If You Give A Girl A Crown

Chapter 5

"So bangs, or...?" Asked a fit looking man with a bad haircut. I gave him a sour face, suggesting that I don't quite like the idea.

"Maybe a couple layers at the back, no dye and perhaps a side bang?" I question the man.

"Yes! I will start with the layers right away!" The man beams back. I sigh a breath of relief. Before the man does anything a lady walks over with a sparkly pin with my name on it. It was beautiful. After the lady walks away I go back to thinking on my hair.

"Me with bangs? No way!" I think to myself content that I've gotten my way so far with my hair, my image, and my wardrobe.

.o0o.

The tour around the castle by Michelle I never really listened to. I spent most of that time daydreaming or admiring the palace.

"And here are your rooms. Lady Lily Blackburn, here is your room, Lady Laura Wild here is your room, Lady Nicole Redy, here is your room..." I glance to my new friend Laura and we share a smile.

"We have rooms next to each other!" Squeals Laura obviously very excited.

"I know! This will be fun!" I say just as excited. My smile fades a little as I see Lily walking over to us.

"Don't forget about me!" Says Lily in a voice demonstrating fake enthusiasm. "We should paint each others nails and curls each others hair!" I flash an annoyed face Lily's way.

"Sorry Lily you'll have to find some different fake friends, Laura and I have anything better to do." Lily sneers at me in an ugly way, almost threatening.

"Watch your tongue." Lily says in a deadly manner.

"Or what?" I say equally as venomous as her. All of a sudden I see a fist fly at my jaw.

"Oh Nicole, are you ok?" Lily pulls me in for a hug and whispers in my ear.

"Cross me again and worse things will come your way." Lily gives me one last killer glance before her fake sympathy comes back to her face.

"Nicole your going to need ice," Michelle tells me, "you remember where the hospital wing is right?" Of course I didn't, I wasn't paying attention but I wasn't about to let Lily know that.

"Of course." I curtsied and left as fast as I could without running.

Once I was on the third floor it was as if they had put me in an entirely new palace. As I rounded the corner I bumped into a person half a head taller then me, he had beautiful blonde hair and he was dressed very nicely. I recognized him imedietly.

"Prince Mason!" I say, my voice sounding startled.

"Oh my apologies Lady..." Mason searches for my pin, "Nicole." I am so stunned I can't even talk. I just ran into a prince.

"Is your jaw ok?" Asked Prince Mason sounding genuinely concerned.

"Don't worry, it was just a punch from Lily, no biggie." I say somewhat sarcastically. Mason gasps.

"She hit you?" Mason asked sounding surprised.

"Well I understand why your so surprised and its because you haven't met Lily yet," Mason smiles and I feel the blood rush to my cheeks,"and I was just trying to find the hospital wing, I'm a little lost." Mason chuckles amused.

"Well for starters the hospital wing is the second floor," I laugh at how clueless that was of me,"would you like me to show you?" I nod my head.

"Lead the way."
