Raven's POV:
I hopped into the carriage. My mother looked at me aproovingly. " Must we go?" I asked. " I doupt if anyone will notice if we don't arrive." I continued. My mother frowned. " They will notice." She muttered. She smoothed out my hair and then my dress. " wheres youre corset.?" She asked while lifting up my skirts and petticoats.
" No stockings? You aren't properly dressed." She ranted. " If it was agreed that wearing a codfish on your head was what was proper, would you wear it?" I questioned. She furrowed her brow. " Father would have laughed." I whispered. She face was downcast. " I- I'm sorry."
Mother smiled and said, " you're beautifull." She then took off her necklace and put it on me. The carriage stopped.
We both got out and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Mtichel with curtseys. " Raven, Trevor has been waiting to dance with you. Go." Mrs. Mitchel ordered.
I found Trevor. Can't say that I was too glad about that. We danced. It was the most boring thing ever concived.
I thought it would be funny if all the girls were wearing pants and the boys were wearing dresses. I shared my thought with Trevor. He chortled. "It's best to keep your visions to yourself." We continued the boring dance for a few minutes. I drifted off into a day dream. What would it be like to fly- my daydreams were interrupted as we collided with another couple. " Pardon us." Trevor apologized and then turned to me. " Where is youre head, Ms. Madison.? He demanded.
" I was wondering what it was like to fly." Trevor frownd. " why would you ever think of something so impossible." I glared at him. " my father-" " Youre father was a lunatic." He angry-whispered. I painted on a pretty smile and walked calmly on to the grass.
Jennifer and Rebeca came over to me in matching dresses. " We have a secret to tell you." They said in unision. I rolled my eyes. " if you tell me then it wont be much of a secret, would it?" " we're not telling you."" They chant in unison. " If you don't then I'll tell everyone here that you gave trevor a tour of your rose gardens… at the same time." I challenged. They gasped. " Fine. This is your engagement party. Trevor's going to ask your hand."
My sister Luna rushed over and grabbed my hand. " you just ruined the surprise." She steamed at the twins. As Luna led me away she was explaining to me the details. " …. And when you say yes. You'll live happily ever after. Then you wont trouble mama so much." She smiled sweetly, as if I'd agree. " And what if I don't want to say yes?" I dared, flustered.
" Raven, you're nearly 20. That pretty face wont last forever."
