The Letter Flash Fiction Entry #4

           Azealia stares at the letter, it’s addressed to her!  She runs into her room and tears it open. Her eyes opened wide. 

            “oh my gosh!” She screams

            Azealia’s mom, hearing all the commotion runs into Azealia’s room, and reads the letter.

            “Azealia, this is an invitation to the royal ball!” She exclaims 

            “May I go? Please?” 

            “Well, I don’t like the Idea of you going unsupervised, but how can you say now to royalty?!”

            “Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” 

————The Next Day At School————

             “Guess what everyone!”  Azealia says as she skips into her classroom, invitation in hand.  “I’m invited to the royal ball!”

            A group of girls in the back of the room start laughing.

            “Sure you did!”  One says, “and so did my pet cat!”

            “It’s true!” Azealia says as she holds up the invitation.

            All of a sudden the teacher walks in.  “Please take your seats!” She says.

            Azealia skips to her seat.

            A girl in the back turns and whispers to another, “the fish took the bait!”  They share a devious grin, then turn their attention to the teacher.

————That Night———-

            Azealia runs up to her room, the ball starts in an hour!  And when she looked on her bed, there was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen! It was blue and puffy, with lace! Azealia squealed with delight. She then put on the dress, and runs down the stairs.

            “Have fun sweetie!” Azealia’s mom says as she pushes Azealia out the door.  

            Azealia walks to the palace, she must wait in line, because lots of people were invited, but eventually she gets to the front. 

            “Invitation please!” A guard says.

            Azealia hands the guard her invite.  

            “This is forged!” The guard shouts at Azealia.

            “no, its not,” Azealia says worriedly. "I got it in the mail!”

            The woman behind Azealia, feeling sympathetic and knowing her daughter Alyssa probably had something to do with the forgery, she decided to take matter into her own hands. 

            “I’m taking this girl as my plus one.” She says

            “oh, Lady Vanhovan, my apologies, please proceed.” The guard says 

            “you didn’t need too do that.” Azealia says, when their past the guard.

            “Nonsense!” The woman says, “by the way, I’m Mrs. Vanhovan”

            “I’m Azealia, and thanks!”

            “No problem!"

————The Next Day At School————

            Azealia walks into her classroom, half happy half sad.

            “Ok,” she says, “which one of you put a fake invitation into my mailbox?”

            “What’s the matter?”  A girl in the back asks “did the little baby get her dreams crushed?”

            “Alyssa?  It was you?”  Azealia asks sadly.

            All the girls in the back burst out laughing

            “How did she not suspect?” One asks.

            “Alyssa, is your last name Vanhovan?”  Azealia asks.

            Alyssa stops laughing “um, yeah?” She says.

            “Well your mom, Mrs. Vanhovan, took me as her plus one!” Azealia says laughing.

            “no she didn’t,”  Alyssa says nervously.

            “You better believe it! Because thanks to you, and your mom, I had the time of my life last night!” Azealia laughs so hard tears are brought to her eyes.
