Royal Preparatory Academy, where Princess and Princes learn how to be the best in all that they do and can be, how to rule over others, how to have the perfect poise, walk and talk with grace, dignity and-

"ZANDAR! GIVE ME BACK MY WAND!" Shouted Princess Hildegard of Freezenburg

"Come get in then" replied the prince of Tangu while doing a strange dance on the table.

"JAMES I'M WARNING YOU, I WILL TURN YOU INTO A TOAD IF YOU DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE"

Prince James of Enchancia continued to poke Princess Cleo with his wand grinning cheekily.

"Amber, stop making tiaras, please" Prince Desmond begged as Princess Amber of Enchancia (Twin of James) continued to make apples into gold tiaras.

Princess Sofia tapped impatiently on the floor. She tried to share an exasperated look with her best friend, Prince Hugo, only to see him arguing with Princess Maya about the best way to a frog into a rabbit.

"Seriously when Miss Flora said she was leaving for a few minutes, i thought she meant a few minutes" Sofia complained to Princess Vivian.

"Well you know what teachers are like," Princess Vivian replied watching the mess before them. Cleo had had enough of James poking her and hexed him into a frog. Hildegard resorted to physical assault on Zandar when she got tired of begging for her wand. Zandar didn't stand a chance but that didn't stop him from trying anyway. This show was so interesting Amber finally stopped making tiaras (much to Desmond's relief) and watched in amusement. In his frog form, James attempted to defend his best friend, by hopping onto Hildegard's arm. Worst idea ever, but then again that's what James and Zandar do. Hildegard screamed with fear and scurried off Zandar.

"AHH! It's a frog! Kill it now!." She screamed pointing her wand at the frog.

Cleo then got worried and shouted " No, Hildy. That's James!"

Amber burst in laughter when she heard this. The room turned silent as they all turned to frog James. Even in his frog form, you could see his eyes narrowing.

Sofia slunk down in her seat "Oh no,"

Amber continued to tease her twin "Oh what's wrong brother, can't seem to find your voice?" The two siblings were now circling each other. "Don't worry guys, I'm sure James is just waiting for a nice, pretty princess to give him a good pleasant kiss especially Cle- AHHH!"

James had leapt onto her hair and started trying tearing it out. Zandar cheered James on still pinned down by Hildegard and Cleo ran over to help Amber- only to start squealing when she got too close. Sofia sighed. She felt someone tap her shoulder and turned to see it was Hugo.

She mouthed at him "That's my family,"

He smiled at her and mouthed back " It's a shame isn't,"

Sofia glared at him. He shrugged back.

At that moment, Miss Flora came back and stopped in her tracks when she saw the scene. Princess Amber was wailing and waving her arms while a frog that quite resembled Prince James. Princess Cleo was trying to calm Amber down from a safe distance away. Close by, Prince Zandar was being held down by Princess Hildegard.

These are really going to be the next rulers of the kingdom?, thought Miss Flora

"What is going on in here," she said out loud. The room went silent. "Fine, don't tell me. Detention" the class groaned "That's what happens when you don't behave now go take your seats" everyone who wasn't sitting went to go sit down... except James who hopped off Amber's head and hopped to Miss Flora. He looked up at Miss Flora expectantly.

"So who did this to... Prince James, I presume?" Miss Flora sighed. Everyone turned to Cleo as she slowly put her hands up.

"Well come up, my dear"

Cleo followed her orders and went to where her teacher was standing.

"Yes, Miss Flora,"

"Now kiss him'"

The entire class gasped. Hildegard and Amber giggled to each other.

"Miss Flora, please, I can't"

"And why can't you?"

Cleo looked around for help. Everyone looked down.

"Well miss, I can't because... I am courting someone," Cleo lied. Hildegard and Amber looked at each other in confusion. Miss Flora stood up straighter.

"You-you are?" a shocked Miss Flora said. "Well, I guess I'll turn him back,"

With a flick of her wrist, purple magic swirled around James until he was human again. He stood up straighter and stared at Cleo.

"You're... courting someone?" He asked with hurt in his eyes. Cleo really wanted to say no but she couldn't. Not with Miss Flora watching. She nodded her head. James walked out of the classroom. Zandar stood up from his seat, glared at Cleo and followed James out of the classroom.

"Poor James, everyone knows he likes Cleo," whispered Hugo.

"Well, now we've got another issue. James will do anything to make Cleo jealous, who knows what he'll do," Sofia worriedly said. "You'll help me if anything happens, won't you? I trust you a lot, Hugo,"

Hugo fought down his blush. He had a crush on Sofia ever since they both danced on the ice rink together when they were 9. "Of course I'll help you Sofia you're my best friend," They stared into each other's eyes unaware of the fact all the girls were cooing at the cuteness being displayed. The moment was ruined when the bell rung.

"Class dismissed," Miss Flora said tiredly. Amber, Hildegard, Maya Sofia, Cleo, Jun and Vivian all walked out of the class together and walked down the corridor as people stared in wonder at them. They were stopped by Zandar who was pulling a sulking James with him. He had made a comment that had made Hildegard blush down to her throat.

"Just so you know, Hildy, I prefer to be on top. But I love it when my girls play the dominant one,"

The girls' jaws dropped open and James finally smiled and high fived Zandar. Both boys then ran away.

"OMG, I can't believe he said that," Amber said as they continued their way to the cafeteria.

"Maybe he'll ask you to Maya's ball" cheered Jun. Hildegard didn't say anything but she smiled as she and the girls sat down at the table.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cafeteria, the boys were trying to cheer up James.

"Come on James," Desmond said "There are loads of girls who would love to court you,"

"Yeah, you could try making Cleo jealous," Prince Khalid said.

"Hugo what do you think," asked James turning around only to see Hugo staring at his little sister, Sofia. James slapped Hugo. "Stop staring. She's off limits"

Hugo stared at him weirdly. Then rolled his eyes, " I wasn't looking at her anyway,"

"Sure and me and Hildegard don't have a thing going on," Zandar said sarcastically. Everyone turned to him "what it'll happen. Once she confesses her everlasting love for me!"

"James, you should ask Princess Bella to Maya's ball," said Prince Jin. The boys turned to him in shock.

"Um, Jin remember the girls hate her. Even Sofia and Vivian hate her," a shocked Hugo invited.

"And she was specifically put on the no invite list for my sister's ball," added Khalid.

"Exactly. Cleo hates her so she'll be incredibly jealous. And Bella could be James's plus 1,"

"Jin, you evil mastermind, James go do it now there she is," Zandar exclaimed, "Come on, boys lets go get the girls to watch,"

The girls stopped talking once they saw the boys walking over.

"And just what do you guys want?" Maya asked. "We were in the middle of matchmaking our favourite couples,"

"Just look over there and watch the show," Prince Zandar said as he settled down on Hildegard's lap. The girls watched as James made his way over to the princess they all hated so much. They watched as he held her hand and asked her question. She nodded and James walked towards the girls' direction in triumph.

"She said yes guys. She's coming with me to the ball,"

Cleo got up and ran away from the table leaving her lunch behind.

"What is she getting upset for I thought she was courting someone," said Hugo. All the girls groaned and Sofia slapped Hugo round the head.

"Did it ever occur to you that she said that so she wouldn't have to kiss James in front of the entire class. James, she likes you a lot and she wanted to tell you her feelings privately. Now you've gone and asked the evil bitch we hate to go to the ball with you," Vivian of all people angrily said. The boys were shocked to hear her swear like that.

"And don't think that evil little skank is getting into my party," added Maya. Khalid was surprised to hear his sister use language like that.

"Sis, do I have to go wash your mouth with soap," joked Prince Khalid trying to ease the tension. But the mood was already set. The princes on James side and The Princesses on Cleo's side. They all started arguing

"Well, it's not James fault. She should have told us that it was fake," argued Prince Desmond.

"Shut up, Desmond," was Amber's reply.

"You know what," Sofia shouted, " All of you shut up" She pointed at the boys "You guys barely talk to us anymore. You've even stopped sitting with us. You talk to us when you want to piss us off. Girls, we don't need to deal with this. I say we find princes that really care," The Princesses got up and started to walk away.

"Whatever, we couldn't care less," yelled Prince Hugo.

"Yeah, You guys are ugly anyway, especially you Hildegard," shouted Zandar. Hildegard stiffened when she heard this and ran off crying. The girls gave Zandar the dirtiest looks they could muster and then split up to find Cleo and Hildegard.

"Well, that went wrong, didn't it.", James stated.

"Well, I couldn't care less. I'm going to ask that village girl Jade to the ball. You know she hate Sofia and her group after that little spat they had,"

"Yeah, it got worse when Ruby was invited to Maya's ball and she wasn't," replied James. At this Prince Khalid sighed.

"What's wrong Khalid," Desmond asked worried for his friend.

"It's just that," he started, " I was planning on asking ruby to dance with me at the ball. But I won't even be able to get near her now, with all the princesses surrounding her,"

Hugo patted his back, " Well now that Sofia won't come with me to the ball I'm going to ask your sister, Leena instead, Okay? Okay,"

Khalid glared at him and barely heard James saying, "See he just goes for everyone's sister, doesn't he. Watch out Jin, your sister might be next,"
