    Instead of playing games I’m going to text Nishi (she taught me how in case I ever got my own cell, and obviously I have her number memorized, since I can only ever call her from the wall phone in the kitchen).
    Nishi is never going to believe any of this!

    Hi, Nish, it’s me, Olivia! I’m using the phone of one of the royal ladies-in-waiting. ;-)
    OMG I’m so glad ur OK! I’ve been so worried! The police came after u left!
    The police? Why? To arrest Annabelle? HA HA HA.
    Ha, no, though they should have. I couldn’t believe it when she jumped u!
    Thanks for having my back.
    Anytime. The police came because no one would get on their buses!
    Really???
    Really! Dr. Bushy was so mad. I think he called them, but Quetta says Annabelle did. She’s so immature. So is it true????
    Is what true?
    What Annabelle said: That ur a princess!!!!!!
    Oh. Yes.
    How can u be so calm about it????
    I’m not, believe me! I’m already getting princess lessons!
    Where???
    The limo!
    What’s it like?????
    It’s cool. I get all the chips and soda I want! And the ceiling lights up all pink and purple and green when you press a button.
    Cool!
    I know. But my sister said to please stop pressing it because it was making her want to throw up.
    What’s ur sister like???
    She’s super nice. But I don’t think she’s used to 12 year olds. She asked me if I want to go to the American Girl doll store for tea!
    HA HA HA!!!!! Did u tell her u don’t have an American Girl doll and that u r 12 not 7?
    No! These people are ROYAL. I’m trying to be polite.
    I would totally go!!!
    I know you would. You’re the one who had lunch at Disney World at the Beauty and the Beast castle last Christmas and got your picture taken with the Beast.
    IT’S MY PROFILE PHOTO!!!
    I know. Listen Nishi, my sister is on her cell phone and I can’t understand everything she’s saying because it’s in French, but I think I heard her say the word “stole.”
    You better stop eating so many chips.
    Not about me! I think it was about Aunt Catherine and Uncle Rick!
    I TOLD u it was strange that they own 2 Ferraris. Most people don’t even own 1.
    They aren’t car thieves!
    How do u know? They have a lot of tools.
    The tools are because they own a home design and construction company!
    I knew there was something weird about u moving to a place where everyone has to cover their faces! They’re on the run!
    I love Nishi, but she can be so dramatic sometimes. I think it’s from living with her grandmother, who watches a lot of Bollywood movies, which are great but not very realistic. I have never seen a whole room of people get up and do the same dance at the same time.

    The men in Qalif don’t have to cover their faces, Nishi, only the women. Just forget I mentioned it.
    OK, but don’t say I didn’t warn u. Where are u going now? To have tea at the American Doll caf é ?
    Ha ha. No. To meet my dad! IN NEW YORK CITY!
    â˜ºâ˜ºâ˜ºâ˜ºâ˜ºâ˜ºâ˜ºâ˜ºâ˜º !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!
    I know! I’M FINALLY GOING TO MEET MY DAD!!!!
    OMG, this is so cool. It is the coolest thing ever. Can I tell everyone?
    I think everyone already knows about the princess thing.
    No, the part about ur dad. And they don’t know the princess part for real. U just confirmed it!
    Well, I think Princess Mia confirmed it when she showed up at school in a limo, but OK, I guess you can tell them.
    YAY!!!!! I can’t wait to see Annabelle’s face tomorrow when she hears!
    Why?
    Because now ur officially a princess! And she’s going to be sick with jealousy!
    Nishi, Annabelle hates princesses, remember? She’s NOT jealous of me.
    Duh! She hates princesses because she knows she’ll never be one, not even on the inside. People who r that snobby and mean r always super insecure. That’s why she
