The Angel and the Teddy Bear

Chapter 1

And this is how the story unfolds, two girls meeting by the edge of Ever After High, if you listen closely you can hear their murmurs.

"Okay, what do you want to study first?" asked Blondie, setting her textbooks down in the grass by Cupid. "I know that I need to look over Dwarf History before the exam tomorrow."

Cupid smiled to see Blondie at their secret study spot on the edge of Ever After High, just barely into the woods. "Yeah I'd love to go over Dwarf History with you, but first, I had a question."

"Oh, well what is it?" Blondie replied, looking up from her textbook that she had been shuffling through.

"Um, do you like anyone? I was just wondering because.. uh, I could like help, you know? I've got that whole bow and arrow thing going on." asked Cupid, laughing to sound less awkward.

"Oh. Well not really, I'm more focused on my friends, schoolwork, and my mirror blog right now." Blondie said, returning to her textbook. "And besides, I don't really think I have a prince in my story."

Cupid sighed and looked down at her own textbook. She always thought Blondie seemed so sad and distant and Cupid hoped Blondie would open up to her. And something Cupid could hardly admit was she was beginning to have feelings for Blondie. This wasn't very special, although, considering how Cupid developed feelings for people often. Cupid just wanted to find true love, and yet something about this was different. Cupid didn't know how to pursue this, though. Were her feelings different because Blondie was a girl, and Cupid had never had feelings for a girl before, or was it because this could be the real thing? And besides, Blondie probably wouldn't like Cupid in the same way.

"Does it have to be a prince?" Cupid asked, immediatly regretting how obvious her question was.

"What do you mean?" Blondie asked, brushing her blonde curls off her shoulder as she peered up from her textbook once more.

"Oh, I don't know, I guess Maddie's wonderlandiful jabber is wearing off on me and I'm not making sense. Want to go back to our dorm room and study? I know this is our study spot but I've suddenly become tired and want to look over my books in bed." Cupid said, with a fake yawn. Of course she wasn't really tired. She was just saddened by the thought of falling for yet another person and not having the feelings returned. Cupid felt hopeless for an angel of love.

"Sure," Blondie smiled understandingly. "Here, take my hand. You can lean on me if you get too tired on the walk back. And studying will be lots of fun in bed! I'll join you, we can eat ice cream! You know, it's funny how we have been roommates all year and haven't had a fun sleepover night."

Cupid brightened up and felt a surge of energy as she grabbed Blondie's hand, trying not to hold too tight. "That is funny," Cupid managed to get the words out through the smile she was hiding.The two girls held on to eachother as they made their way back to their dorm.
