Chapter one
Maria was forbidden from going up to the top floors of the castle. she really wanted to know what was up there. Perhaps there was a cursed item that would bring destruction down upon the world? Maybe there was a monster. She could never stop herself from wondering.
Yes, Maria lived in a castle. She was not a princess. Her family was rich and loved living in huge buildings. When they had found a castle for sale, they had instantly bought it. Sadly, Maria still had to go to school. It was a couple miles away from the castle. In fact, she could see it from her window.
The top floors were the one hundred and something floors and above. Those were the forbidden ones. She had her room on the 90th floor. It had a balcony, a bathroom, a mini kitchen, and the bedroom. She didn't need all that, but it was good because she didn't have to get up super early and race to the evelvater and ride it all the way to the kitchen for breakfast.
Her room had wallpaper that looked like it had vines covering a gray stone wall. Her bed was huge and it had pink flower sheets. It also had a canopy. She had a nightstand with a lamp and some books on it. There were some paintings on the walls. She had lots of windows.
She was thinking about the top floors when her mother called Maria.
"Yes?" said Maria when she picked up the phone.
"Time for school," her mother said.
"Coming," Maria said before hanging up. She sauntered over to the elevater and rode it all the way down to the first floor. She grabbed her stuff and ran out to the ca- I mean, limousine. When she got to school, she jumped out and walked to class.
Her classes were boring. When it was lunch, she sauntered over to a table and sat down. She watched people come in as she ate lunch. She saw a group of girls who looked indentical with their clothing. They all wore black high heels, blsck skirts with black leggings, and a white shirt with a black leather jacket. They all looked pretty, but Maria knew she was prettier.
Maria wore high-heeled sandles, black tights, a knee-length purple skirt, a black V-neck shirt with a rose on it. Maria also had icy blue eyes, nearly white skin (yet she never got sunburned), and had wavy, long, gold colored hair. The leader of the girls had green eyes, straigth brown hair, and lightly tanned skin.
Some other people that came in were another group of girls, but they were obviously friends, some loners, some more groups, and finally, a girl who looked super nervous.
The girl noticed Maria sitting alone and walked over.
"Hi. I am Alora. Who are you?" Alora asked.
"I'm Maria. If you want to sit down, then go ahead. I do not own this table," Maria said.
Alora smiled and said, "You live in that castle right?"
"Uh-huh. Do you know what's on the top floors?" Maria asked.
"Nope, sorry," Alora said.
After classes, they chatted for a bit. Alora had amber eyes, blonde curly hair, and pale skin. She was not nearly as pretty as me Maria thought. After a little while, Maria's mother picked her up.
When they got home, Maria did her homework, then changed into her fancy clothes. Her mother was hosting a party so Maria had to look great.
Alora came with her parents. She arrived first, so they chatted for a while in Maria's room. Maria told her that she really wanted to see what was on the forbidden floors. Alora had so many ideas for what could be up there.
Tons of guests had arrived, so they decided to stay in her room and steer clear of all the chaos. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

If I get comments, I will post chapter two. Also, for the clothes, I looked up types of clothes so I could be more descriptive. And since I am writing this by myself, you wioll only have to wait for me to have enough time to write.

Oooo, interesting...
Huh, I wonder if Alora's rich as well. Perhaps she can teach Maria a thing or two about humility if not...

Chapter Two
Alora's POV
"Wanna do something fun?" asked Maria.
I turned and said, "Uh, sure. What do you want to do?"
Maria sighed, then said, "I really want to know what's on the top floors."
I shuddered. My imagination was way too wild. I was imagining other worlds, creatures, and so much more. Plus, I wanted to wait for my next dream. I can interpret dreams, actually.
"Hey. Alora. Want to go downstairs?" Maria asked.
"Uh, sure?" I said.
"You don't sound sure," Maria said.
We went downstairs attempting to avoid Mrs. Kinsman(Maria's mother), who would introduce us to someone and make us take them with us. Unfortunately, Mrs. Kinsman spoted us.
"Maria, come here. There is someone I want you to meet," Mrs. Kinsman said.
"I'm busy! I'll meet 'em later!" MAria said quickly.
Mrs. Kinsman sighed and walked over. Behind her was a girl I reconized from school. She was the leader of the most popular group in school. She didn't look happy.
"This is Emma Wood. I bet you two, sorry, three, will get along great," said Mrs. Kinsman.
Emma stared at us. Maria was glaring at her extremely icily. FInally Maria just started towards the basement and I followed her. Emma sighed and followed us as well.
Maria spun around and said, "Do not follow us around. Where are you friends?"
Emma looked stunned then glared at us while she said, "My friends didn't have to come. And you should be grateful that I am letting you possibly be part of my friend group at school."
"Please. More like you are the leader, and they are your pets. No way I'd be part of that," Maria said haughtily.
"Hmph! Fine, good luck being popular," said Emma.
"I don't need to be popular and in charge of my friend, unlike SOMEONE," MAria said.
"What did you just say?" Hissed Emma.
"You know what I said. Now go away," Maria said.
Emma stormed off, and we explored the basement.

Maria's POV
Morning has come. I got dressed and looked in the mirror. To day I was wearing a sun-dress, black leggings, my high-heeled sandles, and a butterfly hairclip which was iredescent and rainbow.
When I got to school, classes were boring again. At lunch, i sauntered to the table I sat at last time. I waited for Alora to finish walking over, then we chatted while we ate. Emma and her friends glared at me the whole time. So did pretty much everyone else. WHat did I care?
When I got home, I went to my room, did my homework, then relaxed on my balcony. When it was dinnertime, I washed my hands like Mom always makes me do, then came to the dinnertable and sat down. Dinner was not fancy. However, I could tell Mom wasn't happy at me for something. I assume it was Emma. Come to think of it, Mom had tried to say something to me earlier, but I had rushed to school.
"Why do you look so mad Mom?" I asked, knowing the answer.
"Well, shortly after I introduced Emma to you, she came back over looking very angry," Mom said.
"Oh yeah. We didn't want her to follow us around, so I told her to go away. She wanted to anyway," I told Mom.
"I don't think that's the whole story," Mom said.
"I also told her that in her group of 'friends' was really just that she was the owner and her friends were pets. Also, I will never get along or apologize to her, so don't bother coming up with a punishment. It won't work," I said to Mom.
"I know. However, when we have a party next month, I expect you to get along with Emma," Mom said in her "I will not budge" voice.
Well, I said to her, "That is impossible. We hate each other. I will not pretend to be friends with her. I will not talk to her."
Mom sighed, knowing that she could not change my mind. She went upstairs and I finished dessert.
