Chapter 2

~next day~

"CLASS DISMISSED!" Roz shouted at the end of class.

Chaz and I rushed to the dorms. "So…." He said.

"Um…." I said. "Why are you sweating?"

"Why are you blushing?"

"AM NOT!" we shouted at the same time. "ARE TOO!"

Liberty caught up to us. "What is this all about?" she asked.

"Nothing. I said running away embarrassed and crying as other people had seen the argument about the sweating and blushing.

A few minutes later Liberty and Chaz walked in, Liberty giggling and Chaz looking as if he got something off his chest.

"H- hi Arya," she said bursting out laughing.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Chaz-Chaz likes-" Lib started.

"Stunting!" Chaz interrupted as a bead of sweat trickled down his head yet again.

"well, yea, I kind of knew that….. excuse me, please don't disturb me," I said running outside.

I made it all the way to the boat times they had scheduled for the month and thought about leaving. The time I've been here, 1 DAY I felt embarrassed and like I made a major fool of myself already. I made my decision and signed my name for tomorrow after school. I felt so bad that I signed where I was going as The Uncharted Isles, where cavemen and cavewoman live, so since they all make fools of themselves, I figured I would fit in perfectly. I walked into the girls dorm and packed all my bags as soon as I made sure I was alone. I took the bags into the school building and hid them in a completely separate and hidden room. Then I made sure I had the spare key to get into the building after it was closed.

I went back to the dorms and tried to act cool; I was kind of nervous.

"Hey guys, I'm kind of tired so I'm going to bed a little early."

"Ok," they said.

"Bye," I said.

"Bye?" Chaz asked suspiciously.

"Oh…. I mean goodnight."

~ Later ~

I had not yet fallen to sleep. Tonight's activity for the boys was talking about who they were taking to the Halloween dance. I listened closely to what they were saying. Buddy whispered and said he might be taking Liberty and I giggled. I got out of bed and decided I had my friends here and I couldn't leave. I crept through the halls and opened the door, heading to where the boat would be waiting the next day. I erased my name and all, and quietly entered the school building. I got my luggage and ran out the door. I forgot to return one thing: the spare key. But I didn't know that. Just as I was entering the dorm, Travis asked Chaz who he was taking. He whispered, but I could still hear him: "Arya. But don't tell her, she doesn't even know I you know what her."

I was deliberately good at mimicking voices. In Summer's voice, I said: "Busted," and ran to the girls room. Conveniently, Summer was just walking past the room but Chaz opened the door just as Summer was saying "Hi Arya," and Chaz saw both of us. "Busted," I whispered under my breath, out of breath.

"ARYA! I thought you were asleep!" Chaz said scrambling to get into some 'cool position'

I was, but I heard you guys were talking about who you're taking with you to the Halloween dance next Friday. Confess, I heard you say it anyways." By now, all the girls had gathered around. The boys were asking the girls they had chosen. Travis said:"Summer go to the dance with me, please?"she giggled and said yes. Buddy confessed saying:"Liberty, go with me!"

"Chaz, embarrassed, asked me, before he could finish I said yes. His warm, playful smile tinkered with me and I kind of stared into space for a minute. All the boys had asked all the girls. All had a dance partner. Except Lindsey, who rushed to our room, crying and locking the door. I ran to the main school building and got Roz's attention.

"Oh, did you hear about the new student enrollment?" Roz asked. "Or did you just want to wake your teacher up in the middle of the night?"

"Lindsey's the only one who didn't get asked to the dance. Is the new student a boy?"

"how did you know?" Roz said. "He's actually a friend of Lindsey's if I recall, and he's coming in the morning… his name is Nathan Frankfurt… now go to sleep …"

Nathan Frankfurt…. Is he a hot dog? Doubt it, I thought.

In my dreams that night- or in my nightmare, should I say, it wasn't my favorite thing.

"Chaz? Where are you?" I called frantically.

"over here, Arya."

I ran and found Chaz.

"Now!" he screamed. I will attack you! You shall die!"

I woke up. Chaz was mischievously staring down at me.

"Chaz, I guess your gonna say this now," I cleared my throat and mimicked his voice.

"Got you scared there, huh Arya?"

"GEEZ your good at that," the real Chaz said. "Hey want to turn the school building into an awesome party place for the dance tonight? What is with Lindsey! She left you three," Chaz said pointing to the snoring Lib and Summer, "On the couches."

"Yea," I said sitting up. "I probably won't be able to move my neck for a while. No wait! I can poof a back machine in here, at least!"

"and?" Chaz said.

"A foot massager…" I grumbled.

~ in the school building.

"So I put the dance floors over here?" I said.

"Yup, and what about the DJ stand right here?" Chaz said pointing.

"Cool," I said."We're done." Chaz and I ran outside, just in time for the early students (Summer and Travis) to come in. They saw us and clapped for joy at the perfect party location. Shortly after, Lindsey went inside and the rest of us (Chaz, Roz, Lib, and Buddy) went to the boat to wait for Nathan. We saw a boat arrive and a boy with dark hair and tan skin walk off the boat.

"Yo," Nathan said. "I'm Nate, now, where's Lindsey I'm going to surprise her and ask her to the dance."

"Inside," I said.

~ inside

"Oh my gosh Nate! Is that really you?" Lindsey said, being pulled into a tiny hug.

"Yup, your buddy from the Capital Island." He looked at me."Hey, aren't you- aren't you …. Duchess Beverly's daughter? We all thought you were dead!"

"No … I'm not her daughter. I was born on Cowboy Junction. She lives in Cutopia!" I said

"No Arya…. You are the daughter of Beverly." Roz said.

My jaw dropped. "That means …"

"You're grandfather is King. King Roland. You're father is, indeed dead."

"He's what?" I said.
