This was it for the whole year everybody had to dress up as a princess or prince. My school decides a theme every year for us to do and this year the theme picked was Disney.  Last year it was an American high schooler which wasn’t too bad and the year before that were pop singers. But this year it was Disney and we each were given a princess or prince each. For the whole year we had to dress like them. In either fancy dress or if they were a normal teenager.  None of us really liked this theme but our school is weird so we always had to be prepared for the worst. My friends were all discussing who they could be and would like to be. Not everybody would be a princess others would be the villains or second characters in Disney movies.   I was really not looking forward to this at all, especially because I would be spending the year with a boy known as my "prince". I only hoped, dreamed and wished it wasn't him....

Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.
