CHAPTER 1: A WINTER'S BALL
"Bella and Magnolia! The longer you take the slower we get to the winters ball!" I call out loudly. I wrinkle off my dress that was red with white jewels. Finally, I hear footsteps. "We're finished! Let's go!" Magnolia calls out. We walk outside to the carriage. I sit down and sigh. "Esperanza whats wrong?" Bella asks me. "Nothing."
I quietly say. A few minutes later we arrive to the Winters Ball. I step out of the carriage and give the carriage driver a tip." For your family." I smile and walk away. As we walk in I notice there were soldiers here. I start to blush because I had a crush on John Laurens. I was apart of one of the richest families behind the Schyluers. You see, I didn't want to marry a famous soldier like John Laurens. I walk over to the table with water and someone taps my shoulder. I turn around to see Aaron Burr. "Burr?" I say with a confused tone. "What?" he says. "What do you want?" I ask and roll my eyes. "Do you want to dance with me?" My eyes start to narrow down of confusion. I walk away without hesitation and pour myself some water. I finish my water and my eyes make contact to Bella who was currently talking to Aaron Burr. I scoffed and turn around. I slip and almost fall but someone or something caught me."Are you okay?" His hot breath hit my skin and I start to sweat and blush. It was John Laurens. "Yes I am fine thank you Monsieur." I push my hair behind my ear and I walk away. Did that really happen?!
