I woke up from my slumber and looked at my watch. 7:30. The exact same time I woke up every morning. I yawned and stretched before getting out of his bed to look at myself in the mirror. I saw what everyone else saw: Brown hair, blue eyes that looked cold, pale skin and a few freckles on my nose. I'm not one of the best looking guys in my village, he thought, but hey, I'm not the ugliest either. Most girls think I'm was kinda cute. I got dressed in my normal jeans, normal T-shirt and normal sneakers. The only thing not normal is that I'm a Prince. I don't care about being a prince, and I secretly want to be a simple farm boy, or something, anything, that would make me the same as everybody else.
I got to the 2 bottom steps of my house when, suddenly, a fat lady appeared at the bottom. She was very, very fat, I decided. She was new here, she was my new maid. My old maids left because I kept playing tricks on them. This one will be a cinch, I thought to myself. I could tell this because the plates on the tray she was holding were rattling so much, that I thought she might drop them.
"Good morning your Highness" she stuttered. "I brought your breakfast for you". She thrust the tray into my hands and disappeared before I could even say thanks. Meh, I thought, ill live. When I got to the kitchen, I saw my parents were awake as well and were sitting at the table. My father, King Jonathan, was reading the Daily Gress, while my mother, Queen Adelle, was sipping tea quietly. I didn't want to break the silence so I just took 2 pieces of toast, picked up my lunch money and started walking to school. Normally i would have to go in a horse and carriage, but i didn't want to, not today.
Today i was going to be a normal kid, wearing normal jeans, a normal T-shirt and normal sneakers. It was while I was thinking this that i accidentally bumped into someone, sending them flying with all of their stuff they were holding. I, being the Prince and kind person, helped them up and helped them pick up their things, thinking about how normal this would be for someone who wasn't a Prince. While i was thinking this, the person who I had bumped into tried to get the book I was holding. It was only then that I realized that the 'person' I had bumped into was no 'person' at all. It was a goddess, sent from heaven. Black hair, green eyes…there was nothing normal about her. Maybe I should stay being a Prince, I thought to myself.
She looked scared. I felt guilty, even though I didn't know what I had done. She whispered sorry to me though and looked as if she wasn't used to being in this village. Then I remembered that I was STARING AT HER. No wonder she didn't look comfortable. But why wouldn't she feel comfortable? Surely she had been stared at before. What with those good looks and all. She finally asked me if I was okay. Must have been because I was gaping at her, with my eyes bulging out of their sockets. I told her I was fine but inside, my heart was beating so fast, I thought it would explode. She stared at the ground for a while until the bell rang for school. I am not a shy person. That is what is wrong with me. I just do things because I want to. That was why I took her hand and walked her into the school. I was determined to be her friend, just to get close to her.
I hope she isn't one of those girls that spends a lot of time doing their makeup, getting worried about their weight or are just superficial…
