Royal Empire University THIRTEEN: Drawing Danielle
DANIEL'S POV I stood at the private tennis court of my dorm with my racquet in hand. My friends and I were playing tennis ball with two against two. Roe and I on the left side of the court and Jay and another guy 'Rino' on the other. I stopped playing as my head was spinning uncontrollably and all I could hear was;'And are you perfect Mister?''Are you perfect Mister?''Perfect..?'I couldn't get the girl off my mind since my previous encounter with her yesterday. Even when I went to Roe's I wasn't me, all I could think of was who she was and why my heart thumped incredulously when I saw her face. Or why her eyes and glare seems so familiar? Who is she? And why was her presence having such influence on me? I mean, I never cared about girls since Goldie left me and I believed all girls are heartbreakers and evil, except of course my Mom and sisters, Jay's Mom and sister. They were the only females I've cared about so far after my break-up. So how is it that she seems to be breaking t
Royal Empire University FOURTEEN: Her identity
DANIEL'S POV"Earlier, I asked Mark to run an investigation on her. This brown pack here contains answers to probably all my questions." I said and Roe leaned closer."What could it probably contain that Jay and I don't already know?" He asked, looking at Mark."There's more to the fact that she's a dancer." Mark said."A dancer? What sort of dancer? Wait! She's the celebrity dancer Jay's been crushing on? The Dazzling Stars dancers?" I asked skeptically as I stared at them."Yes, she's a celebrity dancer and the leader of the Dazzling Stars Dancers and No she isn't the dancer Jay's interested in." Roe explained while Jay raised a brow."Interested in? Seriously guys?" He asked unbelievably. "Who said I'm having a crush on her? I...I jus...just admire her." He added with a little bit of uncertainty. Roe rolled his eyes away. And me, I just stared at him. He never admits to the fact that's he's interested in her.Jay's scared!He's not even aware of what's happening to him. For all I k
Royal Empire University FIFTEEN: Girls weekend
CILIA'S POV "Hey! Lia! Get that camera outta my face. I haven't washed yet!" Tania shouted. I laughed but still continued videoing. She's doing her 'every' morning exercise. Presently, she's doing the 'candle pose' Yoga excercise'. If she doesn't do her exercise a day she'll probably go insane. Speaking of insane, who wakes up and does life videos every weekend after morning prayers? I'm crazy right? I know...I laughed at Tania's frowning face before plodding off to the kitchen to meet Elle."Yummy...something smells delicious." I said sniffing in air in other to grasp the tantalizing aroma I was percieving. I walked into the kitchen only to find Elle humming along to whatever song it was that's booming from her headphone as she cooked. She's even dancing weirdly too. I was still videoing all along. "Hey people that's Diva over there and she's preparing...What did she call it again?" I bit my lip thoughtfully. "Ah yes, she's preparing Nigerian Jollof rice for lunch. This will ac
Royal Empire University SIXTEEN: Music Hall
DANIELLE'S POV I walked swiftly towards the washing machine, my hair held up in a messy bun. I was wearing a big round-neck top over denim shorts.It's a Saturday_the day we do all our laundries, and clean up the apartment. Normally it's our room janitor that's supposed to be doing that but we sent her away. Although she begged to at least be coming on Mondays to clean up for us since we are always busy on such days. After much thought, we reluctantly agreed.Why did we send her away? Well, we love doing our stuffs ourselves. Cilia just finished cleaning the room and was heading to the kitchen to clean it up, Tania was taking care of the restroom and myself? I just finished doing the laundry. I picked up the basket of now clean clothes that I'd already folded neatly. I walked back to the room with the clothes and settled to fixing them in the closet. My phone rang, the one I used in communicating with close fans. Who could it be? I thought.Walking to the my reading table where I
Royal Empire University SEVENTEEN: Memories
DANIELLE'S POV I smiled at her as she plopped happily on the car seat, eating with ectascy from the ice cream cup I just got her at the ice cream shop. As soon as she was settled in her seat, I help her fix on her seat belt, and started the ride to our dance studio which was also within the campus. It's the fifth place we'll be visiting today.Earlier Alexis had squealed in excitement when she saw my black Ferrari latest model. She was super excited when she learned that we would be riding it to wherever I was taking her, that she ran around the car jumping and laughing happily, much to the amazement of the girls. Cilia found her cute and funny, she immediately fell in love with her due to her charisma. Tania couldn't agree less that she's a beautiful and very enthusiastic kid, with the most mesmerizing smile ever. Her smile was the cutest baby smile I'd ever seen, one that captivates my heart each time I see it. Although it's the second time I would be seeing her, yet it feels like
Royal Empire University EIGHTEEN: Escalator Encounter
DANIELLE'S POVWe stepped on the escalator leading to the department stores which was at the second floor. When we arrived at the mall earlier, I first took her to the food stores at the first floor. She was very excited to see many different types of foods and had found it a little difficult in making her choices. I brought her to DS SHOPPING MALL, the biggest in Sacramento. I was holding her hand as she seriously budged me with questions. "Tell me Diva, why did the employees at the food stores greet you with so much respect and humility? Is it because you are a very popular dancer? No! That couldn't be the reason. Since we stepped in DIVA SCOTTS SHOPPING MALL every single employee had bowed in greeting to you. They greeted you like you were the owner of the Mall." I laughed as she continued in her dilemma. Yeah, that's the name of the shopping Mall, but it's popularly referred to as DS SHOPPING MALL. Alexis looked up at me with a gasp, seems like realization suddenly dawned on he
Royal Empire University NINETEEN: Crushing?
DANIELLE'S POVI pounded furiously on our dorm room door, waiting for either Tania or Lia to answer. They weren't answering.Oh, soundproof...In my anger and haste I'd forgotten we soundproofed our apartment to avoid noises and disturbances from some of our noisy and loud neighbors. I huffed angrily and rang the doorbell. How dare Daniel Roberts walk out rudely on me? Why was he restraining himself from conversing with me? Why did he even have to be my soulmate? Why does he have to be so cold? Just so many whys!!!!Just when I thought something nice was going to work out between us instead of our usual eye battle, he walked out on me without another stare and without another word. How dare he!I rang the bell furiously again. Why aren't this girls answering? I'm surely gonna make them kiss their ass when I finally get in. My mind went back to when Daniel folded his lips and walked to me, that was when I realized the guy was dimpled. Cute deep dimples at either side of his cheeks.
Royal Empire University TWENTY: Jordan?
JAY'S POV NIGHT, STILL SATURDAY.I lay on my comfy bed in the dorm room while searching out the celebrity dancer 'Saline' with my phone on Google. If I was gonna chase her, I've gotta know about her background.Let's see what Google has to say about her asides the fact that she's a celebrity dancer. But I'm scared...I'm scared of the kinda feelings I get whenever I see her, be it in physical meeting or on social media...I tapped on search tab and typed in the details and waited for it to load. My eyes wandered over to my friends, Roe sat by his reading table, typing away on his laptop, I think he's reading. He's always been the most serious student amongst us and the only one in the science department. Dan and I chose to study business administration, not like we need it anyway but just for schooling sake. Well, Dan probably needs it_his father's idea because of his chains of business industries. Back to Roe, this guy seriously loves science he studies closely six hours a day, tw

Royal Empire University Eighty-Three: Rescuing Ariel
#NEXT MORNING ALEXIS'S POV I peeled my eyes open slowly and frowned upon seeing my environment and situation. My eyes widened more when I recalled what happened. I sat up quickly and looked around the unpleasant old looking warehouse. Goons stood around watching me strictly.I became scared upon realizing that I've been kidnapped. Oh no! I lost Candy's gift bracelet. I said within me on looking at my wrist and not finding the rainbow colored, leather bracelet she gifted me on our parting.Wait! Why am I here anyway? Why would someone kidnap me within the vicinity of my school? Everyone must be scared right now; Hector, Aunt Hanna, Diva and the DSD girls, including those handsome idols.It's a pity I didn't get to see Diva's surprise. I'm scared...Oh don't be scared Alexis, Diva would come to rescue you. She's your angel remember?I looked down at my other wrist and smiled secretly. The bracelet I promised never to takeoff was still there. Oops! But I lost Candy's
Royal Empire University Eighty-Two: Searching for Alexis
NARRATIVECarl stared at his laptop in confusion, as he watched the goons carried the unconcious looking girl out of the black jeep and into the already ready orange coloured chopper. Seems they were too late. Of course, he did successfully tracked down the vehicle but what's the point of sending the guards after them when the chopper is already taking off into the sky? Leaving behind the empty vehicle.Several maids and workers stood around in worry as they whispered to themselves.Ahh, Mrs Hannah is present too. She ran over immediately Alexis's school notified her of the child's abduction.Carl looked backwards at the perplexed Jay and Kim Lisa for suggestion.Jay was walking up and down the living room as he made a call, his hand raking his blonde hair at intervals. Kim fondle her nails as she looked down at the laptop."What do you think we should do? We can't possibly send guards over there, the chopper took off already." He said as he looked at her."That's right, I'll call th
Royal Empire University Eighty-One: Finding Danielle.
CILIA'S POVWhat does Kim mean by Alexis not being at home?I quickly took out my phone and began dialing Antonio's number, while casting my eyes out the car window at Jay.He was just stepping out of the ice cream shop, his right hand was holding the ice cream bag and his other was holding his phone to his ear. Seems like he's on a call...I returned my attention to the call, the phone's been ringing for a while now but he ain't picking up...Panick already set in as I placed a call again, it rang and just when I thought no one's gonna answer, it connected."Where have you been Antonio? I've been calling for ages?!" I yelled."I'm sorry Ma'am but this ain't the guard speaking. This is the vice principal of Haley's Comprehensive school..." A lady's voice said."What?! Where's he?""They were found lying unconscious at the lavatory and are presently receiving instant treatment at the school's clinic. We are deeply sorry for such inconvenience." She said and I panicked more as I felt a

LUCIA'S POV "Thanks so much for your time Professor Adams." I said smilingly as I made my way out of his cozy office."Anytime Queen Lucy." He smiled and I waved and walked out.As I took the elevator back to the last floor, I smiled as I stared at her personal contact in my phone. With this I know she'll forgive me totally, Diva's so broad hearted.Oh my gosh! I should hurry before that silly girl does something I'm very sure she'll regret.The door opened and I made my way quickly to the car park. Typing away on my phone... DANIELLE'S POVI nod my head as I hummed along to the classical music playing on my car stereo.I was heading back home after buying the gorgeous white poodle for Alexis. I can't wait to see the smile on her face when she sees it. The thought of that is making me smile already as I look sideways at the adorable little poodle beside me.The girls are still in school I think and Alexis should be home already, it's few minutes past her closing hours.As I sang a
Royal Empire University Seventy-Nine: Alexis, kidnapped
ELINA'S POVI entered my car and the guard closed the door after me. I touched my cheek in disbelief, Lucia slapped me! Well I pushed her too far by talking about her mom in that regard but she caused it.What am I missing? When did she suddenly changed? Something doesn't feel right. When I mentioned her getting back at Diva for taking her fame, crush and friend she didn't seem concerned about it. But up till last month, she was still notorious as ever. She had even hired goons to beat up a medical student who had made a mocking meme of her, till he was hospitalized. So why's she acting differently now, I thought she would be excited like she used to be? Did she change?I sighed and brought out my phone and began to surf their student website for any updates about her. I've been so busy these few weeks that I've been off the internet.I came upon several headlines and I was beyond shocked.CAMPUS QUEEN APOLOGIZES TO ALL STUDENTS REMORSEFULLY THROUGH CAMPUS RADIOQUEEN LUCIA SUDDENLY W
Royal Empire University Seventy-eight: Meeting an ex-bestfriend. Alexis in danger
LUCIA'S POV I walked into Balmont's cafe and saw her already seated there. I stride over to her and sat down. The only reason I'm here is because of the fact that she'd mentioned Diva's name. Johnny also said to come and see what she's up to."Oh you are here." She smiled while I just stared at her."Why's this place quiet and devoid of customers?" I asked, as I scanned around. "I bought it for a few minutes so I can have a quiet conversation with you. Don't worry, I also took care of the CCTV." She said and I couldn't help but scoff. Whatever she wants to say must be pretty illegal..."How long has it been? Nine years? It's really good to see you again Lucia. You look much more matured and way prettier than I last remembered." She said smilingly and I rolled my eyes away. She didn't change, still really slender with her mother's brunette hair although I noticed she dyed some part of it to blonde. Her dress style was like that of a total badass girl."Look Lucia, I'm really sorry f
Royal Empire University Seventy-Seven: Diva's ominous feeling
DANIELLE'S POVEveryone sat down for breakfast at the dinning table. We were all dressed up as it's a Monday and we all have classes. I settled for toasted bread and milk, Alexis was having cereals, Lia and Kim were having noodles and Tania settled for pancakes with a glass of orange juice. We ate in silence, while I kept my eyes on Tania's waterfall braid, it really looks pretty on her. Carl would be returning to South Korea soon, he told me in our chat yesternight."Are we practicing today girls?" Kim suddenly asked, looking up at me in particular. "We didn't practice for some time now due to Lia's birthday and Jay's concert. So I guess we should." I said shruggingly. They all nodded approvingly and continued eating. I smiled and looked at Alex beside me, she just dropped her spoon."Thanks everyone. I'll head for school now." She said smilingly."Okay Alex, do take care alright?" The girls said and she nodded.I stared silently at her for a while wondering about this ominous feel
