A Love Rival

"Aunt Alberta! This is not going to work. You have to help me think of something else. He doesn't even look at me! I might as well be some furniture! I've tried to be nice. I've taken care of my appearance. I've worked so hard and even taken on beverage duty for him."

"Ava, you need to calm down, child." Princess Alberta looked at the young girl who was pacing in front of her with a calm face.

Ava shook her head," No Aunt. You and my father have always assured me that he likes young girls like me. But I've already tried everything! I've tried being friendly and smiling at him, I've tried saying hi, I've asked about his day, I've asked for help with my homework…I've even tried flirting, and nothing works! It's like I'm invisible".
