Elizabeth was in her room.She was ordered up there when her mother was finished lecturing her.Elizabeth looked out the window.It was starting to snow and it was getting hard to see out there.She sighed and heard her parents arguing even more.She pictured Rose just standing there,feeling helpless.Elizabeth watched people walk by on the street behind the house.Thomas was looking down at the ground and kicking rocks.Elizabeth watched him for a little while,feeling bad that she snapped at him.He looked up at her window and glared at her.Elizabeth glared back and moved away.She sat on her bed and fiddled with her straw hat that was on her sidetable.She finnaly heared her parents stop fighting and walked downstairs slowly.She saw her mother hunched over and her father nowhere to be seen.Elizabeth was quiet enough that her mother didn't hear her.Elizabeth grabbed her cloak and went outside.She shivered."Cold," she mummbled.Elizabeth saw Thomas and walked over to him."I'm sorry Thomas,you might become a solider.I was being a hot head," she said honestly.Thomas looked at the ground."I'm sorry also," he said quietly.

Elizabeth gave a small smile."My parents are fighting," she sighed.Thomas looked up at her intently."Oh really?" he said."Aye," Elizabeth said,watching a carrige pass by."Tis something to never forget," she added.Thomas nodded and spotted his father."I have to go,have a great day," he said and kissed her hand lightly.Elizabeth smiled at him and watched him run off.She eyed his breeches."I need a pair of those," she murmmered.She strolled along the street,not noticing a carrige barreling toward her."Move out of the way, missy!" a man yelled.Elizabeth looked up and jumped out of the way,landing on her arm.She winced but stood up.A crowed of people crowded around her."I'm fine,I'm fine!" she said loudly.The people whispered to each other.A young woman in a mob cap came forward and looked at her arm."Hello,I am Miss Lorely.I'm the new maid across the street," she said,pointing over to a huge white house with glorious windows that sone brightly in the dull gray day.Elizabeth looked at her."Tis an honor to meet you.I am Elizabeth Hutchan," she said with a grateful smile.

Miss Lorely smiled."So,if you need anything,I'm right across the street.I don't think the family I'm going to be working for will mind," the yound woman said slowly and dissapeared into the crowed.Elizabeth shook her head and clucked her tounge.The crowd broke away slowly and Elizabeth was safe to go inside.She walked in and saw her mother with her arms crossed."Being a rebel aren't we?Go up to your room now!" Mrs.Hutchan said sternly."Mum,you don't understand.You never do!" Elizabeth said quietly.She ran upstairs.Rose sighed and walked into the study and began to dust.Mrs.Hutchan walked into the kitchen and sighed.She pinned up her hair again and put her mob cap over.Elizabeth sat on her bed and pulled on her nightgown.She snuggled under her covers and tried to sleep.Tommorow night was the ball and her mother was cross with her."I had better go to the ball tommorow,I can't miss it!" Elizabeth whispered to herself.Elizabeth closed her eyes and pictured her at the ball,dancing with Thomas.Elizabeth felt a warm feeling shoot through her.She smiled and fell asleep.

The next evening,Elizabeth was fitting into her ball gown.Her mother was helping her,but not talking.Elizabeth was quiet also.She wasn't sorry about what she said.She felt her mother pull the corset tighter.Elizabeth took some deep breaths.Her mother helped with her hair and scrubbed her face untill her nose was shiney.Elizabeth looked at herself in the mirror and sighed."I don't look like me," she thought.Her mother handed her her cloak and told her an escort would drive her to the ball.Elizabeth thanked her and left.She climbed into the carrige out front and waved to her mother.Elizabeth hadn't seen her father at all since last night.She was getting a little worried.She forgot about it as soon as they arrived.She gasped."How lovely!" she murmmered.The escort helped her down and Elizabeth wrapped the cloak around herself tighter.She walked in and saw people laughing and dancing.Elizabeth grinned."How lovely," she said again.She felt like she was in a dream.She left her cloak on a chair and looked for her friends.She didn't see them and sighed.

Elizabeth felt somebody take her hand and pull onto the dance floor.She looked up and saw a young man she hadn't seen him before."Hello,I am Elizabeth and who may I say are you?" she asked politely."I am Harry Yordly," he said.Elizabeth looked at him."You look familiar,have we met?" she asked curiously.He shrugged."I don't know," he said.Elizabeth nodded.After they were done dancing,he dissapeared and she spotted Thomas and Rebecca just coming in.She rushed over to them and excused herself and Rebecca."I met this guy named Harry Yordly," Elizabeth said with a smile."The Harry Yordly?!" Rebecca said excitedly.Elizabeth nodded."Why?" she asked."He's a lord,Beth,you should pay attention more," she scolded.Elizabeth stared at her."Excuse me?A lord?My my!" she whispered.Rebecca shook her head."Do you think you're old enough to court?" she asked.Elizabeth sighed."No and I don't want to think about it for a long while," Elizabeth whispered.Thomas over heard them and joined in."Courting?Twas who's idea was to bring that up?" he asked.Elizabeth and Rebecca both pointed at each other and then started giggling.Thomas nodded."Aye,confusing as it is." he shook his head.

Elizabeth smiled."Tis almost time for me to go," she said.Rebecca nodded and walked off,leaving Thomas and Elizabeth standing there.Elizabeth twirled her brown hair nervously around her finger.Thomas fiddled with his hat."So.." she said slowly.Thomas looked up,clearly as nervous as she was.Elizabeth laughed.Thomas gave a relived smile and took her hand.He led her onto the dance floor and she smiled.He twirled her and Elizabeth was as graceful as possible.Then,more people came and began doing the Virginia Reel,and Elizabeth and Thomas joined them.After they were done,Elizabeth's face was red from laughing and having fun.Thomas laughed with her and they walked outside.She put her arm on his,letting him escort her to her carrige."I had a fun time.'Twas the best time I had in a while," she said with a smile.Thomas bowed,kissed her hand lightly and walked off.Elizabeth watched him go and allowed the escort to help her into the carrige.When she got back home,she walked to her room in a happy daze.She didn't notice that her father still wasn't there.

I'm not going to publish it,I'm 13 for lord sake.Geez. That matters why? There are teenagers that publish books. It's not like there's a law that says you have to be over a certain age to publish a book.
