Chapter 1:
"Matilda, you idiot!" I heard Harriet's voice, "You can't wash dishes with that!"
"Well why not?" I walk in as Matilda crosses her arms.
"Because, it is only for washing cloths!"
"Dose it matter?"
"Yes!"
"Well I never heard- Mary!" Matilda finally notices me as I was getting the mop.
"Now look who's up," Harriet looked at me, "Sorry, I should have told you about the new rules."
She ran her fingers through her dark hair.
"It's fine," I told her, even though I felt the opposite way.
"Did she yell at you?" Matilda asked.
"Well, that's a stupid question!" Harriet told her, "Besides that, did she punish you?"
"No" I sighed," I have to go clean up a mess."
I left before they could respond.
When I got back to the spill there was Elisabeth with a smirk on her face.
"Well look at that, ten years and you're still have trouble following orders" She circles around me as I mop, her arms crossed.
"I wonder what else would I have to do to make mother, make you more, responsible?" She asked herself, noticing me ignoring her.
"Elisabeth!" Alexandra came running in the hallway," You have to come!"
Alexandra grabs Elisabeth's arm and pulls her the way she came from, but she turns halfway and enters mother's room. Slamming the door as they do.
Not a minute passed when I heard then squealing in excitement.
I hesitated.
I shouldn't but...
I slowly made my way, walking towards the door.
"We've been invited to ball!" I heard Elisabeth's voice, then a bunch of mumbling.
I knelled down next to the door and pressed my ear against it.
