"Thanks for dropping me off, George" I said as I hopped out of the Helicopter.
"No Prob, M. See ya later" he waved good bye as he flew away. I walked up to the main entrance that was gated with metal gates that had pretty silver swirl designs on it. At the entrance the security guards stood tall. Bob and Harvey, their still as statues it's like they never move.
"Please state your full name and title" Bob said.
"Melody Edwards , Princess of Costa Luna" I stated. Bob stated my presence into his ear piece.
"Welcome Princess Melody to Scarlett Heights Royal Academy" Harvey open the gates and stepped aside making a walkway for me.
"Thank you and do you really have to say that every time?" I asked.
"Yes, yes we do". I just shook my head as I walked through the gates. I walked into school and as I went down the hallway, the prince of Spain came up to me. Max Salazar. He has dark brown hair in a pompadour styled haircut. His dark brown eyes go with his tan skin. And he was wearing his combat boots and leather jacket over his academy uniform.
"Hey, princess" he said.
"Can you not?" I asked annoyed. He always calls me princess just to annoy me. Me and Max don't talk much but when we do talk I feel he tries his best to get under my skin with his so called playful banner. Once in a while he comes over sometimes for royal gatherings and parties and stuff. His mom makes him. He's kind of got a bad reputation, the usual bad boy stuff, bad attitude, trouble maker, rule breaker etc. And We're not really friends more like aquatints.
"Wanna come over my house today, we still need to finish our science project and your mom wants you to be there so we can talk about certain issues" I said putting an emphasis on certain. I turned to face Max as when approached our first period.
"Sure thing, princess" I scowled at him as he walked away.
"Um, where do you think your going first period is this way" I pointed to the classroom door.
"That's exactly why I'm going in the opposite direction" he said smugly.
"Oh no you don't, your going to class you need to take the notes for our project" I grabbed his hand dragged him to class. He smirked at me.
"Looks like someone's eager to hold my hand" I quickly pulled my hand back.
"Can we just please go to class?" I asked annoyed. He grinned but complied and we walked into class. As people started to get seated the teacher came in.
"Good morning class" Mr. Lockwood said.
"Good morning " the class responded.
"Alright class, since I have papers to grade and it seems to me you could use the extra time, I shall allow you to discuss you projects for the entire period". Max scooted close to me, which surprisingly didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I took out my pencils and notepad to take notes on the project when something hit the back of my head. I turned around to see Adriana and her posse snickering behind me.
"Can I help you?" I grumbled.
"Actually, Meline I wanted to give this to you" she handed me and envelope and me and Max exchanged a look. Everyone knows that Adriana hates me for some strange reason and she makes it her goal to ruin me.
"Oh and here's one for you, Max" she said flirtatiously. She tried doing the whole batting her eyelashes and hair twirling thing but she just looked awkward and weird. It almost made me want to laugh.
"Um…thanks and her name's Melody" Max said. I smiled at how Max defended me. I opened the envelope and frowned. It was a bunch of small words mushed together. And…I…I couldn't read it. Most of it anyways, it was very hard to make out the words. Letters got mixed up with other letters and it was very frustrating.
"What's the matter?" Adriana said mockingly. "Having a hard time reading. Oh…don't tell me, little Melody can't read, what's the disease called again?" I looked at Adriana and gave her the ultimate death glare. Most of the people in the class were probably staring but honestly I don't give a damn. I could feel Max's gaze on, like he was waiting for what I was going to say next.
"Its not a disease and it's called dyslexia. And your a real bitch! And how do you even know there's anything wrong with me anyways?" I soon figured what had happened. Megan, (Adriana's right hand bitch) happened. She got the keys to the administration's office and got my medical records from my file.
"You sneaky little…" and they all looked at me, smirks on their faces like they won. I took my stuff and furiously stormed out of the classroom.
" Ms. Edwards, where do you think your going?" Mr. Lockwood asked firmly.
"The nurse's office sore throat *cough*" I said making something up.
"Very well then". I walked down the hallway just to clear my head when I heard footsteps behind me.
"Really Adriana do you really have to be such a…" I turned around only to see that it wasn't Adriana but it was Max.
"Oh it's you…what do you want Max? Did you come here to tease me because I'm really not in the mood for this, but go ahead and get it out of your system" I looked at him and he gave me a sympathetic look. I hated it. I hate sympathy or pity because I don't need to be felt bad for.
"That was really uncool what Adriana did back there. I didn't know".
"Exactly, I didn't want anyone to know, no one was supposed to know!" I was literally about to cry from anger if that makes sense. They just make me so mad.
"Hey" Max said softly. He starred at my for a minute and for a split second things didn't seem so bad knowing that I'm not completely alone...
"Okay..." I wiped my eyes to prevent tears from falling. "Thanks for being nice and everything but I'm going to go home. I've had enough drama and humiliation for today" I sighed as I started to walk towards the exit.
"Hold up" Max walked up to me, held my hand and grinned at me.
"Let me come with you, we still need to work on our project and my mom probably would want me there anyways".
