Girl Scout Camp Eats your soul....

So seeing as this week is gs day camp I have had very little time to write (besides tonight), but as much as I really want to keep my new story under wraps (hoping it will motivate me more) I felt a need to share a little of the story I have fallen in love with....


The Importance of Position

Ch. 1

The Ball had been just as successful and stuffy as always. Prince Arimond Laroque was getting ready to leave meaning their ritual goodbye was necessary. Melinda walked over to the door meeting Arimond. “Arimond,” Melinda pouted “do you really have to go?” “Melinda, darling, I must. Don’t worry. I will be back before you know it.” Kissing each other on the cheek, the whispered “Love you” just loud enough for the people nearest to them to hear. Turning, they saw the gossip tongues wagging. Smiling, Arimond left and Melinda searched the ballroom for Adelena. Finding her by the balcony doors, Melinda headed towards her. As she walked across the ballroom she heard the ladies whispering to one another. “Lady Leewood and Prince Arimond make such a cute couple.” and “They have been intended since birth. It is so romantic.” Pushing through the people and avoiding conversations, Melinda finally made it across the room to the Adelena. The exhaustion and frustration must have shown on her face because Adelena took one look at her and dragged her back across the room and out the doors. “We are leaving. You are exhausted and look like you are about to pass out.” Adelena dragged her upstairs to her room. “Gosh Leni, I should have become an actress.” Laughing, Adelena started helping Melinda out of her ball gown. “I am not sure your father would approve.” “The only thing my father approves of is my ‘relationship’ with your brother. Too bad he doesn’t know it is all a big scam.”


Carpe Diem,
