Becoming The MC Princess

Room Of My Dreams

Tyler led me up a seemingly endless stone staircase. I ran my fingers over the rough texture of the stone, curious what stories it could tell.

"It is a bit of a walk." Tyler remarks as we walk, "These stairs go on for quite a while before we get to your room in the tallest tower." He shatters the silence.

"I have always imagined having my room in the tallest tower here." I smiled as I responded to him.

"I know... I overheard you telling one of your friends before he moved away," he admits sheepishly, turning a barely noticeable pink.

"Is that why it is mine now, because you asked Father?," I inquired.

"I am not sure; maybe it is Dad's dream to lock you up there where no one can reach you. His method of preventing you from being hurt," he laughs, shaking his head.

We talk and joke as we get to know each other better, until we come to a door. Tyler comes to a halt and tells me that he will meet me downstairs when I return, before leaving me alone to explore my new room. My jaw drops as I push the large wooden door all the way open. The room is large and circular, with a massive poster bed and a canopy flowing around it. In the center of the room, there is a nice table made of a longboard deck. A newly added washroom on the left side of the room, what I assume is a wardrobe on the right, and a vanity with an oval-shaped mirror in between. Another glass door leading out to the balcony is located right next to the vanity. The most amazing feature is the dozens of longboards mounted on the walls all around the room. Every well-known brand, as well as nearly every style and size, must be present. Falling backwards onto my bed, I can not help but be grateful for everything that has happened in the last 48 hours and wonder if I will wake up soon. I was deep in thought when I was startled by a knock at the door. As I looked towards the door, I realized I had forgotten to close it when I noticed one of my school's hottest boys leaning against the frame.

"I did not mean to startle you," he said, stepping forward.

I stare at him, thinking about how God must have taken some extra time to create him.

"By the way, my name is Drake," he says with a stunning smile.

"Oh, I recognize you. I simply do not understand what is going on right now," I admitted.

"I just came up here to see if you were all right? Maybe offer you some assistance to take your mind off things?," he says, approaching the side of my bed.

"What do you have in mind to divert my attention away from the freak show that is my life?" I asked, looking up to him.

"Oh, I have a few ideas about things we can do together to help you clear your mind. Things that I am sure you are still too young to deal with," he says, climbing onto my bed and over me.

"Big guy, you do not know anything about me. So I would like to take a nap right now. Without you here," I said, letting my lips brush against his before turning on my side and facing away from him.

"I enjoy a challenge, little Doe, and I believe it is only fair that I warn you that I always win a challenge presented to me," he says, letting his lips graze my ear before standing up and leaving.

Well, that has to be an excellent start to what I hope will be a fantastic dream. I think to myself as I close my eyes to fall asleep.

I could not believe I had slept the rest of the day, the entire night, and half of the next day. I slept so soundly and deeply that when I awoke, I was completely perplexed by my surroundings. My brain took five minutes to finally wake up and reboot. When it did, I leaped up and dashed to the restroom. After emptying my bladder, I realized I had everything I needed for a shower. I had a nice long hot shower. I was also taken aback by the enormous bath sheet towels that wrapped perfectly around me. After brushing my hair, I exited the restroom and returned to my bedroom, heading straight to the closet. When I saw all the clothes, shoes, and everything else I could ever need or want, my mouth dropped to the floor. I grabbed a black mini skirt and a hot pink top that hung around my neck, as well as a bra and panties set and ankle socks. After I finish getting dressed, I apply makeup and put on a pair of slip-on globe skater shoes before pulling a duster cruiser longboard from the wall. Then I put on an oversize hoodie and went downstairs. Zara was the first to notice me, approaching me with a bowl of mixed fruit that had been cut up and looked delicious.

She gives me the bowl and says, "Eat before you go out riding your board, and I will bring you some orange juice."

I smiled and replied, "Yes, ma'am, and thank you."

I see my brothers sitting with their friends, surrounded by a swarm of girls. Some I recognized from school, but the rest I am not sure about. To avoid disturbing them, I chose to sit in an empty booth. Drake looks at me with an annoyingly sexy smile on his stupid, smug face. Focusing on my mouthwatering bowl of fruit, I began to drift away.

Zara placed a cup of juice in front of me before returning to the bar.

Before they sit across from me, two girls leave the guy's table and walk over to mine.

"So ... You think what you did to my little sister is going to go without consequences??", Sara's sister Amy asked me.

Raising both my brows, I replied, "I think what happened to your little sister Sara, could easily happen to you as well, Amy. So if you would like to mess around and find out, by all means please name the time and date and I will gladly be your huckleberry."

Her friend Brittany, who is seated next to her, has to bite both of her lips to hold back her laughs as I popped a grape into my mouth and stared at Amy, who shoots Brittany a dirty look.

"Do not look at me that way, Amy, because I will kick your ass, and besides, she told your b straight up. I respect that," Brittany says to Amy, who in turn rolls her eyes.

Looking back at me, Amy continues, "I do not know how Kevin, his brothers and their crew yet, but know this, I will find out. When I do, I will end you."

With a flip of her hair off her shoulder she gets up and leaves, but not before I reply, "We will see... But I bet it blows your mind when you find out and pisses you off even more that you will fail."

Then I looked across the table at Brittany who was still seated there smiling at me, "It has been a long time since anyone else has put Amy in her place and I will have your back when the time comes for you to kick her behind and stop anyone else from getting involved. I look forward to seeing you around Raina."

With her last words, she gets up and walks away from my table to head back to the guy's.

I no longer felt like eating, so I got up, took my bowl and cup to place it on the bar and then headed outside to the back to find the maze that I saw from my balcony this morning. Once I get out of the door, I drop my new board and ride off looking for said maze. Ten minutes later, and I am standing at the entrance to the huge maze, waiting no time to ride through the opening.

KEVIN'S P.O.V.

"What did you stop and talk to Raina about Amy??", I ask as she comes back trying to sit on Tyler's lap.

"Oh, you know I just thought I would stop and have a little chat with her about what she did to my little sister," she replied innocently.

This had Tyler pushing her off of him as he shot daggers at her, "What did she do to Sara that Sara did not have coming to her ??"

A look of pure shock crosses her face before it turns into rage, "She broke her damn nose and bruised her ribs Tyler!!"

"First off, she opened her mouth where it did not concern her, and she had no business opening it. Second off, Sara hit Raina first in the face. If she was smarter than she would have known not to pick a fight, she could not win. And third off, she is Sara. When does she not deserve it ??", Tyler snaps back at her.

"Whatever... The little witch needs to learn her damn place and that is at the bottom of the bottom of the list," she says with a roll of her eyes and all the confidence in the world.

"Amy, get your stuff and leave, I am tired of looking at your face and the sound of your voice is only hurting my brain", Skyler speaks up, out of nowhere.

"Tyler, are you just going to sit there and let him talk to me that way??", Amy asked our brother.

"Well, look at that... I am", was his simple reply.

RAINA'S P.O.V.

I had not really thought about this whole maze thing, though I realized that I was now ready to find my way out. Then, when I finally found the center of the maze, I was breath taken by the beautiful sight of not only the waterfall fountain ⛲, but of the handsome boy sitting alone on one of the three benches reading a book. He was so in tranced in the book he was reading that he still had not noticed my presence. Remembering back to the fight with Sarah at school, he was the one that washed the blood off of my hands. I think Kevin said his name was Luke.

"I never got a chance to thank you the other day for washing my hands off for me after the fight, so thank you, Luke," I said, making him look up from his book.

"Anytime Raina," he said with the sexiest smile.

I can't help thinking to myself, what is with all these guys and being so damn hot are they putting something in the water or the food what??

"So... Would you happen to know the way out of here??", I asked, feeling my cheeks heat up.

Shaking his head side to side with a straight face, he says,"I have been lost here for two days."

I responded with a touch of panic, "No, you have not ?!?!"

Luke breaks into a heart-stopping smile that catches my breath, "I have been lost here for the last two days."

"Oh, my... Here, drink this and hang on", I shoved my water bottle in his hands, then pulled out the airhead from my back pocket, making him take it.

"Do you have a cell phone ??", I asked in a bit of a panic.

"Here," he said, getting up and handing it to me. I see Kevin's number, so I push it and wait for the ring to start, "Luke, where the hell are you at man ??"

"Kevin it's Raina, how could you let your own friend go missing for two days and not even try to find him, or tell anybody that he's even missing ??", I loudly spoke into the phone.

"Raina... Wait... What ??", he asks with genuine confusion in his voice.

"You know your friend Luke, who has been lost in the maze for two days. I found him in the center of the fountain !!", I said, dramatic as ever.

"Ya, okay so, ... Tell Luke I said he's got 20 minutes to figure his way out or, I will come and show him the way out myself. Oh! And let him know he had better make it count, because I have to cover for him now. Love you Raina. I've got to go, bye.", And then he hung up.

"Some friends you got there, Luke. He said you have 20 minutes to figure out how to get out of here, and you had better make it worth it because he has to cover for you now." I relayed Kevin's message to Luke.

"I guess I owe Kevin then," Luke says, confusing me.

KEVIN'S POV

"Luke is on his way... Something ... Has come up." I said to the men in front of me.

"What could be more important than this meeting ??", asked the leader of the group.

"Now you see ... That is none of your damn business... This meeting is yes, but beyond that it's not.," I informed him.

RAINA'S POV

LUKE and I walked and talked until we finally came across one of the exits. Then my body froze as I heard the all too familiar voice that I could recognize from out of a thousand voices. I wonder how they know eat bother
