Chapter 7- The Prince Declares Love
The bright morning light shone bright all over, making it hard for me to stay sleeping. I sat up and looked around the room and saw the two boys on either side of me. Sighing quietly, I stared at them for a moment. It's no wonder they're so enclosed in their own world, I thought as I looked at them. They're identical down to the way they sleep, each of them were laying on their backs, on leg straight out hanging over the edge of the bed on either side. Both with their heads turned facing the middle, where I was sitting, and slightly drooling.
I smiled slightly at them when I looked at the clock, seven in the morning and an alarm went off waking both the twins. Hikaru reached for the alarm clock and shut it off while he shook Kaoru awake, funny I always thought Kaoru would be waking Hikaru up for sleeping in. Kaoru sat up, glaring at his brother before they both realized I was in the room.
"Good morning," I smiled warmly at the two boys who had just woken up.
"Good morning," they smiled back at me.
I got up from the bed and rummaged through my bag, grabbing the yellow and white uniform I had to wear to this school. "I'm gonna shower," I said while walking to the en suite shutting the door behind me. Quickly hopping into the shower making sure to wash my hair and body, I got out and towel dried my body. I pulled my hair up into the towel and let it dry while I slipped on my undergarments, I looked around for a hair dryer and luckily I found one. Taking my hair out of the towel and blow drying it, making sure it didn't get frizzy or tangle up my curls. Once my hair was dry I put on my school uniform, except the socks and shoes, and walked out of the bathroom. The boys had left the room and I went downstairs to the dining area to see a plethora of food on the table.
"We didn't know what you'd like for breakfast," the twins smiled. "So, we asked them to make everything."
"You guys," I tried not to blush for humility. "I only eat half a bagel in the morning."
They stared at me for a few minutes before laughing, they laughed so hard tears welled up in their eyes. After eating breakfast we headed to school.
In the morning class I sat between the twins with Haruhi on the other side of Kaoru. I was listening to the lecture in math about co tangents and co sines and other boring math stuff when a note landed on my desk, I looked up at Hikaru who smiled warmly at me before continuing his notes.
I unfolded the neatly folded paper and it read: Lets go do something today after the club meeting, we could leave early. There was a cute smiley face at the end of the sentence and I wrote back: Sure, but won't Kyoya have our heads? I passed the note back to Hikaru and he smiled, trying not to laugh and quickly wrote back:Oh well.
I smiled at him and went back to taking my notes. I felt eyes on me when I turned my head and saw Kaoru looking at me and then looking at Hikaru. I tilted my head as I tried to read what his eyes were saying, is he jealous? I sighed, he must be jealous that I'm stealing his brothers attention. I thought as I mouthed to him if he was okay. He just simply nodded his head and returned to taking his notes.
Lunch came quickly and we went to the dining hall, well I was dragged to the dining hall. Hikaru and Kaoru thought Haruhi and I should go with them where ever they went, even though we had packed our own lunches. I sat down at an empty table with Haruhi as I unpacked my lunch. It was nothing special just a turkey sandwich with some fruits, veggies and cookies for dessert. Hikaru sat beside me and Kaoru sat on the other side of Haruhi.
"Thats your lunch," he said in disbelief.
"Yeah," I looked down at my small lunch and then to his exquisite meal.
"Commoners, are so weird." He muttered, taking a bite of his food.
"Says the rich person," I countered. "We don't have the luxury to afford food like that everyday." I rolled my eyes at him, clearly annoyed by his ignorance.
After sitting quietly for a few minutes a group of boys approached us, "excuse me, miss Scarlett?"
I looked up at them, my mouth full of food. "Yes?"
"We are to give you these," one of the boys said and placed down a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates, jewelry, clothing, and shoes.
I sat there, mouth wide open as the group placed these items down in front of me. "I'm sorry," I said composing myself. "I cannot accept all this."
"Our lord, Prince Casimir, has given these to you as gifts." They said, before quickly walking away so I couldn't protest again.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with all this? Prince Casimir? Why would a prince buy me all of this?
Hikaru and Kaoru sat there silently, a look of shock on their faces from the moments that just happened. Haruhi stared at me, and then to the gifts, then back at me clearly looking for a reaction from me. I just stared blankly, at the beautiful gifts I had just received.
"You okay?" Haruhi finally spoke.
"I think I'm going to faint," I said simply. "Who the hell is Prince Casimir?"
"Beats me, I thought you'd know since he bought you all these lovely gifts." She said matter of factly.
I carried the bags of gifts as best as I could to class, luckily Haruhi helped me since the twins had sped off somewhere. They didn't even say a word, just got up and left me and Haruhi alone to carry the bags. Once we got to the classroom the twins were already in seats, moving them around so they were sitting together.
"Hey Haruhi," Hikaru motioned to her. "Sit next to me."
Okay, ouch.
She looked at me and placed the bags by my newly assigned seat according to Hikaru and Kaoru. I sat down looking at her worriedly, her eyes just gave me reassurance and without saying anything I knew she would talk to them.
Quickly taking out a piece of paper I quickly wrote, Why are they suddenly ignoring me? I passed it to Haruhi, and she read it quickly. She wrote down something and then slid it onto my desk. I unfolded it and it read: Dunno, I'll find out right now. Gimme a minute.
I looked up at Haruhi, who was quickly writing another note and passed it to the twins.
The read it, and I pretended not to notice that they are reading it. Kaoru was writing back and quickly passed it to Haruhi. I looked up at them and Hikaru was staring at me, we made awkward eye contact before we both turned down and began writing class notes.
Haruhi slid another paper onto my desk: They're idiots.
I looked at her quizzically, what did they say to her?
Class ended and I stormed out of the room as quickly as I could with all the bags I was carrying, I was very mad. They couldn't just decide to not talk to me for no reason. I felt so special because of them one moment, and so closed off from them another. They really are idiots. I stomped my way to music room 3 and slammed the doors open. I huffed as I threw the expensive and heavy bags of things onto the floor.
"Is everything alright Scar," Honey asked me.
I just shook my head, "no it's not."
"Whats with the bags," the barely spoken Mori asked.
"Some prince guy had his group of minions give them to me during lunch." I said. Wait a minute, they stopped talking to me after lunch. Don't tell me their jealous?
"A prince?" The whole group, excluding the twins and Haruhi said in unison.
"Yeah, a prince." I sighed. "I don't know why though."
"What is this princes name?" Kyoya asked, taking out his reservation book.
"Um, something like Prince Casimir?" I said, cooling down.
"Well," Kyoya said simply. "You'll find out today, he has reserved you and took up all the slots for the hour."
"He took up all four spots?" I sighed.
"Yes," Kyoya said. "It still counts as one though, since he is only one person."
I nodded my head, "Okay, well let me go change into my costume."
Today we were dressing as if we were in Ancient Egypt. Tamaki was dressed as a Pharaoh with a very detailed headdress and a skirt that went above his knees with no shirt on. Kyoya was dressed similar, except without the royal headdress. The twins were dressed as soldiers, in white skirts with the matching headbands. Mori and Honey were dressed as noblemen. Haruhi was dressed in a white loose robe with a similar headband to the twins. I took out my black robe like dress that went to the floor, it was silky and beautiful. I wore my hair down in its natural waves and put on the gold elaborate head piece that and a carving of an Egyptian Cobra on it. I did my make up according to the picture on the mirror, making sure to do it as perfect as possible. Once finished, I truly looked like an Ancient Egyptian princess.
I walked out of the dressing room and went to the front entrance with everyone else, once the doors opened for business we all said, "welcome."
We each dispersed and sat at our tables or couches, entertaining the people that had booked us for the hour. I waited patiently for my honored guest, and for a while he didn't arrive. Finally, after twenty minutes of waiting he walked in. Clad in the typical school uniform, with blue eyes and jet black hair he walked toward me. Smiling widely as he did, his perfect white teeth showing. The girls swooned at he walked by, unsure how someone as good looking as him wasn't apart of the host club. He grabbed my hand and kissed it softly, "It is a pleasure to officially meet you Scarlett."
Prince Casimir sat down across from me, his eyes slowly going up and down my body stopping to meet my gaze. He licked his lips slowly, and began to speak. His voice was smooth and soft, it fit the way he looked. "I knew from the moment I saw you, you would be mine." His voice cocky, full of arrogance. I took a sip of my teas as he said, "Miss Scarlett, I am in love with you."
The room grew silent. The twins glared at him, Kyoya glared at him. The rest of the room sat waiting, anticipating the moment I would answer. I began to cough abruptly, chocking on the tea because of the word he had just said. I felt my eyes tear up, and my chest began to hurt. His face full of concern, I put a finger up to tell him to wait and that I was okay.
Finally composing myself I managed a, "why?"
He smiled, his chest filling with pride. "You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes upon. The way your hazel eyes glisten in the sun light, the way your gorgeous curls blow in the wind, your flawless skin." I scoffed when he said flawless skin, and all the other bull shit he was spewing at me.
"You just like the way I look," I said bluntly causing his arrogance and pride to leave his eyes, and he de-puffed his chest. "You cannot love someone you do not know." I looked at him, challenging him to say otherwise.
"I do know you," he countered, trying to prove a point. Trying to claim that I belonged to him simply because he said so.
"No, you don't know anything about me." I said once again.
"I love you." He argued, grabbing both of my hands.
