CM series: S1- Akuya Arc

9. Stephanie

It was the next day, when the loud airhorn sounded through the whole mansion to wake everyone up. "Ugg!" moaned Erin, laying up in her bed. "just let me get my beauty sleep!" After a another second, it stopped. But then, Maggie burst into Ella, Erin and Sheila's room, banging baking trays together. "GET UP! GET YOUR BUMS OUT OF BED!" she yelled. "Really?!" Ella moaned, waking up. "YAH-HAR!" Maggie replied, smacking the trays louder. "Maggie, darling, do be quieter, and stop this noise! " Erin angrily demanded, lifting her sleeping mask. "Not until Sheila is up!" shouted Maggie, smacking the trays fiercely. "UP!" Just then, Sheila blinked and got up. "Why is there a drummer here?" she yawned, rubbing her eyes. "It's not a drummer, Sheila," Rita answered, entering the room along with Tina. "it's Maggie being an absolute numpty."

"I'm being the Baker tray alarm," Maggie stated, dropping her trays and taking of her shirt, revealing her chest. "That's an inappropriate view!" gasped Erin, putting her sleeping mask back on. "Why we all so dull this morning?" Maggie groaned. "Maybe because you woke us up with baking trays?" Tina replied sassily. "Whatever, let's get dressed," Rita suggested, without caring about anything. After the girls got dressed, the went back down to the ground floor to the the Breakfast hall. It was very grand, but it was packed with all the girls in the mansion. "Holy macaroni!" Maggie cried. "Let's just get through them and grab ourselves a buffet," Rita said. The girls luckily were able to get past the massive crowds and get their breakfast and sat at a clear table without chaos around it.

"I can't wait to eat these pancakes!" Erin exclaimed, about to take a forkful. As soon as she attempted to eat it, a dollop of strawberry jam hit her face, dripping onto her plate. "Mmmm!" she growled, opening her eyes. "Ok, who did tha-" Tina started, and then she was hit by marmite on toast. "What the!!?" she cried. "Look behind us," Ella said, then the others turned around and glared. Behind them were a table of girls, holding catapults and piles of food. "Erm..." one of them awkwardly said. "We'll just..." the girls quickly ate their food then got up to clear their plates and leave. After breakfast, Erin and Tina washed for a second time to get rid of the food on them. Ella was walking down the hallway on the first floor, as she was going to meet up with Tina and Sheila in Library to read books.

On her way, something happened. "Hey there, loser!" a voice came. Ella was confused, then she turned around. She saw 4 girls standing there. The one in front had very long blonde hair, with valuable pink sunglasses over her eyes. She had pink heart shaped earrings, a blue dress with a bow attached to the front, a silver jacket and white designer heels. It was obvious that she was the leader. The second girl had mint hair with a small bun, a pink gown and pockets full of face masks and makeup. The third girl had blonde low space buns and had a red tutu dress with ballet shoes and ribbons, and the fourth girl had black curly hair, a silk blue dress and shiny heels. She also had a nervous look on her face.

"You are walking too slow, and you are tiring my feet out!" the leader complained. "and also, you're that normal fairy without royalty, aren't you?" "Y-yes and w-w-who are y-you?" Ella nervously replied. The gang laughed, except the 4th girl, who stayed quiet. "You? Not know me?!" the leader meanly giggled. "I'm princess Stephanie of Orianna and-" "Get away from her, Stephanie!" shouted a voice from behind Ella. Ella turned around; it was Erin! Maggie and Rita were with her, and they all looked mad. "So, it's Princess Erin the fashion disaster," Stephanie purred, walking up to Erin like a model, her heels clopping loudly. "it looks like we meet again. I see you are with your pathetic followers!" "Leave Ella alone or else!" Maggie yelled, clenching her fists. "Or else what?" Stephanie grinned. "call your mama for backup? Ha! I bet she doesn't even pay attention to you!" "Like how the only person who cares about you is a mirror," Rita said back. "Idiots!" Stephanie shouted. "absolute idiots! C'mon, girlies, let's leave these pathetic girls!"

Stephanie and 2 of her gang turned and walked away, but the other girl looked at them, looking like she felt bad for them. "Melanie!" barked one of the girls. "Steph said let's go!" Then Melanie ran off, catching up with Stephanie. "Who was that?" Ella asked, relieved that her friends saved her. "Her name is Stephanie," Erin replied, sighing. "she is the princess of Orianna, the richest kingdom in the magic universe. Her mother is the queen, and Stephanie thinks she is the best because of that." "What a spoilt brat," Rita exclaimed. "I met her when I was younger, we were at a fashion show for little girls, I won and she came second, she became jealous and has hated me ever since," Erin continued. "that's how we know each other."

"Well, let's ignore 'Little miss perfect' for now," Ella suggested. She thanked her friends for standing up for her and went off to the library. "C'mon," Erin said. "Let's go back to the dorm..."
