Disclaimer: The characters are not mine but the fabulous (and might I add GENIUS) Meg Cabot's. I do own Jason and the story line though.

Mistakes Made
Chapter 1: Clarification
12/14 Sunday-Royal bedchamber
It's so beautiful here! I love it! Jason and I get one week of freedom. Then I have to start my "Royal Duties". Fun. But the good news is that we get to leave a week early before planned. Which is good so I can figure out what is going on with Michael. I can't wait til Michael gets back from Florida. Then maybe he'll finish what he was going to say before we I had to leave. It's not like I can talk to him here! Do you know what castles are not built with? DSL, plumbing, and cable. Now plumbing has been put in... and my dad has satellite. But DSL is a problem. There are hook ups in the office wing (which was added in 1954). They have brand new DSL lines. Lucky ducks. I an get in there if I only had a key... I'll have to ask dad. Not that I'm expecting much e-mail.
Grandmere let Jason and I miss mass today, but it's only because we're "jet lagged." Jason is staying with us of course. His room is at the end of the hall. Which is nice b/c I won't have to call his room to ask Jason if he wants to watch a movie or something. It's nice to have a friend with me. Even if he is my "betrothed." BLECH! I hate that word. It's like the end of Roswell when Max and Isabel's mom came and said they were supposed to be with the wrong people. They used the word DESTINY. That made me so mad at that word... oh well... the real, destiny won in the end... I think. But anyway Jason's coming back to New York with me. No we're not going to be in the same house. Of course not. He's staying in the plaza. Which is kinda weird but Jason says he doesn't mind. Plus he likes America. And everyone at school is nice. Plus no one knows he's a royal. Now. Grandmere wants us to be a couple. We like each other just find, but he's just a friend. I mean I love Michael. I will always love Michael. NO one can change that. Not even Grandmere. Or Jason. But Jason and I went horse back riding. Now I've never been horse back riding. And Jason... let's just say he's a champ. He's good at like everything. He's an artist. A really really good one. And he is a great public speaker too! I wish I had talent like him.
So anyway we were horse back riding. And I had a hard time getting up. Jason just got on his horse with no problem at all. And let me tell you, he looks great on a horse. So he noticed I was having trouble. He said he had trouble his first time too. So he hopped -literally hopped- off his horse and he helped me on mine. Then he went and hopped back on his.
My horse's name was Buttercup. OK so it was really Daisy. But that's just too corney and over sued. So I named her Buttercup from the movie Princess Bride. That is a great movie. The best ever. Ok so maybe like #11 but still... it's on the top 20 list.
So we were riding in the fields, and I was doing pretty good with trotting. Then we went to the wooded area because I was getting really hot from the sun. So it felt cool in the woods. Now at this time Jason and I were discussing where we each stood on our "betrothal". (BLECH)
Grandmere, it seems, is the one who came to Jason. Not the other way around. Jason thinks it's about tourism. HA! If that's what he wants to believe I'm not going to stop him, but I know better. So Jason was then telling me about being chased by countless girls who are after his crown. I don't know how that can be so bad. I mean having all these guys come after me wouldn't be too bad. But I would only choose one. But then again the only guy who would be worth it would be the one who's not after the crown. I haven't had countless guys run after me so I wouldn't know. I only had one, sorta, really hot -jerk boy- Josh Ritcher. But Jason said countless. But Jason's hott and I'm well... not. I have triangle hair and no boobs. How am I supposed to get a guy? Not that I care what everyone thinks. Only Michael. Oh I wish he were my betrothed instead. That would make my life much easier.
But anyway, I tell Jason how I feel about Michael. How I've loved him since I've met him. And then I told him about before we left and I was over at the Moscovtiz's and Michael was implying that he likes me. Well that's what I got from it. OK so he did use the L word... and the songs were for me. But until I can be sure I'm just going to say he was implying that he likes me. If only Lars would've waited a few minutes before buzzing and I would know the answer! But Jason said he understood. He used to care about someone. Her name was Jules. But she was killed in a car crash three years ago. I feel so bad for him. He gets this really sad look on his face when he talked about it. He's such a nice guy he shouldn't have this sadness. But after Jules died it took Jason a long time before he got over it. If anything like that happened to Michael I would be devastated.
Back to me and Jason now. So Jason understood how I felt about Michael. But we both knew what Grandmere would think if she found out. Plus if I were with Michael the press would be all in his business and he wasn't born royal so why should he suffer like I did with the press. Like I still am suffering. Not having any privacy. It's the worst. I wouldn't wish it on anyone or let them be put in a situation where the press would chase them. So to appease the public, press, and Grandmere, Jason and I would be a public couple. Kinda what everyone thinks Ben and Jen are. But I really thin they are a real couple and not just promoting their movies.
So I said to Jason if we're a public couple it'll keep the press away from Michael and I, that's if something happens. But he only implied that he likes me. Jason thinks it will. How does he know that? Is it guy language again? I need to get a tutor in that! Oh well. Jason and I are going to the beach tomorrow. So I did get some fun planned in my trip. Maybe I can come home with a tan. YES!
