“A story of a princess named Ella, trapped at the top of a tower guarded by a dragon, forever gazing up at the stars and wishing she was free. And of handsome, charming princes in shining armor coming to her rescue but never succeeding. Never defeating the giant, fire-breathing dragon. And so the princess stayed in the tower, and I always wondered when the right prince would finally arrive to save her. I loved imagining that my life was a fairy tale. That I was really a princess, and my dad would ride in on his majestic horse to save me. That was before I grew up and found out about boys. My dad never did tell me the ending to that bedtime story. I asked him if the princess would be trapped in that tower forever, always waiting. He never gave me a straight answer, though, saying I had to figure out the ending for myself.”

“Once upon a time, there was a princess named Ella. She was smart and beautiful, but most of all, she was kind.” This was when I would put my arms around him and close my eyes, my breathing slowing and steadying with every word that reached my ears. Then he would pull the covers up to my chest and tell me the rest of the story.”

“TheRealCinderella: Hi, I’m Ella Reyes! Nice to meet you all. My name is Daniela, but no one calls me that. I do know Rey from last year’s math class, and she’s really cool, by the way. I have two stepsisters, Courtney and Lindsay. Maybe you know them. Anyway, feel free to introduce yourself too. TheRealCinderella: And whatever we say here, stays here. Say whatever you want. Rant. Laugh. Cry. Say what’s on your mind. My lips are sealed :)”

“Why do the referees keep stopping the game?” Rey asked. “They’re calling fouls,” Lena said, not tearing her eyes from the players down on the court. The rest of us were clearly on a different level. She shouted the whole time, booing when the ref called a foul on us and cheering when our team made a shot. From our vantage point halfway up in the stands, we had a great view of the action. Even though the opposing team was obviously good, the score was tied. Thanks to Jesse, who was easily one of the top players.”

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking the past week. And the more I think, the more I realize that it sucks not talking to you. I get it. Maybe you think we come from different backgrounds. That in real life, we’re completely different people. But who cares? In the past year, when has that ever mattered? I want to be able to look into your eyes or hear you laugh. Maybe hold your hand. Ask you for a dance. Baller929: Will you go to Homecoming with me?”
― Yesenia Vargas, #TheRealCinderella

“To my surprise, the next day, we sat together again. First, it was just me. But then Reyna’s class came in, and she walked right over, journal and tray in hand. We were already talking and laughing about how the chem teacher had made references to Harry Potter on that day’s quiz when Selena and Harper joined us a few minutes later. Rey shook her head. “I knew I had heard the word gillyweed somewhere so I thought that was the answer!”

“WWSoccerGirl: I’m Selena, by the way :) I’m on the varsity soccer team. I’ve played since I could walk. I have three older brothers and an older sister. They all play too. I guess my whole family’s obsessed with futbol. Lol. And I suck at math :) and most school subjects. I’d rather be out on the soccer field! Wow. So Reyna, Harper, and Selena had replied. This was great.”

My mom wanted a fresh start, and her best friend from college lives here. Anyway, it’s great to meet all of you :D AKATheNewGirl: Is it me or is the librarian kind of weird? WWSoccerGirl: The way she wipes down the books constantly! And she makes a face if you want to renew a book! I thought I was the only one who noticed!”
