3 Chapter 2: The First Day

After I finished eating, my mom started to "try to comfort me". Well, I see you met the young prince. Ghita replied. You know your timing really amazes me, mom. I said as she gave her a blank stare. I mean, at least you're well known now. Ghita replied. Mom, you are not comforting me in the slightest. I replied. Prince Destin, let me help you out. Abrielle asked. Thank you, Abrielle. Destin replied. Destin walked to a car and got in. I want to know her name. Destin asked. I don't know her name. Abrielle replied. Now I am called the "Unfortunate Girl" now. I said. At least your known for something? Ghita replied. Mom, you're not helping. I replied. As soon as Ghita and I walked back to their new house, a letter was on the step.

Soon as my mom saw the letter, she tried to open the letter I received. What does it say? Ghita asked it is a letter from Prince Destin. Uh, sweetheart, I think the prince is really sorry for his actions. Ghita replied. Can we forget about him? I asked. As the two were eating dinner, Ghita said. "Wow, he really went this far?" Why me? I start school tomorrow too. I replied. What did he say, mom? I asked. He wants you to accept his apology and for you to come to his house. He can formally apologize to you. Ghita replied. Uh, what else can go wrong? I asked. Well, I am off to bed. As I went to sleep, she was wondering what he was going to say. The next morning, I walked to school. They gave me evil looks from the girls. Aren't you the girl who pushed down Prince Destin? Kyara asked. It was an accident. I replied. Oh well, you are still the "Unfortunate Girl". Awa replied. I don't need to be treated like this. I replied. As I walked on to school with anxiety. Most of the student body glared at me. Hi, you must know the new girl who knocked into Destin? Charlotte asked. Not you too. I replied. Let me guess, you got a letter, right? Charlotte asked. Yes, how do you know about it? I asked. Meet me after school and I will explain everything. Charlotte replied.

When I entered the classroom, they gave her mean looks. I introduced herself. "Hi everyone, my name is Gabriella Pereira. It is nice to meet you." You hurt Prince Destin. Ava replied. You are just jealous that you never met Prince Destin. Charlotte replied. As if you have ever met him. Ava replied. Yes, I am an unsatisfactory life who never met him, right? Charlotte replied sarcastically. Ava and Charlotte stop quarreling. Mrs. Étoile* said. Yes, madam. Ava and Charlotte replied. As the school day ended, she introduces herself. She also told me everything. My name is Charlotte Baudin. Nice to meet you. Charlotte replied. They applauded me at how she was telling me the whole situation. I thought. That damn idiot. Charlotte replied. You are talking really harshly about him. I replied. Yeah, he is the type of guy who is blunt, ditsy and shy. Charlotte replied. Wow, he sounds adorable. I replied. The prince is my older brother. Charlotte replied. No wonder they freely talked harshly you about him. I replied. Yes, you are right, he lashes out with others and never apologizes for his actions. He apologized to you? Charlotte asked. I don't know what you did to him, Gaby. Charlotte replied. How about we meet at your house, maybe? Charlotte asked. Alright. I replied. Stay Tuned.

*Charlotte's name comes from the French dessert.

*Baudin- It derives from the word Baldo which means "bold, brave" Don't confuse Charlotte's last name with sausage.

Étoile means star in French.
