Chapter 3

I looked at myself one last time. I smoothed my hair, which was black and chin-lenghth. "Hmm…" I thought. "The earrings don't match that much…" I took them off and put another pair, pink and black ones, ones that matched my suit more. "That's better!" I thought.

I was in a play that the school would be holding. We were doing it for the school.I was one of the princess! I had a long Pink and black dress that hung down on the floor. And a wand thing…and a silver crown with pink and black jewls. I looked good!

I went down stairs. When Dad saw me he pretended to faint.

"Oh! Princess Cynthia (that's the princesses name), You're not gonna do anything to me…right?"

"Oh Richard!" said Sharon. She wore her jacket.

"Dad! Of course I'm not gonna do anything!" I exclaimed. I laughed.

"Ready?" said Sharon. She smiled as she made her hair into a bun. She wore her shoes and than gave Richard his leather jacket.

"Yup!" I grinned as I wore my black sandals. Than I went outside and saw dad holding the seat open to let me in, as if he were letting a princess in. I laughed and said, "Daaaad!"

"Your Highness!" he smiled.

I rolled my eyes and sat inside.

When we got there, I suddenly felt really nervous.

"It's alright hon." Said Sharon. She gave me a big hug.

"Good Luck Princess." He kissed my head. "You're always my princess." I gave him a hug and went to the room where every one else was.

Okay, heres how the story goes. Theres a good king (Logan) and he meets a beautiful woman named Wendy. (Claudia). They get married and live in a castle. They have 10 maids. (Kristy, Jane, and some other people I don't know.) Than they have 7 duagheters. (Me, Stacey, Abby, Shannon, Caroline, Kaitlyn, and Gina.) Kailtyn and Gina are my new friends.

Okay anyways the queen had 7 kids. We're all good. But one of the princesses, Caroline, or in the play Jennifer, gets all the attention, the rest of the six get jeloues and we become evil. We try to hurt her and we can't. So we get someone evil, (one of our friends brother) to marry her secretly and than send her someplace else. They do that, and we find out that we miss Caroline. She was there to help us, and guide us. Well we take her back, but the husband says no. He says shes his. And we find out that he married her and she was alive and okay. He loved her and they lived together for 2 years, He did it to trick us! We got mad, so we demanded Caroline to come to us. She said no. She said that she was married to him and that we were the ones to try to make her die. She was also mad at us and cried because she thought that sisters were always sisters. We were sad and we want her back but she says no. We tell our dad, and he thinks that the prince (Alan) threatened her. Caroline cried saying no that he didn't and that they were married but the king demanded Caroline back. Caroline cried day and night. We were happy our sister was there but we didn't want our sister so sad. We told her to swear that she loved him, and she said she loved him as much as she loved her father. Than one day we help her escape with him and they live someplace else. She's really happy and goes and writes to us everyday, but when she finds out that her dad is about to die with grief, she leaves her husband and comes to the castle for her dad. Her dad becomes cured and than she stays with him all the time. But she was really different, because she wanted to stay with her husband, who wrote to her every day. She cried at night and we comforted her, but she wanted to be with her husband.

So one day the king saw us with her and her crying, so he said that he would let her marry him, if they would live in the castle. She said yes and looked really happy and they get married. She lives with him in the castle and we all live happily ever after!

Okay so anyways, when I came inside, everyone was dressing up. I helped a few people and than the play began.

The play turned out to be soo much fun. Caroline was a great actor. (I'm still mad at her but I have to admit that she was really good!)

Anyways I came home at like 11:00. I quickly slept. It had been a long day!

------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day was a Saturday. I woke up at 10:00. Boy was I tired. I got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. I saw Sharon on the phone. She waved to me. I waved back and sat down.

"Yea…UH Huh… Oh sweetie! Hows Jeff…?"

I suddenly turned toward her. "Sweetie" and "Jeff" put together meant Dawn! She was actually calling us!

I jumped up. And whispered, "Dawn!"

Sharon nodded and smiled.

When she was done with Jeff, she handed the phone to me.

"Heyy! DAWN!" I exclaimed. I suddenly forgot that I was mad at her.

"Hey! Mary-Anne! I…I miss you soo much!"

"Me too!" I could feel my eyes watering. It was soo good to hear her voice.

"Well…how's it going?"

"Oh…super…but we miss you!"

"Oh…I miss you too!"

"Well, how's everything there?"

"Oh wonderful! We go to the beach everyday, Sunny's mom is soo much better, aaaandd…..I miss you soooooooo Much!"

"Oh…I do too! But I was in a play just yesterday…I was the princess! It was soo much fun!" I told her about the play. Than I told her about Caroline.

"Oh my gosh…she's mean!"

"I know right!"

"Mary-Anne…"

"Yea?"

"Listen…I'm sorry about not calling you guys a lot…its just that I've been soo busy…but I still love you guys!"

"Ok…I was beginning to think you forgot about us." I said softly.

"Mary-Anne, I would never ever forget about you…ever. You're my best friend in the world! I miss you sooo very much!"

"I do too. Dawn come here to visit! I haven't seen you in a year!" I exclaimed. My voice was shaky. I knew I was going to cry soon.

"Mary-Anne…"

"No! Dawn come back! We're also your friends! Your family! Don't you even care about us? We miss you, we cry day and night thinking you'll come back soon, if not permanatley than for a visit! But no! Its as if we're earased from your heart! All you care is how YOU feel! Not how I feel, Sharon, the Bsc…and everyone else! You should take turns a year here and a year there! But I mean visits…Come on! What happened to you? You're soo….soo…different! So…changed…So …. Complety SELFISH!" I was sobbing now.

"No! Mary-Anne…"

"None of your explanitaions!" I said.

"I don't care! Mary-Anne! Listen! I'm gonna come…soon….for the-"

"Lemme guess….Holidays?"

"Well…yea…"

"That's what you said for Christmas, and Hannukah, and New year, and Spring Break, and summer But YOU like Calafornia better…Dawn just tell Us! We already know! You like everyone and everything In Calorfornia BETTER! ADMIT IT!"

I was screaming and sobbing at the same time.

"No mary-Anne! Please! Listen to me!"

"Yea…GO ON! It better be a good explanation!"

"It is! I love you guys soo much…its just that…I love Carol and everyone here…I thought I should get to know her more…and its just that…I missed Calorfornia SOOO much….I love it…but I love Stoney brook…and I'm gonna come…soon…"

"YEA SURE!" I sobbed.

I slammed the phone down. I went upstairs and jumped on my bed. I sobbed and sobbed. First Caroline. That wasn't that sad. I mean I only knew her for a week or so. But Dawn. I knew her for 5 years. I trust her, or trusted. I could'nt believe it. She spoiled my Saturday. I hated her. She was a heart breaking step sister. I went out of bed and wore a pair of carpis. I put on a shirt. I went to the mirror, and thought Dawn may not be in my life, she may hate me now. But now that I know that she likes Calorfornia more,and forgot about us here, I'm just gonna earse hr from my heart like she earsed me from hers.
