All Evanlyn could ask for was the week to go as slow as possible. The closer Friday came the more pressure her mother, father, and brother put on her.
Evanlyn's mother heard that it was possible her daughter or one of her Parallels could be the new duchess of Yalnsca. It was all she could talk about for the following week. Her father was more or less the same
Tuesday came, and sitting in math class Evanlyn was taking notes on data analysis. When a note was passed to her from Grace across the room.
My mom just texted me that they have moved up the testing
To Thursday and the dinner to Wednesday......something about severe weather
Evanlyn looked across the room and lashed her signature are you kidding me face. The dinner to meet your parallels was Thursday night. The night consisted of a 4 course meal, beautiful gowns and, more laughing and conversation. The night was supposed to be something to look forward to before the testing. Evanlyn was not excited, formality was about the farthest thing from normal or easy for her.
The bell rang and everyone dashed from the room. English, another day of studying and interpreting a famous poem by William Shakespeare calls a Mid Summer's night dream. Her English teacher Mrs. Tax was telling the class about being blinded by love, when she asked everyone to be quite and listen slowly
"I smell the stench of a phone," someone yelled
There was a quite squealing of a pig. Evanlyn quickly pulled out her phone and dismissed the call immediately.
"A squealing pig, nice choice" said Mrs. Tax
The bell rang and embarrassingly Evanlyn ran out to her next class. Ancient history consisted of the old America and States lesson. Followed by the Greeks and Romans. Art was next. The best class the school had to offer. She was working on a landscape painting of the lake behind her house. The rest of the day was slow and long.
Later that night after homework was done, Evanlyn helped her mother with dinner.
"So what did you learn in school today?" Her mother asked
"Mom that is like the worst question you could ask." Evanlyn replied
"Why I just want to know what happened,"
"Nothing unusual"
"Yes, but your version of nothing unusual, is the school almost being torn apart"
"That was one time and I had a conclusion"
"Yeah ever since you have been obsessed with pigs"
"Speaking of that my phone went off in class today"
The conversation continued at the dinner table while Evanlyn's father and brother join the conversation.
"You know you can't let that happen at the palace"
"MOM for the last time I don't want to go to the palace, and it won't happen, do the math there is a little less than a 3% chance of that happening."
"Evanlyn, there are 12 other version of you, in 12 different worlds and I bet all of them are preparing for a life in a royal position at the PALACE"
"Y'all need to chill" her brother said
"But she won't just leave it alone, I'll probably end up in the 11th or 12th dimension working on a pig farm"
"BACK TO THE PIGS AGAIN! Can you just make some bacon and shut up about it" said her father
"Okay I will be in my room mulling over the palace" Evanlyn said sarcastically
