Sick Of Losing
A/N This just a little something I thought up yesterday when I was bored. It's about Artie being sick of being a loser in love but somebody shows up up but she's not like other girls. It's a drabble now but will continue if people want me to...
Artie sighed sadly. It was a week after what had happened with Charming and his attempt to take over Far, Far Away but he sighed getting up. Even though he was the heir to the kingdom, he felt like a loser especially since he still remembered life at Worchester Academy. He sighed looking out at his kingdom.
"Why do I feel like.... I used to when I was a nobody and guys like Lance used me for jousting practise.
I'm supposed to be King now but why do I feel so empty?" he thought as a tear came to his eye.
"Artie you okay?" he heard Lillian ask him.
"Yeah..... Yeah I'm fine." he lied but the former Queen could see he was lying but knew he was feeling alone.
Artie still had this feeling within him as he walked through the streets of the kingdom. But then he saw somebody.
It was a girl.
She had long wispy brown hair, a plainish dress and was slender. She had emerald eyes and seemed shy.
"Go talk to her. Maybe you have a lot in common." his heart urged him as he walked over nervously.
The girl seemed to be sad but looked at awe as she saw him as she saw him.
".....Hey I'm Artie.
What's going on?" he told her softly.
"I-I'm Adriannna. I ran away.
The people at this school I went to weren't very nice to me.
My parents don't know." she answered him softly. Artie gasped. Here was somebody who understood his pain but before he could talk to her more, she had been moved on by the owner of the store. He wondered if she would be okay.
"Maybe you'll see her again Artie you never know." his heart told him. He smiled sadly as he returned to the castle..
Lillian wondered why her nephew was so quiet.
He wondered where Adrianna was spending the night. He wondered where she was right now.
Adrianna was asleep hiding in a barn for the night without the owners finding her. She had nowhere to go but didn't care if she was caught.
She thought of the guy she'd met eariler in the town.
"It wouldn't have worked out anyways.
Back in Worchester nobody noticed me, I was alone even the popular kids didn't know I was alive.
What makes him any different?" she muttered.
Rain fell upon the kingdom as Artie lay awake in bed.
He was thinking about the future.
The next morning he woke up with a start and ran out of the castle in pyjamas. Lillian was a little confused but understood as he ran through the streets as people stared but dared not to question their king. .
Adraianna smiled a little at Artie. Her eyes went wide as she remembered him.
He'd always helped her when Gwen and the popular girls picked on her but she'd never noticed him. He then found her standing outside Farbuck's shivering.
But for some reason the people sitting in there seemed to ignore her.
"Why has nobody asked her if she wants help?
She's been alone since yesterday and I bet she has nobody to count on.
Maybe I should help." he thought approaching her as he had a tray with two cups of coffee and muffins.
"You okay?
These people are being jerks to you." he told her. Adrianna blushed a little even though he'd left Worchester, he still wanted to help her.
"T-Thanks Artie.
I forgot how kind you were back at Worchester helping me." she told him.
Artie gasped at that.
"You... were at Worchester too?
I think I remember you. You were always.... alone and Gwen and those other annoyances called the jousting team were always cruel to you because you were so quiet, smart and very kind hearted.
I understand why you would run away from that place." he replied softly.
Adrianna laughed at that.
"Yeah that's true but some of them said you dropped out before graduation.
Why.... did you leave?
Were you tired of how they treated you?" she asked him.
Artie was nervous at that.
He remembered that term was when he found out he was to be King.
But he couldn't let her know he was truly King. Only those who'd been there that day in the assembly hall knew.
"I.... had some friends to help and I wasn't able to get back to Graduation." he lied as he sipped his coffee but he saw girls give Adrianna the evil eye as they left the coffee house and she hung her head low.
She too was hiding a secret from him too......
But right now it didn't matter because they'd found something in common but as soon as a guard carriage passed by, Adrianna ducked behind the table and reappeared once it moved on.
He wondered what was going on with her.
But he watched as she ran off with tears in her eyes as she hid in the barn that night.
"Why couldn't I tell him the truth about myself?
But if he knew what.... I really was, he'd hate me too like the people in my old village that I used to call home.
Artie I'm a witch." she thought as her lavender tinged eyes were red from the sadness.....
She knew that if she told him, he wouldn't understand and think she was a freak.......
