I’ve always wondered, ever since Dad died, if my life will ever be safe for me and Audrey. Safe from what? You may say. Well, safe from my “mother”, Sabrina, and “sister,” Luna.
Now it’s ten at night, and I’m out running MORE errands for Sabrina and Luna even though they don’t need anything: I go anyway. After all, it's an escape from those wretched walls and-
“Uh!” I bump into a tall figure and I’m knocked back onto my butt.
“Oh, are you alright?” the person I just bumped into says as they then help me up. A strong gust of wind blows and his hood falls from his head, revealing that he’s the prince.
“Oh! Prince Raj,” I quickly swipe my hand from his and bow down. “I am so sorry Prince Raj, please excuse me and my clumsiness,“ I say, bowing down again, dropping all my stuff, and making a fool of myself once again. I then drop to the ground, picking up all my stuff as the Prince picks up my journal filled with everything I know about illnesses. He opens the book up and starts to look through it.
“Is this yours? This is quite interesting and useful information.”
“Oh! Um, y-yes it is, but it’s nothing important, just a bunch of notes-” I say bashfully, absolutely hating myself for embarrassing myself in front of the prince.
“No really, this is amazing. You know, we’re looking for a new member of our research team. How about you meet me at the central park tomorrow at 11 under the old oak tree? We can talk about it there,” The prince says hopefully, a small light shining in his eyes.
I blink hard, utterly dumbfounded that he asked a random girl on the streets to be a part of his research team. “Um-I-I will be there, Prince Rajesh,” I answer with a hesitant tone
“Great, I'll be looking forward to seeing you…?”
I look at him, slightly confused before realizing he’s asking for my name. “Isha.”
“Isha. Well, that’s,” he takes a quick pause, “Quite a unique name. Well then, I’ll see you tomorrow, and please just call me Raj.” He quietly turns around and walks away into the night toward the castle. I stand there thinking about what just happened, realizing thatI just met the prince in PERSON and HE wants ME to meet HIM later. Though I am a little confused as to what he implied about an ‘interesting name’.
I sigh, amazed by the situation before realizing I had gone out for errands and the fact that I haven’t even gotten them yet.
I STILL NEED TO GET BACK! SHIT, I’M GOING TO GET YELLED AT! SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!!!
