Chapter one: Maybe friends
Five year old Ella sat on her window seal awaiting the arrival of her father she got up and looked in the mirror to make sure she looked nice because her father would be bringing home his new wife and her daughters and she wanted to look presentable for them. Her sky blue eyes scanned her naturally curly long brown hair that is tied back looking down to her light blue dress and black flats. She sat back down on the window seal waiting to see her father's carriage come down the road finally she saw it out stepped her father a woman and two girls around her age Ella smiled thinking she'd have some new friends to play with she ran down the hall and slid down the railing running to hug her father and meet the new family.
"Dad your home." She said hugging him tightly then looking to the woman who has black hair in a bun, blue eyes, a navy blue gown, and high heels. The two girls both have similar hair to their mothers but in tight curls that hung to just below their necks the one on the right has dark brown eyes in a green dress the one on the left has blue eyes and a pink dress.
"Hello Ella these are Megan." He said pointing to the older woman "Her daughters Hana on the Right and Isabella on the left." He said pointing to both the girls "Now before we have diner Ella could you please show them a room?" Her father asked Ella nodded
"Come on Hana and Isabella follow me." She said walking up the stairs the two girls following showing them every room that wasn't taken the two girls liked none of the rooms
"How about that one?" Isabella asked pointing to Ella's room
"Oh I'm sorry Isabella that room happens to be mine." Ella said nicely
"But it's bigger than the others." Isabella said walking past Ella to the room
"Isabella please maybe one of the other rooms-" Ella started Isabella didn't like being argued with
"MOM!" Isabella screamed the two parents came rushing up the stairs "Mom I asked if I could have that room and Ella keep saying that I had to go to one of the cramped smaller ones." Isabella complained
"I never said that I just said it was my room and maybe one of the other rooms would be better suited for her." Ella said looking down
"Hana didn't she tell me that I had to take a smaller room." Isabella said looking to her younger sister
"Well… Uh… I wasn't really paying attention." Hana squeaked
"Well Isabella maybe we could find you a room that you would like and we could always move the furniture around to make it more spacious." Ella's dad suggested to keep the girls from getting angry he found a room Isabella liked finally it was super time they ate in silence until Ella's dad spoke up "Uh Ella would you like to sing something for us after dinner?" He asked trying to break the ice
"Yes dad." Ella said and continued to eat until they were all done they went to the music room where all sorts of instruments were at Ella sat at the piano and started playing a nice tempo
"Let me tell of an old story
of the land that waits to wake
let us raise up a light that shines,
this in hearts that never pray.
I can see what tomorrow bring,
and my wish to become a star,
to my loved one I must say,
will you please wait for me." Ella sang softly
"I'm not quite done with the words to it yet." She said
"Ella it was wonderful." Her dad said
"Yes you have a very brilliant voice Ella." Her step mother complemented for two years Ella's father thought they were becoming a real family but that was only when he was around otherwise the girls would push Ella around but Ella was to nice to speak out against their torment at the thought it would ruin her father's marriage with Megan and she wanted her father to be happy even if it cause her pain. Finally Ella's father had a big job to do that would keep him out for at least a month Ella was fine she could handle a month.
"Bye daddy see you soon." The now seven year old Ella hugged her father goodbye
"You to Ella now what would you girls like me to bring back for you?" He asked
"Shoes, dresses, and jewelry." Was what her step mother and sisters asked for
"And you my dearest Ella?" He asked
"Just your safe return father." She said
"Okay Ella." Her father smiled and rode off not even a week later one of the royal messengers came bringing the news of Ella's father's death after the news Megan and her daughters stripped Ella of her room and clothing they let her keep a few things like her necklace and doll that her real mother gave her. They made Ella sleep in the basement where the fire place blew cinder ashes making them call her Cinderella they also made her their servant. Two years from that day had past and Ella's beauty was growing the now nine years old Ella was walking through town to buy groceries she was almost done when an eleven year old boy ran into her knocking them both down.
"Ow hey kid would you watch where you're going?" The boy said
"But you ran into me." She said holding her head when she opened her eyes she saw a cute boy with short shaggy brown hair, brown eyes, in normal clothes that a boy his age would be wearing.
"Fine sorry here let me help you." He said standing up extending his hand to the girl she grasped his hand he help pull her up which is when he realized how cute she was even with what she had to do her hair remand curly and her eyes ever so bright. He started helping her pick up the groceries they both reached out for an apple when their hands touched they both felt a spark he removed his hand the spark leaving them and she picked it up.
"So what's your name?" She asked him when they finished picking up the groceries
"My name is Alexander and you?" He asked looking at her
"Ella." She replied "Well I have to get going and finish shopping." She said
"I could help you." He said not wanting her to leave
"Uh sure." She said after finishing up her shopping she started to walk home
"So…Uh… Will I see you tomorrow?" He asked grasping her hand
"I don't know." She replied
"Well are we at least friends?" He asked
"Maybe." She replied with a smile and pulled her hand from his grasp and started off to her house trying to hide the blush on her face from the boy "What's wrong with me?" she asked herself later that night in her room she was looking up at the ceiling going over the events from the day
"So my maybe friend when will I see you again?" Both kids asked before going to sleep
