If  shock  had  another  word  to  describe  how  the  students  felt  when  they  saw  the  crown  prince  of  Mercia  giving  plain  Jane  Jean  Anna  Lowan  a  piggy  back  ride  to  God  knows  where  and  she  had  a  smug  smile  on  her  face  then  that  word  should  be  used.

Quietly  they  followed  behind  him  till  he  got  to  the  infirmary  and  they  stopped  to  watch  as  he  pushed  open  the  doors  and  went  in  then  they  started  muttering  among  themselves.

“That  was  Jean  Anna  Lowan  alright.” A  girl  said.

“I  wonder  what  the  hell  happened.” Another  huffed.

“Happy  now?”. Andrei  bit  out.  The  doctor  had  checked  on  her  ankle  and  said  it  was  just  a  sprain  and  nothing  too  serious.

“Not  quite.”  She  glowered  at  him. “I’m hungry.”

“So?”. He  asked, uninterested.

Anna  let  out  an  exasperated  sigh. “If  you’d  not  bumped  into  me...Your Highness, I  was  about  to  go  get  my  lunch.”  Anna  informed  him  slowly  as  if  she  were  talking  to  a  child. “Potato  chips  and  yoghurt.”

“Oh...no  wonder  you  look  like  a  stick.” He  mocked  her.

“It’s  called  watching  my  weight  idiot! you’d  know  the  difference  between  someone  like  me  and  another  who  is  actually  malnourished  if  you  had  half  a  brain.” Anna  retorted.

Someone  gasped  in  horror  in  the  doorway  and  they  both  turned  to  look  at  the  person  but  it  was  only  Lucy.

“And  you  are?”. He  demanded  irritably.

“She’s  my  friend  Lucy.” Anna said.  “Come  here  Lu.” She  motioned  her  over.

Lucy  rushed  to  Anna’s  side  and  curtsied. “Morning  your  highness.”

“See? Your  friend  has  respect.  Something  you  definitely  lack  and  need  to  be  taught  toothpick.” Andrei  mocked  her.

“Please!”. She  snorted. “Like  you  would  know  respect  if  it  hits  you  in  the  face.  Haven’t  you  heard  that  respect  is  reciprocal?”. She  asked.

 “Now  go  and  get  me  my  lunch...Your  highness.” She  air  quoted “Your  highness”.

Andrei  bristled  with  anger  but  kept  it  in.  It  wasn’t  like  he  could  hit  her  for  insulting  him  right?.

“I’m  going  to  report  you  to  your  mother.” He  threatened.

“Go  ahead  cry  baby.  I’m  very  tired  so  please  leave  and  don’t  worry  about  my  lunch.  Who  knows, you  might  poison  it  on  your  way  here. I’d  rather  not  die  by  your  hand.” She  said.

“Well  that’d  be  nice  right? One  very  less  annoying  person  for  God  to  worry  about.” He  shot  back.

Anna  let  out  a  derisive  laugh. “Wow  Andrei  Sebastiani! I’m  so  impressed.”  She  clapped.  “So  you  do  go  to  church  eh?”.

Andrei  glared  at  her. “If  only  you  aren’t  a  girl...you  wouldn’t  be  able  to  talk  right  once  I’m  done  with  you.” He  growled.

“Good  thing  I’m  a  girl  huh? Now  leave.” She  pointed  to  the  door.

“You’ll  eat  your  words  back...you’ll  see.” He  promised  her  before  he  turned  and  stormed  out  of  the  room.

Anna  made  funny  faces  at  his  back  and  laughed.

“What  was  that  all  about?”. Lucy  inquired.  “I’m shocked  you’re  still  alive.  No  one  talks  to  the  crown  prince  in  that  manner  and  lives  to  tell  the  tale.”

“Please. He’s  a  jackass”. Anna  said, looking  disgusted.

“So...you’ve  finally  seen  him  huh?”. Lucy  grinned. “How  does  he  look? Handsome?”.

“I  hate  his  face.” Anna  told  her.  “And  everything  about  him.  I  know  I’m  not  supposed  to  hate  anyone  but  I  do.”

“no  you  don’t  sweetie.  He’s  gorgeous.” Her  subconscious  drawled.

“Everyone  is  saying  that  you  used  a  charm  on  him.” Lucy  said.  “I  waited  for  you  at  the  cafeteria  but  you  didn’t  show  up.”

“He  happened.  He  bumped  into  me  and  we  both  rolled  down  the  stairs.  I  hit  my  head  and  sprained  my  ankle  but  he  escaped  unhurt.” She  seethed.  “I  totally  loathe  him.”

“Can  I  get  you  anything?”. Lucy  asked.

“No. I’ve lost my appetite.” She  grumbled.

“We  didn’t  win.” Lucy  pouted.

“I  actually  won.” Anna  smiled.  “I  wasn’t  speechless.” She  felt  really  proud  of  herself  for  that.

“Right. So  I  owe  you..” Lucy  trailed  off  knowingly.

“Keep it. He’s  so  not  worth  it.”

Andrei  fumed  all  the  way  to  his  class  which  was  the  next  building  for  the  royals.  Who  did  she  think  she  is? What  an  insult  to  the  crown! She  was  totally  going  to  pay  for  that - that he  could  promise  her.

Underneath  all  the  anger  though, Andrei  was  amused  because  she  was  the  only  girl  he’d  come  across  that  didn’t  swoon  or  faint  at  the  sight  of  him.  

Much  worse,  she’d  called  him  names! Which  made  him  come  to  a  conclusion; Jean  Anna  Lowan  would  be  the  next  queen  bee  of  IHHS  and  he  was  going  to  make  that  happen  whether  she  liked  it  or  not.

Whatever  Andrei  Sebastiani wants; he  fucking  gets  and  he  wanted  Jean  Anna.

“Hey  Frederick”. He  called  his  bodyguard.

“Yes  sir?”. He  bowed  as  he  came  closer.

“I  want  all  the  info  you  can  get  on  Jean  Anna  Lowan.  What  she  likes, dislikes, hobbies  and  whatnot  by  tomorrow  evening.” He  ordered.

“Yes , Your  Highness.” Fred  said.

Andrei  waved  him  away.

“Wow...so  fast  Andrei?”.  Serafina  asked  from  behind  him. “It’s  not  even  been  a  week  and  you’re  already  chasing  after  another  girl.”

“This  is  the  second  week  and  counting.” He  informed  her  drily and smirked. “But..you  don’t  think  I’d  still  be  pining  after  you  right, Sera? You know  I’m  not  that  kind  of  person.  I  move  onto  the  next  one.”

“But...that  low  class  plain  Jane? Really?”. Sera  arched  an  eyebrow.

“That  plain  Jane will  be  better  than  you...that  I  can  assure  you  Sera.” He  sent  a  smirk.  “No  offense  intended.”

Sera  scoffed. “We  both  know  you  only  want  to  sleep  with  her. I  heard  she’s  still  a  virgin  and  hasn’t  even  had  her  first  kiss  yet.” Sera  said.

“Makes  it  more  interesting  then...don’t  you  think?.” He said. “I  never  imagined  that  you’d  be  interested  in  someone  else’s  life  Sera. You’ve  always  been  in  love  with  yourself.”

“Anyway.. good  luck  with  that  one. I  hear  she’s  a  hard  nut  to  crack.” Sera  ignored  his  last  comment.

Andrei  put  his  hand  on  his  heart  feigning  a  wounded  expression. “Are  you  underestimating  my  charming  abilities  Sera?”. He  gasped.

Sera laughed. “Me? I  dare  not.  I’m  just  saying  that  she’ll  teach  you  that  you  can’t  always  have  everything  you  want.  Infact  I’m  rooting  for  her.” She  smiled.

“Want  to  bet?. I’ll  ask  her  to  be  my  girlfriend  tomorrow  and  she’ll  say  yes.” He  said.

“Hmmn..”, Sera  paused  thoughtfully  with  her  finger  to  her  chin. “What  do  I  get  if  I  win?”.

“Two  million.” He  held  out  his  hand.

Sera’s  eyes  widened  in  shock  but  she  quickly  schooled  her  expression.

“You’re  so  on.” She  shook  his  hand.
