"Don't mind the prince, but he's right in that you can't call me negie since I don't really like being addressed as such," I said with a grin. "Do you want to see another movie?""Are you sure you're not going to follow the prince?"I shook my head. "He wants some alone time.""All right." He flashed a smile. "Hmmm... let's watch..."We're now viewing the second film that Walden chose for us. When the main character mentions the name Marcos, the image of Marcos immediately springs to mind. Marcos said that he would remain for a few days; he was in the Philippines but did not seem to be there due to his constant busyness. We can't even talk with one another since every time I return home to the palace, I always find him sleeping, and every time I wake up, he has already left."Gemma, it's not like we're children anymore. There are certain things I need to prioritize, and there are other things I just cannot give up."He's right; he's not the same guy I used to be able to see whenever I
As soon as I awoke, I quickly went to Marcos in the guest room, where he was staying at the time. He did not respond to my first knock, and at my second knock, I noticed the doorknob was not locked. When I reached for the doorknob, someone grabbed my arm behind me without warning. "He's already gone, Gemma." Prince Augustus said. "Chasen left before sunrise, he doesn't want to bother you, so he left without you knowing." I chose not to listen to him and insisted on opening the door, only to discover that it was empty. He's right, Marcos left without even telling me. How come he didn't inform me last night that he was going back? Even though I can't let you go again, I still want to say goodbye... I have a lot more to say before your flight, so why did you leave without even seeing me? "Are you disappointed that he didn't say goodbye?". Prince Augustus asked. I responded by lowering my gaze, but the prince lifted my chin to show me what he was holding in his hands. When I looked at
The actual football game between the several schools has already begun. Occasionally, our school would go to another school, and other times it would be them who would travel to the Borstal. Because of Prince Augustus, Borstal always comes out on top. Hilliard entered the final number one in rank. Borstal was just one victory away from qualifying, and their last opponent was Amarillo, which used to be my school.In the past, I thought I would never come back to Amarillo, but because of that game, it looks like it might happen. I was anxious about myself, particularly since I had served as their student president before.We had already pulled up in front of Amarillo and had been waiting for one of the Prince’s royal guards to unlock the door and let him step out of the vehicle. I took a big breath and continued. No way in hell I am not going to be recognized by these people, no matter how hard I try to avoid their gaze."Let us go, Prince Augustus," Walden said."Hold on a second."My g
In preparing for the last game, Prince was relentless. Although he was exhausted, he would step into the field as if everything had vanished. Every time he kicks the ball, it seems to be on fire, in contrast to his prior kicks. It was almost as if he had found a new source of strength.The day of the last game, which was held on the Hilliard field, had finally arrived. It includes almost all of Borstal’s students, resulting in Hilliard’s school being filled."Borstal will win the last game. Wishing you success, Prince Augustus!" I lowered my head.He smiled as he caressed the back of my head. "Thank you, stupid negie."I can’t keep a smile off my face till I get out of the locker room. Until I didn't notice that I was being dragged into a room."Deacon?" I let out a yell.With his palm, Deacon covered my lips. "Gemma, could we just chat for a minute?" He asked."We’re having a conversation already," I said."All right," he said with a sigh before speaking again. "As for what I did, I’m
Silents and awkwardness surround the vehicle. Whenever he stares at me, I try to avoid him, and he tries the same thing.As soon as I arrived at the palace, I walked straight to my room. I let out a sigh. "How could this happen?" I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. Why? It’s as though I’m floating in the air right now.I grinned. "Congratulations, Prince! You did it!" In an instant, his lips were pressed against mine, and I started to tickle my body. My heart has begun thumping like crazy."Thanks to you, I won." He cracked a grin.After he kissed me, he descended to the ground once again. I was stunned by what he did. I couldn’t even open my mouth in shock.As I recall what occurred, I see myself smiling as I touch my lips. I can’t believe he kissed me on the lips. A kiss was stolen from me by the Prince."And the last rule is that you should never fall in love with him." Then I understood what I’d done was wrong. I don’t want to flout one of the king’s rules."Of all the rules
Prince Augustus reverted to his old behavior. He became cold, ill-tempered, sullen, and increasingly worse as time went on. Moreover, he hurt and offended me. But that’s nothing compared to the agony he’s going through right now, which is more than double what I’m going through right now, so I guess I deserve it.And about the kiss, it did spread throughout the school, especially among the teachers. The kids didn’t talk about it while I was around, but their looks seemed to criticize me, anyway. And, exactly as I suspected, the photo of me and the prince kissing was plastered all over the Borstal website. As soon as I see the image, I get a pang of fear in my stomach, fear of what Raeanna may think of me if she saw it."When I think back to after the last game, I feel a strange sense of déjà vu.""I agree; every time I see the image, I can’t help but feel upset.""If I’m right, Raeanna treats Gemma as if she were her closest friend. She put her trust in the wrong person, and she betray
Mr. Osiris walked into my room with three boxes and three dresses. He placed each of these items on my bed, one by one."What is it for, Mr. Osiris?" I asked."This was requested by Prince Augustus, and I am delivering it to you. He said you’d accompany him tomorrow." He explained."Where?""You’ll find out tomorrow." He replied.As soon as Mr. Osiris closed the door, I turned to look at the outfits. The three gowns he purchased were all peach, which made me giggle. Then I opened the boxes containing heels, which, like the dress, were all brown and matched the peach hue perfectly."He has a strange way of selecting outfits for girls," I said to myself.I put on all of the dresses and shoes to see which one was the most flattering for my body shape. I went with the peach flowers pocket floral dress and the lace-up shoes since they were plainer than the other options.Suddenly, I recalled something he said about peaches. This guy prefers the shade of peach because he believes it looks go
The tears continued to pour down, and I brushed them away, but the tears came anyway. My eyes had already turned red and swollen.As I went to the palace, a vehicle followed me; as I came to rest, the vehicle came to a halt as well. As soon as the driver lowered the window, I realized who was in the vehicle. It's Kuya Prince, I mean Prince Emmanuel, who was waving at me. When I saw his smile. That's when I fell to my knees crying out."Gemma!" Prince Emmanuel jumped out of the vehicle and approached me as swiftly as possible. "Stop weeping, please." He helped me get to my feet and into the vehicle.Prince Emmanuel drove the vehicle away, he let me cry for a minute, but when I still didn't stop, the prince sought a means to stop me."I missed you, Kuya; I waited much too long.""Gemma," He ran his finger through my hair to soothe the wordless sorrow that was raging inside my heart. "I sincerely apologize for leaving you alone.""I-I hurt him by refusing to love him back." I burst into t
