[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/5jvbd0.jpg] "Dialogue" "Hearing" Thoughts Narration Just another day here at the training center. I practically live here now. All of my time is spent here. I don't think I could recall a time that I've slept in my own bed or even visited the district square other than when I need to. Everything that happens in my life well.... lets just say it happens here at the center. Nothing and I mean nothing, happens except here. Sometimes, I do wish that I wasn't so obsessed with training. Maybe I'd have a life outside of my district, but I do enjoy it here. Well, I better get cracking at training here. Its why I practically live here. The first that happens surprises even me. A girl who I swear hasn't been here before is watching me, but I try to ignore this. I happen to bring myself toward the weights, but before I can lift a single thing, I find the girl leading me out of center by holding onto my hand. What the heck? Why is she even doing this. I could of hurt her. I don't even know why I just let this unknown girl lead me away. "Hey Princess, what do you think you're doing huh?" I shake the grip she has on me, while I stand there waiting for her answer.

I don't know what possessed me to sneak out and go to a training center of all places, or what possessed me to watch all the big guys play around with their swords. Was this why mom and dad never let me out, so that way I didn't look like a big idiot waving around a pointy stick? I'm glad they kept me home if that was the case, it wasn't right for someone of my stature to be seen looking like an idiot, I had to be an example of grace, beauty, and power. I think that's why I needed to break up one of the fights that was going on, I needed those boys to know that I was their queen, that I was above all this foolishness. At least he wasn't waving his pointy stick anymore, he was just going to the weights. That's when I made my move, I charged across the facility and grabbed onto him, pulling him quickly from the facility. What I didn't expect was his irritated reaction by pulling his hand from mine and demanding to know what I was doing.
"Excuse me...do you KNOW who I am? I'm Kayla Braxton, I'm your princess, I can do all of this if I want to and you just have to do it because I said so." I look him over childishly, my lips pursed and a glare that I hoped was intimidating on my face.

"Excuse me...do you KNOW who I am? I'm Kayla Braxton, I'm your princess, I can do all of this if I want to and you just have to do it because I said so." I break out in laughter. This girl thinks she's a princess? I must of inflated her ego or something when I mentioned that. My eyes sweep over her and now I see why she believes the word princess applies to her. Her beauty is absolutely stunning. I wont admit that right away though, her ego doesn't need to get bigger than it already is. If she knew what I though of her beauty, I wouldn't hear the end of it from her. "Excuse me princess." I smear the word princess to cover how I felt so far about miss Kayla. "You wont be telling me what to do. You're no princess to me missy."

I swear if this Kayla girl guesses how I truly feel about the princess thing, I'll deny everything. The glare she tries to give me isn't all that convincing due to her beauty. She even looks childish doing it with her lips pursed. I cant help myself when my eyes continue to behold her amazing beauty. This girl really looks like a princess. When I see out of the corner of my eye that Kayla has a look of triumph on her face, I shake my head to break the eye contact. Kayla will so not let me hear the end of it. She'll be making fun of me for sure. "So Kayla, why are you here hmm? Anything important?"

Hopefully the words keep Kayla's mind off of my obvious staring. I want to avoid the teasing for as long as possible. No doubt Kayla caught me staring, why else would she have that look of triumph in her eyes. Its embarrassing to be caught like that. Its like she knew I'd do it. It doesn't help with what she's wearing either. It magnifies the whole princess look. I don't mind admitting to her that she's extremely gorgeous, but I do want to avoid admitting it. I'd rather not give her the satisfaction of watching her own words about being a princess be true. Yet, at the same time, I want to break down in front of her and spill my guts about how amazing she looks and why there aren't other boys trying to fight for her attention.

Did he really think that I wasn't his princess, did he really think I didn't have the power to boss him around and tell him what to do? I'm Kayla Braxton, I can do what I want when I want because it's within my power to do so, my parents promised me I had the power to do all this. Why then did this boy, this...creature insist on fighting me, insist on pretending that I didn't have the hold on him that I should? I frowned and barely heard his words as he seemed to belittle and berate me, I could tell the sarcasm in his voice when he addressed me, it was obvious enough, and yet it didn't hurt me. I felt too confused to even bother responding to that right now, if my parents said I was a princess I should be able to tell him what to do, and yet he treated me as if I was a joke.

Then it all dawned me, he must be one of those people my parents told me about, he had to be one of the people who didn't yet know I was their princess. That had to be it, he was definitely one of those ignorant people I was told about. I couldn't help but smile as it dawned on me what the matter was, it was so funny I could barely contain my joy and happiness. Finally I started paying attention to what he was saying, the sound of his voice already grating on my nerves...or was that just his attitude. Either way I was finding him to be mildly annoying, and his question annoyed me too, I was a princess, I could be anywhere and do anything I wanted, whenever I wanted. So naturally I looked at him like he was a lunatic, because quite frankly he was a lunatic if he didn't realize that I was royalty.

"Well sir, if it's any business of yours I'm here to find the people that don't realize I'm the princess of this district. I guess I found one faster than I thought I would though. What's your name sir...I would like to put you down as one of the people who needs to learn about how things work around here." Waving my hand casually I began to walk away from him, barely paying attention to if he was following me, after all, if he knew what was good for him he would follow me. "Are you coming or not, I need to explain how things work around her to you, and it's obvious you're ignorant to how this district really works."

"Well sir, if it's any business of yours I'm here to find the people that don't realize I'm the princess of this district. I guess I found one faster than I thought I would though. What's your name sir...I would like to put you down as one of the people who needs to learn about how things work around here." Who does this girl think she is? How things work around here? No, I wont be told what to do by this girl who portrays herself as a simple minded princess who's extremely stuck up and full of herself. This girl is even waving me forward as she's walking like I'm some slave to her or something. "Are you coming or not, I need to explain how things work around her to you, and it's obvious you're ignorant to how this district really works."

Holy shit, Kayla is so stuck up. Ignorant? Kayla is the ignorant one. Reluctantly, my legs push me toward Kayla. I don't want to follow her, but I do want to show her what's up. The way she walks, its like she owns the place. Sure she has good clothes and such an amazing figure, but that doesn't mean squat to me. "Listen here princess." Again, I smear the word princess. Its so funny watching and hearing this girl reaction to the my so called ignorance. "I know exactly how things work around here. Maybe you're the ignorant one. You're stuck up and most definitely not a princess." I mutter the word beautiful. The word slips from my tongue before I could reign it in. I smack my hand on my forehead. I don't know where that came from, but the word slipped out nonetheless. Kayla will most certainly hear it this time if she's paying attention at all.

Wow. She will most certainly catch that. Its a miracle that I didn't get caught staring. I have no idea if Kayla will confront me about that now. My words will be void if she does. I wont be taken seriously when I say she isn't a princess. Hopefully my reign of luck continues with her not picking up what I said. It would be so bad if she did. I don't bother saying a word to try and cover up what I said. I don't want to act suspicious by doing it. Besides, I don't have anything else to say really. Hopefully she's as ignorant as before.

I kept walking, the assumption that he would follow coming to fruition when I could hear his footfall behind me. Of course he followed me, he knew what was good for him, he knew I could get him hung if he didn't. I was his monarch, just like I ruled over everyone else here. He was just a little slow to catch up with things, a little slow period if I'm being honest, he definitely seemed kind of dumb. What was it my parents had said to me, "The more muscle they have the dumber they usually are", well he was proving it. He had muscle to spare, just no muscle in that head of his, I think his brain needed a work-out. Glancing behind me I couldn't help but smile, at least he caught on fast with things, maybe there was some hope yet for him to figure things out.

Then again things always changed quickly for me, that was my life as usual, nothing was ever easy for me. He just HAD to insist that I wasn't really a princess, he just HAD to say that I was ignorant about how things worked. He did NOT just say all that to me, who did he think he was? Although I would swear he had said I was beautiful, or something was beautiful, but what else was around for him to say was beautiful, and let's be honest I was beautiful. His statement made little sense to me though if he called me beautiful, this guy was even more of a joke than I thought if he insisted on keeping up his facade. Turning around with a sigh I couldn't help but smile at him, he was either trying to flirt or he couldn't come to terms with the fact that I was royalty. I gave him a condescending look and tapped my foot on the ground impatiently before addressing him.

"Well I'm flattered you think I'm beautiful, but that's completely irrelevant at the moment. I am your monarch sir, and you would do well to understand that now before it gets you into trouble. Even you had to admit that I'm beautiful like a princess, your sarcasm couldn't hide that remark, and I'm not sure why you're even bothering to pretend that you don't worship the ground I walk on." I give him an impish grin and walk over to him. "Admit it, I'm your princess and you need to listen to me because I'm your ruler." I hold out my hand to him, waiting for him to kiss it, "I'll give you a chance to make up for this if you show the proper loyalty to me, your princess."

"Well I'm flattered you think I'm beautiful, but that's completely irrelevant at the moment. I am your monarch sir, and you would do well to understand that now before it gets you into trouble. Even you had to admit that I'm beautiful like a princess, your sarcasm couldn't hide that remark, and I'm not sure why you're even bothering to pretend that you don't worship the ground I walk on." This so called princess is way too stuck up. The hilarious part of all this, she doesn't even know it. Yet, she did catch me calling her beautiful. I knew once it slipped from my tongue that she wouldn't let it get past her like earlier when I kept staring at her. This whole princess thing is starting to get out of control, but its hilarious to see everything unfold. Maybe I'll play along just to see what she'll come up with next. I don't even know why I'm following her.

"You know, for a so called princess, you're extremely fake and stuck up. Learn to be nice or something. Never expected a so called princess to act like she owns the damn district." More empty words. I know it and so does the girl. I will never be able to take back the beautiful comment at all. My words are meaningless, but I wont give this girl the satisfaction just yet. "Admit it, I'm your princess and you need to listen to me because I'm your ruler." Wow this girl is extremely full of herself. She holds out her hand to me expecting me to kiss it like a slave. "I'll give you a chance to make up for this if you show the proper loyalty to me, your princess."

This remark brings out a long laughter from me. She just doesn't get it. I don't believe she's a princess at all. However, I decide to play along just to see what other crap she'll come up with. With a smile, I walk toward her and kiss her hand. "Happy princess? I've seen the error of my ways oh great one." I don't even try to hide my enthusiasm. I genuinely mean the words even though it shocks me to silently admit. This so called princess crap isn't that believable to me. Hopefully this girl comes up with more crap for me to listen to. Hearing her prance around like she owns the place is really quite amusing to me.

Okay, I know he did NOT just say that I was fake and stuck up. Sure I lacked some of the proper people skills, but fake and stuck up...it would be a cold day in hell before I took that insult. "Excuse me sir, but I'm a lot of things, but fake and stuck up aren't any of them okay? Let me make this very clear to you right now, I'm not fake or stuck up, this is my district and I have to command respect. If I don't seem 'stuck up' as you call it I would be the laughing stock of the district, and who would listen to me then? I'll tell you who, no one would listen, no one would listen to a single word I have to say.

I knew he was just being a prick, but I couldn't help but defend myself against his accusations. I could see it in his face, I could see that he didn't mean a single word that he was saying, but I wanted him to know I could take care of myself should the need arise. Something about the way he looked at me annoyed me, like I was a little child that he was humoring. I glared at him as he began to laugh, an annoying laugh, and yet I couldn't shake the desire to start laughing myself, joining it with his. There was something humorous about the whole situation, how stubborn he was and how ridiculous I must sound to him.

"Yes, yes, I'm glad that you see the error of your ways, and I'm glad you finally see me as your sovereign ruler." I smiles widely at him and skip over childishly, taking his hand and pulling him along the street. "Come on, I'll show you around my kingdom and we'll see the sights together. I think if I like you enough I might take you on as one of my person bodyguards, I'm always looking for new bodyguards."
