''Annie, I miss you!'' Zyreel said while hugging me. It had been months since I went back to school. I have lost so much time because of what happened to my family. And now, I already have a new family. ''What happened to you for the last 3 months? I called you but you didn't answer my call. Did you change numbers?'' she asked. I was worried that Zyreel would be alone since Jenlyn also didn't show up for that many months. ''I'm sorry. I had an emergency in my family. I met my mother's family.'' I said, since I am known as Castro, everyone in school is curious about who the princess is here. I didn't even know that I am a daughter of a princess. ''I miss you and Jenlyn, the whole months that you were gone. Vyrone is just getting along with me and, of course, Kyo.'' When I heard his name, everything went through flashbacks with him. ''How is Jenlyn by the way?'' I asked, the alas time that we saw each other is when she saved me. I will never forget it. ''She is now planning to go abroad. She will finish her college in the US.'' Zyreel said and she looked sad. I know that Jenlyn has a reason why she is going to the US, but I think Zyreel doesn't need to know that, it's for her safety. '' Anyways, you and Kyo are fine? Did you talk to him?'' I don't know what I would say because since the day of the last foundation. I don't have news of him, not even from his family. I still have my things there but I left them. ''I don't have any news about Kyo. I didn't talk to him. I changed my number and will message you later.'' I said and smiled at her. She just smiled back. ''Babe!'' I heard Vyrone from the back calling Zyreel. I lied to Zyreel, I actually know what's going on with them but I need to. There is a reason why. ''Hi, babe!'' Zyreel said and hugged him. I look at them and I am happy because they are finally seeing each other. ''Vyrone!'' I heard his voice in the back. I didn't know if I would look at him. I missed him so much but I have a reason why I couldn't. ''Annie, you are here! I did not notice you earlier. When did you return?'' Vyrone asked. I smiled and nodded my head. ''Kyo!'' Vyrone said and raised his hand to Kyo, ''Is there a class for today?'' I heard him from behind. His voice never changed. ''Who is this?'' Kyo said, Zyreel smiled and said ''Annie, she changed her hair color. I think it suits her.'', Aunt Elizabeth said. I changed my color to gold. I have black hair because of my dad, and they want my hairstyle changed because I look like my mom. ''Oh, Annie?'' Kyo said and I faced him. He changed a lot. He looked at me for a second and looked at Zyreel and Vyrone, ''Did you eat guys?'' I looked at him, but I didn't see any emotion in him. Did I change him? Am I the reason why he became like that? Zyreel looked at me and looked at Vyrone, ''how about we eat outside?'' Vyrone said and Kyo smiled and put his arms on his shoulder, ''Let's go. I'm hungry!'' Zyreel held my arms and smiled, ''Are you okay, Annie?'' I just nodded.
''I heard there is a student here who is a daughter of a princess.'' I stopped when I heard that they were talking about that. Zyreel looks at me with a question. ''Yeah, I think she is a senior.'' I walked away and Zyreel was still looking at me. When we go outside the school, everyone is in front of the gate. ''What is going on?'' Vyrone said. We can go outside because the gate is crowded with students. ''I think there is a celebrity here,'' Kyo said, and also looked at the outside. I saw a black limousine with lots of guards. I saw the flag and I was shocked. ''Why are they here?'' I said and now they are looking at them, ''Do you know who they are?'' Zyreel asked me. I don't know how I will explain everything to them. That car is from my aunt Elizabeth. She is now here in the Philippines. I did not answer them and looked at the car. After a minute, aunt Elizabeth gets out of the car. She is wearing a gold silk dress and eyeglasses. She is looking at the crowd, her car has a flag of London. ''She is princess Elizabeth, her husband is a king, King Ventura,'' Zyreel said. I know that she has an idea who Aunt Elizabeth is. ''Princess Elizabeth.'' our principal is the one who goes there to talk to her, she just smiled, ''just call me by my name, remove the word princess. After all, I am not a Castro anymore,'' she said and laughed, now everyone also laughs. ''Castro?'' Kyo said and looked at me. I looked away because his looks were something, he wanted to say something. ''I am here for my niece.'' My aunt said to the principal. ''May I know Ms. Elizabeth, who is your niece?'' my aunt looked at the crowd to see if I was there and I know the reason why she wanted me to color my hair, for her to be able to see me. I don't know what I am feeling right now. I am nervous at the same time, happy to see her, but I don't want everyone to know that I am a Castro. ''There she is,'' she said and pointed at me. Now all the people here are looking at me. Zyreel, Vyrone, and Kyo also look at me in question, ''That girl is my niece, she is Annie Castro.''
