Chloe's Pov

It was 5 days until the ball and tonight was the royal dinner. It was the dinner where most adults got drunk so the kids did as well. All families respected and royals who have came to visit. Which meant Kara,Eva,and Kailie. Kailie wasn't that wealthy but her family was well respected for their line of work. I was excited of course but also not absolutely ecstatic of how Ava and Clara will act. Lately both have asking me about Timothee and each other. They seem to have a weird sister feud. I didn't mind the questions but god when those two were in the same room it was in tolerable. Not only was it all of them but also mother and fathers fancy adults. As people arrived I waited on the palace stairs waiting for my friends to show up. Finally all three walked in together wearing their best dining dresses. Ava and Clara then came down together and I figured it was my job to introduce them to one another.

"Ava you remember Kara,Eva,and Kailie." I say politely,"Everyone this is Ava's sister Clara."

"Step sister." Ava muttered. "Its a pleasure to see you all again."

We all stared at one another wondering what kind of night we have gotten ourselves into. It was around 6pm when everyone gathered around the extensive dinning table. The drinks were passed around and then the food. It was overwhelming to say the least. Everyone talking over one another. I zoned out until I was dragged into a conversation between my friends and the two royal sisters. Both my friends and the sisters being slightly intoxicated.

"Chloe, Who do you think is right? Me or Clara?" Kara asks

"What are you each arguing about." I ask

"Whether or not petticoats are necessary. I say they're not because the dress doesn't always need to be poofy and they are extremely uncomfortable."

"And I say that they bring together the outfit and the wear is neither uncomfortable or comfortable." Clara says telling her side.

"Kailie is agreeing with Clara,Ava with me, and Eva's undecided." Kara explains

"I agree with both of you in some way or another." I say," I think that yes while they are uncomfortable they also do bring the outfit together."

"You can't just agree with both." Ava says snottily.

"And why can't she." Clara says. "Just because she wasn't immediately on your side does not mean she's not allowed to have an opinion."

"I never said that she wasn't allowed to have an opinion. So stop putting words into my mouth like you always do."

"I never put words in your mouth, I'm just explaining how I interpreted what you said."

"Guys stop." Eva says.

"YOU DO PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH."

" I DO NOT."

"You do but it's whatever." Ava says as she gets up from her seat done with her food.

I get that their sisters or step sisters and whatever but could they please shut up. All my friends raced up to go get Ava and make sure she was okay. Clara left the dinning table as well so I was now by my lonesome self. I decided to leave as the eyes of everyone looking at our little scene was overwhelming. I have a feeling my friends are a bit more than just tipsy. As when I found them they were all messing around in Ava's room acting a bit crazy. I decided to just leave them be and went back down to the party to talk to more over fancy adults.

Kailie's Pov

After the big yelling explosion between Ava and Clara all of us decided to go up to Ava's room. We may or may not have stolen a bottle of champagne from the kitchen. It's not like it was terribly wrong for us to do it, but we had to sneak it. While in Ava's room we all passed around the bottle and talked. While in my hazy state of mind I noticed how Chloe wasn't here with us. I wanted to go find her but was having to much fun, so I decided against it. All 4 of us talked and laughed until it was time to leave. We hit each other with pillows and made jokes. Not until I got into the carriage did I think of Chloe again. She wasn't even there to say goodbye to us. I thought maybe she was busy saying bye to one of her grandparents or something like that. Before I could think any harder I see the prince. I never really ever stopped liking him. I said I did for the sake of my friend groups sanity but it's hard to put up a lie for so long. Tonight he looked absolutely charming and all during dinner I couldn't help but stare. During my day dreaming in the carriage he seemed to notice me staring and waved me goodbye. I smiled and waved back at him. I had no idea how long I was gonna be able to hold off on these feelings. I rode off still slightly drunk and once home went into my room to write down my thoughts in my journal. After 30 minutes I blew out my candles and crawled into bed. Hoping for sweet dreams to come and for them to turn into real life events.

Third person pov:

As all the girls settled they all had some struggle. The three girls in the palace all tossing and turning from differentiating reasons. Clara from tonight's outburst,Ava from the intoxication,and Chloe from the stress and anxieties of the future celebrations. While the three girls who attended the ball all slept soundly. All drunk off of champagne. The two who didn't go to the dinner both were thinking of the same problem but different ways to solve it. Taylor wanted to get revenge, she wanted to make Space jealous and at the ball was when she would do it. Space on the other hand was diverting a plan to win back her admirers attention. Every single one of them all had one thing in common that night. That night they all realized that all of them play a huge part in the others life. Whether it is intentional or not.
