Part 1

One Sunday Morning in August Village, Princess Esme woke up from her beauty sleep and walked into the din of her castle. The maid Ms.Layah walked in with a plate that consisted of 3 blueberry pancakes,2 slices of bacon, scrambled eggs, and a side of mixed fruit. She set the plate in front of Esme and greeted her. Esme nodded which was a sign of dismay because the maid walked out of the room. The King nodded towards the servant to pour more juice in his cup and then the din became quiet, the only noise was from the forks hitting the bottom of their plates.

"So I think I want to dye my hair red," Princess said to break the silence. The King and Queen started having their own conversation completely ignoring the Princess's statement. She repeated herself again "I think I want to dye my hair red". Princess Kya walks into the room and it seems as if all the attention went on her because on cue the King and Queen stopped talking. Kya was Esme's older sister, and also their parent's favorite child. Esme was always overlooked because of her sister which caused her to have a small hatred towards Kya. "Good morning," her mother and father said in unison. Kya replied good morning with a smile as she sat at the breakfast table with them. Her father began complimenting her and asking how she slept. "You didn't ask me how my sleep was father," Esme said. The King glanced at Esme as he continued speaking to Kya. All Esme could do was put her head down and continue eating. Kya noticed Esme's frown through the corner of her eye. "I like your hair sister," Kya said to Esme. They smiled at each other, "Thank you I want to dye it red" Esme responded. Her parents started to object automatically, Esme shook her head and ran out the din into her room. She sat at her vanity and cried. Kya was always the favorite child, in her parent's eyes, she could do no wrong. Esme felt like a mistake because that's how she was treated. As time went on, she stopped herself from crying and began doing her makeup. Her mother would always tell her she's nothing without it so she has to put makeup on every day. She believed she was ugly without it only because that's what her father would say, nothing negative was ever said about or to Kya from her parents. After Esme finished her makeup and freshened up she got dressed to head out. She grabbed her blue and black purse to match her blue dress and black heels. She wasn't allowed to wear sneakers or flats only heels because it was "ladylike" according to her parents. She wasn't even allowed to wear pants, she had to wear dresses at all times, unlike Kya who was able to wear whatever she wanted and was able to choose if she wanted to put on makeup or not. In their parent's eyes, Kya was beautiful with or without it. Tears started to fall down her cheek at the thought of Kya being the favorite child. She quickly wiped away the tears, smiled at herself in the mirror, and walked out of her room. Today she decided she wanted to do some shopping to get her mind off of everything. While she was shopping she saw an old man fall out of his wheelchair so she went over to help him and asked him if he was okay. By the time she helped him get back in the wheelchair, he had already thanked her. "Your welcome sir, Are you okay," she asked. The man nodded and proceeded to analyze the princess as he stated "My school is always available to children such as yourself". He handed her a card and rolled away, when she looked at the card it had an address and read "For the Gifted Minds". She didn't understand why she was given this card but he had got too far to ask so she just put it in her purse and headed back to the castle.
