The moment I opened my eyes on a new unfamiliar world, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I was scared yet also excited. I thought this could be another chance given for a forsaken girl. I want to live this second life more differently, I want to live out through the age where I can no longer see the beautiful scenery of life, 'til I'm wrinkled enough like a crumpled paper waiting to be thrown away. I want to live!

"My name is Ella. I am 20 years old and I am from another world faraway from yours. I am a college student who died from stess and fatigue. I was an orphan living on a rundown heritage home near a creak outside of town. I had black curly hair that falls right above the shoulders, I had dark brown eyes and fair skin and had blemishes here and there... and I had cats and dogs.. and---do I have to say more?" Crying.
...
"What the fuck Thana! How am I supposed to deal with you when all you've done is laze around all day!" Screamed the young lady.
She continues to scream and shout, nagging about everything that caught her attention. While Thana was scrubbing the floor for 13th time.
'Hi! My name is... or was Ella, I was just a normal student back then when I got transmigrated into this world. At first, I was excited, my life back then was full of misfortunes and bad luck. I was the lowest in the social rankings, I was the rustiest spoon of the sort. When I accepted that I died and got this second chance of life all I knew was that I'm gonna live this life and be rich as hell. For sure I knew what will happen to this world for it was a book I had already read during my teenage years. It's the same old classic story of rags-to-richest with princes and castles and of course! a villainess?---a devil in disguise'
"Umm... by the way Lady Debbie, have you read the letter that came from the palace?" I ask. Cutting her from all the ear screaching nagging.
"What!! what letter!! Why you lowly housekeeping-thug would hide such important thing from me all day!!!!" She screams.

"Well, at least the floor of this mansion is now a mirror thanks to you~~" I replied.
Before Thana could even finish, Lady Debbie hurried herself into the drawing room where the letters are. Holding her pair of shoes in her hands as she runs bare foot. Thana then followed her into the same room, taking her time gliding through the mirrored floor.
"Any news?" I ask.
"Shh... stop talking! your voice is making it all bad" She said. Opening the letter in a very disgraceful manner.
'Well, I hope the letter itself survives' I said to myself while clicking my tongue for dissatisfaction.
"Heresay! I hereby announce that a public ball will be held at the Count's manor in three days time. I hereby request all eligible ladies to prepare for the Selection of the County's representative to be presented a one time chance to be chosen as the Prince's bride..."
As Lady Debbie was reading the letter, her pitch ascends in every words she speaks, leaving Thana covering her ears and bracing herself from the aftermath.
"ARGHHHHH!!!! I'm an eligible lady! and eligible lady!!!I Ohhhhh I can't waitt!! Come Thana, we will be shopping for clothes!!!" She screamed for the million(th) times.
'I just hope my ears will remain intact after the story ends' I mumble to myself.
...
'The story had finally began. In the book I read "Here Comes Cinderella's Prince", the main character--me-- will meet the prince outside the Count's mansion because I was not "eligible" enough to join the Selection. The problem here Is that I don't know the Prince's name nor his face... and'
"What are you waiting for Thana, choose your dress, you're coming with me!" Lady Debbie said.
"What!? I'm coming with you? to the ball? are you nuts?" I said.
'She smacked me in the head with her bag for calling her nuts and all other sorts of reasons, but all that aside, I'm still coming with her to the ball... now that's a huge change'
