Ok. I currently still have to do an English mantra, a Math bookmark, a Science brochure and a video for Economics. I also have to review since I have quarter exams for next week but Here's my update!

Better late than never hehee.

"Hurry up!" I pulled Aicko away from the mirror and I dragged her to the door of our dorm.

"Why in such a hurry?" Aicko fixed her heels. "Is your boyfriend waiting for you?" She laughed.

I frowned and flicked my finger on her head. "It's because of Eloise silly, we're making her wait."

"Oh right!" Aicko face palmed her forehead. "Lets go." She got her purse and pulled my arm and led the way out the door.

We greeted the lady at the counter before we exited our dorm building. Shari was waiting for us outside. Together, we road inside Shari's new car which she got for Christmas and we fetched Eloise who was waiting for us in the front of her dorm building.

I opened the door to let her in.

"What took you guys so long?" She entered the car chuckling.

"It's her fault." Shari and I pointed to Aicko making Eloise laugh.

"A new year's here and you still take too long to get ready." She said to Aicko.

We just arrived back from our vacation this morning, after taking a nap for the rest of the day, the school scheduled a concert at the Arena, so that's where all the students are headed.

I watched the sky as the sunset turns into twilight.

When we arrived at the Arena, Shari parked her car at the Arena's parking lot and we all went down. The Open Arena is one of the many arena's here at campus. It's an open field with a huge stage at the front.

When we entered, the place was filled with students and a band was playing.

I smiled when I heard a familiar voice sing.

"Go Aiden!" I cheered. Aicko and the girls cheered as well before we walked towards the back of the arena.

We chose to just stand at the back instead of taking seats at the front. Aicko says that everyone will be jumping when the crowd gets bigger so sitting won't be the best option. Well she has a point.

Eloise on the other hand is used to sitting in the front at events like this but she still goes with us.

Aicko and Shari then left to get food and drinks. I was left with Eloise and we just jumped to the music. Aiden's voice was heard throughout the arena making the girls go wild and scream his name. Well maybe if I wasn't his bestfriend, I'd do the same.

I turned to Eloise who was eyeing the group of squires who's entered the arena. Guess the campus' open again for outsiders.

I laughed and nudged her. "Guess your boy's here." I teased.

She shook her head and looked at me. "Shh." She pressed her finger to her lips. I just kept quiet and kept giggling.

My eyes roamed around the Arena, I spotted Khrysie, Nile, Isabel, and Diana as they entered and head towards the front seats. As usual, Bellona wasn't part of their entourage.

"Here." Shari handed me some food. She and Aicko came back.

"I also got us these." Aicko handed me and Eloise a lightstick each with neon colors.

"You really got us these?" I laughed.

"Duh everyone has it." Aicko pointed to the others and she was right, they were all holding light sticks and they swayed it through the music.

Soon the music became more up beat and everyone started jumping around. I jumped too and sang through the lyrics even if I know they aren't right. Aicko and Shari was screaming wildly, a second there no one would think they were daughter's of world famous billionaire's. Eloise was just laughing but she kept her poise.

I was jumping up and down and screaming my lungs out when I suddenly felt someone behind me.

"Having fun?"

I turned around to see Blake there looking down on me, he was wearing a black hoodie and grey shorts. Looks like he's just arrived.

"Hey." I greeted him in a small voice. I didn't yet figure out how I'm going to treat him now that were, umm...

My eyes widened when he pinched my cheek.

I turned to Ram who was standing beside him. He was holding a box of popcorn in his hands. "You want some?" He offered.

I smiled and took a handful.

"Hi Ram!" Aicko said when she noticed the boys. I turned to Shari who was now facing the ground.

While they chit chatted, The music suddenly changed from. I turned to the stage and realized that Aiden's band was gone. Suddenly a girl walked up the stage with a microphone in her hands.

I couldn't tell who she was since we were quite a distance away from the stage.

She held the mic and from here I could tell that she was shaking, She had thick bangs that covered her face.

Suddenly the music came rolling in which caught the people's attention.She started singing, her voice was a bit shaky and soft even with the mic but it was angelic.

"Who's that?" Aicko and Shari asked in unison.

Eloise said. "I can't tell."

I watched as the girl's bangs covered her eyes. I knew who she was.

"It's Lou." Blake said.

The girls eyes widened. "Lucy?!"

"I didn't know she could sing." Eloise said.

"Well she's pretty good right." Aicko looked at the boys.

Blake looked at Lucy. "Yeah." He said.

"She's ok." Ram looked back at his popcorn.

I suddenly felt a grumble in my tummy. I'm still hungry. Blake and Ram were talking to some squires who just came.

I excused myself from the girls and headed to the food carts which were stationed at the sides of the arena. I stopped by one of the carts and ordered a slice of pizza.

I took a bite on it before walking away. I walked past the the stairs to the arena's rooftop only to see Kile walking down from it.

We came eye to eye when he saw me.

"Hi!" I smiled.

He gave me a small smile without saying a word.

"What were you doing up there?" I pointed to the stairs that led to the rooftop.

He was about to answer when suddenly, a tall, serious looking squire from Excalibur approached him.

"Your highness." He bowed. "I've been meaning to talk to y-" He stopped when he saw me.

"Hey there." I smiled.

The squire just nodded and looked back at Kile, looks like they had something serious to talk about from the squire's expression and I was in the way.

"Anyways." I clasped my hands together. "I'll leave you two to it, I'll just head ba-"

"Stargazing." Kile cut my sentence.

I turned to him with a confused look.

"That's what I was doing." He said before walking away with the grumpy squire.

He must love looking at the stars. No wonder I always catch him looking up to the sky at night. I just walked back to Aicko and the girls and the event continued.

_________________

"We're getting late!" I scurried to the kitchen and bit on some wheat bread while gathering my papers for todays report in my linguistics class.

"When are we not?" Aicko had her eyes on a book while she was drinking fresh milk.

Both of us just came out from the shower and wore our uniforms in the fastest way possible.

When I finished gathering my papers, I ran back to my room and placed them inside my bag. I looked myself in the mirror. "Shit." I muttered. I forgot my necktie. I ran back inside my closet and and wore it on quickly.

My phone suddenly buzzed but I didn't have anytime to check it. I ran back to the living room. Aicko was at the door waiting, her dark blue blazer hung on her arm and she had a lot of folders on her hand. She eyed them as if checking if she forgot something. "Shit." She cursed. "Paige can you hand me that." She pointed to one of her folders that was on the counter top. She almost forgot it.

I took it and went towards the door.

"Open your mouth." Aicko ordered when I got beside her. "Say Ah." She opened her mouth.

I raised my brow but still opened my mouth. What is she a dentist?

She suddenly inserted wheat bread inside my mouth.

I smiled. After that we ran outside to her car.

"How many minutes do we have left?" I asked while fixing my things.

Aicko started the engine while checking her watch. "Ten, we can make it."

I nodded. I double checked my bag if I had any assignments that I left at the dorm, on the bright side I had everything.

"Sports trainings starts again this afternoon." Aicko reminded me.

Oh yes I almost forgot. A new year means a new sports season. It may add to my plate but I miss my track team.

I nodded and finished my wheat bread before we got off the car. Good thing we weren't late.

Aicko and I walked through the hallways. "Your hair's a mess." Aicko whispered in my ear.

"I'll fix it later."

Suddenly there was a commotion in the entrance. I looked at Aicko and without saying a word we both walked towards the commotion like some nosy neighbors.

I peeked through the crowd of girls to see what was wrong.

My mouth formed an O when I saw what was causing the commotion. Just like the first time I came here, Blake, Kile, and Ram were walking through the hallways and these girls are acting as if it's the first time they ever seen them. Well maybe the first time to see them during the whole vacation but not for me. I got to see each one of them during my vacation.

The girls stares followed them. I thought they where didn't notice us and were just going to pass by us but to my surprise, Blake stopped in front of me.

I raised my brow at him. Why is he stopping right infront of me while everybody's watching. I was about to say something but before I knew it, he slid my backpack off my shoulders and now it's in his hand.

I gave him the what are you doing look.

I felt his free hand lace with mine. "Lets go." He said.

_____________________

"Three hours vacant!" Aicko cheered as we walked out the classroom.

Our faculty has a meeting again, meaning vacant time for us students where we could do anything we want.

"Where should we go?" Aicko started. "We could cafe' hop in the square, we could also do some window shopping or do you guys want to watch the Prince's shooting class again?"

"No." Shari said in a bored voice. Probably because Ram's absent again today, that Prince just loves to escape.

Eloise wasn't on vacant time since she had Royal etiquette class and her teacher isn't at the meeting.

We decided to ride Aicko's car and spend our vacant time at the square. I pulled out my phone to text Aiden.

To: Ugly

You guys on vacant?

He replied immediately.

From: Ugly

Yeah. hbu?

To: Ugly

Yeah, were going to the square. Where you at?

From: Ugly

I'm at the square too. Public library.

My eyes suddenly lit up when I read the word public library. I knew the square had a public library, it's just that I usually use the library at the school building. Now I know where I'm going to spend my vacant time.

"Paige?" Shari called. "You wanna go to the cafe'?"

I looked up from my phone screen. "Uh I think I'm going to the library."

They nodded. When we got to the square, we parted ways. Them to the cafe', I to the library but we agreed to meet up at the cafe' when our vacant time ends. I texted Aiden to make him know that I'm coming.

To: Ugly

I'm going there.

I walked towards the library when my phone suddenly buzzed.

From: Ugly

Oh really? I'm actually on my way back to school, the band needs me. Sorry:(

I made a pout even if he couldn't see me.

To: Ugly

It's ok, I'll go there anyway.

I looked up at the library. It was a grand building with white colored pillars and majestic marble. I walked inside the doors. The cool air of air condition greeted me but what amazed me were the tall book shelves almost everywhere. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling and tables streched out on the sides. A librarian sat at the desk. I gave her my name card for her to scan before she let me look at the books.

This place is like a dream come true.

I walked through the isles of bookshelves, I became even more excited as I read the titles of familiar books I've already read. I took one book and sat on the shiny floor. Aiden and I used to always sit on the floors of the library while we read our books. I remembered a time when I'd read about action and mystery novels, he was more on the classical romance. Weird to think about it.

I propped myself on the floor, I took out my backpack and placed it on my lap to cover my legs, I made myself comfortable, and it's not like anyone else would see me, I mean who else goes to the library?

I rested my back on the wall and started flipping the pages. I was about to get to the second chapter when I heard whispers from the other aisle. I didn't mind it and went back to reading, but as I went on through my pages, the whispers became louder making me more and more interested.

I finally stood up and crept closer to where the whispers came from, it was from the other aisle, when I got closer I realized that there were two voices, both utterly familiar.

I stayed low and made sure I didn't made a sound. I crept down and peaked through the books to see who was talking.

My eyes widened when I saw the people before me. Kile had his back on me and he was talking to somebody, I looked at the other guy, he was the serious and grumpy squire from yesterday. Again, it seemed like they're in a serious conversation.

I couldn't make up what they're saying but I kept looking at them, I couldn't see Kile's expression since he had his back on me. But I could tell that he's angry.

"No." I heard Kile say. The next thing I knew, he turned his back on the squire and started walking away. I looked at the squire who seemed even more grumpy, he too walked away. I sighed and checked my watch, I still had 2 hours, I should just borrow this book and read it at the cafe'.

I tiptoed away from the bookshelf and to the end of the aisle. When I got near the end I exhaled.

"Eavesdropping?" Kile appeared right in front of me.

My eyes widened when I saw him making me jump from where I was standing. "What the hell?!"

Kile raised his brow at me. I would actually think that he's serious but the amused smile his lips displayed erased the concept.

I composed myself and faced him. "What are you doing here?" I crossed my arms. "Shouldn't you be at your shooting class?"

He raised his brow at me looking even more amused. "I got some records for the student council and we don't have shooting class on Mondays."

My brows furrowed. But Aicko said- I smiled at him. "my mistake."

"What about you?" He eyed me. "What are you doing here?"

"Reading." I showed him my book. "It's my vacant time."

"I know." He said before walking away. I frowned and followed him. Yeah he's nicer now, but he's still rude!

He sat on the long tables and I took a seat beside him. He flipped through his book pages and I did the same, but somehow I couldn't focus on my book when I'm dying curious about something. "Hey." I called his attention.

He raised a brow at me.

"Who was the guy you were talking to a while ago?" I said shamelessly.

He flipped through another page. "So you were eavesdropping."

"No." I frowned. "That's not what I meant."

He brought his eyes back to his book. I rolled my eyes at him. "What I'm saying is that, why does that squire always bug you?" I asked. "I mean, even if you say it or not I'm sure that you're annoyed by him.

He looked straight at me and leaned his back on the chair. "That's nothing." He said simply.

By then I knew that he didn't want to talk about it, and that signals the end of our conversation. I just sighed and flipped through my book. Then I remembered, I have some sandwhiches inside my bag which I packed this morning.

The library allows food just not hard ones and sandwhiches are acceptable. I pulled it out of my bag and handed one to Kile.

He looked at the sandwhich then at me with a questioning look.

"You should eat." I took out mine and took a bite off it. "It's better to study with a full tummy." I smiled at him.

He looked at the sandwhich again. Guess he doesn't like it, I mean for heaven's sakes he's the Prince, why would he eat a plain sandwhich made by a commoner.

"Sorry." I suddenly apologized. "I totally understand if you don't want to eat it." I reached out to get the sandwhich to put it back inside my bag when he suddenly stopped me by putting his hand over mine.

"I'll eat it." He said.

Before I could say anything else, he took the sandwhich from underneath my hand and took a bite from it.

I searched his face for any disgust or critisism but there weren't any. I was about to look back to my book when he called me.

"Paige."

I looked up to him.

"Thankyou." He made a small smile before looking back at his book while munching on the sandwhich.

"Great job Bennet." Coach appraised me.

I thanked coach and continued doing my running laps. I really missed this sport, after a long vacation of sitting on the couch, this is just what I need.

After 2 more laps I finally took a break and sat on the bench.

"Tired?" Eloise drank from her water bottle.

"Very." I drank from mine too. Afterwards we both went back to our lanes and ran again.
