Princess No More

I was in my room shedding tears I have been holding all breakfast time. I was blowing my nose when I heard a knock on my door.
"Who is it?" I asked, making no effort to sound proper.
"Open the door this instant!" Came the booming voice of mother. I slowly made my way to the door, making no effort to conceal my tears.
"You have embarrassed us with your ways for the last time!" Boomed mother marching into my room. I hate when she gets angry.
"Mother, you know I dispose Victoria!!" I yell at my mother for the first time in my life. Mother freezes in her place.
"Well...I never!" She said. I was fuming.
"Let me tell you what you never! You don't know anything about me!" I scream, so loud that a maid peeks her head in my room and then pops out.
"You're my daughter! I know everything about you!" She bellows as if offended.
"When is my birthday?" I ask calmly sitting on my bed.
"Umm...January?" She asks. I was deeply offended. I felt a single tear fall down my face, now followed by a new army of tears.
"No, today is my birthday." I whisper, trying to hide my tears. I can tell mother is guilty. She comes and sits next to me on the bed.
"Joanna, I'm so sorry. We thought with Victoria here, you could learn more about being a lady." She says hugging me.
"Did you know I hate Victoria?" I ask her looking into her brown eyes that match mine.
"I thought you could be friends again. I just don't understand why you choose to have a best friend that's a servant when you could choose anyone you want." She asks, sounding firmer.
"Milly understands me." Is all I say. I can't believe she even brought up Milly right now.
"Please give Victoria a chance." She pleads and I feel a Tera land on my hair. Mother's crying.
"I'll give her a chance. On one condition" I say.
"What" she answers.
"Love me like you love my sister." I say. At that note, mother picks herself up and walks out of my room without a word. She really mustn't love me.
