Chapter 5 Erika

I can't believe that I am actually here at Charm School. Miss Roberts is one of the kindest people I've ever met. And Mr. Philippe, my class coach, isn't too bad either. He is a bit creepy, but other than that, it works. I think as I walk to my room. I share it with two of the most famous girls this decade has known, Eden Starling and Keira. And the most funny part is that they succeed in way different kinds of music. Speaking of which, I see Keira enter the room just before me.

"Hey Keira." I greet her as I enter too.
"Hai Erika." She greets me back. "How'd you find this first day?"
"A lot to take into." I answer the purple-haired girl.
"Me too." Keira says. "One question, don't you want a real jacket instead of that blue cape?"
I look at the cape I'm wearing and I shrug. "No, not really. This was my mom's before she passed away. And besides, I like wearing it."
"Okay, your choice." Keira says, when there's a knock on the door. I'm closest to the door and I open it. In front of me, there are two blonde girls with pink dresses on. I think they're princesses and both of them remind me of someone. Especially the last one.
"Hey, is this the dorm of popstar Keira?" the front one asks.
I look back at my roommate, who gives a nod.
"Yes, it is." I say to the girl.
"See, I told you so." The girl said to the other one. "Is it all right if we come in?"
"Sure." Keira says and I open the door completely.
"My name is Tori and this is Anneliese." The front girl introduced themselves.
"Hi, I'm Keira, as you probably would have guesses by now. This is my roommate Erika." Keira answers.
"You won't believe how much of on honor it is to meet you. I have all your cd's and I especially love Here I am." Tori says excitedly.
"Thank you. It's nice to meet a fan." Keira says smiling.
I notice that Anneliese is still very quiet and I walk over to the girl. "Hey, you're all right?" I ask her.
"Yeah, but it's all a bit much." Anneliese answers me.
"You know, the princess from my country has the same name as yours." I tell her.
"Where are you from?" Anneliese asks curious.
"Kattenland." I answer her.
""Then, I am your princess." She says quietly.
I look at her and then I notice her dress. "Your majesty." I immediately say and I take a bow.
"Oh no, you don't need to bow for me." Anneliese quickly says.
"Is your friend also a princess?" I ask and I look at Tori.
"Yes, she is from Meribella." Anneliese says.
Tori looks up when she hears the name of her kingdom. "Don't worry, that bowing thing doesn't apply to me either. The same with majesty and your highness. I'm gonna hear it all the time when I'm older, but I want to have fun first." Tori looks lonely at Keira and says: "I bet it's all about having fun as a popstar. I always wished I had your life."
"Are you kidding me. I always wished I was a princess." Keira said laughingly.
"Same here." I say to the two girls.
"Hey Erika, isn't it time that you did your cape off? I reckon it's a bit hot to wear it inside."
"Oh right." I say a bit embarrassed and I take it off. Tori and Keira suddenly grasps and pull Anneliese and I to a mirror.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I protest to the two girls.
"Both of you, look in the mirror." Tori tells us. I do and I don't notice it at first, but then I see it. Anneliese and I look like twins.
"We look the same." Anneliese says, stating the obvious. "Well, except for the hair." Keira says, when Tori pulls out a hair brush.
"Don't worry about that. Anneliese hairdo one." I felt a sparkling feeling around my head and when I look into the mirror, my hair is exactly the same as Anneliese's.
"And now for the dress." Keira says and shows her microphone. She does the same thing with Anneliese as Tori did with me and suddenly, Anneliese is wearing the same blue dress I am wearing.
"Now you're just a girl like me." I say smiling at the princess.
Tori and Keira laugh and Tori says: "Shall we do the same?"
"Sure." Keira answers and in a minute, they also look identical.
"It's not just us, but you two also look like twins." Anneliese says.
"It's true. This can't be a coincidence." Keira says.
"Oooh, you know what would be fantastic. If we switched lives for a day!" Tori exclaims.
"Hmm?" I mumble and I look at the princess.
"You know, Anneliese could be Erika for a day and vice versa and Keira and I could switch places."
"It sounds pretty interesting." Keira says wondering.
"No thanks, I rather be myself." I give a quick glance towards Anneliese. "At least if Anneliese don't mind."
"No, no, no. I rather be myself too."
"So it's settled then? I will be Keira tomorrow and Keira will be me?" Tori says hopeful, looking at the popstar.
"Do you want to switch now or tomorrow morning?" Keira asks with a grin.
"How about tomorrow morning. Meeting here before breakfast?"
"Sure. Then I will see you tomorrow morning." Keira says to the girl.
"Um, guys. What about us?" I ask and I point to our dresses. "We can't go out looking like twins."
"Oh right, I forgot. Who is who?" Tori asks.
"I'm Anneliese." Anneliese says and she puts her hand up.
"Anneliese pink dress number one." Keira says and Annelies gets her dress back.
"Thank you very much. This is one of my favorites." she says.
"Let me tell you something funny. I made that one." I tell her.
"Seriously?" she asks.
"I'll tell you tomorrow, but first, I want to be a brunette again." I say, holding up a piece of my now blonde hair.
"Erika number one." Tori says and she points her hairbrush towards me. I feel the same feeling I felt before, but it's over in a few moments. I pick up a piece of my hair and I'm glad to see it's brown again.
"Thanks Tori." I say to her.
"You're welcome." Tori winks at me. "I guess it's time to go. We don't want to be caught after nights out. Duchess Rowena has duty watching us tonight, and believe me. You don't want any punishment from her."
"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow." Anneliese says to Keira and me.
"Goodnight." I tell the both of them, at the same time Keira says bye. The two princesses leave our dorm and Keira and I start preparing for bed. Not long after, Eden, my second roommate came in and quietly went to bed too.
