A Different Girl
"BELLA! TIME TO WAKE UP!" The sing song voice of Madame De la Grade Buche, woke Bella up as usual. Bella sat up in her bed, yawned and stretched before the voice came again, "BELLA? ARE YOU UP?",
Bella yelled back, "I'M UP!" Bella dressed in her usual day dress, a light green one, and tied her hair up in a green bow, then she raced down to the dining room to join her mother and father for breakfast. "Good morning mama, Morning Papa!" Bella said, even though she was 15 she had always called her parents this. Bella was a medium sized girl and she had a delicate facade, she had brow hair and hazel eyes. IF you got in her way, you would be sorry. Bella had many talents, like a beautiful singing voice and an uncanny knack for dancing. After her breakfast it was time for morning lessons, reading and witting with her mother in the library, voice lessons with Madame De la Grade Buche, History and Geography with Cogsworth, and to top it all off math with her father. After all of her lessons were complete, it was time for Bella's favorite part of the day, hanging out with her friends. The twins, Laurett and Allie, the daughters of Lumiere and Babett and her best friends. CJ, the witty yet undeniably clumsy son of Cogsworth. Finally, Chip, the son of Mrs. Potts and the overall eldest of the five children. All of the kids had been friends since they were little and each one knew that they would remain friends forever. They all were playing Poker in the kitchen at the time, there weekly game. Bella glanced around the table at her friends then laid her cards down.
"Freedom and weep guys!" Bella laid down a royal flush, "I take the pot" Bella took all the chips that were on the table over to her side,
"That is it, I'm out!" CJ said, "you always beat us Bella!"
"Can I help it if I'm good?" Bella replied. It was true no one had ever beaten her since she learned. Not even her father, who was the one who taught her, could beat her. She knew how to bluff, she knew how to make a winning pair, and she knew how to play every type of poker from Texas Hold Em' to Five Card Draw! "Ok do you have a better idea of what we should do?" Bella looked at her best friends then looked at her watch, "oh guys I have to go!" Bella ran out of the kitchen to her room, changed into h3er sparing clothes and went out side into the garden. Bella was indeed a different girl every one knew it. She was a tomboy! She hated dresses, and makeup, and girl stuff. She loved fighting, and playing poker, and wearing boys clothes, and boy stuff! Belle and The Master watched their daughter practice her martial arts from there window. Belle gave out a sigh. The master looked at her and then said to his wife.
"She's different then all the other girls, Belle. We just have to accept that. You were considered different back in the village."
"I know" Belle replied, "It's just she's growing up so fast" Unknown to Belle, a different story was going on back in that poor provincial town she grew up in. A certain hunter was teaching his son the ropes of hunting, and his son was not enjoying it.
