Chapter 20

I swam over to my house.

Nothing is stopping me from sleeping. After getting into comfy clothes I turned off my light. I slept for a good 6 hours before an, honestly, rude awakening.

The banging on my door did not cease until I opened it. "WHAT!" I yelled. The official looking man stumbled back a bit. "You have been invited to the royal gala, courtesy of the king. You may bring a plus one," he handed me an official envelope. He looked me up and down then stated, with may I say, honest hidden disgust, "please wear proper attire," and left.

Rolling my eyes I slammed the door and thought about my plus one. It was obvious. I dialed my iPhone and called Chris. "Oh, hey," he answered, "you never called me I was worried," he finished.
"No need, I was sleeping until the king sent someone to invite me the royal gala,"

There was a pause. "Wow...really?"
I shrugged, "yea, why?" I could here him chuckle. "That is the most prestigious event that takes place in the castle, well most prestigious of the yearly activities," he explained.

"Well, you know, I can take a plus one..."

"Really, no way!" He exclaimed. "Yea I met this really cute guy at the castle when I was with the king, I don't know if you know him," I said.
I could literally here him deflate, "oh um I don't know..."
"I'm kidding stupid, you want to come?" I asked. "Yeah!... Yeah..." He said. "Yeah, I'll call Taylor because I need to wear proper attire," I said mimicking mr. Bundle-of-joy from earlier. I heard him laugh on the line. "See you later, and remember, be ready by next week,"

"No problem,"

Hanging up I called Taylor, "hey guess what?" I said, "no, you guess what, I was invited to the Royal Gala!"

"Me too! I'm bringing Chris," I said. "I'm not using my plus one..." Oh yeah
"Do me a huge favor and take Jacob, he'll want to go,"

She laughed, "yeah okay, hey come by in ten minutes? We can go dress shopping..." I said. "Of course..." She said.

I never would have imagined I would want to do this.
