Will You Let Me Be Your Princess, My Darling Prince?
by Artemis
Part Five
I walked past two rooms and found Rei's room. Number
fifteen. I was about to knock on the door when I heard
voices from room fourteen.
"Did you see her? She was flirting with that guy.
I can't believe it!"
"Well, what else do you expect from someone who came
from Crossroads Junior High?"
"Don't be mean! Usagi isn't like that!" I heard Janice
defending me.
I sighed in relief. At least Janice was still my friend.
"But you have to admit, he was pretty cute."
"And Usagi was walking with him."
"And I'm sure she isn't rich herself. She doesn't even
know how to talk properly."
"Well, neither can I." Janice defended me once again.
"But you're fun to be with. Usagi isn't exactly Miss Talkative."
"She's too quiet."
"I bet you she thinks that she's too good for us. That's
why she doesn't talk to us."
"It's not like being a famous ice skater is everything."
"Yeah."
"Janice, I can't believe you still think she's your friend."
"She was my only friend when I started skating. And she is
good at it. And I'm sure she isn't conceited."
"How can you be sure? She hasn't even tried to be friends
with anyone."
"Rei said Usagi was nice."
"Rei? What does she know? She's a rich girl who has
everything."
"Come on Janice, you can't expect everything to stay the
same once you become famous."
"I guess." Janice was giving in.
She was being convinced by two girls who didn't even know
me. I wanted to burst in the room and save Janice.
"Janice, you can hang around with us at school okay?"
"We'll teach Usagi a lesson!"
"You guys......" Janice mumbled.
"Look Janice, you don't have to be part of it."
"Besides, it's always fun picking on a commoner. Trust me."
I stood in between Rei's door and room fourteen. Was that
what everyone thought of me? Just a commoner girl who found
fame and fortune because of my skating? I hated it. I hated
how people judged. I knew it would end up like this. I knew
it. Tears began to blur my vision. I walked back to my room
and lay down on my bed. I changed into my pyjamas. I didn't
even know if I was supposed to have dinner or not. I was sure
that those girls were going to make everything hard for me.
Everywhere I went, they'd say something or do something. I had
met those types of girls before. One girl was jealous of me
because I got chosen to do her part because she couldn't spin
properly in a performance. She used to swap my skates or ruin
my skating wear or spread rumours about me. I had enough of her
and Janice became my friend. I was scared of being alone. Janice
saved me. If Janice goes, who will save me? Mamoru? Would Mamoru
save me from being alone? Would he save me from those girls and
their jealousy? My brain was so confused. And so was my heart.
