On the one of these for the first chapter, it was supposed to say chapters, not paragraphs. ANyway, this is the second chapter of A Peasent Boy.
Carla's POV
This cannot be happening. Did I just see Aaron kiss the French princess Skye Thomas? I was fine with being betrothed to him since we were going out and he seemed to like me as much as I adored him, but he cheated on me. I must get over Aaron as soon as possible. Luckily, as soon as I told Mama what I had seen, she agreed with me: I am no longer going to marry him. It's a good thing I have her wrapped around my finger. He and that Skye can go off and ride of into the sunset and have a fairy tale ending, and I, Carla Marvell, will be just fine without him. Now I just have to find someone else to spend my life with, after all, I'm almost 18, and it is a rule that I must be married or engaged by the age of twenty. After all, I can't possibly shoulder the burden of ruling a country alone. I must be getting really desperate. Happy is starting to look better and better. I've stopped being so harsh on him. I'm actually warming up to a peasant boy. How is this possible?! As the days passed, I started falling for him. Hard. Now he just has to forgive me. Maybe if I make him a cake to repay him for all he's done for me, we'll be golden! Sure, I have no experience, but how hard can it be. Now I just have to tell Happy.
Happy's POV
I can't believe my luck. Carla's actually starting to like me! She just told me that she has a surprise for me, and to not come into the kitchens. I think as soon as she presents me with her present, I'll ask her out. As of now, I'll be waiting in the dining room. However, there might be a tint problem. I smell smoke. Wait a second, I just realized something. Carla has no experience in the kitchen whatsoever! As I rushed in there, I stared at a horrible sight. The whole room was on fire! Carla and I rushed out of the kitchen just as the fire alarms sounded. The emergency plan for the people at the palace was for all of us to rendezvous in the front courtyard, where we could tally up the missing and wait for the firemen to save us. When we reached the meeting place, everyone was already there, watching the palace burn down, and Carla's mom was fuming.
