{Give me some comments, they feed my motivation hehe:)}

Paige

I woke up, the ray of noon sunlight filled my room. I felt so groggy, I sat up and held my head. "Ahh!" it felt as if it's being hammered into pieces. I looked at my bedside and found a pain reliever and a glass of water.

"Finally you're awake." Aicko entered the room.

I buried my head back in my pillow and curled up my body. "My head hurts!" I complained.

"Of course it hurts! You're so stupid" She palmed my forehead. "How could you get drunk so easily?"

Got drunk? "I got drunk?!" No way! I never get drunk, Aiden and I made a vow when we were younger to not get drunk because other than the fact that we hate the taste of alcohol, we both agreed that we didn't want to do things stupid if ever we got drunk. Now look at me now! I'm sorry mom.

"Oh yes you did Missy!" She handed me the glass of water. "Guess who brought you home." She smiled at me.

My eyes widened. "You didn't bring me home?!" She shook her head giggling.

Then who brought me home? I tried to recall. I recalled Carter sitting beside me, and I took two sips on some alcohol then I dragged him towards the dance floor, but what happened next? I can't seem to remember.

"Did Carter drive me home?" I wondered.

"What? No!" Aicko laghed. "Blake did."

"What?!" I sat down on my bed because of the shock. "How did he bring me home? That's impossible. I don't remember him from last night."

"Well obviously the alcohol got the best of you."

"Ugh!" I buried my face once again in the pillow. Did I possibly do anything stupid when I was with him?! Did I throw up infront of him? Did I say something wrong?! Where's my cake?! I probably left it at the club.

"Stop stressing." Aicko laughed as she patted my back. She obviously enjoys my state right now. "It happens to everyone."

"But I never expected it to happen to me." I closed my eyes when I felt a searing pain in my head. "Damn these headaches."

"What would you expect after getting drunk?" Aicko handed me a glass of water. " You should wash up and eat." She then left the room.

After I drank the water I stood up to brush my teeth. I met Aicko in the dining room when I finished. She ordered some breakfast from room service, well technically lunch since it's already half past noon.

I was considering staying in my room the whole day while Aicko and Shari watch the rest of the games when I remembered something. "Shit! It's Aiden's game today!"

"You sure you're in a good shape to watch?" Aicko eyed me.

"Of course I am!" I started eating faster. "Now hurry up."

Although my head hurts and my body isn't in the best condition, I would never miss my bestfriend's game for the world. He was always there for me. I want to be there for him.

______________________________

The games went on. Aicko got tasked by the student council to tend to one of the souvenir stands that are located by the sides of the Sport's fields. Since I didn't have anymore games, Shari and I decided to join Aicko and spend the day giving out food and drinks to players and selling merchandise to people who wants watch.

"Thankyou!" A girl form a different school said when I handed her a Tshirt that had Ram's surname and player number on it.

When she left I turned to Shari who looks like she's gonna explode any second. I laughed. Her face expression immediately changed when she saw the person behind me.

I turned around and found out why.

"Hi!" Ram cheerfully said. Kile stood beside him and smiled at me. No Blake. I exhaled.

"Hi!" I peeked at Shari who immediatley left to attend other customers. I hid a smile and turned back to Ram. "There anything you like?"

"Hmmm..." Ram thought. When a mischievous smirk appeared on his face I knew there was something up. His eyes searched around the stand. "I don't think what I want is here." He crossed his arms.

"What do you want exactly?"

He smiled. What is this guy thinking? "I want some of your cake."

My jaw dropped. "What do you mean?" How did he know that I made a cake?

"Please." He pleaded. "How come you gave Blake a whole box and you didn't gave us anything." He frowned and crossed his arms acting as if he's upset. "Blake wouldn't share it with us."

Kile frowned. "I never asked for any, you were the one who desperately pleaded for a slice."

"Dude, are we in this together or not?" Ram looked at Kile. "If she gives me cake, I'm not sharing with you."

Then it hit me. So Blake got my cake, but how did he get it? Did I give it to him?

"Hmmp, You're picking favorites now." Ram acted like a baby.

I rolled my eyes. "Are you guys going to buy anything or not?"

"Actual-" Ram was cut off short when someone else came to our stand. "Ok, I'm gonna go now." Ram immediately walked away with Kile. "You owe me a cake for my birthday Paige!" He called and left.

Now I'm left with this guy standing infront of me. God he's so tall. My cheeks heated because of embarrassment. I suddenly became interested in the caps that lay on the table infront of the stand.

My eyes widened when he knocked on the table. I had no choice. I looked up at him and I swear that my cheeks are bright red right now.

I coughed to ease the tension. "Yes?" I'm a horrible seller.

"Is that how you treat your master?" Blaked raised his eyebrow.

He's talking to me now? Why? Did he forgive me already?

I faked a cough to ease the tension. "Actually I'm treating you sir as a customer." I faked a smile. "Now how may I help you?"

"I don't know what to get." He crossed his arms.

I rolled my eyes. Is he pissing me off?! "Well then if you're not going to get anything then it's best you leave." I gestured my hand to shoo him away.

He crossed his arms. "You know, you're a lot nicer when you're drunk."

I glared at him when he said that. "Don't remind me of it, it was my mistake to get drunk, and I don't remember anything, so if I ever said something, best you forget it." It was the safest answer. "I'm sure I didn't mean it."

"I'm sure you did." He picked up mini football that's the size of a golf ball and he threw it up in the air and caught, doing it over and over again. He's wasting my time.

I banged the table. "I'm going to ask you one last time." I took a deep breathe to contain my patience. "What do you want?"

I took a step backwards when he pointed at me. "I want the puppy."

What the hell?! I was about to yell at him when he spoke again.

"The brown one."

I scrunched my forehead and turned around. My mouth formed an O when I realized that he was pertaining to the small stuffed toy puppies on the shelf behind me. They were wearing uniforms of our school.

And I assumed again! Stupid Paige so stupid! I muttered to myself as I walked to the shelf and got one brown puppy.

I went back to the front and checked it's price and wrapped it in a paper bag. Why does this big guy want a puppy?! Maybe he really is pissing me off or maybe he has someone to give it too. Whoever it is it's none of my business.

"What's with the face." He pointed to my face.

"Just shut up." I shoved the paper bag into his arms.

He chuckled. "Did you actually think that when I said puppy, I was pertaining to you?"

"Of course not!" I defended myself even if what he said was true.

"Good, besides why would I want you? You're too ugly." He laughed. Anger boiled up inside me. I was about to let out my rage at him when he picked up a cat ear headband that had his face on the ears.

I frowned when he placed it on my head. "There, that's better." The next I knew was that he was walking away.

God he loves making me hate him.

__________________________

The sport's tournament went on. Aicko and Shari were always busy doing this, doing that so I tagged along. Before I knew it, the tournament ended and we were back to regular classes.

"Hi girl, I missed you." I patted Nutmeg's mane. It's been a while since I've seen her. I saddled up and took her for a walk around the riding range.

Kile taught me well enough for me to learn how to maneuver my horse properly and safely. The other student's were running around with their horse. I slowly rode Nutmeg through the track. Not because I couldn't make her run but because I wanted to feel the cool Californian breeze brush against my skin. It felt relaxing.

I looked to the horse that rode by my side. "Hi Lune!" I greeted the White Stallion beside us.

"You aren't going to say Hi to me?" Kile asked.

I laughed. I got to say it. He's finally getting some humor in him.

"Follow me." Kile held on Lune's reigns and rode his horse out of the riding range and through the forest trees. I followed him. We went through a narrow path through the tall trees.

"Where are we going?"

He kept his eyes on what's ahead. "You'll see."

As we went deeper into the forest I soon got a glimpse of the light ahead. When we got to the other side my mouth dropped at the view. We were on top of a green grassy hill, bellow us were fields of flowers and grass, a river streamed down bellow and rays of sunshine covered the earth.

"It's beautiful." I whispered. I turned to Kile who was off his horse. I came down Nutmeg and we both tied our horses to a near by branch. I followed him to the edge of the hill where we got a beautiful glimpse of the afternoon sun and the glorious horizon.

I sat down on the soft grass, he did the same. I felt the strong breeze against my hair. "I love this place."

"I knew you would." He chuckled.

"You always go here don't you?"

He nodded. "I like going here alone, it makes me feel at peace."

"Then why'd you bring me along?" I raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled again but didn't answer my question.

"You know." I brushed my hands through the soft grass. "You have a beautiful kingdom."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"This whole place will soon fall into your hands." I pointed to the horizon. "Your kingdom."

He looked at the view. "It's as much as mine as it is yours."

I smiled at what he said. "If you don't mind asking, what kind of king do you aspire to be?"

He kept silent.

I could understand if he didn't want to answer. It was quite a personal question.

I got shocked when he started to speak.

"I'd want to be someone who's not like my father." He took a deep breathe. "I don't want to be like any of the other kings out there."

"Why." I said in a hushed town.

"I don't want to be the king who sits on the throne all day, the king who sleeps in a bed of gold and fine silks, the king who wears a crown of jewelries, the king who's appraised by his people just because of his title, the king who says that everything's fine when infact his Kingdom's a mess, the king who claims to worry about his Kingdom but in reality has his head filled with fame, power and poise. I don't want to be the king who orders people around and watch as his people work, his knights fight and just sit down on his throne and get all the credit."

My eyes widened at what he said but I kept silent.

"I want to be the King, who'd be able to willingly offer his food to the hungry and shelter the homeless. The King who listens to his people instead of keeping himself hidden behind the majestic walls of the palace. The king who gets to fight side by side his Knights instead of sitting on his throne while his people do the dirty work. The king who brings justice to his subjects, who makes sure the voices of his people are heard and not silenced.

He paused for a moment. I want to be the king who doesn't sit on his throne to rule but to lead. I don't want to rule my people, I want to be one with my people."

I kept getting surprised after every word he spoke. That was the longest time I've ever heard him speak. Never has it occurred to me that this cold hearted Prince had those thoughts in mind. Never. "You know what." I looked at him.

He turned to me.

"I know you'll make a great King."

I expected him to not answer but he did.

"I hope I will."

Suddenly a loud bell tolled echoing threw the whole campus. I got goosebumps at the sound of it.

"Shit." Kile exclaimed. "Get up." He didn't wait for me to stand, he pulled me up from the ground. "We have to go." He saddled up on Lune and I did the same on Nutmeg.

"What's going on?" He's scaring me.

He looked me in the eye. "Rebels."

"Here?!"

He nodded. I didn't need him to say anything more. We both raced through the woods to get back to the riding range.

"There you two are!" Our riding instructor exclaimed. When we emerged from the woods.

All of them were already standing infront of the bus that would take us back to school. Worry was plastered on their face.

Kile came down from his horse, I followed.

"Oh I'm so glad you're safe!" Khrysie ran to him and hugged him. "Lonnie was worried about you, right Lonnie?"

"Where did you guys go?" Eloise appeared beside me.

"Uhm just through the woods." I didn't want to expose Kile's secret sanctuary.

"Good thing the rebels didn't find you."

"How did they come in?" I asked.

"No one knows, all we know is that some of them are here." My heart thudded fast.

We all rode the bus going back to the Campus. Many Knights were positioned around the School. They let us past through the gates and we entered.

"Paige!" Aicko and Shari's voice echoed the second I stepped into the School. "You're safe."

"Nothing really happened."

"But something could've." Shari clung to my arm.

"The Knights announced that Rebels were spotted to have entered the campus, so the Dean called all the Knights to secure the school and she's sending us all back to our dorms early." Aicko said.

Shari sighed. "She even assigned Knights to watch over the royals."

Suddenly, a large group of Knights entered the room, each going to a royal student. I saw 5 Knights gather around Kile as he entered. Another five gathered around Bellona. Looks like each Royal gets 5 Knights each.

We were then called to the auditorium. All of the students from our school gathered up. The dean told us not to panic and told us strictly not to leave our dorms. The Dean even announced that dormitories would be combined meaning, the men from the male billionaires dormitory will be moving to ours. Aicko said that the school does this move to avoid the risk of our safety and to monitor us better. Both male and femake royalties were also combined.

Afterwards. Shari, Aicko and I went inside Aicko's car and drove to our dorm. Many Knights stood guard on the road towards the square. Although today's just a normal day. The atmosphere was indeed gloomy. When we arrived at the square, my mouth dropped. It was empty. No student was walking, no shop lights were opened. It looked so different. The Dean made a shut down to the whole square to make sure that no student would leave their dorms.

Knights stood infront of our building. One Knight opened our car doors and we entered the dorm. As we walked in the dorm lobby, many boys with suitcases crowded forming a line towards the lobby desk. Like the Dean said, they were all Billionaires.

I gasped when someone covered my eyes as I walked through our dorm lobby.

"Guess who?"

Not again! "Stop it Aiden!"

He laughed and took his hands off my eyes. "Guess were in the same building now."

"Apparently."

"Hey Aiden!" Aicko greeted. "Where's your dorm room?"

"Same floor as yours." He showed us his new temporary room key.

"Nice." Aicko checked her watch. "You and Paige should hang out, I need to go to my student council meeting."

My eyes widened. "Where?"

"Relax Paige, just on the 11th floor of the building." She checked her watch again. "You two should eat without me, I'll be late."

I just nodded and she left. I turned to Aiden. "Lets go."

We rode the elevator to our room floor, I joined him to his temporary room and he left his suitcase there. We then went to my dorm room.

Aiden, just like the childish person that he is immediately jumped on the sofa and opened the tv screen.

"Wow! Is this your dorm?!" I frowned.

"Hehe." He gave me a peace sign.

I went to my room and changed into my comfy clothes which is a loose shirt and pajamas. I didn't care even if Aiden was there, he's used to seeing me like this, not to mention that I have a blurry memory of seeing a 4 year old him running around his house in diapers. I laughed at what I was thinking.

"Are you hungry?" I asked Aiden who made himself a little too comfortable on the couch, he already opened a bag of chips which probably belonged to Aicko, and he covered himself with a blanket which I don't know where he got it from.

When he didn't answer, I walked towards him and stood infront of the TV.

"Hey do you mind?" He complained.

"I don't" I rolled my eyes. "Are you hungry?"

"Nope." He shook his head. "Now could you move?"
