Sophia

I woke up feeling refreshed. I felt my bracelet on my wrist and looked at it. It looked so thin and invincible on me. I touched it, ever so softly and smiled; reminiscing about my birthday party. I sighed deeply and rolled over; with my face in the pillows, I shook my legs up and down as warm butterflies fluttered through my body. I rolled to my side and admired my bracelet some more.

"Sofia! If you don't get up now, you are going to be late for school." I winced and sighed.

"I know, Clover. Thank you." I threw the covers back , slipped my feet into my slippers and went to the bathroom. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and put on my robe.

"What to wear today?" I asked myself, as I stared at my closet. I pulled out a couple of dresses ; a lime green, a beige and blue one.

"I think, I'll go with the beige one, with a small brown belt and ruffles at the sleeves and bottom." I pulled it over my head, put on some light white lace stockings and spritzed myself with my new favorite perfume; Lavender. I put my hair up in a bun, pulled two strands out in the back and front and curled them.

"There, all ready." I rushed out of the bathroom, put my beige flats on and rushed out of my room.

"Bye Clover."

I rushed out to the balcony strip to wait for flying carriage.

"Good Morning James!" I said.

"Sofie... Good Morning."

" Where is Amber? The carriage will be here soon." I question and looked around for her.

" I think, Zandar picked her up, on his magic carpret. I am not sure. We don't really communicate that much..." He trailed off.

"Oh, Sorry." I said. " Umm, she doesn't really tell me much either...if that helps." He smiled and walked up.

"There is nothing for you to be sorry about." He touched my face, with the back of his hand and slowly brought it down in a caressing motion. "Sofie..."

"Yes?" I looked up and our eyes met then my stomach growled.

"Oh. Sorry." He chuckled.

"Don't worry about it, somebody did oversleep though. I am sure, breakfast is being served at school." Before I could answered he poked me in my stomach and I giggled. The carriage arrived and we both piled in.

Amber

"Zandar, we need to talk." I said, he helped me off his carpet.

"What is it, now?" He asked and stared blankly at me.

"You need to stop talking to Vivian! She is weird and below our league." I said, as I put my finger in his face.

"I think she is kinda ...sweet." He said; he pulled his turban up and scratched his head full of straight lusciously thick, black hair. I shivered. God, this man was attractive.

"Look," I started and pointed to me, then to him and took a step. " We belong together. I am Amber. PRINCESS of Enchancia. Daugther of KING Roland and-"

"Amber, what is your point?" I had him now, backed in a corner.

"Oh right! Right! I lost myself there, you know talking about me is a job and-"

"Amber."

"Right! My point is, we can do the world right." I said and poked his nose. Stay away from Vivian." He swatted my hand away and I backed up.

"Amber, she is nice and I am not your boy thing. That's Hugo. I only went to with you to Sofia's party because you asked me too. As far as being an heir, I don't know about that. That's not what James told me." I laughed at him and smirked.

"Sure." I said and whisked out my fan.

"Whatever, Amber. We are not kids anymore and you can't boss me around and get what you like." He waved and said "See you in class."

I stood there in utter shocked. I balled my fist up and narrowed my eyes.

Sofia

"Okay, for today's homework you need to prepare a speech about anything you are passion about." said Flora, as she hovered of the floor.

"The goal is get others to feel as passionate about your passion." Fauna peeped in.

"Remember, what we learned today. Make eye contact, be inquisitive and most of all have fun. The speech must be at least five minutes and no notecards. At that last notion, chatter erupted.

"No, notecards?" repeated Hilegard.

"Now, now, now, don't be a broken record. Mhmmmm;" said Fauna as she chuckled away.

"Before you guys leave for the day, remember that for your final exam before christmas break, each and everyone of you will have to answer a question about a problem currently happening in your kingdom and how you propose to fix it. So study up on current events. The final exam is this friday."

I gather my notes from today then went out to courtyard to catch up with James and Amber .

"Hi, Amber ! Hi James."

"Hi Sofia!" James said.

"The carriage is here already! Are you guys ready to go."

"Yes! I have all my things. I said." The carriage pulled up to us . James and I climbed in and took our seats.

" Hey Amber! Are you getting in or are you getting a ride again. I don't want to miss dinner." He said, as he poked his head out. I looked out the window.

"Amber?" I looked from her and then to what she was looking at; Zandar and Vivian giggling. I looked back to Amber and I thought I saw a tear.

"Amber, are you okay?" I asked.

"Peachy." She said. She climbed into the carriage and slammed the door.

"MOVE JAMES! GO SIT BY SOFIA." She said and pushed him. She stretched out over the whole seat, folded her arms and closed her eyes.

"Jeez. Amber. What's your problem?"

" Yeah, are you okay? Does it have to do with Zan-"

"DON'T say his name, just sit there and be quiet. I want silence! Don't worry about it." Amber snapped. I shook and put my hands on the seat and looked down.

"You don't have to be rude, Amber. If Sofia and I want to talk, then we can. Don't take out your frustrations on us." James hotly replied. Silence was his answer.

My head shot up, as I felt James hand on mine. I looked at him and he smiled. I felt my cheeks warm and he gave my hand a squeezed.

We all sat there silent, I content with my situation and my heart singing.
