During the year Syrus and Jaden became closer. They made new friends, Chumley, Alexis,her brother, Bastion, Chazz(maybe), and professor Banner. Syrus was even more happier then he ever was. But summer came closer and closer when it fainally came.
"So Sy I'll miss you during summer. Maybe I can see your house sometime" Jaden said while he packed up.
"Uhhhh...I don't think you can" Syrus said also packing up his things.
"Why's that?" Chumley asked.
"Well...my parents don't like visitors" Syrus said.
"I can understand that" Jaden said. "Hey guys, you ever wonder what the castel looks like?" Jaden asked suddenly. The boys went to the cliff and layed down.
"So do you?" Jaden asked again.
"Well sometimes I do. But why wonder when you will never will get a look" Chumley said. Syrus stayed silent.
"Hey Sy you ever wonder?" Jaden asked looking up at the clouds.
"Well...sometimes" Syrus said. They stayed there for a while when they heard a shout.
"Jaden, Syrus, Chumly! TIME TO GO!" Bastion yelled. Bastion kept yelling. They quickly got up and ran down to their friend.
"Bastion your going to lose your voice like that" the 3 said in unison.
"Well it got you down here faster" Alexis said. They walked to the front of the school, where people were being picked up and hugged and kissed. I hope they don't come here with anything so...well...Syrus' thoughts were intrupted.
"My mom's here bye guys hope to see you soon!" yelled Jaden.
"BYE JADEN!" they all yelled. Then Chumly left, then fainally Syrus saw one of his maids yelling..
"OVER HERE PRI-" she yelled when Syrus came running as fast as he could and covered her mouth.
"Shhhhh, Cammie. No one knows I'm the prince." Syrus whispered to her. Cammie nodded and went in the car. Syrus was the only person in his family that knew all the servant's names. He was happy about that. He went in the car and didn't see Zane.
"Hey Where's Zane?" Syrus asked.
"He's riding with the King and Queen, Prince Syrus" his friend Lucy said.
"I did say when I'm here with no one in my family you guys can call me Syrus" Syrus said.
"Okay Sy" John said. Syrus smiled at them, they were truly his friends.
"So how long till we get there?" Syrus asked.
"I guess 2 hours our something" Lucy said.
"Just to get to the peir!" John said.
"Yeah" Cammie said. They arrived at the castle, Syrus wasn't to happy about it. Now he has to get through his parents saying that he barely passed the test. He entered the castel doors. The queen looked closly into Syrus's eyes. Something was different about them. Syrus just came in without a word and went to the stairs that lead to his room.
"Wait right there son." the king said. Syrus stopped. He looked scared.
"Y-y-yes" Syrus said.
"Why are you in the bottom rank?" the king.Oh great he knows.Syrus thought.
"I-I-I'm not t-that good a-at d-dueling" Syrus said not looking at his father. The king stayed silent. After a while Syrus started to go back to his room when his dad got in front of him and picked Syrus up by his shirt.
"I will not let a son of mine to ruin this family's name because he is bad at dueling. You are not to have dinner unless you can beat...the chef" his father said coldly. Syrus was crying from his loss of air. His dad dropped him on the stairs as Syrus was thankful for air again. His dad left to the other room. His friends came to his aid.
"Sy are you okay?" asked Cammie. Syrus nodded and stood up.
"Oh great no dinner. I'm going to starve" Syrus said.
"You don't know that" Lucy said.
"I have lower grades then my friend Jaden, and he has pretty low grades" Syrus said.
"Well...we'llgive you some of our food" Jonh said.
"No John. You guys need the food more than I do" Syrus said.
"But even if we die. No one would care. Our parents abandoned me here" Cammie said.
"Mine too" John said.
"But Lucy, your parents were forced to right" Syrus said. Lucy nodded.
"And don't say that no one would care. Because I...would" Syrus said. They looked at him.
"I would. You guys are my friends. I don't know what I would do without you" Syrus said. They were unaware that Zane was listening. Syrus fainally went to bed.
The next morning...
Syrus woke up normally. And changed. Went downstairs expecting to see his friends. They weren't there. His dad caught him looking...
"You looking for your friends, they're never coming back. We heard that you have befriended them so we fired them" the king said. Syrus stopped looking. He just stood there. Tears were filling his eyes. He let them fall. Who told you this...WHO!.Syrus thought. He went back to is room.And stayed on his bed crying all he wanted.
"You know I was the one to tell them" he heard Zane said. This made him jump.
"YOU DID...WHY!" Syrus shouted. Zane just stood there never giving the answer.
Summer was fainally over. Syrus never did beat the chef, so he was starving. But all he can think of was his friends. Where they could be, if they're okay. He arrived at the dining room without a word. And left.
He found his friends there. He smiled.
"So Sy how was your summer?" Chumley asked.
"It was fine" No it wasn't it was the worst EVER!no wait when did I ever enjoy time at the castle anyway?.Syrus thought.
"So how was yours Jaden?" Syrus asked.
"It was the greatest!" Jaden yelled.
"Okay..." all his friends said in unison.
