A/N: Hi everyone! I am very sorry that it has taken me so long to update this story. I ran into huge writer's block and wasn't writing for pleasure anymore. I'm in college and it has been kicking my butt. I was going through some of my documents and I stumbled over this again. I reread the other chapters and this one that was partially started and found my motivation to continue. I can't promise set updates but I do hope to have a couple for you guys this year.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, but I do own the plot.

Chapter 3:

After my horrible run in with asshole number one I instantly fled back to my room. All the girls were sitting in there talking when I walked in, and it was obvious to me that it was obvious to them that they could tell I was beyond annoyed and irritated.

"Hey Cam, what happened" Bex asked.

"Take one very wild guess!"

"You ran into Zach?"

"Quite literally too! And he had the nerve to flirt with me! Who does he think he is?!"

The girls looked at each other and at me before they all started laughing. They knew that I always get super pissed and agitated anytime I have to interact with Zachary. He really is my least favorite person in the entire universe.

"Can you please stop laughing? It's not that funny!"

Trying to contain her laugh Macey says "Then tell us what happened."

FLASHBACK

"Well hello to you too Zachary."

I made eye contact with Zachary once I was back on my feet. From the look in his eyes he did not expect it to be me that he ran into. It was like he he didn't know that I would be here. I thought Grant had told him over the summer that we were both starting this fall. He probably forgot... Again… I watched as Zachary quickly covered up his little bit of confusion with his classic trademark smirk. God I hate that smirk!

"Cammie babe! How are you?" he said

"Zachery. I highly doubt you really care how I am."

"What makes you think I don't care how you are doing?" As he said this his eyes conveyed that he was confused as to why I would ever think such things.

"You just saw me last month at Grant and I's birthday party and didn't even give me a second glance. You talked and hung out with Grant, my friends, and my parents but never once did you even so much as say happy birthday. How do those actions scream that you care how I am doing? Now if you will excuse me I'll be on my way."

As I started to walk away he looked like he wanted to say something but it never came. I'm a little sad that he wouldn't even defend his actions at the party. He used to be my best friend and while I do hate him now I miss how things were. He was the one person I went to when I was feeling like a disappointment to my family and country. I think that is why his betrayal hit me so hard and why being around him pisses me off so much. I finally make it back to my dorm no longer excited about my new base and in the mood to rant.

Zach's POV

I am walking down the hallway of the school thinking about anything and everything. Being a prince can be hard work, but for me it comes naturally. Which works out as I will one day rule Mark. I am brought out of my musing by making an impact with something that felt like a girl. I looked and saw her on the ground a little bit away from where I was. I took a second to survey the girl, she looked rather pretty. With that in mind I decided to turn on the charm and offer my hand to help her up.

"Hey, sexy! Isn't it too early for you to be falling for me?"

"Well hello to you too Zachary." she said.

Cam is here?! I didn't know she was supposed to be here. Why didn't Grant say anything? We literally talk every day and he didn't mention that him and his twin were going to be joining us at MIP this year. I have to act natural!

"Cammie babe! How are you?"

"Zachery. I highly doubt you really care how I am."

Does she really think that I don't care about her? I love her so much. It hurts to know that she thinks I don't care.

"What makes you think I don't care how you are doing?"

"You just saw me last month at Grant and I's birthday party and didn't even give me a second glance. You talked and hung out with Grant, my friends, and my parents but never once did you even so much as say happy birthday. How do those actions scream that you care how I am doing? Now if you will excuse me I'll be on my way."

I go to tell her that I do care, but I stop myself. She looks hurt for a second before she looks even more pissed and stocks away. I hate that I have to pretend around her, act like a complete asshole. All I want to do is hold her and tell her that I love her with all of my heart.

But I can't.

END FLASHBACK

Cammie's POV

The girls giggled at the end of the story.

"Cam, I love you, but this isn't anything new" exclaimed Bex. "My cousin has been this way since he cheated on you. All he does is suduce idiot girls that believe they can be the girl to finally get him to settle down. Which we all know will probably never happen. He doesn't need a wife to be allowed to rule."

"Your right Bex, but it still pisses me off. He didn't use to be like this and I guess that is why it angers me so much."

"Well why don't we all go to the gym so you can let off some steam Cam?" asked Mace

"Sounds perfect!"

We all change into some workout clothes and then head out to the barn. When I walk in I instantly feel better, gyms had always been a get away for me. They were places that allowed me to drop the princess act and finally be me. The girls and I start with some stretches so that we don't pull any muscles. Macey and Liz went of to go do some cardio and Bex and I decided to spar for a bit. It felt really good to let off some steam with my best friends. As Bex and I finally called a draw on our sparring match, the boys came in.

While I felt better, I was in no mood to deal with Zachary again. I told Bex, to tell Grant that I was feeling tired and was heading back to our dorm. I reached my dorm with no problems at all. Once inside I picked up my favorite book and started reading. A few chapters in there was a knock at the door. I went and answered and saw that our uniforms had arrived. I brought them in and put them on the bed that corresponded with the name tag. As I was laying them out I noticed that both mine and Macey's skirt had a different accent color on the plaid from Bex and Liz's. I guess I will have to ask more about that means when they all return.

The girls arrived with enough time to change and get ready for dinner. While they were all freshening up I decided to ask my question about our uniforms.

"Hey guys, is there a reason why my uniform matches Macey's but not Bex and Liz's?"

"Our uniforms are each designed so that the accent color matches our station in society. For the girls it is our skirts and for the boys it is their ties that let everyone know. The school does this so that students don't accidentally cause an international crisis by offending the wrong people. As you and I are princesses our color is blue, which is worn by all students of royal birth. Bex and Liz are both Duchesses and their color is green, as worn by all students of noble birth. The color green is also worn by students whose parents control countries, like the children of America's presidents. Everyone else wears orange, these students are usually from families of foreign dignitaries and influential businessmen." explained Macey

"Oh" was all I could answer with.

I didn't know what else to say about the uniforms. The color system was so very thought out and well established, that I knew making any arguments about it would be useless. I guess in our world things like this are very important, connections and image is everything. But I am nervous about what the other students will think of me when they learn that I am a princess. Sure they probably already know about my position but they don't know me as a person and I fear that once they meet me they will think that I am a horrible princess.

I am brought out of my musing by Liz saying that it is time to head down for dinner. We arrive at the dinning hall and walk over to sit at the table with our classmates. I noticed that Grant and the triplets are already there and go sit next to my twin. Before food is brought to the tables the headmaster stands up at the podium to welcome us all to a new school year. As he stood talking, I berated myself just a bit for forgetting that Joe was the headmaster here. Joe Solomon is my father's best friend and Grant and I see him as our Uncle. I'll have to stop by his office sometime this week and chat with him. The food arrives and we all dig in.

"How was move in Cam?" asked Grant

"It went well. The school is very beautiful and I'm really excited for classes to start tomorrow"

"Hey Cam! Just wanted to let you know that your idiot brother forgot to tell us that you guys were joining us this year." said Jonas

"Sorry Jonas. Though I am not surprised and I doubt you were."

"Touche."

Dinner passed with more small talk amongst my friends and the boys. As I am not much of a talker I mainly listened to their discussions and made comments when necessary. At the conclusion of dinner the boys walked us back to our dorm and I hugged Grant and Jonas goodnight before leaving the girls to chat with their crushes. I noticed Zachary standing in the back of our friends while I walked into our room. His face looked bored by their interactions, but his eyes showed a different emotion. Zachary has the best royal mask but having been friends for so long and dated for a while I had learned to read his eyes. His eyes in that moment showed jealousy. Stop. I remind myself that I need to stop thinking about him, he doesn't care about me and even if he is jealous it doesn't have anything to do with me.

Once in my room I shut the door and get out my pajamas before heading to the bathroom for a shower. When I get out the girls were back in the room preparing for bed. We all climbed into our beds and sat up chatting for a bit before we all decided that we should call it a night. With the lights off and the girls all asleep, I lay in my bed wondering if coming to MIP was a good idea. My last thought before falling asleep was that hopefully there would be no incidents this year.

I just wanted to say sorry again! I hope you all liked the chapter. I'm sorry if the writing style changed any. I have some ideas already for another chapter or two so those may be coming very soon. As always let me know what you think! Thanks for the support!

Lots of Love,
