Adelyn woke up to the cry of a rooster. The sun was just coming over the tops of the trees and she could hear the birds starting their morning songs.
"I have to get up" Adelyn said to herself, "I can't let Evalynn down"
She rose up from her bed of straw and made her way into the kitchen. She stopped and said hello to the other servants and maids before taking her leave. She ran though the town and made her way to the field that the festival was being held. In the early hours of the morning only the servants and maids were there setting up their masters stalls. Lady Tremaine didn't have a stall she thought it made her look like she needed money. Adelyn ran up to Evalynn and gave her a hug.
"Hey sorry I'm late, I kind of over slept a little" Adelyn said
"Hey it's no problem" Evalynn said picking up a glass case with a ruby necklace in it, "Can you please get that box of silver chains for me please"
Evalynn's family were the town jewellers. They made and sold the jewellery in the town and were quite good at their craft. Adelyn had been given a lovely pearl necklace for her birthday from them.
"Oh Adelyn, how nice to see you" Ms White said.
"Hello Ms White, how are you?" Adelyn asked
"Very well thank you" Ms White said, "Thank you so much for helping out today we really appreciate it"
"It's my pleasure" Adelyn said getting back to work
When the sun had fully cleared the tree tops the people arrived. Many were nobles and the ladies made their way to the White's stall first, wanting to get their before all the good stuff was sold. Evalynn, Adelyn and Ms White had their work cut out for them. They ran back and forth selling different pieces of jewellery to the ladies.
After lunch things died down a bit and the girls were able to take a break. The lounged about on the ground and had some water.
"Whew what a morning" Evalynn said, "I think that's the most we have ever had come at the festival"
"Well the prince's birthday is coming up" Adelyn said
"Yeah I suppose" Evalynn said
"Girls can you take care of these few customers for me please? I need to do some shopping before we go" Ms White said
"Yes mum" Evalynn said
Ms White left the girls at the stall and headed off. Evalynn got up to serve a customer that had just arrived. Adelyn started to pack up the empty boxes when someone came to the stall.
"Excuse me but could you help me?" a voice asked from behind her
"Ah, yes of…" Adelyn began turning around but when she saw who was behind her she gasped and dropped the boxes she was holding
"Oh I'm sorry did I startle you?" the boy asked
"Um… well" Adelyn said
"Hold on do I know you?" the boy asked in a cheerful voice
"Well you did save me from that horse yesterday" Adelyn said looking down
"Oh yeah I remember, your name is Adelyn isn't it?" the boy asked
"Yeah, what's yours? You never told me" Adelyn said
"Oh I'm Bryce, Bryce Filink" Bryce said
"Oh, well what can I help you with?" Adelyn asked
"I'm looking for something to give to my mother for her birthday in a few weeks" Bryce explained
"Well we have a lot of stuff to choose from" Adelyn said
"Great" Bryce replied
They spent the next few minutes looking at different pieces of jewellery. When Bryce finally decided to get his mother a pearl and sapphire necklace he paid for it and started to head off.
"Wait, will I see you again?" Adelyn asked
"Most likely" Bryce replied, "If you come by the silversmiths I'll be there, it's where my family works"
"Oh ok, well then bye" Adelyn said
"Bye Adelyn, I really hope we meet again" Bryce said walking off
