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
It's as if I'm dreaming, and I can't believe I'm dating the Crown Prince. For my uncertain love for the prince, I breached his majesty's lone rule. It felt as if I had battled hundreds of rebels unarmed, yet I feel no regret, even if it is not right from everyone's perspective. For us, it is odd, and beyond belief, love that cannot be explained. I was awakened by the bright light that shone directly into my eyes. My vision got a glimpse of a guy who was standing in front of me at the time. I believed I was still in the midst of a dream, but when I reached for his hand, it became clear that this was real. Until I heard my name reverberating in my head, "P-papa ..." When someone jerked me awake, I was fully conscious. "Are you awake?" Walden said, a disturbed expression on his face. I nodded. "Can you tell me how you got in?" I pushed myself out of bed. "Are you having a bad dream?" I gently move my head from side to side, as though I'm not sure if I'm having a nightmare or whether
The prince was too overwhelmed, and as a result, he opened the door to his private room for me out of the blue, which took me by surprise. I didn’t think the prince would do this. He was supposed to be cold-hearted, but he ended up liking me. "No, you said it to yourself. I’m not allowed in." I turned him down. "My mind has changed." I felt Prince Augustus take my hand as we slowly entered his private chamber. At first glance, I thought this was Lincoln’s art studio. His entire room is covered in hundreds of unique paintings, each of which possesses a classic beauty that one would not expect. My mind kept asking questions about how come I didn’t know he was into painting, and then I suddenly realized Sebastian was the prince. The Prince can do everything that is beyond the capabilities of regular people. Learning new things or possessing hundreds or thousands of talents is just a normal part of their lives. My drawing was nothing compared to his. I was so embarrassed that I attempt
Whenever I listen to Lincoln, I end up feeling guilty. There is a part of myself that I regret not knowing he likes me. And I keep thinking, What if... What if I ended up having feelings for him rather than the prince? If only he had confessed to me before the prince, my situation would not be as complicated as it is.I laughed at the idea. I'm certain the prince will loathe me if he hears what I've just thought.As I was making my way back to the prince's private room, I noticed that the prince had already made his way upstairs.I guess he didn't notice me. But when I think about it, it's like he came from his private room, which means that it's impossible for him to not see me coming back. Or maybe he's mad at me again because I went with Lincoln.He was angry again, just as I thought. When I walked into the room, Prince Augustus pretended not to notice me and let me just go on my way as though I had committed a terrible mistake. This is nothing new to me; I expect him to behave in t
