Preface

My name is Bella Swan and I'm 18.

My mom Renee died giving birth to me so I grew up with my dad. I might have missed out on some girl things but I couldn't ask for a better parent. My dad owned a diner called Charlie's diner I know not very original but it was the busiest place in town. We lived in the San Fernando Valley, I was my dad's little princess and this was my kingdom.

I thought my dad and I had a perfect life just the two of us and know one else was needed, in my mind I was living the perfect fairy tale. Apparently my dad thought differently apparently he thought I needed a mother figure.

It was my 7 birthday where my dad bumped into Victoria and a few months later I was standing at their wedding.

Along with my new mother Victoria I got two stepsisters, Lauren and Jessica. They weren't nice to me but since my dad was happy I couldn't complain.

My dad was reading me Cinderella my favorite fairy tale when he said he knew I was going to grow up to be a beautiful girl, go to collage, and live a happy life.

"Where do princesses go to collage?" I asked.

"Um...where the princes go...they go to...Princeton." my father replied "but you know it's not just about finding a prince...it's about following your heart and being happy."

I smiled up at my dad and than I felt a shake and my books started falling off the shelf.

My dad pulled me up and brought me to the door when we heard Victoria scream "CHARLIE!" my dad stared to walk out the door.

I grabbed his hand "don't go" I pleaded as I felt tears fall down my face.

"I'll be right back" he said as he pulled his hand away from mine.

That was the last time I saw my dad, his life was taken in the earthquake. Since nobody could find my dad's will Victoria got everything. The house, the diner, and to her dismay me. She moved me out of my room into the attic and since than the only fairy tales in my life are the ones I read in books.

A/N: good? Bad? Tell me what you think. Give me ideas. R&R PLEASE!!!! oh and if you are reading my other story Home of the Spartans be sure to vote on my poll! I know this story has been done before but this is going to be more on the side of A Cinderella Story the movie so it will be a little different than the rest.
