"Sophie! Wake up!" Biana screamed in my ear.
"AHHH!" I screamed, jolting upward.
"Ow! That was loud." Biana winced
"You literally just screamed in my ear!" I said, wincing and rubbing my ears.
"Sorry!" she said, giggling. I smirked and got up, rubbing my eyes.
"I'm going to go shower." I said, yawning as I walked into my bathroom. After I finished, I smiled, refreshed.
"Finally, you're done!" BIana said, smirking. Biana was wearing what is below.
I sighed and went through my closet. What could I wear that wouldn't make Biana yell at me? I ended up choosing what is below:
"Is this good?" I asked, arching my eyebrows. Biana nodded, her eyes shining at what I was wearing. I smirked and said, "Let's go."
"What are we doing today?" Biana asked as we slid down the stairs.
"Ah! Good morning Sophie! Good morning Biana!" Edaline said, smiling.
"Morning!" we both chimed.
"You are going to the Palace today by the way." Grady said.
"Why?" I whined.
"Edaline and I are busy today. Della agreed to let you stay there today. Bring a bag though. You might stay overnight." Grady said. I sighed, knowing I couldn't argue.
"Fine." I said. I went up and quickly packed a bag. I slung the bag over my shoulder and ran down the stairs.
"See you tomorrow!" Grady and Edaline yelled as we ran to the Leapmaster.
"The Palace!" Biana yelled. I just sighed as the light took us away. We appeared in front of the gate and the guard immediately bowed toward Biana.
"Hello Princess." he said, opening the gate. We walked in and Biana skipped into Palace.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" she yelled.
"Hi sweetie! Is Sophie with you?" Della yelled from somewhere.
"Yep! We're going to my room." Biana yelled back. Then she dragged me into her room. "Ahhhhh. Beautiful room!" she said, sighing blissfully. I laughed at that.
"Is my room that uncomfortable?" I asked sarcastically.
"No ma'am!" she said, jolting upward. I laughed at that.
"Relax. I'm pulling you leg." I said, smirking.
"Biana? Is that you?" a voice called from outside.
"Hey Fitz!" Biana said.
"Can I come in?" he asked. Biana looked at me and smirked.
"Sure!" she said, stifling her laugh. I rolled my eyes and shoved her. Fitz came in and immediately turned bright red when he saw me.
"Hey Fitz!" I said, smiling.
"H-hey! What are you doing here?" he asked, flustered.
I faked pouted as I asked, "Why? Do you not want me here?"
"N-no! It's not that! It's just..." he said, fading off. I faked sad eyes as I looked at Biana.
"Biana! He doesn't want me here!" I said, faking a whine.
"You jerk!" Biana said, glaring at Fitz. She knew what I was doing so well.
"W-wait! T-that's n-not what I meant!" Fitz stuttered.
"I'm hurt! Maybe I should just go home." I said, drooping my head down.
"No! I want you here!" Fitz yelled. I smirked and arched my eyebrows.
"What did you say?" I asked. He turned bright red and looked away.
"N-nothing! ANYWAYS! Biana, Keefe is coming over later! Bye!" he yelled, running out of the room. Biana started giggling as I smirked.
"He likes you!" she said, wiggling her eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes.
"As if!" I said.
"Whatever!" she said, rolling her eyes. "Anyways, my mom wanted to have a 14th years old birthday party for me. Except it's a ball!" she squealed.
"No!" I said, rolling my eyes.
"Please?" she asked me with puppy eyes. I couldn't look away from the puppy eyes and I sighed in defeat.
"Fine..." I said.
"So, I wanted to invite Linh, Tam, Dex, Marella, and Wylie. AND you of course." Biana said, scribbling that into her notebook. "I want it to be a fancy ball that lasts until late at night."
I groaned and said, "That's going to be my nightmare."
Biana giggled and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you choose a dress and help you get a date." I looked disgustedly at Biana.
"No." I said, shaking my head.
"Can't say no." she said, smirking. I rolled my eyes, knowing there was no way to stop her. Besides, she liked to use her position against me sometimes.
"So I want to have this event when Wylie and Tam do something with their talents to maybe create an illusion.." The day continued on like this and I was so thankful when Keefe and Fitz came in.
"Hey! You guys wanna play base quest with us?" Keefe asked.
"I'm down!" I said quickly, getting up from the bed. They both looked me up and down before looking away.
"Before though, Keefe! Do you want to come to my 14th birthday party. It's going to be a fancy ball that goes on until late at night." Biana said.
"Who's going? Keefe asked.
"A bunch of my friends, Sophie, and Fitz. And probably other people I'm going to be forced to invite." Biana said.
"Sure!" Keefe said grinning.
"You have to dress formal! It's a ball!" Biana said, sternly. Keefe rolled his eyes.
"Fine mom." he said sarcastically. I smirked at this.
"Are we going to play base quest or not?" I asked, smirking.
"Let's go! I call Foster on my team!" Keefe yelled.
"No!" both Vackers yelled at the same time. At the end, we decided to do boys versus girls.
We were just starting the game when Della yelled, "Dinner time! Remember to dress fancy for tonight!"
I groaned as I said, "I just had to come on the day when you had to dress fancy." The two boys laughed and Biana rolled her eyes.
"Come on Sophie. I'll let you borrow my clothes." Biana said. "Also, we dress fancy every night. Keefe just decided not to yesterday so mom is reminding us to make sure we don't forget." she added, glaring at Keefe. Keefe grinned as he shrugged.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Whatever." We went in and Biana started going through her closet. We ended up choosing these:
BIANA
SOPHIE
"And I already hate this." I said, sighing.
"Red fits you so well!" Biana said, squealing. "Let's show the others!" she said, dragging me downstairs.
"Hey took you guys long enough." Fitz said. When he turned around, his irritated expression turned into a shocked expression as he looked me up and down. Keefe's jaws dropped as he stared at Biana.
"How do we look?" Biana asked, posing.
"Beautiful..." Fitz muttered, looking at me the whole time.
"Uhhh...." Keefe said, still staring at Biana. Biana looked away, obviously uncomfortable. I smirked at this and nudged Biana. She glared at me.
"Oh Biana! Sophie! You guys look so precious!" Della said, clasping her hand. Della looked prettier than both of us combined though...
DELLA
"Thank you! You look beautiful too!" I said, curtsying to her.
"Oh stop it! I told you that you don't have to bow to me anymore. You are a close friend!" Della said, smiling warmly down at me. I smiled back at her, trying not to look at Fitz, who was still staring at me.
"What do you think?" I asked, smiling warmly at him. He eyes went wide with shock and he quickly looked away.
"Let's eat!" King Alden's loud voice boomed. We sat around the table and food began being served around the table. Because I'm usually not a big eater, I barely ate anything before sparking conversations with Biana.
"Fitz keeps staring at me." I whispered to Biana.
"I told you that he liked you." Biana whispered, winking at me. I rolled my eyes.
"You know I can't get together with the Prince. Also, I'm not interested in a relationship right now." I said, annoyed. Biana sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Fine. I'll stop annoying you about this. FOR NOW." she added, mischievously. I rolled my eyes and smacked her lightly.
"Stop it." I said.
"Sophie Foster! I am appalled. Did you just smack the princess?" Biana asked, putting on a surprised face. I rolled my eyes and smirked.
"Stop it!" I said, smacking her lightly again. She laughed and continued eating. I just sat there, poking at the scraps.
"Dinner is over." Alden said, putting down his fork. Everyone set down their utensils and dispersed. Biana dragged me upstairs and we quickly changed.
"Ah! Much better!" we said in unison. We giggled at this and Biana took out her notepad with her plans for her ball.
"What else should I note down?" Biana asked.
"Maybe the theme?" I suggested, looking through the immense collection of dresses Biana had.
"Oh! Fancy ball theme!" Biana said.
"You nitwit." I said, sighing. "Whatever."
"We're going dress shopping some time this week!" Biana announced, slamming her book down.
"You and I have so many dresses. We don't need to." I said, sighing.
"Yes we do! All you have are skirts! We;re going tomorrow! And that is final!" she declared, glaring at me. I sighed, knowing there was no way to change her mind.
"Fine... But Linh and Marella's coming along." I said.
"That's alright with me!" Biana chirped. I smirked and threw a pillow at her. Biana glared at me and went back to her notebook.
"Maybe you should have a like small treats." I said, shrugging.
"Oooo~! What kind?" Biana asked excitedly.
"Custard bursts." I said, salivating. Biana rolled her eyes at me and wrote it down.
"Mallowmelt." Biana said, smirking at me. I glared at her as I thought about the gooey texture of mallowmelt.
"I hate you. You better give me mallowmelt." I said, glaring at her. She smirked and nodded.
"Butler Jensi! Get me some mallowmelt please!" Biana yelled out the door.
There was a faint, "Yes, ma'am!" before Biana turned back to me, grinning. I rolled my eyes. A butler came in and set down mallowmelt in front of us. Biana passed it to me and I ate it all.
"I'm tired. Let's work on it tomorrow." I said, walking into Biana's bathroom. After I finished washing, Biana and I traded spots. I took out my sleeping bag and got in it.
"Night!" Biana said when she got in her bed.
"Night.." I muttered. With that, we fell asleep.
