Chapter 3-Favor
“See you around Curly,” I mocked Crimson’s idiotic voice as I stalked through the hallways of RHA.917Please respect copyright.PENANAKm1GQDi1Cw
Pinky was still shockingly still by my side. Meh, she’s only slightly annoying and she makes some good ass jokes so her presence next to me can be tolerated. And it was kind of - dare I say it....nice to have an acquaintance.917Please respect copyright.PENANAqIsYNZ8vPe
“Just who does he think he is touching me like that?” I raved as I struggled to unlock my locker. What dumbass designed these things with combinations anyway? It should’ve been something simpler!917Please respect copyright.PENANAJpaUsC7H75
“Don’t be upset, Crimson Cross was the hottest guy at Edensville High!” Pinky said as if that would cheer me up.917Please respect copyright.PENANANREeRte2HR
“Firstly, I don’t care how fucking gorgeous he is, I can have him hanged for harassing me!” I seethed. “An secondly, what the fuck is Edensville High?”917Please respect copyright.PENANAPgmO64jtg2
Pinky looked at me dumbfounded. “You’re kidding, right?”917Please respect copyright.PENANAMDetJqQUhT
“Do you see a fucking smile on my face?” I pointed to my face that was straight as a board.917Please respect copyright.PENANA6AhXBmmWeF
“Edensville is a city in the Heartlands, and Edensville High is the school that I transferred from, and also Crimson.”917Please respect copyright.PENANATMTAhIuIrB
Edensville.Edensville. Now it’s coming back to me. Edensville was a considerably large city but it was filled with poor fuckers. How can Pinky and Crimson even step foot into the capital coming from a derogatory place like that?917Please respect copyright.PENANAATs8rMmV7f
.917Please respect copyright.PENANAyq8KQ3NtwZ
.917Please respect copyright.PENANA85nCXAPfkK
.917Please respect copyright.PENANA8hOVpNeVt4
Hold up, the capital aside. How the hell are they even affording coming to this school?917Please respect copyright.PENANAQhNbuBt3ga
“Edensville is practically third world compared to the capital,” I said flipping my curls over my shoulder. “How are you even in this school then?”917Please respect copyright.PENANAyYr3tvgo0p
Pinky seemed to take offense to my “third-world-comparison”, but it’s not like I’m going to apologize- I mean come on, it’s true!917Please respect copyright.PENANA2KNdqSW15s
“Wealthy families were offering scholarships to the top five students in my school to attend RHA. Crimson and I were in it, and now we’re living here with host families.” She explained.917Please respect copyright.PENANAAtjD3doiRd
“That dumbass is smart,” I said shocked. Hmm, I feel suspicious about that.917Please respect copyright.PENANAOoQvRyX7Yn
“Is that the only thing you gathered from that?” Pinky raised an eyebrow. “Hmm maybe you do have a crush on Crimson after all.”917Please respect copyright.PENANAl02BGSDQM6
“EXCUSE ME!” I screeched in her ear. “THE ONLY FEELING I HAVE FOR THAT FUCKER IS HATRED. HATRED THAT BURNS AND FUELS MY SOUL LIKE THE FIERY WHITE HOT PASSION OF A THOUSAND SUNS!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAwwQdsozyPg
“Ouch, that’s pretty harsh to hear Curly, especially since I was oh so nice to you,”917Please respect copyright.PENANAyzGSmqbVcu
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.917Please respect copyright.PENANAi9NNimFnM1
I slowly craned around to see the dumbass-in-statement standing there smirking at me with his arms crossed. Now that he had taken of his hoodie and rolled up the sleeves on his white shirt, I could see how defined and toned his arms were. They literally looked like gold!917Please respect copyright.PENANAlCxSP3ULMv
“It seems that I’ve once again left you speechless,” He said. “And hello Lacey, nice to see you again!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAbMoWpfbE3c
“Likewise,” She gave him a friendly nod.917Please respect copyright.PENANAG0Np0hCRLm
“DON’T TALK TO HER!” I shouted standing in front of Pinky protectively.917Please respect copyright.PENANAolD5wSvego
“Oh and why not?” He leaned my locker. “I knew her way longer than you have,”917Please respect copyright.PENANAo64r5IXgeV
“Well I don’t give a fuck,” I mockingly said. “Now get out of here you’re not wanted!”917Please respect copyright.PENANADqBNEatIy0
“If you can lift me up and move me then fine,” He leaned down closer to my face.917Please respect copyright.PENANAqAHp76KJVh
I immediately began blushing and flipped my hair over my shoulder before tugging with me, but she began to struggle in my grasp.917Please respect copyright.PENANAwYNsJGfCag
“I’m sorry Alex but I have to leave,” She said grabbing her bag. I checked the clock on the wall to see that it was indeed 12:05PM. “My foster mother is waiting outside for me. I’ll see you tomorrow, yeah?”917Please respect copyright.PENANATClIPpN9n2
I can’t believe it! My sole acquaintance just left me in the alone in these forsaken hallways with this dumbass from hell! “Yeah, yeah whatever bye!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Li5xogpv
I watched, almost sadly as she strolled out the doors-and as soon as she did, it felt like the air in here got twice as hot. Sucking my teeth, I turned around to grab my bag, which was placed right in front of the asshole. If my phone wasn’t in there, I would’ve left the bag without a second thought.917Please respect copyright.PENANALYRoYN7m6Q
I quickly snatched my bag and placed it over my shoulder but as soon as I was about to turn around, I was yanked back and was pressed against the lockers. Crimson used both his arms as a cage to trap me while smirking down at me-his lips dangerously close to mine.917Please respect copyright.PENANA8SWLzGAAlI
“You know Curly,” He started. “You’ve got such a dirty mouth for a princess,”917Please respect copyright.PENANASWUGIlLDKi
Sweat was rolling down my head in bullets at this point. I couldn’t utter a single insult at him, or even form a legible word!917Please respect copyright.PENANA28dHW0cHeL
“H-Huh?” I stammered dumbly as I tried to control my racing heart.917Please respect copyright.PENANAuS89bi3PJN
He chuckled as he moved his hands slowly down my back, leaving a trail of fire behind before he rested them firmly on my waist.917Please respect copyright.PENANAl5oS7uFW9F
“Hmm, I love a girl with curves, In my opinion, you’re better looking than your sister,” He seductively said in my ear.917Please respect copyright.PENANATnjlb6aM9Q
Did I just hear him right or is he blind? Grace was the epitome of beauty! I can’t even compete with her in that.917Please respect copyright.PENANALh1fCbhiLs
“What?” He asked taking in my shocked face. “You don’t think so? Hmph, you would think with that attitude of yours you would be more self-confident.”917Please respect copyright.PENANAyKicnEuJp2
“I am confident,” I regained my voice but it was still trembling. I’ve got to get out of here, this guy was making me lose my mind!917Please respect copyright.PENANAddxWS7SWz3
“Oh really, then prove it,” He said as he lifted me higher against the wall to bring our faces to equal heights. “Kiss me,”917Please respect copyright.PENANAa8r3E1TMor
My eyes widened and I wiggled in his grasp to touch the ground. “What? No-let me down!”917Please respect copyright.PENANApUyQQITIc0
“If you’re confident, then you wouldn’t have a problem kissing me right?” He smirked as his fingers rubbed small circles on my waist and it made me feel hazy. Fuck, I’m going to faint!917Please respect copyright.PENANA6x7eGeUdwe
Thankfully, the buzzing of my cellphone broke me the enchanted spell he had on me and I struggled even harder to get out out his grasp.917Please respect copyright.PENANALdGorTVoKo
“Put me down you dumbass!” I seethed pushing him back, which made me drop on my feet.917Please respect copyright.PENANAmzrqHrCGq1
I quickly took out my phone to see that it was a text from the transportation team. My limo was awaiting me outside. Finally! I need to get out here.917Please respect copyright.PENANAnI6QLJnSrf
“”Move, I’m going home,” I pushed him aside and got back in my stride.917Please respect copyright.PENANAw4orMshTta
But I hadn’t even walked three steps before I felt the elastic on my thigh-high socks being pulled before they were released and slapped me on the back of my thighs. 917Please respect copyright.PENANAmrn2xn5YDM
“Ouch-WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?” I glared at him as I rubbed my now stinging thighs.917Please respect copyright.PENANAvIWOCzUto1
But he just grinned before turning around and walking the other way. “See you around Curly!”917Please respect copyright.PENANA4BjwNLMveB
There it was again. That stupid “See you around Curly!” that I knew he was just mocking me with.917Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oo53cz2wQ
“I HATE YOU,” I screamed at his back before angrily stomping out the building.917Please respect copyright.PENANAtWevhAmQNN
Would you believe that these idiotic people were still crowded around here! Don’t these people have a life of sorts?917Please respect copyright.PENANAGVA9k5bmcj
I was in a terrible mood and everyone could sense it, they immediately shut up when I walked past them. My driver audibly gulped as he held the door open for me. Taking one look at my icy glare, he didn’t even bother asking me how my day was.917Please respect copyright.PENANAIVzzwvwSWl
“C-Can I get you anything to make the ride more comfortable Princess?” He nervously asked from the window.917Please respect copyright.PENANAQZDfrLpy04
Smiling sweetly I looked up at him. “Yes, you can get your pathetic, worthless ass in the fucking limo and drive me back to the damn palace in less than ten minutes or else I’ll fire you!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAhLmfa9fF36
“B-But Princess it’s a fifteen minute distance between RHA and the palace I can’t possibly-”917Please respect copyright.PENANApwFNMpuxWw
“Well then you better hire me a fucking police escort and get me there in less than ten minutes because I will not hesitate to fire your incompetent ass and hire someone more qualified for the job!” I seethed as I roughly grabbed the collar of his shirt.917Please respect copyright.PENANAScL7klaCRP
Unable to say anything back to me. He just nodded and pulled out his phone to get me my escort. And of course, I arrived at the palace in seven minutes!917Please respect copyright.PENANAh0cJYjJY9L
Oh man it’s good to be a princess!917Please respect copyright.PENANAfDLZygngat
...917Please respect copyright.PENANAW2iXLqw70t
“What?” I said annoyed at the mousy maid in front of me. She was shaking like leaf.917Please respect copyright.PENANAbFVVR6FEvK
“S-Sorry to bother you Pr-Princess but...” She trailed off, mumbling illegibly under her breath.917Please respect copyright.PENANAN3dGFHZ1dZ
“If you’re mumbling like a dumbass how the fuck do you expect me hear you?” I glared. “SPEAK UP!”917Please respect copyright.PENANACPWGRAK6eh
“The King and Queen have requested your presence for dinner this evening!” She rushed out before bowing.917Please respect copyright.PENANA6GO1df5P7A
What the hell do those fuckers want? We live in the same palace but I haven’t seen them in nearly a month. Of course their is family dinner every evening, but I refuse to partake in it because it’s fucking pointless! I’d rather eat alone in my room.917Please respect copyright.PENANApiRbiWpG1P
“Well tell them I said fuck no,” I smiled falsely before slamming the door in her face, but an outstretched foot stopped it.917Please respect copyright.PENANAYDJ6kTDaVi
Their was only person I knew with a big ass foot like that. I glared up at the primitive bitch in front of me. Fucking Clarice.917Please respect copyright.PENANA8O2tSRHi49
“What do you want you old hag?” I seethed as I repeatedly tried to shut the door but she barged her way into my bedroom.917Please respect copyright.PENANA3JYTEsLmrW
She glared at me but didn’t say anything about my insult. “Prince Arthur has returned to the palace this morning and your parents would like for you to be in attendance at dinner to celebrate his first night back.”917Please respect copyright.PENANARpn3ENkLoK
Arty’s back? He was traveling the globe all summer doing charity work and I hadn’t seen him since May. Needless to say, Arty was not only my favorite sibling, but my favorite person. Sure we still fought sometimes but he is the only person who truly understands me and the only one who is interested in understanding me.917Please respect copyright.PENANAHEiQAVjDrk
“Fine,” I rolled my eyes.917Please respect copyright.PENANA11PDEfld9S
Clarice was shocked at my easy acceptance but didn’t question it. “Dress appropriately,” She said before slamming the door behind her.917Please respect copyright.PENANAMV04qDzn4y
I’m ecstatic that Arty is back but that also mean that I have to sit down at a table for two fucking hours with the rest of my annoying family!917Please respect copyright.PENANAwIzVpe3up4
...917Please respect copyright.PENANAsfyNl2wQdq
“I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY!” Clarice shouted at me as I stood in front of the dining room doors.917Please respect copyright.PENANARnngLpDdul
I was previously wearing gray sweat pants and a stained white T-shirt. I changed the white T-shirt to a navy one and continued wearing my sweats. Also I was bare-footed. But it’s not like this is a state dinner or anything!917Please respect copyright.PENANA5vySS1y5Sl
“Listen you crusty bitch, leave me the fuck alone!” I glared at her. “I can wear whatever the hell I want! Now leave me be and go scrub some toilets because cleaning up shit is the only thing that you’re good for in life!” 917Please respect copyright.PENANAUV5zTj7QXL
“One day you will regret all the wrong that you’ve ever said to people little girl,” Clarice backed away as she glared at me.917Please respect copyright.PENANAxTbHVhCE8k
“Whatever,” I answered sarcastically. “I’m sure your pathetic husband also regrets marrying you!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAuQeDcgAskR
“YOU’RE CRUEL!” She shouted as tears streamed down her face. “MAX DOES HIS BEST TO TAKE OF ME AND-”917Please respect copyright.PENANAxwnQiSTPmY
“Well obviously his best is not good enough because both of you look like shit,” I rolled my eyes. “Now you can decide to stay out here and cry about your fruitless existence or, you can scrub my bathroom spotless for my return or else your little niece that was just hired will be out of a job.”917Please respect copyright.PENANAHfLo9XxSgn
“You wouldn’t!” Clarice dared.917Please respect copyright.PENANA2oR1UIyKjr
“Oh I would!” I smirked. “I have Royal Privilege over her so I can take her out of a job fast. Your choice Clarice!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAX9YYTv8zur
“YOU’RE A DEMON!” She shouted at me before scurrying off to my wing of the palace.917Please respect copyright.PENANAlkLtn8VS7b
“I know,” I whispered emotionless.917Please respect copyright.PENANAIlecvargVA
Suddenly the doors to the dining hall flew open and the identical sandy curls of Arty came into view. Though he was five years older than me, we could easily pass for twins. We had the same sandy curls and electric blue eyes.917Please respect copyright.PENANAEHTzSDaxOV
“ALEX!” He beamed as he caught sight of me. He ran over and pulled me into his arms, spinning me around a few times before setting me back on my feet. “I thought you weren’t coming!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAW61bjPv7Vx
“To see them, hell no. To see you, hell yeah!” I grinned as I embraced him tightly.917Please respect copyright.PENANAcjCRBdiuhi
“Come on Alex don’t be like that,” He said leading him inside the dining room. “Mom and Dad said that they haven’t seen you in weeks and that they really missed you.”917Please respect copyright.PENANAscMRrCMMmZ
“Oh please,” I scoffed. “Firstly, if they really missed me, they would’ve come to see me. Secondly, that old fart we call our father barely remembers our names. He just realized Leo and Liam were different people two months ago! He’s always high and stink of weed and that botched piece of plastic we call our mother only cares about Grace and her damn botox!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAl6z9LAcfk8
“Hmph, you would think that a month in that dungeon of yours would change your nasty attitude,” The Botched Bitch, AKA, my mother said sneering at me. Her bright and shiny golden hair, that she shared with Grace and the twins, flowed down her back. Her big electric blue eyes that were identical to Arty’s and mines shone brilliantly under the jade chandelier. She appeared to be no older than thirty, but she was actually forty five. Her lips looked like fucking balloons with the amount of plastic surgery she had on them. Everything about her was fake, straight down to her personality.917Please respect copyright.PENANABSFkyopIEA
“You would think that all those plastic surgeries would make you a fucking delight to behold but sadly you’re the same broken bitch that you are on the inside,” I retorted snarkily.917Please respect copyright.PENANAf6Bk6TYtN7
“Fucking bitch!” She stood up to slap me but was held back by Arty.917Please respect copyright.PENANAAoG1pSx8xE
“I learned from the best, mother dear.” I responded sarcastically as I took a seat as far away from her that was unfortunately between Liam and Grace.917Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ltAvX3fY
“Now now!” My father tried to settle us down. “If you’re gonna fight, don’t do it on my fucking time!”917Please respect copyright.PENANA28J3favCBI
“Father please don’t encourage them with the use of obscene language!” Grace interjected.917Please respect copyright.PENANAq1f1izsJnR
“Listen Blondie,” He lit up a cigar. “Why don’t you just sit tight like a good girl alright?”917Please respect copyright.PENANAVN5LrDs6u7
She immediately fell back and shut up. Her face fell just for a few seconds before it was relighted with her dazzling smile.917Please respect copyright.PENANAZUjv2QZWF4
“Don’t talk to Grace like that!” My mother flared up from her seat.917Please respect copyright.PENANAFRuSluUn3g
“Everyone please just calm down,” Arty said. “We’re here to have a nice family dinner so let’s do that...please,”917Please respect copyright.PENANA7dgm7DAVD3
My mother and I glared intensely at each other for the remainder of the time that we had to spend in each other’s presence. Grace nor the twins never spoke unless they were being directly spoken to. The twins were occupied on their phones the entire time so they didn’t really care. But Grace sat their with her perfect smile on show; it not faltering for even a second.917Please respect copyright.PENANA0LYBA2HWYF
“Well, this was uhh-nice, to spend time with my family upon my return,” Arty nervously laughed.917Please respect copyright.PENANAxls2ME8XAc
“Was it really now Adrian?” My father asked him sarcastically.917Please respect copyright.PENANANym5eGndax
“I-It’s Arthur Dad,” Arty said crestfallen. He shouldn’t let it bother him. The old fart doesn’t call anyone’s name. Referring to Arty as boy, Grace as blondie, the twins as...twin and myself as brat. But when it comes to the public eye, he’ll pretend as if he’s the world most loving father calling us each by affectionate nicknames and telling the world how much of a “proud” father he is.917Please respect copyright.PENANAMSrXMqf4gt
“It was a fucking disaster!” I seethed. “It would’ve been better if it was just the two of us,”917Please respect copyright.PENANAp5hE7G4bKS
“Maybe if you would stop being such a little fucker, we could all get along like a “happy little family!” My mother sarcastically said.917Please respect copyright.PENANAebKINbVPOD
“PLEASE STOP!” Grace snapped as she stood up from the table. Tears streaming down her face. “Just stop,”917Please respect copyright.PENANAV5janjjije
“What the fuck are you crying for bitch?” I said pushing her. “We’re not talking about you right?”917Please respect copyright.PENANAZaBTtE3E3f
“ALEXANDRA!” Arty boomed. I was stunned, he hadn’t called me by my full name in a while. “Just leave alright, you’re upsetting Grace,”917Please respect copyright.PENANAJGvCJLOBb0
My jaw dropped as I scoffed at him. “Are you actually choosing her over me? I thought I was your favorite!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAck6bDCBPFV
“This has nothing to do with favoritism!” He said hugging a now sobbing Grace. My mother was also by her side rubbing her back reassuringly while my father looked on in amusement. The twins were so occupied with their phones that they probably weren’t even hearing us.917Please respect copyright.PENANAVZyhQAH2Dq
“You’re overreacting!” I pushed Grace again but this time she fell to the floor with a hard smack.917Please respect copyright.PENANAG5cFISPt33
“GRACE!” My mother and Arty shrieked as they went to her aid.917Please respect copyright.PENANA7X9eyhM0qM
“YOU’RE A CRAZY BITCH!” My mother screamed at me.917Please respect copyright.PENANAnmEND2BL3x
“No it’s my fault for insulting her mom, I’m sorry Alex,” Grace said looking up at me teary eyed. A red bruise was forming on the cheek that had collided with the floor.917Please respect copyright.PENANAAqicgRZnGV
“Of course it’s your fault!” I seethed. “EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAe2k1jkQBcI
“LEAVE!” Arty boomed at me. “GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM ALEXANDRA!”917Please respect copyright.PENANAwhWN3aZxXo
How could he say that to me? Why is he taking her side? He said that I’m his favorite sister so he should be siding with me. I always side with him on everything!917Please respect copyright.PENANA5ril4uzVjq
“B-But Arty-” I started but he cut me off.917Please respect copyright.PENANAt5pjeJHxbu
“I said leave Alexandra, and I mean it,” He glared as he lifted Grace into his arms.917Please respect copyright.PENANA6sI7ucUgIA
I can’t believe it. He actually chose her over me. I was boiling over inside, filled with an unknown emotion. It felt like a lump was in my throat and I couldn’t breathe.917Please respect copyright.PENANACtjv0qMoMi
“WHATEVER YOU ASS!” I screamed at him before bolting out of there.917Please respect copyright.PENANAGgDEXy5abm
I ran all the way to my bedroom and a stream of tears flowed down my face as I sobbed. Why is it always Grace? Everyone always chooses her over me! But I’d never thought that Arty would side with her too. The one person who I could actually tolerate just told me to leave.917Please respect copyright.PENANAPVziJAJ3V6
.917Please respect copyright.PENANAIrovcQ6IjC
.917Please respect copyright.PENANA3NLkeofJjP
.917Please respect copyright.PENANAQDlfAuQDVP
Fine, whatever I don’t need him. I don’t need any of them. They can all rot in hell for all I care! 917Please respect copyright.PENANAdGG8vrEjAY
I don’t need anyone!917Please respect copyright.PENANAFPz7HC1BjU
