Chapter One: The New Girl

"Princess Elizabeth! It is time for you to wake up and prepare for school!"

...

"Ms. Elizabeth! Can you hear me! I do believe it is time for you to awaken!"

...

"Princess!"

I jumped from the shout, nearly falling out of bed. 'Was someone yelling my name?' My eyes flashed open and I stared at my bedroom door to find one of my the housemaids, Evelyn, peeking her head into my bedroom. I then relaxed and sheepishly looked away. 'Oh great, I overslept once again.' "Do forgive me, Ms. Evelyn. I believe I was too wrapped up into my dreams."

Evelyn only laughed, entering my room and shutting the door behind her. "It's alright madame. I had to ensure that you would be up for this morning."

'What's so special about today?' "What's happening today?" I asked curiously and began to stretch. "Have you already forgotten?" Evelyn asked, pure shock on her face. I only shrugged and looked away once again. I was too embarrassed that I had forgotten today's schedule. Was it my Veronica's birthday? Wait no that had already passed...Maybe father was delivering an important speech to the city again?

"Oh dear. Princess, it's your first day of public school."

...

"Excuse me?" I squeaked. I whipped my head around to look at my calendar. I searched the numbers, looking for today's date. I then gasped as my eyes landed on the numbers with red circles drawn around it.

'My First Day of a Normal Highschool!' The words read underneath it.

Glancing at my clock, I took another gasp as the time read '7:30'. I needed to be in school by 8 and it took me hours to dress.

"Oh goodness! How could I forget!" I yelled. I hurried into my bathroom, Evelyn's laughs getting softer as I shut the door. I brushed my teeth and washed my face quickly, thanking the goddesses that I had the right mind to shower last night. Once I was finished, I brushed my hair rather smoothly. I managed to cover my right eye with my bang and had my left exposed for the world to see.

I then burst out of my bathroom, shouting thank you's to Evelyn for cleaning my room and taking out my uniform clothes. I slipped off my nightgown and shimmied into the black plaided skirt and slid one black stocking onto my left leg. I then put on the long-sleeved white shirt and buttoned it up. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and pouted at how bland the colors looked. 'What could I wear to spruce this up?' I questioned myself as I looked around my bedroom.

My eyes landed on a dark purple string sitting on my dresser. I grabbed it and tied it into a bow on my chest and smiled. I also placed a matching purple headband onto my head. I grabbed two different colored shoes; one white and black and the other purple and white; and stepped into them. I then looked at my reflection once more and cheesed, satisfied with how I looked.

My eyes scanned the time on my clock and I jumped. '7:45' "I have to go!" I squeaked and grabbed my bookbag before rushing out of my bedroom and down the hall.

'Do these halls ever end?' I asked myself, it had felt like forever running through them.

I finally reached the staircase and began hopping down the steps. "Good morning Princess!" Another housemaid said to me on the way down. "Good morning, Ivora," I said breathlessly, reaching the last staircase and taking off.

"Elizabeth!" My father's voice boomed as I ran past the dining room. I stopped running, my heels hitting the marble flooring. My heart thudded against my chest as I nervously trudged into the dining room. "Y-Yes Father?" My voice said softly and timid.

My father, the king of Liones, stared at me as he sat at the other end of the very long dining table. "You woke up late, is everything alright?" He asked curiously and clear worrying in his tone. "Yes Father, I just overslept," I answered rather bashfully.

He hummed in his response before standing. He walked to where I was and grabbed me by the shoulders. "Are you sure you want to this?"

I nodded my head furiously. This is what I have always wanted; to attend a normal high school. It's been my dream since I've been granted the opportunity to go to school.

"Yes, I am sure." I decided with no hesitation. He stared at me a while longer before sighing and letting me go. "Well do stay safe. Veronica and Magaret will be there if you need anything." I nodded and turned on my heel to leave,

"And stay away from those damned rebels who call themselves the 'Seven Deadly Sins.'"

I glanced back to see my father walking back to his seat. "I will." I then turned around and left the castle.

I took a route to the school that was not seen by others-that way no one could see me exiting my home. 'Why do you want no one seeing you leave the house?' You ask? Well, I am the third Princess of Liones; Princess Elizabeth. My two older sisters are Veronica and Magaret. My father is the King of Liones, his name being King Baltra.

As a child, I used to attend private schools that was very much far from the kingdom. I never did enjoy it; I was always taken away from my home. From my sisters. They forced you to wear a specific uniform (one that is more defined than the current one I'm wearing), a very large and poofy dress with ruffles on the sleeve. Your hair was to be worn in a bun with no accessories added to it. You were ordered to wear flats, sometimes heels. It felt as if I were in prison instead of school. Not only that, there were barely any academic classes! It was practically a school that taught how to be a princess!

There were clothing classes, balancing and posture, ballroom dancing, everything but what was needed. The only academic classes that were there was Math and History.

It was rather brainwashing and irritating. After I had turned fifteen, I demanded that Father would put me into a public school. It took some very difficult persuading. It went to the point of me drawing out a whole plan of how a public school would better me when I grew up.

Father gave in eventually and here I am! Attending one of the best schools in all of Liones, Liones Prep!

But back to your question, being a princess it's rather important to ensure that no one truly knows who I am. Which is why I have to take a certain route to school, to make sure that no one sees me leaving the castle. I like it this way-it allows me to meet people without them being so flustered because they're standing in front of a princess. It allows me to make longer friendships with people that genuinely want to get to know me instead of those that want to be in my presence because of my title.

My older sisters don't care; Veronica flaunts the title, accepting the attention she receives. Magaret doesn't care that much, she keeps to herself and doesn't allow the name get to her. They're both very popular in the school-Magaret being the student body president and Veronica well known for her combat skills.

I admired both of them, how admired they are.

I stopped walking when I heard a girl laughing on my left. I looked up from the ground, realizing that I was indeed in front of the school. 'Was I that wrapped up in my own thoughts?' I stood staring up at my new school. It was large, with brick walls and shimmering glass windows. Looking around, I began growing a warm feeling in my heart. There were groups of people, my age and older, standing around outside. Some talking with bright smiles on their faces. Others playing around and chasing after another. It was...different. I never felt this way when I attended private school.

I took a deep breath as I stared at the glass doors. 'This is it Elizabeth!' I said in my head. 'It's time to open those doors and begin endless opportunities! No one will be able to stop me! Who knows? I could be the captain of the volleyball team! Wait...I've actually never played before. Or maybe I can join the Chess Club! OH! How about Home Ec-"

I felt the air being brushed past me and before I knew it, I had face planted onto the cold concrete ground. I yelped out as I turned on my side and held my head in pain. Everyone had stopped talking and it had gotten utterly silent for a moment. Until "Ha! What a loser!" A voice said before everyone began to laugh.

I rubbed my forehead, feeling the tears well up in my eyes. 'No...' My bottom lip began to tremble as my hand turned into fists. 'This isn't how it's supposed to start! Stupid clumsy Elizabeth!' I cursed myself, closing my eyes and allowing a tear to slip down my cheek.

A bell rang, indicating that school had finally started. People still laughed but it only faded away as they headed into the school building. No one helped, not one person asked if I was okay. Was this how cruel public school could be?

"Hey," A voice whispered out to me. I sniffled, opening my eyes and looked up. My vision was a bit blurry but I was able to make out a hand being reached out to me. "Are you alright?" The person asked, their voice full of concern.

"I-" I choked out. "Here, let me help you." I then felt a hand on my shoulder and another on my waist and soon felt my body being pulled up to stand. "There you go, it's okay." The person said reassuringly as they rubbed my back in comfort. I sniffled once again before rubbing my nose. I then blinked my eyes in order to regain vision.

I stared at the blonde-haired boy in front of me. I blushed lightly, he was indeed attractive. His height was short but his looks...He had glistening emerald eyes that shined in the sunlight with golden hair that was spruced up in an uncaring way. His uniform shirt was a bit unbuttoned and his tie was hanging off.

"I-Thank you." I stuttered, feeling completely flushed and nervous. 'He's so...' "Don't mention it!" He said, a boyish grin adorning his cheeks. "People can be so cruel. It's not right to make fun of a girl." He uttered out and I felt my heart beat quicken for just a moment.

"R-right," I said, out of breath. He stood, arms crossed behind his head and looking so relaxed. 'Handsome...' "Well, I'd better get to class, be careful okay?" He said, giving me one last smile before walking off into the school building." I remained quiet, only turning to watch him enter.

"Oh you might wanna do that too! The bell did just ring." He said without looking behind him. I flinched, sweat rolling down my forehead. 'Oh, goddesses!' I squeaked, running into the school, not too far behind from the boy that helped me.

~x~x~x~

"Elizabeth Townes. Grade level ten, am I correct?" The counselor asked as I stood in front of her desk. "Yes, Ma'am." I watched as she shuffled through folders before pulling out two sheets of paper. "Here you go, the first paper is your class schedule along with your locker combination, and the other is a list full of clubs you could join." The counselor explained carefully, afraid I'd misunderstand something. "But remember, you're only allowed to join three clubs per semester! Got it?"

"Yes, thank you so much!" I said cheerily before grabbing the papers from her. I left the office, studying my schedule to find my first class. "Room 202...Algebra II...where could it be?" I asked myself as I walked the halls looking at door numbers.

My eyes widened a bit as they landed on the numbers, 202. "I found it!" I cheered before picking up my pace. I walked in the large classroom eyeing it. Students either sat in their seats or on tables and talked without care. I looked for the teacher but wasn't able to find him. 'He must not be here yet.' I thought to myself before smiling softly. 'Which means he can't mark me late!'

I stood awkwardly in the front, unsure of where to go or what to do. 'Do I try to find a seat? How will I be able to? Everyone is hardly in their own.'

"Check out the fresh meat." A voice said, rather seductively. I turned to my right to see a guy with spiky silver hair and red beaded eyes, staring at me hungrily. He growled at me and winked. I shivered and my cheeks flamed up. I quickly looked away and my blush deepened as I heard him laugh.

"Ban! Knock it off!" A girl's voice chastised the boy. I stared at my shoes and felt a small tap on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, please excuse him." The girl said. I turned around to find a short girl with short blonde hair, much like the boy that saved me earlier today, and honey colored eyes. She stood with her arms held behind her and a small smile on her face. "He gets rowdy sometimes." She said before sticking her hand out for me to shake. "My name is Elaine, you must be new here!" She introduced herself, her smile only growing.

I couldn't help but feel at ease. It was as if she had a calming aura surrounding her. "Y-yes I am. My name is Elizabeth, it is a pleasure meeting you Elaine-chan." I shook her hand. "Say, how about you sit next to me? I can promise you I won't allow Ban to bother you anymore." She swore, her hand placed on her heart.

"Alright!" I grinned, following to where she sat. 'She walks so gracefully as if her feet never touch the ground.' I thought to myself as I walked behind the small girl in front of me. 'It's like she floats.'

Elaine sat down in the second row near the middle. The boy named Ban sat on the left her, his eyes never leaving me as I walked to sit on the right of Elaine. "Oh hoh! I see you've come to get a taste of me-OUCH!" Ban yelled as he held his nose, the same place where Elaine punched him in.

"Knock it off Ban! You're gonna scare her away!" Elaine chastised once again before taking a deep breath. "Again, you have to excuse him." "It's fine, I can get used to it." I lied, brushing a strand of hair behind my cheek.

The teacher came in moments later, introducing himself to everyone. He then wrote a couple of problems on the board and stood off to the side, allowing us to see what we can do with them.

Everyone groaned but I proceeded to work, finding the problems rather easy. Thanks to the math class at the private academy, I was able to understand the problem well. I made sure when I wasn't in other classes, I studied the problems and went over my notes daily. I was safe to say I passed the class with a ninety-nine.

I placed my pencil down, finished with the problems and waited patiently. I heard another pencil being placed down; I looked and found Elaine waiting patiently with me. "You're finished too?" I whispered and she nodded her head. "But, I'm not so confident..." She said sheepishly and it only warmed my heart. Elaine-chan was too cute! Her size made her adorable.

The teacher called time and began asking people to come up and write their answers on the board. After no one rose their hands, he called names mine being one of them. "You got this Elizabeth-chan!" Elaine cheered behind me as I walked up to the board.

I looked up at the problem before taking a deep breath. I grabbed the chalk-stick and quickly wrote my answer down for number five along with the work before retreating back to my seat. After about five minutes, the rest of the people at the board retracted back to their own and the teacher took over.

"Alright, let's check these answers!" He said as he looked over each one. "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong..." He trailed off as he looked at mine. "Outstanding! Who did this problem?" He asked as he looked around the classroom.

I nervously rose my hand, eyes glued to my paper. "I-I did, sir."

Whispers began to form as the teacher eyed the problem. "Amazing work Elizabeth!" He congratulated, leaving me a nervous wreck. A guy scoffed, "Fucking nerd." He mumbled behind me. I froze up, 'Nerd? Is that what I am?' I looked at my hands before clenching the hem of my skirt.

Elaine must've noticed me being weird and asked, "Are you alright?"

The boy named Ban seemed to notice too. I felt his stare lingering into my side before looking away. I coughed before forcing a smile on my face. "I'm fine, thank you."

Elaine eyed me before looking away and back at the teacher. The bell rung a couple of minutes later, indicating that class had ended. People left out quickly. I began packing my things as I heard Elaine talk. "What's your next class?" "I believe it is science," I answered, swinging my bag onto my back. "Perfect! I have science too!"

"We can walk to class together!" She cheered and I giggled softly. She took my hand and pulled me out of the classroom. For such a small girl, she had a lot of strength.

"So Elizabeth-chan...where did you used to go to school?" Elaine asked me as we walked the halls, hand in hand. I hesitated before delivering the answer I had studied for the question. "I was homeschooled," I said smoothly, surprising myself.

"Really? I've always wondered what it was like." Elain said as she looked up at me, her eyes full of wonder. "W-well, it's like school. But at home... You get assigned work and you're able to turn it in at any time. It's pretty nice..." I trailed off, the lie thickening in my chest.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Elaine cheesed and I giggled. We reached our next class, this time choosing a small table that only had two seats available. Elaine and I were able to talk and get to know each other on a deeper note. Turns out she has an older brother that goes to school here. His name being Harlequin but he goes by King. She told me about her crush on Ban and I found it the cutest thing!

"Awe Elaine-chan! You and Ban-kun would be so cute together!" I gushed and Elaine shushed me. "Keep it down Ellie-chan!"

My heart fluttered at the nickname and brought warmth to it. She saw my reaction and rose an eyebrow. "What? Did I say something wrong?" She asked and I shook my head no. As me and Elaine laughed together, I couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable feeling of happiness. Her aura radiated off of her, making me feel so at ease. My heart swelled at the idea of us being close-being friends.

After our third class (which ended up being History), the two of us headed to lunch. Both of us packed lunch so there was no need for us to wait inside the cafeteria. She brought me outside to a secluded area where a medium sized table sat underneath a very large tree with white flowers adorning it. It was peaceful, no one sat in the area so it was just us two. "Isn't it beautiful Ellie-chan?" She whispered as she gazed up at the tree. "Yes, indeed it is." I agreed, sitting down at the table.

She sat down on the other side and sighed. "I can't help but feel so...connected with nature. I just have to be outside, no matter where and what time of day it is. It's like a calling..." She said almost breathlessly as a white flower fell into her hand.

I admired her, 'This probably explains her calming aura...her being in one with the earth. As if they were tied to each other by a string.' I thought before taking out my lunch. "Nature truly is a beautiful thing." I agreed, unwrapping my veggie wrap and biting into it.

"So have you seen any cute boys yet?"

The question almost made me choke, causing Elaine to get worried. I then calmed myself before responding. "I-I'm sorry?"

"You know! Cute guys! Someone that made your heartbeat quicken and cause your cheeks to flush!" She urged, leaning over the table. "There has to be someone..."

My mind drifted back to the blonde-haired boy that saved me earlier. My cheeks flamed, causing Elaine to giggle. "I knew it, there is someone!"

"Elaine!"

Elaine's eyes looked behind her, only to widen in surprise. "Big brother!" She said happily before jumping out of her seat. A boy, about the same height as Elaine, engulfed her in a hug. He had a small smile on his face as Elaine squeezed him to her. He had orange-colored hair and tanned skin. His uniform shirt was neatly buttoned and his tie tied well. He had the arms of the shirt rolled up like cuffs.

I could only assume this was Elaine's older brother and watched as the moment between the two. Due to King being in the 11th grade and apart of a club, he barely spent time with Elaine at home, she recalled Elaine explaining. Which is why anytime she sees him during or after the school day, she reacts like this.

"Come on Harlequin, you have to meet my new friend!" Elaine said, tugging him to where I sat at the table. King laughed a bit before his eyes met mine. He studied my face, his eyebrows furrowing. 'So this must be the girl captain was talking about...' King thought as he looked over Elizabeth.

"Nice to meet you, my name is-"

"Harlequin, but you go as King-kun yes?" I asked and watched his face flush. "W-Ho-" "I already told her." Elaine giggled. "Meet Elizabeth-chan." I waved timidly and he repeated the same. "Did you come to eat with us?"

"No, I just came to check up on you. I gotta head back in for my club's meeting." King yawned. Elaine rolled her eyes and pouted, "But I'll be able to come home right after school today." He said and her pout dropped into a smile.

"Anyways, it was nice meeting you Elizabeth-chan. I'll see you at home Elain." He said and patted her head. He gave me one last look before walking off and leaving the very secluded area. Elaine and I proceeded to eat our lunch, cracking jokes and learning more about each other before the bell rung once again.

"Aw, today has been so much fun with you Ellie-chan," Elaine said as she slid on her bag. Our last classes were different, her's being an ELA class and mine being Gym. "Same for me, Elaine-chan," I said as I stood to my feet.

"I'll see you tomorrow, kay?" She said as she gave me a small hug before walking off. "Bye Elaine!" I waved before walking off in a different direction.

~x~x~x~

I walked into the very large and clean Gymnasium and stared at it in awe. The bleachers were a bright green and were polished while the hard-word flooring twinkled in the sunlight. The walls were decorated with green and black paint. "Wow..." I said, truly amazed. It was impressive.

Students rested on the bleachers, their uniforms gone and replaced with athletic ones. "Hey, newbie!" A manly voice called from behind me. I turned around and jumped at the extremely tall man behind me. He wore a green t-shirt with grey sweats. A whistle hung around his neck as he lowered his head down to me. "You're Elizabeth right?" He questioned. I nodded my head yes quickly and watched as he leaned back and crossed his hands over his chest. "Good, here's your gym clothes. Go get changed." He said, tossing the clothes to me before walking off.

"What the hell are ya'll sittin' around for? Get your asses up and start running!" He yelled at the students that were sitting down. Each of them jumped and began running laps around the gym. I headed to the girl's locker room, getting changed quickly and leaving my things in a locker. I bumped into a girl on the way out, quickly apologizing. "Watch where you're heading newbie!" She yelled at me, before exiting out of the locker room. I swallowed back my tears before leaving out as well.

'Why is everyone here so mean?' I wondered as I joined in with the rest of the students in running. 'Wait...is that...' I thought as my eyes landed on Ban, Elaine's crush. He was standing off on the side, leaning against the wall. The coach saw this and began making his way over to curse him.

'Wow, Ban-kun sure is a rebel...' I thought as I watched the coach yell at him. Ban-kun only remained against the wall, unbothered by the man's words. Our eyes met for a moment, his stare was longer than my own. I blushed, being caught, and looked away.

'Hmmm...' Ban thought as he eyed the silver-haired princess and watched her run along with the others. "Are you listening to me brat?" The coach said into his ear. "Yeah, I heard ya old man," Ban responded, getting off the wall and headed to join the rest of his class in the run.

"Damn kids..." The coach mumbled before walking off.

...

After a greatly long and rough class, it had eventually ended. The coach dismissed off to the locker room once the bell rung. I peeled off the now sweaty gym uniform before placing it in my bag and headed to shower. I rinsed myself rather quickly, not wanting to be the last one to leave. I wrapped myself in a towel and headed to the locker I had placed my things in earlier. I stepped out of the towel and threw on my school uniform before grabbing my things and exiting.

I walked out of the gym and headed to the front of the school, enjoying the summer rays against my skin.

"Woo, how I love new girls."

A voice whooped behind me. I only began walking faster, not wanting to be targeted once again. A person blocked my way, standing in front of me. "What's the rush sweetheart? I just wanted to introduce myself." The guy said, his voice deep. I looked up and took note of his silver hair. He had black eyes that were blank and tan skin. "What's your name, lovely~?" He asked, brushing my cheek.

I gulped and nervously backed away. "I-I'm not interested." The guy kissed his teeth, walking closer to where I was backing up to. "You're not interested? Why's that..." His voice trailed off as I felt his stare lower at me. "Cause I'm definitely interested in you..." His tone dropped yet another pitch, causing me to flinch.

"Hey!"

I peeked an eye open to catch a whip of blonde hair before I was shoved on the ground. I winced at the pain my bottom felt before getting a better view of what was happening before me. My heart fluttered as I saw him. The same guy from earlier. He was here again, but this time standing on top of the much taller and probably older guy.

"I hate seeing innocent girls getting cornered or picked on, so watch yourself okay?" The boy's voice declared. The guy underneath only rolled his eyes before shoving him off. He then stood up and smirked. "I'm sorry, is she you're girlfriend?" My cheeks grew pink at the question. 'G-girlfriend?'

"I should've known, a hot babe like her had to be taken." The guy sighed before giving me one last look. "I'll catch you later, lovely~." He winked before walking off. The boy brushed himself off before looking at me. "Geez, this just keeps happenin' huh?" He said, a grin appearing on his cheeks. My heart tugged and I looked away quickly. "Thank you, once again," I said shyly. "It's no problem at all. I don't mind saving you." He said cooly before reaching his hand out for me to grab.

I gladly accepted it, brushing the hair from my face. "Say, how was your first day?" He asked.

'H-he wants to have a conversation with me...' I thought as I stared into his eyes. "I-oh, it was alright. I made a friend..." I trailed off apprehensively. "Oh, that's good!" He said a small grin on his face. He had placed his arms behind his head again and rested. "My day was pretty boring, the only reason I came was because it was the first day."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear..."

"Ah, it's no biggie. I got to meet a cutie today so that's a win." My cheeks only grew redder. "Although, the only time I got to see her was when I was saving her. Kinda odd, isn't it?" He snickered as he watched my cheeks burn. "I-I..."

"Welp, see ya tomorrow cutie!" He cooed before walking off once more.

I placed my hand against my chest, my eyes widening at how fast my heartbeat had gotten. I then remembered Elaine's words, 'Someone that makes your heartbeat quicken and cheeks burn...' I hummed in response, a small smile on my face. I headed home with a dazed look and a certain blonde-haired boy on my mind.

~x~x~x~

"Welcome back from school, Princess Elizabeth!" Evelyn said as she entered my bedroom. "Thank you Evelyn." I smiled as I looked up from my homework. "Do tell me how you're day was." She said as she entered fully and waited.

I explained to her to a different atmosphere, the people there, Elaine and her brother King along with Ban. I did leave out the small comments people made about me and the blonde-haired boy that managed to save me. Twice.

"Wow, you're day sounded pretty eventful. I'm glad you enjoyed it." She said, a loving smile on her face. I only agreed, I did have a pretty good day. "Well, I wanted to let you know that dinner would be ready soon." She said before leaving.

Once she was gone, I sighed out. Today had been truly fun, and I hoped that me and the blonde-haired boy would get closer. I continued my homework with a faint smile on my face.
