Where it all begins

One day in June I received a letter from Prince Max to participate in the designation to marry him. I told my mother about the event which I had no interest in attending but she persuaded me to go with a dress handmade by her and a reason which is, it could help the family with finances. I had a week to officially make up my mind. I talked to my best friend Emily and it turned out she was invited too. She had grey eyes, light freckles covered her light skin and straight dirty blonde hair pushed back by a headband. When the day finally finally arrived my mother revealed a beautiful white dress with Gerbera Daisies scattered from the waist down and I decided that it was worth it.

My mother drove me to the palace and I was greeted by the valet. The ballroom was crowded with other participants, I stood alone against a wall. A delicious smell came from the room beside me. I turned and found the kitchen. There were women rushing back and forth getting dinner ready for an estimated 45 people. I was noticed by a short, chubby, woman carrying a player with a mouth watering chocolate cake, she smiled and kept walking. A few minutes later she walked over to me and asked, " Are you hungry ma'am?" with a slice of chocolate cake on a plate in her hands. I nodded excitedly and she handed me the plate with a fork and I ate gracefully trying my best not to make a mess on my white dress.

Emily walked over to me and gasped at the sight of me eating when we were supposed to be meeting the prince, we argued for a few minutes about how it was wrong for me to be eating, in my defense it was offered to me! We were interrupted by a woman screaming, " It's Prince Max!" and fainting which startled him and everyone in the room, the woman was carried out to her room by one of the butlers. Prince Max was standing on the staircase to our rooms. He had short slick black hair, hazel eyes and wore a baby blue tuxedo. He announced, " I hope everyone is having a good time and I can't wait to get to meet all of you." He walked around the room greeting everyone. Everyone was whispering about all the things they have heard about him and about how 'gorgeous' he is.
