Chapter 2
Aikka blinked his eyes confused. Yes, he had plans to secretly 'kidnap' Molly out of her group, but now she was standing here, right before him!
"Molly?"
She smiled. "Hey Aikka.."
Again a silence. What did he had to say? He didn't knew. And she or didn't knew it to, or didn't wanted to say anything. Probably the last, since she was looking at him with an I'm-waiting face.
Com'n Aikka.. think of something.. she's not gonna wait the whole day. Molly already attempt to open her mouth, as he quickly spoke. "What are you doing here?"
Woops, sounded a bit rude.
"Nice to see you too!" she said a bit amused. Aikka blinked his eyes again. "No, I didn't meant it like that! It's just that I didn't expe-.." he was cut of by two arms who hugged him all suddenly. She had come forward quickly and hugged him. "Like I said, nice to see you." She whispered softly.
Aikka smiled as she released him. "Indeed." He answered.
"Oh, by the way, it's not Molly. It's Eva." Eva softly said. Aikka looked at her. "Eva?"
"I used Molly as a fake name.. long story.."
"I got the time."
So, they both sat down, and Eva started to tell. Well, to tell the things she wanted to tell. Some things better can be secret.
After some time, there was a short silence. Eva had to breathe again from her long talk, and Aikka needed to put his thought on a row. Let's see. Mother died 5 years old. Father left her Boarding School 5 years old. Escaped of school 15 years old, went with the team to Oban as stoway girl. Now she's back with her father since a year ago, and they try to build up a new life. He can remember it.
Eva Wei, 16 years old. He already figured out that must be her age, seems to her behaviour and looks. However she often acts like a too happy child. Aikka himself was much older, he was 20, but she knew it, and it didn't bothered her.
He chuckled when he got the answer on his next question. She couldn't stop talking about how she has been in the last year. Her voice seemed to catch no breath. Amused he watched at the girl, but making sure that he kept the words in his head perfectly.
One of the rules he learned on socialisation-class, always listen good.
She had stopped. "Wow, I talked allot. It's just.. there happened so much last year!" She said with a sweet smile, looking a bit guilty. Aikka smiled back. "It's okay."
"And you? How've you been?" She asked again, with that extraordinary excitement.
"Um.. good.. I guess. Not much. Preparing for my crowning, all that kinda royalty stuff. Uh.. lessons, planning, marriage.."
"You've married?" Eva said in a bit of shock. Soon it placed for happiness, though she knew quit good how fake it was. "Good for you!"
Aikka stared at her for a moment. Softly he continued. "No.. I did not married. I refused all proposals." Eva blinked her eyes. "Oh. Sorry. Why?" She kept on asking.
"Personal reasons." Was his answer. Normally Eva would have kept begging, bugging, asking, flirting that kinda stuff till he said it. But with him it was different. She just felt she shouldn't do it. So she didn't. "Okay." she only said.
Why couldn't she sleep? She always was a hard sleeper, but this was not normal! It was like.. 3 am! And she started sleeping 22:00, cause she didn't wanted to hang out with the guys anymore.
A few girls picked on her that she finally became more 'girly'. How she almost threw up. No way she's ever gonna wear make-up, or doing her hair fashionable, or finally putting in nice ear-rings, or change her clothes more sweet.
No way, no way, no way!
EEEWW!
She loved her 3 pins in her ear, clean face, rough hair, and boyish clothes. She grinned. And the coolest is that the guys that the girls out of her class likes, all are in love with her. Because she's different. And not that popular behaviour.
But she didn't liked them. She remembered how she gave a boy a blue eye once cause he was with his hands on the wrong places. He would never, NEVER, do it again, trust me.
And the other guys watched their backs to.
How she hated that kinda guys. Or the guys that think they are cool. Like Jordan did first. But after she known him he seemed nice. He was cute, but not her type. No, way not.
Aikka was more. But the things that were worse on him, that that he was a prince, and an alien.
Well, not that she didn't liked him as an alien. No, he was cute. Very cute. And as prince, boy, she didn't cared.
But his planet did. His parents. He. My dad. And eventually I.
Enough thinking, go sleep! NOW!
Aikka sighed when he got out of bed. He hated mornings. They were so early. "Annoyed, brother of me?" A male voice said out of the corner, where the door was. Aikka groaned. "Ciaran." He greeted his 2 year older brother. Ciaran grinned. "I decided that it was better for you that I woke you up, in place of Mack, (Short name of Mackenna, his 8 year old sister.) cause she wouldn't have done it nice."
"And why is that?" Aikka asked, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"You forgot something today."
Aikka stared at him. What did he forgot.. "DEAR LORDS!" He yelled as he jumped to his feet, and dressed himself a bit unhandy.
"You're to late, Aikka. The ceremonial is already over."
"Aargh! I promised Mack I would be there. She was so upset last time." Mack found that Aikka didn't played enough with her, didn't talked enough with her, and in a try to make her feel better he promised to come to her ceremonial of her class. And he slept over it.
"Where is she now?"
"Garden."
"Thanks."
Ciaran walked out of the room, heading for the garden. He would love to see his younger brother getting the fight fixed up with Mack. Unfortunately for him he got interrupted. "Please don't say you're going to bug Aikka again. Leave the boy alone, Ciaran." Ciaran turned around with a disappointed sigh. He faced his 15-year old sister, Rachina. "But he's acting different, and is not telling me."
"Ciaran, you are 22 years old, a grown up man. Start acting like it!" She said stern. Gosh, she looked allot like their mom.
"Don't you wanna know?" He answered.
"Yes, but he will tell us himself."
"He already waited a year."
"So? I think your problem is getting a fiancée, mom and dad are pissed off cause you refused them all. You're just like Aikka!"
"But I have my reasons, and those reasons are knowing by everyone in the palace."
Sigh. "Fine. Don't bug him. Please."
"I'll do it when you cant see it."
She turned around and walked away, only with the thought that they where on the good way. God, when would he grow up.
Eva gently scratched on her head with her pencil. True, her ballpoint was broke. What else should she write? Suddenly the book was grabbed away. "Hey guys look!" Allan, one of her class-mates, had grabbed the book and hold it up high.
With a fake girly face he read a few sentences of the book. Unfortunately it where the few sentences where she said how she hated to have those feelings for Aikka while it is forbidden.
Everybody laughed at her. She heard some girls whispering. "That prince doesn't even exist!" angry she tried to reach for the diary again, but it was throw to the other guys.
Max, who had caught the diary, wanted to throw it over to another boy, but a tanned hand caught him then. Everybody gasped, since he practically came out of nowhere. Eva sighed relieved.
Aikka stood there with the diary in his hand, watching confused, could she see anger in it?, at the children, who stared back. They all knew good enough who that was. Gently he walked over to Eva, as she had to chuckle cause of the effort it took of the stuff that was lying here.
He finally reached her. "Aikka." Eva said in a way of a greeting, and in a way to prove that Prince Aikka DID exist. Aikka smiled. "I believe this is yours?" He said, handing her the diary.
Eva blushed lightly, she was sure he must have heard those few sentences. "Yeah.. thanks." She managed to say, as she quickly grabbed it, holding it to her chest tightly.
"Well, are you ready?"
"Oh yeah.. just wait.." A simple 5 seconds back in the tent and she flopped out of it with a bag. "Ready." With a big grin.
How she loved the stares of her class-mates.
Eva dropped herself against a tree, and Aikka sat down too. "Nourasia truly is a beautiful planet! If you see the nice stuff." She added with a chuckle.
Aikka grinned. "Yes, it is. I've seen it all. And then I mean, really, all."
"Ouch."
"Indeed." He chuckled. "Say Eva," He started a new question. "What was that thing those guys had stolen from you? And what did it said? I heard something about Aikka, but couldn't hear it quit good though."
God. What did she had to say. "Uh.. it's a diary! You write your day in it. And.. I put in how I met you that day!" She quickly lied. Aikka nodded. "Ah, I see. And why did everyone laughed at that then?"
Uhm.. "Well.. uh.. they didn't believed you were real..?"
"Why is that?"
Jesus, she didn't knew. "Cause it sounds to much like a fairy-tale?"
"What's that?"
"Aikka, you're asking hard questions right now. Wait, let me think. A fairy-tale is.. a simple story.. where.. all kinda magical and nice creatures are in.. and.. things that normal don't happen to people.. you know."
"Like you raced on Oban?" Aikka asked further, not really noticing her first comment.
"Exactly. And meeting a cute Prince of another planet too." SHIT! Her hand went to her mouth with a loud slap. It just slipped out of her mouth! Aikka first stared at her confused, but then laughed. "Well, thank you for the compliment." He said grinning. But she could see a weird sparkle in his eyes. Whatever. Glad he took it good. She added a unsure smile to his laugh.
"And what more, exactly?" Aikka added with raising his eyebrows.
"Oh. Uh. Well, Jordan becoming Avatar, my life nearly loosing to the Croggs and Canaletto, uh.. that my father is the best race-manager on Earth.. you know."
Hmm.. not the answer that he wanted.
Tadáá! The chapter you've all been waiting for! What's gonna happe next? Dundunduuun!
