Chapter 5 Prince WHO!

I awoke the next morning to a heavy weight across my waist. My eyes shot open and I bolted up. I looked to John's desk only to see his head lying in a book. My eyes grew wide.

'If John's over there then who's….'

I looked down to see this really cute black kitten sleeping on me.

'So John likes kitties. I've got to remember that one.'

I picked up the cat so it wouldn't wake up and laid it gently on the bed. With that done I grabbed a pillow.

'Lying on that book most be really uncomfortable.'

With this in mind, I walked over and gently holding John's head up and slid the pillow under. For some unknown reason to me I had to play with his hair but I reached out and started pulling my fingers through his hair. I started to get this weird feeling that I couldn't name.

'Ah it's nothing.'

Suddenly I heard John grunt.

'Oh SHIT! How am I going to explain this to him? He's going to freak!'

Instead of him waking he just yawned and shifted his head. I sighed withdrawing my fingers from his hair. I looked at his desk for a piece of paper and pen. Though I found paper, I couldn't find a pen. I did find a feather and ink though. So I started writing him a note:

Dear John,

Thank you so very much for letting me sleep in here. I am truly sorry about last night so I was wondering if you would like to go horseback riding tomorrow. Oh I really think your kitty is cute. Anyway, I've gone back to my room. So if you need me that's where I'll be.

Always

Amanda T.

'There. Now time to get back to my room.'

I got up and left.

When I entered my room I knew I wasn't alone. I closed the door, when I felt something hit me in the side I jumped like 10 feet in the air only to see that it was my dresser. I felt like eyes were watching me once I got to my bed I sat there for a few minutes. All of a sudden someone taps me on the shoulder.

"AHHHHHH!" I jumped

"Hey Amanda what's up?"

My eye kinda started to twitch, "John!" I gritted out as I turned to give John a hard core glare.

"Ok, ok. I'm sorry!" waving his hands in mock defeat.

I laughed until my side hurt. John chuckled along with me.

"So do you want to get some breakfast?"

"Sure." I got up.

John grabbed me by the hand and we were racing down to the dinning hall all the while we were laughing trying to dodge people on our way. Once we got to the hall we were out of breath. Putting my hands on my knees, I took a deep breath.

"That... (Pant)…Was… (Pant)…Fun!"

"Did you see those peoples faces as we passed them?" John started cracking up again.

"Yeah, that was hilarious!" I fell to my knees laughing.

The door to the dining hall opened.

"You're Highness! What are you doing!"

I looked at him strangely. "Pete what did I tell you about calling me that?" John's eyes glared down at Pete.

"I'm sorry my prince but tis king's orders." John heaved a frustrated sigh.

"Well your Highness," I bowed to John mockingly, "I would have never of thought…"

John reached out to me, "Please…"

"NO don't even touch me…..I never thought you to be a liar….. Just a high-class 'boy', to pretend to be a normal middle clad person and make me to believe that you were a true friend….not a LIER." I cried out the last part as I turn and ran.

The tears had begun again though this time for a different reason.

I took off down the hall. I wasn't looking where I was going and ended up crashing into Mandy. Mandy gabbed me, seeing the tears on my face.

"What's wrong?" She looked worried.

"John…John…John…John…he…he…he's…a…a…pppprince!" I wailed.

Mandy pulled back, "You mean he never told you?"

I looked at her furiously, "You knew and knew and you never told me!"

"No I didn't! I had thought that he had already told you."

"No…No…NO!" I started to back away.

"Amanda I'm sorry. I truly am." Mandy reached out for me.

I drew back even more, "No… No you're not! None of you are!" My voice gradually getting louder and louder in panic.

"Amanda!" John's voice came from a distance.

"Amanda, please!" Mandy pleaded.

No…No…NO!" I shook my head, "You all are LIARS! STAY AWAY FROM ME! ALL OF YOU!" I took off running.

Once I got to the stables I hopped on Spirit and rode off.

'How could I have been so blind! How could they have lied to me like that? Why did I let myself trust him? NEVER AGAIN!'
