~Chapter 2: First Meeting~
Sunday passed by in a blur, as I repeated my chores over and over like usual. It was Monday and I was walking to school.
Huntington Academy was not like any other school, it was built for rich and made for rich people like I stated previously. It had four floors and the lunch room or "grand hall" as they called it was something like a restaurant.
The seats were real comfy and the service was excellent. The uniforms were a white collar and long sleeve button up shirt, a navy blue long sleeve jacket and a blue short skirt with checked patterns of navy blue and white. The Academy had plenty of extracurricular activities such as swimming, track and musical instruments and so on.
I wasn't apart of anything, though it would be cool to try ice skating sometime. I tried to make friends but they thought they were too good for me. I had met one though, she was in tenth grade, we were pretty tight, but then she abruptly moved.
I was in my second week of school, in my Junior year. I'm still sixteen and I'm somewhat loving it. When was the last time, I celebrated my birthday? I couldn't remember as I thought about it all the way to my locker.
I quickly went to the bathroom and used what little makeup I had to cover my under eye bags and to make myself appear more awake. I was alone in the bathroom, and usually one to arrive early.
I heard laughter as three girls came into the bathroom. I had already put everything up and was on my way out when one of them tripped me. I quickly caught myself.
"Hey! What was that for?" I said glaring at them.
I found out then they were the from the popular click, and judging from the way they inappropriately wore their uniforms, I was right.
"Just because I felt like it." She laughed and continued on her way, "Better watch it girl." she added with a threatening tone. I rolled my eyes and left.
Class was going to start in five minutes. A stream of screaming girls rushed passed me almost knocking me over. "Move outta the way!"
and "He's pulling up now!" was all I heard. I decided to go see what the fuss was about as I joined a whole crowd of screaming fans in the front doorway of the school.
Several black limo circled the roundabout until a white one came out. It stopped and someone in a suit opened the door. Who stepped out made my breath hitch. He short gray hair that ended a little above his shoulders.
His eyes held a cold expression but they were the most beautiful light purple I've ever seen. His school uniform seemed to fit him perfectly. He closed his eyes and had an annoyed expression that might be due to this huge crowd of girls screaming, "ZERO!, ZERO!"
"Move, you're in our way!" I recognized that voice as Lily as she and forcefully pushed me out of the way. But instead of falling back I was roughly shoved toward the front and someone ended up kicking me in the side.
I hadn't noticed that I was literally at Zero's feet, until i opened my eyes. He stretched his hand out to help me up, just then our eyes locked together. His eyes still held that annoyance, but it was toned down. I felt some type of connection between us.
The crowd around us went silent.
I grabbed his hand and he gently pulled me up. I quickly realized that this must be the Prince everyone has been talking about. I bowed politely and said, "Thank you, your Highness." I noticed that his shirt collar hid some sort of interesting tattoo and I was very curious as to what it could be.
"Your welcome, are you alright?" He asked. His voice was a bit cold, but a bit worried at the same time.
For a split second I wanted to tell him not really and explain everything to this stranger for some odd reason, but I couldn't...
"I'm okay, thank you." I smiled my brightest smile and said, "Welcome to Huntington Academy!"
