The Royals

Caleigh's POV

When I woke up the next morning, my entire body was sore. The game last night really made my body hurt. I look over and see Claire still sleeping, with drool running out the side of her mouth. I quickly think up a way to scare her, and when I get it, I smirk.

I get up and walk into my bathroom where I fill up a bucket of water. I head downstairs to the kitchen and grab a giant cup of ice. I walk back upstairs, and dump the ice into the bucket with the water.

I walk back into the room, and throw her off the bed. Before she hits the floor, I grab the bucket, and yell, "Claire! Watch out!...," then dump the entire bucket of water on her. She screamed so loud that my maid, Daria, ran into the room.

"What in the moon goddess is going on in here!" She exclaims after seeing all of the water in the floor. "I scared her." I practically shout because of how hard I'm laughing. Daria rolls her eyes, walks out the door, and sighs.

We give her trouble all of the time. She's used to running back and forth. Claire gets up, giving me a dirty glare, and goes into the bathroom to shower. I continue laughing as I walk to my closet.

I walk into my long, spacious walk in closet, and see a beautiful red dress. My eyes widen.

I forgot about the ball tonight!

I run into the bathroom, and shout at Claire, "the ball is tonight!" She laughs at me and mutters a 'mhm.' I walk back into my closet and search for something to wear today.

I grab a black and white dress, that flows out at my belly button, and ends a little longer than mid thigh. Claire walks into my closet, helping herself to my clothes, while I am deciding on my shoes.

I had my eyes on a pair of red heels. It would match my dress, since it's black and white, and it would add a pop of color. "Claire, what do you think of these shoes?" I pointed at them. She looks at them and starts shaking her head, rapidly. I giggle and grab the shoes, putting them on.

I look back at Claire and see she hasn't decided on what to wear yet, so I walk over to her and ask her if I can help. She nods her head, so I walk over to the opposite side of my closet and grab a emerald green dress. It would match her hair perfectly.

I also walked to the shoe rack in my closet, and grabbed her a nude set of heels. She puts them both on, and she looks amazing in that dress. "You can have that dress. You look way better in it than I ever would!" I gush. She gives me a hug and we walk out of the closet to start on our hair and makeup.

I grab my curling iron and begin putting curls in my hair, while Claire grabs the flat iron. I guess she felt like straightening it today, which is really rare, considering she loves her curls. Once I finish with my hair, I begin on my makeup. I do winged liner, eyeshadow, blush, and mascara.

I usually use lipgloss, but I felt like wearing a red lip today to match my shoes, so I got up and went over to my drawer full of makeup products. I have a drawer for the stuff I hardly ever use, while the stuff I use daily is kept on my vanity.

Once I am done, I grab my tiara and put it on my head. I turn to look at Claire, and see she is putting on mascara. Once she is done with that, we grab our phones, and head downstairs. I am head decorator for the ball tonight. I grab the clipboard hanging in the ballroom and start giving orders.

"I need the flowers to be put in the middle of all of the tables, and I also need the thrones to be moved on the stage. The guys can handle that task. We also need people to help prepare food. When you hear your name head to the kitchen, please." I pause to flip the page, "Carlee, Maria, Blake, Odom, Shelby, Jessica, Marla, and Jaxon."

They quickly disperse, leaving the rest of us to continue hanging decorations. About two hours later, I let everyone go to begin getting ready for the ball. We walk back up the stairs to begin getting ready, when we pass my fathers study. I stop suddenly when I get a whiff of the most delicious smell.  Pine trees and rain.

I go to knock on the door, but decide against it, as my father was in a meeting. I hesitate to turn around, but force myself to, and grab Claire. Once we get to my room, she looks at me with the 'spill' look.

Claire's dress has been brought in my room. She has a beautiful blue dress that flows out around her legs. Sitting next to it is a box with a blue hair piece to put in her hair. We quickly get ready, and head to my mothers room. My mother has insisted on doing our hair.

"Hey sweetheart!" My mom is always so cheerful. She makes you want to smile. "Hi mom." I take a seat at her huge bathroom sink. She literally has stools in here.

"I wanted to talk to you about you meeting your mate tonight." My mom smiles at me. I smile back at her. "I hope so mom." I sigh, wishing to meet him tonight. "Well if you do find him, we will need to know immediately, okay?" My mom questions. I give her a firm nod.

Once she finishes my hair, she begins on Claire's, and then hers. My mom is dressed in a beautiful dark purple dress, with her crown on her hair. My eyes widen when I realized I left my crown upstairs. My mom must have realized why I panicked because she chuckles. "I'm already on it!" She laughs. The door opens and my father walks in, holding my tiara.

I walk to him and give him a hug, before he places the crown on my head, and kisses my forehead. My dad looks up at everyone and says, "is everyone ready?" 

We all walked out of the room and made our way down the stairs. Once we were in front of the doors, the announcer got ready to announce our presence.

Little did I know, my life was going to change tonight...
