Ursula's Story Chapter one.
Dear Diary,
I think I love prince trident. I know he would never love me and that it would never work but i can't help it, I love his beautiful blue eyes, his muscular shoulders, the way he says my name in his deep voice….Ursula. It makes my knees weak. But I'm absolutely sure he likes that wretched little mermaid Mirabelle. I mean how an octopus like me and a beautiful merman like him ever be together is just simply mad. How could he ever love me? And besides I'm sure his father would never go for it even if on a stroke of luck he could ever feel the same about me. But I can still watch from afar can't I? As Mirabelle throws herself at him. I mean she is the most beautiful mermaid in all of Atlantis and isn't cursed with eight hideous tentacles, why wouldn't he be crazy about her? Her perfect flaming red hair and seaweed green eyes any merman would gladly have her. But at least today he talked to me! We were in science anatomy and he asked me what question five was. I know it's not a glorious talk, but it's a start right? My sister just makes fun of me, saying I never did know my place, always dreaming of more. She thinks I'm stupid for even letting the idea enter my head for more than a second. It's not like I haven't tried not to think about him, I have tried honest. It's just I can't help it and he is just so nice to me, well I suppose he has to be as he is going to be king one day, but well never mind I know it can never happen. Until next time.
"Ursula! What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to clean the cave before I got home? What have you been doing in all this time? Oh dear, what do
you have there? Not dreaming about Prince Trident again are you?"
My sister never ever cleans the house. Says that I should be grateful for her letting me stay in her house when our parents died and that by
being grateful that meant doing anything she said I should do.
"NO of course I wasn't I'm not a complete idiot I know that he would never like me. I just had a lot of homework I had to do, but I will be right
on it I promise, sorry for the mess!"
Even though it's all hers, I always apologize for it, whatever makes Dafina happy.
"Alright then, but be quick about it! I want my dinner made in thirty minutes you hear?" "Yes Dafina I'll have it all finished by then."
And on top of all the work I do I never ever hear a little thanks Ursula, or nice job Ursula. But I don't expect any else. I'm just excited that I will
be graduating from Atlantis prep and hopefully be away from Dafina. AS I clean and make dinner all I can think about is Prince Trident, maybe
tomorrow at school I'll even get up the nerve to talk to him about something other than school work. I mean he sits behind me in almost every
class since the fourth grade. As I go to sleep I can only hope that I dream of him!
Dear Diary,
I Did! I did dream of him and what a dream it was! I was standing on a balcony and ran into those strong arms of his! It was simply fantastic! Well that's all I have to say for now I'm off to school to see my prince!
So I gather all my things and put on my best dress, which is a royal purple( for my royal love) that hugs my body ever so nicely! I just hope it's
not all for nothing. I swim the five minutes it takes to get to Atlantis prep and wait for the bell to ring in the commons. And who do I see there
but Mirabelle on the arm of MY Prince Trident! What an outrage how could it have happened so fast? I mean really? I knew that she liked him,
who couldn't she practically draped herself across his arm whenever she was near him, and I knew that It was never going to happen between
him and I but it broke my heart nonetheless. I grabbed my things and swam home. From that moment on I knew I would always hate Mirabelle
and Prince Trident for as long as I lived.
