How to Princess - Series

Chapter 19

I walked over to my curtains and threw them open and as the sunlight blinded me and memories from the night before hit me. I groaned before going to my closet and walking in. I picked through my clothes before taking out a tight black and white dress that came to my mid-thigh. I tugged it down but it wouldnt stay so I waved my hand and black tights appeared.

Feeling a bit more covered I smiled and pulled out a pair of black ankle boots. I slipped them on. My feet were still sore but I wiggled my toes and they started to feel better. I walked out of my closet and closed the door behind me.

I turned and saw Jake sitting on the bed. I screamed and covered my mouth. I wanted to avoid him today until I had everything sorted in my head. "Hey!" He said standing up. All I could think about was that the same thing had happened the night before with his brother.

"Hey" I said nervously. "I need to do my hair and... and... and something else I've forgotten about so why don't I meet you in class" I rushed over to him and started pushing him out the door.

Now in the doorway he turned and laughed. "Okay... I was just going to give you your book. You know the one you hit me with? You left it in your old room and Lexi came and gave it to me to give to you" He held the large book out and I grabbed it off him and held it to my chest. "Goodbye then?" He said looking confused. He smiled again and leaned in to kiss me.

I stepped back. "See you in class!" I said as I slammed the door in his face. I held my ear to the door. I didnt hear his footsteps for a few moments but when he did walk away, I let out a breath I didn't realise I had been holding in. If this was how I was going to be then keeping him might be harder than I thought.

I hurried into class. I wasnt lying when I said I hadn't done my hair and I was late so I had sprinted down the stairs and ran into my Spells class. I sat at the back away from everyone. Jasper was staring at me but I tried to avoid eye contact.

A tall thin man stepped out of the shadows in a dark coloured cape. "My name is Rumplestiltskin but you may call me Rumple because there is always one child who can not pronounce my name" His voice was hushed but loud. It sent chills down my spine when he spoke.

"I teach Spells at this school as you may have guessed. Please open your textbooks to page 362" He said in almost a hiss. "Now you in the front with the messy hair" he pointed to a young boy with dark hair covering his face.

"Yes sir" he said in a voice I recognised but didnt know why. Intrigued I leaned forward.

"What is your name boy?" He asked.

"Caelan Sir. Caelan Smee" the boy replied. Smee. Where do I know that name? I thought to myself as I watched the boy. Suddenly. I started to remember.

"Caelan! Come play with us!" I yelled at the dark haired boy who sat on a rock below us. I swung upside down from the tree I was in so I was facing him. I folded my arms in front of my chest.

"I'll play with you Willow but I don't trust him" Caelan answered as he pointed up to Felix flying above us. I sighed.

"But he's fun and... he has fairy dust" I whispered. I giggled and swung myself before dropping from the tree.

"Its getting dark. We should head back to the ship" the dark haired boy said.

"Fine. Bye Felix!" I yelled before I ran after Caelan into the forest.

I was thrown from my memory when I heard a loud crash. I blinked and shook my head as I came back to the real world. Everyone was looking at me and I saw that I had knocked my book off of the table with my elbow.
