A/N: ok, after my really bad first attempt, I'm going to try and write
another fic. This one might take a bit longer, because I plan to make it
long, and I'm going away for a couple of weeks. Please review this chapter
though, tell me what you think and give me any ideas or tips. I hope this
one is a bit better, you know what they say, you can always try to improve,
so on with the story.
Mias POV
The whole class fell silent this morning. It's never been this quite in Algebra, because who cares about Algebra anyway. But that's not my point. I don't even know what my point is, up til now my whole life has been a total mess, and I think it just got worse. More later.
I'm not sure if you call this later, because just five minutes have passed. But I don't think I can wait any longer, I just have to write this down. Even though it's a big mess, I'm really excited about it. I bet you're wondering what on earth I'm talking about. We were all sitting around in Algebra, being totally bored as usual. I was thinking of ways to tell Michael that I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I think Lilly was thinking up some other boy-cott, when this girl walked right into our Algebra class. We all looked up, even Lana looked semi-interested, and principal Gupta (is that her name in the books too?) walked in after her. 'Class, I have a very exciting announcement to make, you will be pleased to know that you'll be joined by this special young lady for some time, and I hope you will all make her feel very welcome. Now princess, if you'll introduce yourself.' PRINCESS!!! Exactly what I thought, this can't be possible, but indeed it was.
Now why didn't Grandmere tell me she was coming, was the first thought that came to my mind but I should have realized that even before I asked that question that Grandmere would have never ever told me she was coming. This was probably another one of her 'suprises' because as she always puts it 'suprises are something any royal should be prepared to face, so that when the time comes, not even the greatest surprise will surprise them.' Right, like I care. I mean all the surprises I've had this far haven't been good. But this might be the first good surprise. We shall see.
But where was I, oh, yeah, principal Gupta asked the pretty princess to introduce herself. So the girl walked to the front of the class. She did look kindof embarresed but she still went on with it. So unlike me, I would have fainted if I had to introduce myself in front of a huge Algebra class, that actually wanted you to talk for the rest of the lesson just to get out of doing work that period. Except for Lilly maybe, she would want us to keep going, considering that even the shortest break makes her bring up the point that we're missing important minutes of our life, and wasting the time on useless talk. Or at least I think that's what she means. I never understand that girl. And as always I'm getting off subject again.
It was obvious that the girl didn't know where to begin, so principal Gupta said 'ok, just to start you off, class this is princess Lindsay Jade Zalika Starnate Renaldi.' If you thought hearing that she was a princess too was a shock to me, just imagine what I felt when I heard she was part of my family too, she could even be my half sister or something. I just sat there, unable to move. Luckily Jade cleared some things up. 'umh, hi, as principal Gupta said, I'm a princess, princess of Kilnarou (I made that up, I hope it sounds ok) and you can just call me Jade. I'm really happy to be here, even though I will only be staying for about half a year. I think that's it.' I don't think anyone even noticed the fact that we both had the same last names. But she can't be my sister, since she's the princess of this tiny country, even smaller than Genovia, nearer to I taly, and next to Genovia as well. Life is full of suprises, and I've noticed that I should really pay more attention to the factsheets we do on Europe. Because I studied Kilnarou as well, and I couldn't even notice that their princess has the small last name as my father, and myself for that matter.
But enough about that. Then Lana - blame it on her - said 'Mia here is a princess as well.' Jade looked over at me and smiled. 'Hey Mia, you look just as your grandmothe described you.' I think that besides Lilly, I was the only person in the class who saw that that was a big diss. Jade must have seen that my face fell, because she said 'don't worry, I swear it was nothing bad.' And with that she walked over and sat down next to me. Help, the bell just rang so I g2g, but I think that this might actually be one of the good suprises I've been hoping for from the moment that my life fell apart.
Jades POV
So there I was, standing in front of this huge class. Algebra, couldn't I have found a better time to get in? Principal Gupta - the typical pincipal material - stood there, and she sounded so well, proud when she said that I was a princess, when I'd specifically asked her NOT to say anything. Now the whole school will know soon enough, and I won't get to know anyone the 'normal' way. The normal way. the reason why I came here in the first place. I want to go home, but I made a promise, and I can't break it. I should have never said yes but if I want to.................
A/N: what happened to Jade, and what pomise was she talking about? Find out in the next chapter. Please tell me what you think of this!!! (= Review!!!)
