"We will have 5 corses tonight. Firstly an appetizer, Secondly your choice of soup. Thirdly, a side dish of your choosing. Fourthly, your choice of meet. We have fish, turkey, pork, steak and lamb. Fifthly, desert of your choosing. In the mean time feel free to dance." She paused and glanced at me with a small smile, This can't be good.
"Tonight any gentleman aged 15, 16, 17 or 18 will be required to dance with my daughter- her highness, Princess Quinn." Oh god no.
Hello I hope you enjoyed the chapter it's a bit longer than usual.
