I sighed,poking my baby carrots with my metal my appetite over a bet that I suggested ,was did I make that bet?Especially with that-um-dark brown haired guy.

"Sofia,is everything okay?"Dad asked me,I looked up and nodded before Amber cut in,"Daddy,Sofia made a bet with a boy and-"

"Hold on-hold on-Sofia,you made a bet with a boy?"Dad was obviously not happy with me.

"Dad,it is a meaningless bet.I mean if I don't get into the team then-"

"Wait,you're joining the royal derby team?"

"Didn't you know,Dad?"James took a quick bite of his turkey leg and burped."Excuse me."

"James!"Amber frowned and shoved the piece of broccoli into her mouth.

"Well,Amber.I did say,'Excuse me' and mind your own business."

"Sofia,you're absolutely not going to join the team."Dad said,crossing his arms.

"Why not,Dad?I love flying horses and it was my dream since I was-"

"Do you understand English?I said,'I forbid you to join it'!"

"Well,do you even understand me?"I said with my voice being raised,an obvious scowl appearing on my face,he wasn't my real father,he will never ever understand me.

"Don't talk to me in that voice,young lady."Dad frowned and everyone was watching us,even the servants' eyes were on us,carefully hearing the horrible conversation we are having now and are going to gossip about this but why would I care,this fellow wasn't even my barely knew what's my favourite colour,let alone knowing my interests in flying derby.

"WELL,YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL WOULD-"I hollered before a hand reaches my cheek and gave me a good old hard bloody man didn't not even know me,he does not have the right reason to slap me!

Raged,infuriated."I'm sorry,I have to go."I dropped my fork down and ran out of the dining room,ignoring the stupid stares I got from my stupid family and the nosy was my life so horrible?Even during my birthday despite not receiving any gifts,i was nice about it but all I wanted was someone to wish me Happy Birthday.

They can smile and go out on family trips for all they can't control me,my mother is non-existent anyways and she just controls me like a controller to the telly!

Paintings passed by the corner of my eyes and I carried on running along the empty hall which the servants are now busy with dinner and no one bothers to walk around the hall for no exact reason except to guard it from rare and unsuspecting 'visitors' which was not often seen here since every corner of the castle was guarded,twenty four hours a day.

However,I still could not understand why this particular fellow did not approve me of joining the Royal derby he like the other princes in the team,sexist and thinking the females can't do it?Despite not being a feminist,I still hated their thinkings.

Even when James broke his arm during practice in flying derby,everyone did not pull him out of the ,they were showering him with love and I broke mine,everyone would lecture me on,"Sofia,you knew that this would did you join the tryout race?"I would be immediately kicked out and will be prevented from doing what I like.

My fists clenched as my boots brushed against the scattered hat on the stable floors and I furrowed my eyebrows at the thought of my stupid family.

I looked across the row of horses and found my horse,'Minimus.'

"Come on, 's go."I opened the door and put his saddle on and opened the front door of the stables before closing it.

I shook the reins and we slowly got lifted off the ground and were flying up at the night sky and I saw forests and the twinkling lights of the wind was strong but I still decided to carry on and decided to visit Burberry forest which was my favourite spot when I first attended Royal Prep.

Despite this,tears were dropping down from my face and my eyes were red from the crying.I sobbed before assuring me this;

You're a fighter, don't cry.

The air of the forest was crisp and fresh when I breathed in it and we've reached the forest and i tied Minimus to a tree near a field of wild flowers and he started to eat the grass that was there.

I walked to the lake with my heart palpitating and sat down,enjoying the full moon today and gathered small stones and rocks from the lake,staring at the wavy moon and me on the reflection of the clean but slightly murky water.

I threw each of the rocks into the lake as hard as I can,venting my anger and frustration on each throw.

"My-stupid-parents,ughhhh."I groaned as I threw 3 of them into the lake."fuck them-fuck them-fuck them all."Just then,I sensed someone was watching me but I continued throwing my stones into the lake.

"It's funny that a princess can swear."A guy in a black waist coat,walked to me.

"Oh it's you."I rolled my eyes.

He was that Prince called-I don't know.

Hugo?

Harry?

"I can talk in any way I want."I glared at did had gorgeous eyes though,they were hazel.

"But you're a princess."

"It's not like you don't swear."

"Yeah but I'm a prince."

"Harry?Nice to meet you,Prince Harry."

"No-no,Prince Hugo."

"We haven't formally introduced ourselves ."I shook his hand."I'm Princess Sofia Catherine Of the United Kingdom."

"Prince Hugo of Switzerland."

"Why do you have to wear clothes that look like you're from the 15th century?"I giggled,I mean this is the 20th century,right?

"I had to follow my father and my brother for the European referendum so that's why I'm wearing this."He glances at me."You don't do that?"

I sighed,"My relationship with my step-father isn't that good."

"Step father?I thought-"

"No,I'm from a village called Dunwitty which is in Chelsea."I said,he was the first person to know about thought that I was Dad's bastard daughter since I resemble him a lot."Please don't tell anyone about this,I don't them to talk about-"

"Well..."

"Why are you here,anyways."

"I like the environment in Burbery Forest."

I continued throwing my stones and he picked one up."You like doing this?"

"What do you expect?Me beating you up?"

"Like you could."

"Alright then."I tackled him onto the grass and gave him a few punches in the stomach.

He coughed and sat up,he looked at me for a while and a punch was delivered to his face.I stared at him and chuckled.

There was this odd feeling in my guts,something I never felt before.I was absorbed in his eyes,they darkened and there was something in it.

With bated breath,my eyes narrowed and I had butterflies in my stomach.

Feeling fluttery,my eyes brows furrowed and Hugo had closed the small distance between our lips.

My heart was beating rapidly,I couldn't help but to enjoy it.I deepened into it and held onto his face,his hands grasping my waist.I closed my eye and had the time of my like this don't happen often,right?

He was strong and held me back,laying me on the both took a deep breath before continuing with our kissing session.

I didn't know why there was voice that was somewhat encouraging me to go the hell was wrong with me?

Hugo tucked in one of my auburn locks behind my ear and looked at me and hitting me hard with his was like devouring me and was really going for it.

His thumb caressed my chin and I held him close to mind was in chaos,feelings poured in and I began to shake.

I was tingly all over and I had yearned for this moment for years.I have heard it from the fairy tales and everything.I confess that I always had a pang of jealousy whenever I heard or see one of my classmates being kissed.I waited for so long and this guy just fulfilled my wish.

His lips were dry and warm and had heated up my fingers combed through his dark brown hair as Hugo rubbed my back.

I felt at bliss,the world up lightening up but the temperature around us, was getting hotter and hotter,droplets of sweat slid down our foreheads but we carried on with our kiss.

Hugo's hair had stuck onto his forehead and I swiped it to the kissed down onto my neck and he whispered,"I'm not going to give you a love bite but I'm going to make sure that you will enjoy this."Before he pushes me down to the grass and he peppered hard and light kisses on my neck and I gazed at him.

The illuminating moonlight had shone on us,it was like a spotlight in a stage but life's a stage after all.

We could not stop,any attempt to pull us apart would fail and will end us up having an urge to press on with it.

I hear Hugo's heartbeat when I laid on his chest and he was playing with my hair.

He panted,"You liked it?"

I nodded,"Yeah."My fingers locking with his.

"First kiss?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry if you didn't want your first kiss at 12 especially with someone you just knew."

"It's alright,I liked it though."I comforted him and held his warm hand,I have to admit,it really was a good kiss."I had a whale of a time."

"Still remember the bet?"

"look,my father is preventing me to-"

"Nobody can stop you from doing what you want,even your instincts and dreams,I don't want you to end up like me."

"You're a great person,I would actually want to be like you."I simpered,caressing his hand.

"Trust me,my life isn't as perfect or good from what you think."He pulls me closer to him.

"So-"I had a million things in my mind,right now."Are we going to be like-you know um,"

"Can we keep our relationship a secret?"He asked me.

A part of me did not want to promise him that I will keep this to myself but I knew that my friends especially Regina,liked him.

I didn't want the world to have the world war again just because i couldn't keep my stupid mouth shut.

"Yeah,I-I guess we could."I stammered,unsure of my decision.

"Thank you."He planted a kiss onto my cheek.

We spent the whole night having conversations and laying beside each other but Sofia,you're still ridiculous for having a boyfriend at 12 and you just literally kissed a guy you met a week ago!

I sighed before staring at the full moon again.
