A Cinderella tale

Chapter 1

Preface

Once upon a time there live a girl, father and a mother. The little girl's name was Mia. When she was 10 years old, her mother passed away, leading her father and daughter sad. One day her father wanted a woman in his life than Mia. So he married a mean woman named Dayuu with his daughter, Emily. One day, her father passed away when she was 13. So now she does their dirty work for them.

Now the story begins when she is 16 years old.

Mia's POV

I was in my room located in the attic. I always pray at this time for my parents. Then the bell rang. "MIA! come down here NOW!." My stepmother yelled. "Coming mother" I said running down the long flight of stairs. "Mia can you go to town and pickup my dry cleaning and mothers" She said in a rude way. "Sure" I said getting on my coat.

I walked all the way to town. I went to do all my chores. I went to the grocery store to buy bread, vegetables, fruit, juice and etc.

I was holding bags of groceries, that's when I accidentally bump into this handsome young like around my age type guy.

"I'm so sorry," I apologizes as I picked up my groceries. "That's ok, it was an accident," the guy said, helping me. We picked up all the groceries quickly.

"Hi my name is Mia, "I said. "Hi, I'm Jayden. Nice to meet you," He said, shaking my hand. "Are you going to the ball tomorrow night?" He asked.

"No, My stepmother and her daughter won't let me. I mean, I don't have a dress," I said. "Well, do you work for your stepmother and her daughter?" He asked. "Yes" I answer, "you?" "I worked for the Prince," He said.

"Want my number?" I asked blushing. "Sure" he said, grabbing a piece of paper and pen. I wrote my email and phone number down. "If I go to the ball, I hope I can dance with you" I said, blushing as red as a cherry. "Same here" He said.

That's when my phone rang. "I'll be right back,"I said, going around the corner, "what is it, Emily?" "Where are you?" She yelled. "I'm going to the bakery to pick up your favourite bread: Cinnamon honey butter toast" I said, hanging up.

"Who was it?" He asked. "My sister," I answered, "hey...have we met before?" I tried to remember, "I know you! We met when we were 5 at the palace. I am Ji's daughter!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, I remember you. We used to play all the time till Dayuu kicked me out," He said.

"It's been long time since I saw you. You've grown into a fine young man," I said.

"You grown into a fine lady," He said. then asked, "where are you going now?"

"To the bakery. Want to come?" I asked.

"I was going to there anyway, but sure!" He said brightly.

We talked all the way to the bakery. The guy there asked us what kind of bread we wanted, and I said cinnamon honey butter toast. Jayden said Banana chocolate honey buns. The guy also asked if we wanted the sweetheart cake bread for free, but we said no. How embarrassing!

We got our bread and headed out of the bakery.

"I'll meet you in our hideout in an hour" He said before he went off in the opposite way.

I picked up Emily's and my mom's dry clean and went home.

I put the groceries away and gave them their dry cleaning before I went out. I saw him waiting there. Our hide out was in my family's secret cave where their were animals that know us.

"Sorry I'm late" I apologize.

"That's ok, "he assured.

"What did you want me for" I asked.

"Here, I figured out your size so I got a little something," He said then handing me 2 big bags of nice clothing.

"Why? Its too nice for me to wear" I blushed.

"Well there is a nice looking dress that would look nice on you if you went to the ball tomorrow night. And besides you look like you need something new," He replied.

"I have a surprise for you if you go to the ball" he winked and me, "oh, and here," he handed me an envelope. "Make sure you don't open it with them. Bye." And then he left.

I ran through the secret entrance so they won't see my bags and stuff. There was a hidden stairwell to my room through the entrance.

I quickly put all my stuff in my dresser before the bell rang.

" Mia, go get the mail" My mother yelled.

"Yes mother" I said taking the quick way down my room.

I went to get the mail and put on the counter. I grabbed the one that are for me and returned to my room. I walked up the stairs and opened my window where the birds came flying in.

I started to add stuff to my dress that Jayden Bought for me. It was beautiful. It was Pink strapless dress with black lace around the top. I added clear beads on the front and a blue ribbon on the back. Then I looked through the bag and found a tiara and beads for my hair and a huge box of stuff for everything I needed. I saw a shoe box and I opened them. They were my silver strapless diamond toe less high heels when I was younger But more grown up.

I put them on. They fit perfectly. I cleaned up my stuff and I cleaned my room up a bit more. Then I opened the envelope. It was an invitation to the ball, It said what time it starts and there is a car is going to pick us up.

Then I put everything back where it was and the bell rang again. It was time to set up dinner. So I went down the stairs to the kitchen and got started on that.

When I was finished the perpetration for dinner, I saw Jayden at the window. I went to open the door when Emily asked, "Who is at the door?"

"Um... My friend, who is a boy that I met while doing my chores." I replied.

"Well, is he cute?" She asked.

"Sure" I said with no emotion.

"Let the boy in" She demanded.

I opened the door and asked Why was he here.

"I came to help you out" he replied.

"Well, come in!" Emily said pushing me out the way and letting him in.

"Mia, why don't you get us some tea? "She said. I bet all she wanted was to flirt with Jayden... "Did you hear me, I said go get some tea!" She spoke like she was angry at me.

"Oh, sorry..."I said, a bit sad.

"I'll go with you" He rose quickly. He makes my life not like a horrible nightmare...I think I'm falling for him.

We made the tea and served it. Then Emily went to her room, only leaving Jayden and I alone.

We talked about how the clothes he gave me fit and stuff before my stepmother came down the stairs.

"Who is he?" She asked."

"This is mine and Emily's friend "I replied.

"Well nice to meet you" She spoke to Jayden before asking me, "is dinner ready yet?"

"Soon. The chief will serve it," I assured her.

That's when Emily popped out of nowhere and dragged me across the room.

"Ow!" I protested, rubbing my wrist.

"Ask Jayden to stay for dinner!" she demanded.

"Why?" I inquired, even though I kind of knew already.

"Well it would be nice. So ask him to stay for dinner!" She yelled at me.

So I went over there and asked him to stay for dinner. And you know what he said? Yes! Thank God...

"Why don't you sit here, while you wait for Mia?"Dayuu told Jayden then he went to the couch.

"Mia will be right back" Emily added, grabbing my wrist again and dragging me up the stairs.

We went to her room. I sat on the bed chair while she opened her nice pink chest.

"Do you have anything that looks nice to wear?" She asked.

"Sure, I think," I said.

"Well, lets see it! Go and get them now!" She shouted.

I went to my room and grabbed all the stuff that Jayden gave me except for the invitation and the dress he gave me to wear for the ball.

"Here," I said giving her the clothes.

"These are nice" She grinned, "here put this on" She said giving me my pink shirt dress with white knee high leggings.

I went to the bathroom and changed into the clothes he gave me. All she did with my hair to comb it and leave it down.

"Now your ready"She said. We headed down and I saw Dayuu's face in a little shocked. Then we all went to the dining table when all the food was out at the same time.

After diner...

We finished dinner somewhat quickly. I picked up the plates quickly and started to clean up. Dayuu and Emily went to their rooms while I did that.

"Let me help you,"Jayden said and grabbing the platers.

"Thanks,"I spoke gratefully.

After cleaning...

Mother and Emily came down to say their good byes.

"See you tomorrow night at the ball,"Jayden smiled, leaving.

"You're not going to the ball Mia"Dayuu snapped, then slapped my face.

"You will clean this house inside out, do your chores and the chief would be taking the day off. You will be cooking and cleaning."Emily smirked, "also clean that cat." When she said that a cat came out of the living room.

"I'll make a list on your door to make sure that you did everything." Dayuu said.

I ran up the stairs and into my room. I opened my laptop and I saw that Jayden was on line. I started to chat with him saying that I won't be going to the ball. He said that he will help out and take me there himself.

'Thanks' I typed in.

'No problem' he typed back.

I said good night and turned my computer off and went to sleep. I sure had a big day in the morning.
