once upon a time, lived a princess who was rich and pampered. she could ask just for anything that she wanted. the castle she lived in was not only big and spacious, it was so big, the whole town could live in there. although the princess was rich, she hated herself because she was

different. princesses are meant to be pretty & look perfect but princess stella wasn't pretty,

she look awfully normal, or that is what she thinks. king harold and queen diana always thought that stella was amazingly special because she was different, she had imperfections just like

normal people although she had royalty in her blood. princess stella didnt like to socialise with her town people, often, she would lock herself in her room or talk to her fairygod mother.

"one day, you will meet someone, who will appreciate you, who would want you, who would believe in your beauty, someone who loves you my dear princess" said the fairygod mother.

& one day, she thought she met him. he was a new sevant, he was poor and lonely. often he'd work and not communicate. it was then that princess stella noticed him. he looked like her age.

young & fragile. when he worked there for a month, it was then princess stella muster her courage and talked to the teenager. "hello. my name is princess stella. but you can call me stella. would you like to be my friend?", she said, smiling almost too broadly & taking out her right hand. the boy looked at her. confused and scared. just when princess stella thought he was going to reject her offer, he smiled at her, a smile so serene & pure & gentle, and shook her hands. she felt her inside glow. " ariel. im ariel." said the servant politely.

it was when she knew ariel that changed her life, from a lonely anti-social to a friendly, socialable person. ariel told her to be brave, ariel believed in her, ariel had faith in her, it was what her fairygod mother had said. she believed that ariel, was something special, that she treasured like a precious jewel that can never be bought with the wealth that she had. ariel taught her about life outside castle, told her about his family & how he is trying to support his family. princess stella found everything in ariel perfect, even though he isnt rich, he was really happy with his current life. ariel was the best thing that ever happened to princess stella.

when her fairygod mother asked her how she & ariel was, she'd often flush and her stomach makes a flips, her heart beats faster than normal. this was when she realised how much ariel meant to her. "oh the sweetness of being in love", said the fairygod mother. "is this how love makes you feel? all dreamy and happy? and always missing ariel?" thought princess stella.

as they grow up, princess stella's love for ariel grew stronger, she was certain that he was the man of her dreams, she was going to make him prince of her land. but then, ariel changed. he wasnt what he was anymore. he didn't bring her out of the castle like he used to and often find a way to avoid her. one day, princess stella could not take it anymore, she decided to talk to him.

"why are you avoiding me dear ariel?" asked princess stella, her eyes never once left his.

" we couldn't be friends anymore stella." he replied, his expression was stoned and heartless.
