Princess Academy

Chapter 1

June 20, 2012 (England)

We were all sitting in a large classroom, every girl that was sitting here was excited even my sister. I on the other hand didn't want to be here. We had to be here for a year to learn all the formality's of being royal. We also didn't have to go to school we would be taught here. The worse of everything was that we were not allowed to go home, not once. Once a week on Sunday we were allowed to call two people, but of course it had to be a call maximum fifteen minutes. We were only here for a day but I already felt trapped.

The farewell with Charlie, my dad, was hart. Mary just gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked away. She had never difficulty's with someone else feelings, but I was different. Charlie and I looked into each other's eyes and in both of them were written sadness. The both of us didn't want this to happen; he also knew that I didn't want to leave. My eyes became watery and I didn't dare to look into his eyes. Softly he took me into his arms and kissed me on my hair.

"Bye kiddo, I love you." This was the first time showed me any affection. It made me smile and cry at the same time.

"It will be over before we know. Now go otherwise you will be late." He let go of me and took a few steps back. For a last time we looked at each other.

"I love you too." With that I took off to the princess academy.

Another stupid thing about the princess academy was the no one had ever seen the prince. It was something the royals did for almost three hundred years now. They wanted someone for their prince who actually cared about him. Only one of us would see his face before his coronation. The bad thing about this point was that it could be some total dick.

In front of us came to stand a beautiful but dangerous looking woman. She had blond hair and green eyes.

"Hello, I am Elisabeth Mason. I will be your teacher for this year. First I will let you make a test to see of what you are capable. Then you will be sent to your fist lesson of the normal school. Tomorrow when I have the results of your tests you will get your schedule for your every week." No one dared to say anything Mrs. Mason seemed to be glad about that.

"Are there any questions before we start the test?" No on raised their hand so she started to distribute the tests.

One of the questions was:

What would you do when you are princess and a man is flirting with you?

a) You flirt back just to be polite.

b) You smile and talk about something else like you didn't hear him.

c) You walk away.

d) You are polite and decline him from flirting with him and excuse yourself to go talk with someone else.

My answer: d

Another question was:

If the prince chooses you. Would you agree or not and why?

My answer: I would, my family is very poor and I would do everything to make their life a lot easier. I would sacrifice everything for them. They would to do same for me.

Like this questions there were thirty others of them. Then they started to ask about your knowledge for cutlery. Where everything is placed on the table and for where you use what. There were also questions about ourselves what we liked to do and what you wanted to do if you wouldn't be chosen by the prince.

After the test what took us two and a half hours we went to another classroom. In front of us were standing three man and one woman.

"We will be teaching you several subjects: biology, geography, music, history, economics, math, English, French, Spanish, techniques, chemistry and physics." We were all looking at them with our mouths open. We had to learn twelve subjects in one year. We were all in our last year of school and we had to pass all these classes. For a few girls seven was already hart. And to make it even worse we had also gymnastics, I was as clumsy as hell.

"Tomorrow, we will get your schedule from Mrs. Mason." After we got a whole story about how we should behave towards them, the teachers. I my opinion you wouldn't get far if you see something to a class of twenty giggling girls. Without even thinking I rolled my eyes, some of the girls saw it and started to laugh. One of the teachers looked at us but didn't say anything.

In the evening we walked into the diner area, there were a few people who made sure that we all got our food. One of the servers was looking extremely good. He had bronze hair and dreamily green eyes. Everyone was talking about him that he was some Greek god. It was disgusting, they were all here to become the next queen and they were constantly flirty with him. Then he came walking up to me.

"Can I get you anything Miss?" I looked up at his face and smiled politely. I think he wanted to dazzle me with his grin but it didn't work.

"No thank you." I said politely.

"You sure?" He raised his eyebrows and he started at me intensively.

"I am sure." He nodded and got to ask someone else. The weirdest thing about him was that he almost seemed to be happy that I declined him. It was a weird guy.

"Bella!" Mary came running to me when I was finished eating. I had just seen her flirting with the servant. I had to agree with the other girls he looked like a Greek god but there was more than just his appearance and I knew almost for sure that he was extremely arrogant.

"I just talked to the servant and he was totally flirting with me but he gave me his name. He is called Edward, doesn't it fit him perfectly." She almost dreamed away right there.

Edward... She was right it did fit him.
