****

James Goldman is a language tutor so if you would like to request lessons then you will find him here!

((What does the room look like?))

there is everything a teacher/ tutor needs.

James shuffled his papers around the desk and impatiently looked out of the window. He was tired of sitting in the room, there were no appointments booked so he had to wait in his room from 9am-11:30, and then from 1:30 until 5:00. He had a two hour lunch break and then the rest of the evening free but this routine went on every day apart from the weekend. People randomly turned up every now and again, mainly on a monday but it was now wednesday and it was getting rather quiet. It wasn't even half past 9 yet.

((You should know, he should go to the SAFE thread, the rebels are about to invade))

((So the next thing he probably hears in a siren))

((Ohhhh! Okay thank you!))

James suddenly jumped up as the siren's began to sound all around the castle. He jumped to his feet and grabbed his bag, he knew where to go; the safe house.

Adrianna wandered in and found nobody in the room.
Good, she thought. She was early. Sitting down, she propped her feet up on the chair beside hers and continued reading.

Hayden walked in looking for Glee. There was something he needed to clarify with the ill-tempered man. He was in full uniform now; it hadn't taken Tinsley long to get it ready. However, the only person in the room was a girl with her feet up in a strange choice of clothing and makeup.

Adrianna didn't look up.
"I'm sure you're here to learn how to be a princess, too." She said.

((hahaha, Adrianna is my new Favourite selected!!))

"Yes, well I've been told I have a marvelous figure." Hayden politely smiled at her. This one was a freak show, but he knew his place.
Just then Dimitri walked in with Emma. Hayden glowered at the sight of him. Of all the guards Knightsbury irritated him the most; even more than Ryker which was really saying something.
Dimitri bowed to the girls, “Lady Emma, I’ll leave you here. Lady Adrianna very nice to see you. Now if you’ll excuse us, Officer Todd and I need to have a discussion.”
“Of course Sergeant Knightsbury.” Hayden bowed to the girls and followed Dimitri, who led him to the guard’s quarters.

Angie (if anyone recalls, the palace dance teacher) walked in. "Hello ladies. My name is Angie, and i shall be you teacher for today. Mr. Glee is quite busy, and he also forgets that an important part of becoming a princess, or queen, is grace" She said. "Now we seem to be missing a few girls. Any idea where they are?" Asked Angie, searching the girls faces to see if they knew where they were.

Adrianna lowered her feet and put her book down, she knew better than to give a bad impression to the teacher.

Angie smiled, surprised by Lady Valeria's reaction. She curtsied her way. "you are excused. It is a rare honor to meet someone whom is into dance" She said truthfully. Angie was only 23, yet she had always been exceptional at dance. Even at a young age, she would enter contests. She tended to be in the top 3, but at times, she would be 4th. "Now please, darling, take a seat, while we wait for the other girls" she said. Her voice was sweet, and full of care, and grace.

Lyra and Marigold came in with Scarlett. Each of them curtsied and took a seat.

"Girls" Angie says. "please next time make sure to be on time or early, for Mr.Glee does not take well to late commers" She adds. Angie personally could not care less if anyone is late for her class. It's their loss, but Glee, boy when someone was late for his classes, all hell breaks loose.

"Sorry madame, we were just told about today's lesson." Said Marigold.

"Don't worry, when you are in my class, there is no need to worry about being late, just becareful with Mr.Glee and his classes" Angie warned. "now, we are missing 2 i believe" She noticed.

"Natsumi is in the hospital," said Lyra. She had heard some of the staff talking about it.

Willa pounded to the door, breathing heavily. She composed herself and walked into the room, pausing to curtsy for their teacher.
"I'm so sorry, madame. I seemed to have lost track of the time. I swear, I'll never be late again!" She said, hurriedly.

Emma waited for classes to begin, she took the time to look around at the others girls in the selection as she hadn't really paid much attention before.

"not to worry for my class, but don't be late when Mr.Glee starts teaching" Angie said. "Well alright, Miss.Natsumi will miss this lesson them. Lesson one is on grace, manners, and style" Angie explained. "We shall start with the walk. Everyone, stand up, and show me your best posture" Angie added, as she herself got up. She stood prefectly straight as she watched the girls.

Adrianna stood up, standing straight. She knew she had good posture, she had to as a child. In her class it was either stand up straight or be punished.
"You're all fives, sixes and sevens. If you want to be respected at all, you need to look civilised." Her teacher had said.

Willa stood up as straight as she could, but she didn't know how well she was doing. As an artist she was always sitting down or slouching over one of her pieces. After just a few moments her back was getting tired.

Emma bit her lip, she knew how to sit properly on a horse... but that's not what Ms. Natsumi wanted. Her posture on her upper half was quite good because she used to do dressage to bring in extra money before her father died, her lower half was not as good because she just didn't know what to do.

((Lol it's Angie, Natsumi is a selected.))

Lyra stood with prefect posture. Ironically, she didn't learn this from dancing but from her brothers. They would always order her to stand straight and salute them when ever they played warriors and goblins. Though it did come in handy when dancing formally.

Marigold tried standing straight, but she ended up pushing her neck and shoulders a little too far for perfect posture.

Angie walked around completey staright, and fixed anyone who was slightly off posture. "No stay perfectly still" she said. She brought a bunch of books out. "Not that you are standing straight, you must learn to walk with the same posture, grace, and elagance" she said, as she placed a book on her head and walked around putting a single book on each girls head. Angies book stayed in place, not moving at all. "Now, take a step forward when you feel comfortable." she said, as she heself walked around the room, demenstating.

Feeling embarrassed, Lyra complied and followed Angie around with the book on her head. It wasn't really difficult for her since she always kept good posture.

Marigold meanwhile couldn't stand straight with the book on her head, let alone walk. This is so stupid, she thought,How does keeping a book on your head show good posture? It's not like it's something we'd do normally.

"The book will help you maintain good posture through out the walk. If it fall, your posture is off. If not, you walk well, and up right" Angie explained, as she saw Marigold make a face. "It may seem stuid, but every elete selected must go through it, every dancer must go through it, and even Aaron had to go through it." Angie said as she continued to walk around. She noticed that Marigold was getting frusterated, but it was normal. It took practice.

Lyra wondered how long she was going to have to do this for. Aaron had said they would plan the ball together, but she hadn't seen him since that day. Was he mad at her? She hoped he didn't find her boring now...

Angie observed as the girls seemed to be improving. "alright, put the books down. Time for 4 inch and 3 in heels" she said. "There is a rack of shoes there, take your pick. There are different sizes. Pick ones you like because you keep them afterwards." she added. She took out her pair of shoes from a while ago.

She had loved them because of there color. I mean come on, every dancer needs a pair of crazy heels right?

This was something Marigold could do. Normally she wore high heels whenever she went to a party; basically she was in heels more than flats.

Lyra wore high heels sometimes when she worked. She wasn't a fan of them, but her mother had taught her how to walk in them. So much of their job had to do with apperence. If they looked uncivlized, no one wanted to hire them.

Once Angie had her heels on, she got up from her chair, and tested them out. it had been a while since she wore these specific ones. She watched as the girld looked through the dozens of diffferent heels.

Looking out the window lost in thought, Lyra saw something that made her scream. She immedately closed her eyes and put her hands over them as well for good measure. Her entire face was bright red. There swinging by the window, was a boy in nothing but underwear. He had olive skin and wavy black hair. When they had breifly made eye contact, he winked at her.

Angie turned around, and saw, now which one is he? Paolo, yes she thought. She quickly ran over in her heels and closed the curtains. "Im going to kill Aaron" She mumbled under her breath. "pretend you never saw that" Angie quickly said. She walked out through the door, looking for a guard. One specific one in particular. "Hayden, you out here?" she called, in a quite shout. She hated raising her voice, so she kept her voice quite quiet most of the time. The hallway had lots of twists and turns, so he could have been anywhere.

"Hey! Hey! Dammit Todd! I was speaking to you!" shouted Dimitri.

"Yes. Yes. You can bitch about my hair being too long later. I'm being called." Hayden walked up to Angie; glad for the excuse to leave the lecture.

"How may I help you Madame Angie?"

Angie's cheekstrned red. She had never been called Madame before. "uh..." she was lost at words for a moment but then said "first, It's just Angie, and uh, one of the royals just uh, how should i put this, took a look at my class" She said this quickly, because it was not something comenly complained about. "Would it be too much to ask if you could bring someone along with you to uhm.... get things under control?" she asked. Her cheeks were still slightly red, but hey, not the best topic around.

Hayden blinked a couple times processing what she was saying. Looked at her class? Hayden went into the room looking for peep holes. He saw oneof the selected looked like she was going to pass out. Burdock was waving a piece of paper like a fan near the girl's face. The other girls were looking at the window. He turned and saw what the fuss was about.
"I'll take care of it." It was yet to be determined if the smile on his face was good or bad.

"Thank you, I owe you one" she said. She was not one to take favours for granted. When she asked for a favour, and it was acknowledged, she was more than willing to return the favour. She smiled lightly. , and turned to see the dristressed looks on her student's faces.

"Um Ms. Angie, I think Lyra needs to lay down," said Marigold looking concerned. The poor girl was clearly very innocent.

Angie jogged back into the rooms, still on her heels. She whistled out the door, and several gaurds ran in. They quickly made a bed with all the soft chairs in the room, and carried Lyra to them. They layed her down gently. Angie then shewed then away, with again a promise of a favour in return. "darling, take deep breaths" Angie said to Lyra. "And cupcake, trust me this is nothing. If Paolo caught you when you were just coming out of the shower, that would be worse" she said. A few years ago, Paolo had gotten really drunk, and wandered into Angie's room. And yes, he had caught her right after her shower, and of course gotten the wrong idea. He had a black eye for a while after that. When drunk, it's easy to knock someone out. Angie shook the thoughts out of her mind, and focused on the panic attack Lyra seemed to be getting.

Marigold thought it was impossible, but Angie mentioning being caught in the shower made Lyra's face even redder. "Um, maybe we should get someone? Are you going to tell Aaron about this? Shouldn't he be protecting us from this kind of thing?" Mari wondered how Aaron would feel about Lyra passing out. The two seemed pretty close. She hadn't met him yet, but she would hope he'd worry over her being like this too.

"The other Royals are none of Aarons business" Said Angie. "Aaron has an important prior engagment, so he will not been seem for the next day or so, and Miss Lyra, as far as I know, tomorrow he would like to meet you in the library" Angie added. "Everyone else, to cut the lesson short, and hopefull get all this to blow over, Im going to take you all to the mall to get your ball dresses" Angie said. She was desperate to calm things over. "On me" she added. "But you must wear the heels" She added, needing to keep the lesson going even though she would be taking the shoppping.

Aren't we his business? Thought Marigold...oh well she didn't want to upset Angie. She helped Lyra up,"Come on hon, the fresh air will do you good."

"alright, follow me" Angie said to all the girls.

((to the royal mall))

((Don't forget about the garden))

((oh yeah sorry))

((Oh wow, I've just seen all this I'm sorry!!))

James Goldman sauntered into the room holding an apple in his hand ''My apologies ladies! I lost track of time, now, what topic would you like to explore today? Should we pick up from where we left off last week with the Latin? Or shall we do a bit of Geography?'' he asked, wondering if he should tutor them all seperatly or all together.

((Angie took them to the mall. :/ Sorry, since you were not there, I got Angie to teach them. He can go to the mall though, and heard 'em all up for class))

ALL CHARACTERS PUT ON YOUR DRESSES AND SUIT FOR THE BALL HAS BEGUN. ALL CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN 'PAUSED'. EVERYONE TO THE BALLROOM!
