Chapter 4

He Is More Then A King/Talk with Corn Chip Girl

Charlotte wasn't listening to the teacher talk about King Henry, she was thinking about Bob. Why was he so nice to her? Letting her sit up there with him and even acting weird around her? She begins to doddle when the teacher keeps talking. Some girls behind her are laughing about something; Charlotte can't stand when girls talk about other girls. If she was some sort of queen she would stop that, that's for sure. She then looks down and blushes of what she wrote. She drew a big heart, and in the middle she wrote Bob + Charlotte.

Charlotte rips the paper in half, does she like him? She sighs; she never had a boy like her before. Ever. How could this be happening? She swore to never even think about love or anything like that. The bell rings loudly and Charlotte is the last one to leave.

She goes to her locker, what is her homework? English. No she did it in class. Oh Math, of course. She gets her textbook and puts it in her very big purse and slams her locker. She turns and sees Will, he is a pretty popular kid in the 6th grade. He has blonde wavy hair and soft green eyes, very tan skin and is muscular. What is he doing over here?

"Hey Charlotte, going anywhere tonight?"

Charlotte just glares, "Um duh, like my house you idiot. Now if you ex-"

Will just steps in front of her blocking her in, she crosses her arms.

"You know, someone like a stud like me should get with the hot new girl."

Charlotte glares, "Like I would EVER get with you! Now back off!"

"HEY!" A voice comes from behind Charlotte. She can't believe it, it's Bob. But Bob isn't wearing his crown or his cape. He looks normal, like a normal kid.

Will seems a tad shocked, "B-Bob, what are you doing here?"

Bob stands beside Charlotte, "I heard Charlotte yelling and I came to see what was going on. And now I see it's you Will. Why don't you buzz off, or tomorrow I will make sure you are on the dodge ball wall when Lawson and his little friends are there to beat the crap out of you or perhaps I will put you in with the kindergartners when they are hungry."

Will goes to his knees, "No your highness! Anything about that, I promise to leave Charlotte alone for good! I swear."

Bob smirks, "Very good Will. I will make sure you keep that promise." He growls under his breath, "Not get lost."

Will runs away and out the front doors, Charlotte is almost beaming with respect for Bob.

"Wow Bob that was…awesome, I mean…thanks for like helping me."

Bob runs his hand through his hair, "So, you didn't think I was harsh?"

Charlotte begins to walk and he follows her, "What? No way, that was awesome! I mean you should be harsh to kids when they deserve it you know?"

Bob nods, "Yeah, you're right."

They reach the front doors and walk down the steps together, Charlotte has to walk home. Bob's mom however is waiting in her car.

"Her Charlotte? Are you, umm coming to see me tomorrow?"

Charlotte nods Bob smiles to himself and gets in the car. She waves goodbye and walks towards her house. She is in deep thought but hears her name being called, it's corn chip girl. Charlotte must have pasted her house.

"Hey Charlotte, how are you?"

Charlotte sits on the sidewalk's edge, "Not good. I'm like super confused."

Corn chip girl sits by her, "What's going on, is it about Bob?"

Charlotte looks at her, "What? Why would you say that?"

She shrugs, "I think he likes you, I saw the way he stared at you the first day you came, and when you went up there today, he was trying to be nice for you. Usually Bob is a total jerk who is really mean."

Charlotte looks at her shoes, "You don't understand, I promised to never have a boyfriend or even think about liking someone. I saw how brutal love is; my mother and father got a divorced because he cheated on her."

Corn chip girl looks at her sadly, "I'm sorry. But, just because your parents had bad luck doesn't mean you will, I bet Bob would like you even if you looked awful tomorrow!"

Charlotte stands and rolls her eye, "Like that would EVER happen, I wouldn't come to school if I looked bad."

Charlotte walks her way home and Corn chip girl wave's goodbye to her.
