Even since she had read Cinderella has a little girl, Clare Edwards has had a image of the perfect "Prince" in her head. Kind, Considerate, Loyal, he would be smart and hardworking, placing others above himself and hopefully (she always crossed her fingers for this one) he would be handsome. All in all A real Prince among men, a man just for her some she could call "Mine". An with this idea formed in her head, the obsession began..
The first try was in sixth grade, with a boy whose name she'd forgotten over the years. He'd been blonde haired and blue eyed, with the perfect smile and cutest dimples. He held her hand in between classes, went with her to church and once even stole a kiss upon her cheek during had been sure she'd found Prince Charming, but three weeks later he moves out of Canada to some state she'd never heard of, he had moved away and Clare moved on...
In 9th grade K.C Gunthrie skateboarded his way into her life. If Clare had ever had a picture of what the perfect Prince should look like, it would have to be KC, shaggy brown hair, beautiful eyes, and a body to die for (not that she noticed that..ok maybe once or twice) She'd been positive that this time she'd found her prince. He was smart, caring, he'd made her laugh. Didn't;t mind the ring on her finger or the fact that she was considered the smart girl. He was the first kiss and the first time she'd fallen head over heels.. But soon after she realized the Prince number 2 was more of s jerk who had a thing for Busty blondes in spirit squad uniforms.
Third times the charm right, that's what Clare was assuming. If any one had the Prince Persona it was Prince Number 3...Declan Coyne, walked, talked, dressed and lived that part of Royalty. He was the secret fantasy only Alli knew of (well until she realzied Holly J read fan fiction). But Declan was definitely prince material...But with Unlucky number three Clare learned a very important ( and some what embarrassing) point..Stay away from Prince whom already seemed to have found his princess ( no matter how much you think she seems more of the ugly step-sister)
Clare Edwards was pretty sure she gave up the idea of Prince Charming, the day Eli Goldsworthyliterally drove into her life. He was the perfect opposite of the picture she had firmly stored in her mine...From the top of his black hair to the combat boots on his feet..he was sarcastic, rude, angry with a just don't give a hit attitude. He lived to annoy her and take her out of her element. He got her to skip class for the first time, which led to the first detention. He was full of dark secrets and could break her heart with few words and a cold glance.. But none of that seemed to matter because his emerald eyes called to her, and while KC had been the first kiss, Eli Goldsworthy blew him out of the water...Yes Clare Edwards had it figured out the day she met Eli why the prince's never seemed to work out. Because why would she want some sissy prince charming, when she had her very own hearse driving Emo hottie?
