Royal Empire University Thirty Five: Strange suspicion. The new members
PENNY'S POV "...I'm telling you girls, I've never felt so ashamed of myself. His Mom was so nice unlike many others I've offended...well not literally, they're usually the ones to provoke me first just like Johnny Davis did, and when I saw him on that hospital bed, I kinda felt bad but I reminded myself that he was the cause of his pain. Oh Lord! I feel so disturbed about the presence of Jay's sister here but there's nothing I can do, my Dad is really angry with me right now and Jay already warned me..." Lucia went on blabbing.Honestly, I was shocked when I saw the news about Johnny's attack, I mean... I knew she was gonna retaliate for what he did but I never expected her to go to such length just to revenge on someone.I also felt terrible on what Jay said to Katie and I. It was like we were supporting her in doing evil.I've lost count of the number of times I'd talked to Lucia about her behaviours but she never listened. As stubborn as she is, Lucia feels that the only way to g

JADE'S POV I've been dialing Elle's line several times. Phone's ringing but she wasn't picking up. I've also sent her texts messages to which I've gotten no reply. What's happening? I paced to and fro the living room of my off campus apartment in anxiety.Why won't she pick her calls? It's evening already and I wanted to ask her on a date with me. I'd also wanted her to meet some of my friends, but she wasn't picking her calls.I understand she already asked me to give up on her as she don't have any romantic feelings for me, but how could I, when I know she isn't with anyone? Elle's single and have refused to date many guys I heard of that'd asked her out. But why? It's either she doesn't love any of them or she isn't ready for commitment. So why let her go when I might one day be given a chance. As much as I know of, I'm the most closest male friend she have here in Sacramento. Maybe I should call her again. I dialed her line and as usual, it rang but she didn't pick up. I guess I
Royal Empire University Thirty Seven: Giving him a chance
CILIA'S POVI watched him stood up from his seat and in few seconds, covered the distance between us. He drew out an empty chair and sat down facing me. I quickly paused my music and lowered my headphone."Can I have one of those?" He asked cutely looking at my ice cream cups. I nodded and pushed the other cup to him. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have parted with my ice cream."What are you doing here Jay? I didn't imagine you as someone who visits an ice cream shop." I asked when my voice returned to me. Jay was already scooping creams into his mouth. He looked so cute as he ate. I'm still trying to believe that this is reality. It's just so good to be true. However, I know it is."It's actually pleasing to know I'm in your imagination." He said flirtatiously."Can you be serious?" I muttered and he chuckled."I came here hoping to meet you after you left me without a word the other day, and I'm happy I did met you again." He said as a matter of fact. I dropped my spoon and lo

Royal Empire University Thirty Nine: Finally a couple
DANIELLE'S POVI smiled shyly as Dan kept his gaze on my face. He was looking at me with serious admiration and something similar to love dancing in his beautiful eyes. How am I supposed to explain this? How did this happen? I mean, what's the reason for Dan's change? Did he suddenly fall for me? The way he looks at me is the kind of look that one usually have when he suddenly finds his or her missing treasure. So what's the meaning of this? I suddenly remembered he asked me if we've met before, that day at the coffee shop. He probably feels same familiarity I felt with him the earlier days we first met. I looked away from his searching eyes and set my gaze on the beautiful fountain. Few minutes ago, when we finished watering the garden, we decided to settle here for a while."It's beautiful isn't it?" I asked with a smile. "What?" "The fountain fall," I said, looking back into his distracting eyes. "Yeah it is," He smiled. My eyes bored into his, searching out the emotions the

But he wasn't sitting alone, he was sitting and smiling with the wrong princess.This girls really have a way of accessing good things, first Saline and Jay, now Rosy and Roe. Maybe next it'll be Daniel and Diva.

The girls were inside and according to them, they've got bad news. I was just returning from the hospital thanks to father who didn't stop at his earlier punishment to me because of Johnny's case and the idols. 'You'll continue to visit Johnny Davis at that hospital thrice in a week till he recovers. It's your fault that he isn't writing his tests with the rest of his mates so do well to visit him till he recovers.' Dad had said. Today is the second time I'd be visiting him and thankfully he's always asleep.

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.

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.

"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
