A Cinderella Story
Chapter 8

Dear Diary, My heart won't slow down. Right now I'm in this huge mansion in Arabia, for a ball/competition for the son of Quatre Reberba Winner. Am I insane? I thought so until I actually met the prince. Those eyes, that hair, sigh his voice. I can't wait to meet him again. Tonight. –Cindi-

I put that (my diary) away, and pulled out my dress for tonight. It was a deep green and from the front of the waist to the floor, it was split with a black back. The sleeves fell down on my arm and exposed the shoulder. I left that on my bed.

I walked out into the hall way and found David walking down the stairs. "David Wait!" I called. When I reached him he told me that he was heading to the kitchen for some food because he hadn't eaten all day. I was too excited to be hungry, but I followed him anyway.

"You know, I saw that look." He said out of nowhere.

"What are you talking about?"

"Prince Aden? I saw the look he gave you. It was like you were a sight for sore eyes."

"Shut up! He gave no such look!" I lied. I knew what he said was true.

"Don't deny it. You just lied to me." It was almost like he had read my mind. He smirked at my silence.

"I-it's probably because I'm a girl."

"A pretty girl." He said

"Be quiet!" I tried not to blush "Besides, when tonight comes he'll totally forget me and fall for some other chick there."

"Maybe, but I tell you now, that when I met my girl friend, we both knew it was meant to be. I kind of ran her over with my skateboard the day we had met. When I was helping her up, she wasn't mad at all. She was just laughing. That's what I still love about her." David sighed.

"What, may I ask, does your 'oh too touching' story have to do with me?" I asked cocking an eyebrow.

"What I'm saying, 'Miss too blind to see it', is that he'll remember you...guaranteed."

I didn't say anything back to him. I hope he remembers me.
We finished walking down the enormous stairway and headed toward the kitchen... Well, we would've done that if a running figure didn't crash into me at the foot of the stairs.

"I'M SO SORRY!" The females voice cried. She sat on the ground on her hands and knees.

"That ok," I moaned from the floor. I hoisted myself up with the help of David, and then he helped her up. (Then like girls do, we fixed our hair before we started with the talking.)

"I apologize. I was in such a hurry that I didn't see you." The girl had a real soft, yet confident voice. Her blonde hair came down to the middle of her in a slight wave. And her Turquoise eyes made me feel like I had seen them before. "Are you alright?"

"I'm ok. Are you?"

"Oh, yes. I'm fine."

"Are you a guest for the ball tonight?" I asked her, as a soft wind from the open window above blew through our hair. "Guest?" she asked surprised. "Well, yes. I am. You?"

"Same. Hi, I'm Cindi Yuy."

"Lily." We smiled at each other, and then I introduced her to David.

"Cindi, what do you think of Prince Aden? You have seen him right?" Lily asked cocking an eyebrow. It had been only twenty minutes since our little crash, and now we were sitting in the palace courtyard talking about all sorts of things. The grass was well kept and the trees provided sufficient shade for us as we chatted away.

"Of course I've seen him. And I'd be lying if I said he wasn't the most handsomest cutest guy I've ever seen and met." I told her truthfully. "You've met him?"

"Sort of. My dad knows Mr. Winner... yadda yadda, it's a big long story that my dad hasn't told me yet."

"Interesting," she smirked. I don't know why, but it seemed like Lily was enjoying this just as much, or even more than I was.

Suddenly a cathedral bell rang in the distance signaling 3:00pm. We listened to it for a moment and let the echo of the bell ring through out hearts. "Well I better get going. Got to get ready for tonight."

"Ditto."

"Ok, then I'll see you at the ball Cindi?"

"I didn't come to Arabia for nothing." We said our good byes then headed our separate ways.

Knockknockknock "Cindi, you have to hurry. It's going to start in twenty minutes." Eric called through the door.

"Come in here! I can't get the zipper all the way up. HELP!" I yelled at the door as I almost fell over on the bed trying to reach the top of my dress. Once that little crisis of mine was settled, Eric offered me his arm and we made our way out of the room, down the stairs, and into the Great Hall where Tai, and David were waiting. Our dads had decided to explore the mansion. (What little kids) We passed a mirror on our way to the Ballroom, and I glanced at the portrait of the four of us. All three boys were dressed nicely in Grey, blue and Black suits, and I had my hair up in an elaborate bun held up by bobby pins that had beautiful pearls attached to the ends. Mom also let me borrow her gold necklace studded with diamonds all the way around with a gorgeous emerald in the front. I was very ready for this competition, but the only person I want to beat is Kahea.

I spotted her conversing with some young men that looked about 17. She was wearing a pink ruffled dress that reached the ground. Suddenly trumpets began to blow, and the sound of announcers came to my ears.

"Make Way For The Royal Family!"

My heart began to race as I let go of Erics arm.

Here they come...
