other girls but I tuned him out. The food was served, and of course it was delicious. When the maid served Anna she turned and smiled at her.
    　
    “Thank you so much! Oh! And tell whoever made this that they are awesome!” She grinned. The maid stood there shocked, but quickly smiled. I think the maid was happy for acknowledgement. Everyone at the table sat there shocked at her actions but otherwise continued talking. My father moved his questioning to Anna that I eagerly listened to.
    　　
    “So, Anna. You go to school? How did you get this time off to do the contest anyways?” He asked interested. She smiled to herself, and I saw that mischievous glint in her eyes.
    　
    “Yes, I go to this smallish school in Montana. And I was on detention for 2 weeks. That’s how I got the time to do this.” She smiled proudly. Demetrius butted in . 　
    　
    “Why did you get detention?” He asked eagerly knowing it would be good. Everyone else had stopped talking to listen as well. What can I say? She was captivating.
    　
    “Well, I put a cow on the second story of the school and put a sign on either side that said, ‘Anna Rules’. Yeah, my principal was not happy! I guess it’s better than the month long sentences I have been getting. Those were good pranks! Oh, and I managed to wrap up Principal Anderson’s car with clear wrap! That was funny!” She started to laugh. Wow, she was a little she-devil! I liked it.
    　
    Demetrius was cracking up next to me and I couldn’t help but laugh as well. She was funny, but I’m sure it isn’t so funny when it’s happening to you. The black haired girl sneered . 　
    　
    “So your grades must suffer from all your absences.” She smirked. Anna smirked right back,
    　
    “Actually they’re perfect. Straight A’s.” She shrugged. The girl looked shocked before her eyes narrowed.
    　
    “That’s a lie! That couldn’t be possible!” She argued. Anna shook her head.
    　
    “Listen…what your name?” She asked.
    　　
    “Elise.” The black haired girl answered.
    　
    “Well, Elise. It’s simple for me because I have a great memory. There, mystery solved.” She took a bite of her food, and continued eating. I shook my head smiling at her. She was beautiful, funny, smart, witty, and seemed down to earth . 　
    　
    “Father? Who gets tonight?” I asked, eager to know if it was Anna or not. He smiled knowingly at me.
    　
    “It’s Miss Elise.” He answered. Elise showed me a megawatt smile, but then Anna interrupted.
    　
    “Um, Elise? You have spinach in your teeth.” Elise looked horrified, and tried to look for a shiny surface to inspect. I chuckled at her.
    　
    “You know there’s nothing in her teeth.” I said lowly to her. I could’ve sworn I saw her shiver since I was close to her, but that was probably my imagination.
    　
    “And? She’s a twit.” She said it like it was nothing. Demetrius heard her and started choking on his water laughing. I patted his back, trying not to laugh as well, at her bluntness. I bent over to her ear, and I saw her stiffen.
    　
    “You speak your mind, don’t you?” I asked. This time I knew she shivered and it sent a smile to my face. She turned and narrowed her eyes at me.
    　
    “Listen Prince dude! I don’t know you and you just popped my personal bubble! Unless there’s a game of Twister, no one pops my bubble. Well, unless I really know you, compendia?” She raised her eyebrow. My father was laughing from down the table along with mother.
    　
    “Oh I like her spunk!” He said chuckling to himself. Anna grinned at him.
    　　
    “So, what’s to do around here?” She asked my father. He grinned at her and told her the various rooms. Like the club room, the gyms, pools, sports room, music room, game room, work out room, and then finally the training yard. Her eyes lit up on that one.
    　　
    “Ooo! Really? Can I check it out?” She asked sounding excited. We all looked at her bewildered because
