Princess sat on her bed and opened her laptop.
"Deep breath, kid," she told herself as she opened up Facebook.
Things were changing for the billionaire heiress. Her dads (yes, she has TWO dads) just moved the family from cosmopolitan Peach City, to sleepy Peach Creek. She was going to start high school in a two weeks. Her twin brothers were out for the day at Peach Creek High's mandatory "two a days" football camp. She had just gotten home from PCH's dance team practice. Her cousin, Andrea, was the dance team captain and convinced the dance team sponsor and coach to let her try out. She made the squad no problem. Dance classes from the time she was 3 helped.
But she knew the suburbs would be different. Her time in public and private schools in the city gave her book and street smarts. But the suburbs were an entirely different animal. And she didn't feel entirely prepared. She left no friends behind in Peach City. Making friends was hard for her. Being the richest girl around left her open to leeches and mean girls. She just made it a point to be civil in school and cordial in her etiquette and dance classes and competitive on every field of play she stepped on. She missed her boys. Batman, Superman and Boy Wonder is what she called them. They rescued her, challenged her and set her world on fire.
As she scrolled down her timeline, she distantly remembered Batman and Boy Wonder calling Peach Creek home. So she did a search and there they were: Kevin Barr and Eddward 'Double D' Vincent, respectively. School: Peach Creek High. Kevin was a sophomore, but Edd would be a freshman like her. Oddly, to her anyways, they weren't Facebook friends, although they had a few mutual friends.
"Hmmm, what's THAT about?," she thought as she sent them both friend requests
She knew both boys well. As far as she was concerned, they'd make good friends. Boyfriends, even. She giggled at that thought. Both boys were lookers. Kevin was cut out of the All American Boy mold. Six feet of hubba hubba. Red hair, green eyes, freckles, tanned and toned. God, he was swoon worthy. And swoon she did. But not much. She knew better to get caught up the the Hype Train that was Kevin Barr. Kevin had a secret. And she was good at keeping secrets. She had her fair share. But she learned not to share. Not everyone is worthy of knowing who you are.
Edd held the almost the same secret as Kevin. And a few more. At 5'7, he was a tiny bean pole compared to Kevin. Pale, scrawny and legit too smart for his own good sometimes. But he was always willing to learn. Big blue eyes yearned to take in all the information he could. Raven locks stayed concealed under his trademark black with two white stripes beanie. A gap toothed smile even braces couldn't fix. But when he smiled, really smiled, her world would stand still. Damn, he was cute. He wanted to learn all he could about the world, but held so much inside. Princess knew what was underneath that hat. All she wanted was to take it off and reveal who Edd really was to the world: a beautiful, beautiful boy (my apologies to John Lennon).
She then did what she came to do: Change her "Current City" status. From Peach City to Peach Creek. She closed out the window and closed her laptop. She settled into her pile of pillows and closed her eyes. She made plans. She had kept promises and had promises to keep. But first, a nap.
