   TEN YEARS AGO

  I was walking down the stairs with my two cruel sisters, but who cares? I smiled as I loved my golden ball gown that my sister's made for me. And gold glass slippers like ones in Cinderella!! I went to the ballroom to see..... Adults! I saw people with big hairs, short hairs, long ball gowns!! I frowned. I turned to my Twelve year old sister.

"Betty, why are the big people here?"

"Release me would you!!" She snapped and walked to see PENELOPE!! the wicked best friend of my sister!! I need to find my place here!! I sat on a chair and looked at others talking, I sighed. Then I saw Muffins!! Yummy!! I ran there and took one in a plate, than two, and three, and one more. I danced back to where I sat and saw a boy in tux, he had black hair and green eyes. He's handsome!!

"Hello, kindly please evacuate from the chair for I know that a beautiful girl was the occupiar!!" I said. Eliza taught me about balls ethics so that I won't ' embarrass' her and this big words are also part. Never really do understand.

"Can you pass me the muffins please, I don't understand why little girls like you are maids. Or did Mr. Nelson pick you from the streets. Nice uniform by the way." He said. What? Maid!!

"Ma... mai...maid...." I stammered. He can't.

"Yes, your dressing is like the others!!" He said. I turned to see the maids wearing the same gold gown I was wearing. Those wicked sisters!!! She said the dress was a masterpiece and that I will look astoundi...... Astoundo?!??

"I am Elizabeth Nelson if you don't know and I am entitled to the seat you're on!!" I told him. He looked at me.

"You do look like a younger version of Mrs......"

"I am really dis...... disgust....disgusting for being treated like this!!" I said.

"You meant disgusted?" He told me.

"I am pretty sure it is Disgusting with a cherry on top!!" I said. And he shrug.

"Can I please sit now?" I asked him. He stood up and I sat.

"I am so sorry milady for mistaking you for a maid. That is highly disrespectful from my part." He told me.

"Are you from England?" I asked him.

"Nope, but my father wants me to speak like them because he calls them gentlemen." He replied.

"Oh!!"

"Pardon me, My name is James Orchard from the family of Leonard Orchard, and I am pleasured to be a guest in your party." He said.

"The pleasure is mine my honourable gentleman." I said. He giggled.

"It is time for dancing? Do you rather dance waltz or freestyle? Or jazz?" He asked.

"This is a major secret, I hate waltz!!" I said and he giggled.

"I hate being in balls, I hate talking like a gentleman, I hate the party in general." He said.

"This is my first ball!! Why? Any bad ex...... Experie...... Experim..... Experiment?" I asked him.

"You meant experience?" He asked.

"I think. I'm pretty sure it is experiment!!" I said

"Well I am pretty sure it is experience. With a cherry on top!!" He said and I nodded.
