Chapter 2
Knock! Knock! Knock! The person at the front door was getting impatient. Calleigh opened the door to find tall man wearing a formal suit with his brown hair combed back. He hands you a piece of paper.
"There is a ball 2 weeks from this Saturday to celebrate Prince Horatio Caine's birthday for every eligible maiden in the city of Miami and Dade County. Have a nice day".
He left after that. Calleigh stood there in shock, invitation in hand. When she finally came to, she closed the door and went to tell her stepmother and stepsisters.
"A ball?" Samantha asked.
"Every eligible maiden?" questioned Maxine.
"2 weeks form this Saturday?" asked Natalia.
"Yes!" Calleigh cried, annoyed. "Just read the invitation" Calleigh paused. "Does that mean I can go?" Natalia laughed.
"Only if you have something to wear, which I highly doubt." Calleigh made a face. "I'm sure I can find something." "Fine, Maxine, Samantha, come on, we must chose what we shall be wearing" Natalia, Maxine and Samantha walked to where their rooms are with Calleigh in a tow. 'This is going to be a long 2 weeks' she thought.
Calleigh walked up the long set of stairs to her room in the attic. It was a small room, with a beat up wood floor and a small bed near the window on the far side of the room. Her closet was small with a few items. 'Now, where is that dress?' she thought as she looked through her dresses. There wasn't much, just a few old rags from Maxine and Samantha. Then she spotted the dress she wanted. 'Ah, there it is!' it was her mother's wedding dress. Her father gave it to her before he died, said he wanted to see her in it. She ran her fingers along the silk fabric and sighed. Calleigh took it off the hanger and placed it in front of her. It was floor length, a bit off the shoulders and some pearls in the middle. 'It's a bit plain' she thought. 'I'll fix it up when I get the chance'
Over the next 2 weeks, Calleigh barely had time to even sleep, let alone fix a dress. Maxine and Samantha were always making Calleigh fix their dresses, or their hair. She knew they were doing this on purpose, she could fell it. The night if the ball, she only put a few extra trimmings on. She walked up the stairs, thinking about not even going. 'I guess it's alright' she thought. 'Alright, I'll go!' When she got to her room, the first thing was to go to her closet and pull out her dress. She put it on and she thought she didn't need anything else put a necklace and some shoes. Calleigh took out her necklace that her father gave to her on her 16th birthday. It was a small diamond on a silver chain. She looked in her small mirror by her bed. 'I look beautiful!' she thought. "Calleigh, if you what to go, get down here NOW!!" Natalia yelled from down the stairs. "Coming!" Calleigh yelled. She grabbed her shoes and ran out the door. She only hopped that they didn't notice that she took a few things.
