may 21 going back to the castle

"Get off me!" I yell he is on top of me, crushing me into the mattress but what I will never tell him is it was kind of nice until I remembered it was him. "what?" he says still asleep. I try to push him off, he doesn't budge. "Olivander the devils child, get off!" "aww you don't think i'm the devil?" "you're worse!" "thanks I try." "you are suffocating me, get off!" he moves but it doesn't help because now hes over me leaning on his elbows on either side of my face our noses are almost touching. My eyes go wide and I don't want to move and make it more awkward. "Whats the magic word?" he says smirking "get off me!" I say. "Not until you say the magic word" he says. "move or else!" "or else what?" he thinks this is so funny he wont be laughing in a second.

I buck my hips up and he growns his four head falls on mine and were staring in each others eyes. His eyes flash to a different emotion and he rolls off me finally I can sit up. "I'm free at last" I hear him trying not to laugh. I jump out of bed and put on a fluffy sweater finally not a dress. When I walk out of the bathroom Olivander also has a sweater on but it's a zip up. I think this is the first time I saw him in a normal outfit. We walk down stairs together all of the kids yell "good morning!" Helen hands us both coffee "how did the lovebirds sleep" she winks. I almost spit out the giant chug I just took of my coffee. Olivander seems like he might have choked on his because now he's coughing up a lung next to me. I scoot over because he probably has cooties. "I slept good" I say awkwardly "I bet you did" she winks again now we both cough at the same time and look at the floor. She laughs and walks away "your aunt's pretty wild" "yeah" we both laugh but more of an embarrased laugh then humorous.

"Do you want to go somewhere else today not straight back to the castle?" he asks looking up from the floor. "and having to hang out with you for longer ehh." "you have to anyway it's wherpe would you rather hang out with me" "ok but i'm pretty busy you know" "yeah you have to do your morning snooping around the castle." "I do not snoop" he raises an eyebrow "sure what ever you say curly cue why did you find me in the kitchen then at like 3 am?" "you were banging pans I thought there was a robber or somthing!" "hmm so you want to go though" "yeah just don't take me to the woods and murder me" "I wont" "promise?" "promise!"

he tells Helen were gonna go and she hugs us both goodbye and we hug all of the kids. We get in the carriage and he whispers to the driver somthing I can't understand. "I guess this is it then goodbye cruel world!" Olivander looks at me confused "just kill me now" "hey I promised I wouldn't" "can I really trust that?" "I never brake a promise" he looks at me seriously "what's the secret?" "if I tell you it wont be" "fine" I say annoyed I dont like secrets. We start driving I can feel the wind in my hair it smells like the ocean.

The carriage stops and we get out. "take my hand" he says i look at it confused and disgusted. He rolls his eyes and grabs my hand "not because I want to hold hands, you might get lost there's no trail. "What ever you say I know the truth" I say "what ever curly." we walk through the woods and I can hear seagulls and smell the water. Then i'm hit with the most amazing view of the ocean and a piano with ivy growing up it and trees circulating around it like a magical fairy tail. I haven't seen a piano in months my family couldn't afford lessons for me anymore. I immediately sit down on the bench. Olivander sits down beside me. I start to play cannon nd "you can play" he whispers looking surprised. He starts to play it with me. It sounds really nice I thought he'd be horrible. Were staring out at the ocean when his hand touches mine I flinch and Jump up.

I can see the castle so I run to it. I can hear him yelling "Cala wait Cala please don't go!" but it's a whisper in the back of my mind. I run up the clif side and through the winding driveway. When I get to the front door the gate keepers let me in. I dont evan remember getting to the bedroom that is supposed to be mine. I just remember hitting the bed and crying. I don't know why i'm crying I think for alot of reasons. My entire family's life is ruined and i'm playing piano with some guy I don't evan like, but now he's being nice, but he stool me from my family and wont let me see them. I can never be his friend. There's a knock at my door. "What's wronge what happened?" "Go away!" "tell me what happened and I will!" "You stool me from my family and wont let me see them and your pretending everything's okay we're friends and stuff, but the truth is that we can never be friends!" "I know ----- we can never be friends" he says I almost can't hear him he's so quiet, then I hear him walk away.

I know one day are fake marriage will be over but what if my mum dies before then. And after it's over I will never have to see Olivander again. We can't be friends because this is not forever. I didn't tell Olivander any of that because I can barely tell myself. I walk in the washroom and start filling up the bath. I sink my feet in and feel the warm water. I sink all the way in I don't want to think about my problems I feel like that's all I ever do. I hate problems that I can't fix it's not fair and everyone says how it's not anyones fault for my aunt May's death but I will forever blame myself.

The world feels upsidedown. Everything's different here it's huge but quiet. The only thing in commen with my home is that it's peaceful. You can hear the birds chirping outside and the sun rays falling on the trees. And the strong aroma of flowers. I wrap a fluffy white towel around me and watch the drops from my hair fall on the cold tile floor. I find another uncomfortable dress and pull it over my head. it's gold and shiny. I sneak out of the door and walk down the stairs as quietly as I can. I go into the garden and past a stream. I sit in flowers and pretend i'm home.

I stand up and walk to the front of the castle when I see a box sitting on the stairs. When I remember the letter box from the man I danced with. I run to it and look inside theirs a letter sitting in the box waiting to be open. I snatch it up and run back to 'my room' when I run straight into a brick wall. it's is not a brick wall it's low and behold the prince. "sorry oh wait its you never mind then" "what are you holding?" "nothing!" I put it behind my back quickly "why wont you tell me?" "because I don't want to." he runs behind me and trys to grab the letter but I spin like a ninja. We keep doing this and if you looked through the window and saw us we would probably look like were dancing.

I bolt to 'my room' and slam the giant doors shut. I lock them then fall on 'my bed' when I remember the letter! I open it so quickly it almost ripped. dear beutifull girl I met at the castle. I'm so sorry that you got chosen to be princess I know you didn't want to be. I'd like to dance again someday. Sorry this is a short letter i'm going to visit some family today. Please wright me back. May 20th. I dive into all the drawers and cabinets but I can't find paper. I weigh my options. I decide I have to ask the prince but I need an excuse because he asks aton of questions and it's annoying.

I walk down the stairs and I see him talking to a gaurd. I walk up to him he see's me and says "give us a moment john?" "of course sir" he walks off. "I need a favor" "oh really I do to" here we go "can I have paper or is it to expensive?" I ask sarcastically. "It is hard to come by i'll have to got to market and i'll-" "just spit it out what do you want" he smirks "to continue our practice sessions and it's not a want it's necessary." He says staring daggers at me. "hmm why?" he rolls his eyes like it's obvious "were going to many more parties and our wedding also my father signed us up for a thing now we go to a small castle every friday with all of the other royal families." "what!?" "just the couples are going." "this friday!?" "i'm sorry did you have plans curly cue?" he smirks because he know I can't have plans i'm stuck here "oh you know just planning your murder." I say sweetly smiling. "well is it a deal?" he asks holding out his hand "I think I drew the short straw but fine" we shake hands I run up the stairs and yell down "don't call me that!"
