Riley Gridman, normal school girl. Or so she thought. Her life was going perfectly normal, high school nobody, single and crushing on her best friend.
Completely normal apart from the fact that on her prom night she caught her crush with another girl so ran away. Coincidentally this just so happened to be at the exact strike of midnight.
And, of course, that was the moment that she tripped over a shoe.
A glass slipper.
Cinderella's shoe.

"Please tell me your joking." Came a voice from behind me and I almost jumped out of my skin, still staring gripping the glass slipper so hard that I worried it was going to leave an indent in my hand.
I spun round, ballgown dress swishing around me as I did so. I tried to squint into the darknes but I saw no one, no one that could have possibly spoken in that mocking husky voice. I furrowed my eyebrows, shaking my head in confusion. I had been so sure I'd heard something...
"This has to be some kind of joke." The voice spoke again and this time there was a body to go with it. He stepped put of the shadows, a scowl etched on his face and looking all handsome in a suit. "They promised me the girl who picked up the shoe would be my true love and I get this. A teenage girl ehp just ran away because she saw her crush kissing someone." He chuckled darkly to himself, as if admiring his own bad luck. Honestly, I was too shocked to be offended. The boy ran his fingers through his dark hair, looking me up and down with a frown before smirking slightly. "Although, you are quite pretty. You'll make a good Princess, with a few adjustments of course."
