Why I Became Meek

Chapter 3

Note: I hope you enjoyed chapter 2. Thank you for reading my story.

I took a quick shower to destink myself after all the work I did. I wished I had time to revel the in the fact that Aunt Thelsey can take everything away from me but friendship and hot water. But I couldn't I had to hurry and get dressed so I could serve the girls lunch.

While I was changing I examined the dress Josh had made me. It was the color of a clear ocean, fitted at the top with a corset like bodice and it looked like it would hit me mid calf. If I were to wear this I would be in so much trouble. Aunt Thelsey would probably make me give it to Jane or Kelly.

I tried to resist trying it on, for I knew once I had it on I wouldn't want to take it off, but I couldn't. It fit perfectly. It made my belly look flat, I wouldn't say that I'm fat but I'm definitely not a super model, I looked at my self in the mirror that I kept hidden under my bed. The dress made me look stunning, it complimented my sandy blonde hair, made my blue grey eyes pop, and brought out the color in my cheeks.

"Oh my" I screamed when I saw Josh leaning against my door frame reflecting in the mirror.

"Hey" Josh chuckled "the dress looks great on you."

"Thanks" I spun around and gave him a big hug. "I can't believe you made this within a few hours."

"It took more than a few hours more like a few days" he said proudly.

"You should sell it then" I said trying to take it off so he could have it back.

He pushed my arms down to my sides. "It's yours you goon. I don't want to sell it, I want you to wear it tonight."

"What's tonight?"

"A banquet at the palace, and I was wondering if you'd be my guest" he asked.

"What? Why me? I thought you were taking Cicily to the banquet..." I stammered.

"I don't want to take her. I want to take you; Liz. She's to high maintaince, plus you're best friend. If you go with me I might actually enjoy myself. We can joke around and goof off. You can have a night off from being Thelsey's slave."

"That sounds fun... Are you doing to get back at Thelsey for the mattress thing" I asked. Josh has never liked how Thelsey treats me. He always helps me out when ever he can, like sharing his bed with me. I don't know what I'd do without his friendship.

"Partly. I also want you to get out of the house... You're as white as a ghost. And who knows maybe you'll even meet one of the princes" he said with a hopeful smile.

"In my dreams. The princes will never notice me." I know its silly but I've always wanted to meet the first and only princes of the USA, the democracy crashed in 2023, the year that I was born, and the country decided to try a monarchy.

"I'll go, but you must not object when Thelsey sends me to work in the kitchen. The fact that I'm going with you is going to make her mad and I'll probably suffer a beating, but if you object to something she will take away Alexis's supper,or worse she will beat her" I finished with a shutter.
