"Flower wake up you're gonna be late" Mr Martin yelled for the third time
"Dad I'm right here" Flower rushed downstairs and kissed her dad's cheek
"sit down young lady" he said sternly
"but dad you just said I'm gonna be late" she whined
"just let her go Martin" Flower's stepmom,Kiara entered the kitchen
"fine fine but grab something on the way" he rolled his eyes
"thank you mom! you're the best" she grabbed an apple and dashed out
She walked down the road all alone with headphones plugged in her ears and she sang out loudly.The school wasnt really far so she reached there in no time.
"ohh my best friend!" Lily,her best friend rushed towards her before she can even reach the gate "ohh my love! I missed you" she hugged her so tight
"I can't breathe" she choked out
"sorry" Lily let go and giggled
"well I missed you too bestie,come on" she threw her arm over her friend's shoulder and walked in the school
"sooo you're going with me to the ball next weekend right?" Lily grinned at her
"what ball?" she glanced at her friend
"duh the King is seeking a mistress and I'm interested" she grinned more
"wait.. what!" she laughed out
"what?! don't I stand a chance??" she frowned and pushed her friend off her
"no! that's not what I mean,thing is we're students and he's the king for crying out loud" she pointed out
"yes he is but he's like 22 or 23,he's not old plus he's handsome" she blushed stroking her hair
"I don't care, I just wanna finish school and get the hell out of this town,get my dream job and-"
"and have a husband and kids" Lily huffed "when are you gonna be interested in boys??"
"I dont know.. I just find these guys..you know..I'd say they arent my type I guess"
"whatever you're just impossible" Lily opened her locker and took out her books
"I love you too!"she chuckled and went to hers too
"I'm going to chemistry first,what about you?!" Lily voiced out closing back her locker
"umm.. Maths" she looked at her"
"okay,see you during lunchtime I guess" she waved at her
"bye!" she waved back and left to class
Flower entered the class but no one was present
"guess I'm early" she muttered and went to her seat
after a while students started trooping in
"hey flower!" they greeted her one by one except for four girls who came in lastly
the four stars girls,the meanies of the school,they are actually proud peacocks,no one dared to cross their lines
everyone settled down as the lecturer came in and the business of the day went on as usual

At The Royal Palace
"Your highness,you have guests" The guards bowed before King Alakan and waited patiently for his response
"let them in" he mumbled
"yes your highness" the guard turned back and left
Two women came in shortly after the guard had left
"your highness" they chorused
"hmm" he nodded
"umm I'm Rose and I'm going to be the Royal ball event planner working with my friend"
"so?" he stared at them
"w..we were..I mean we just wanted to know what decorations would you like to include" she stuttered nervously
"hmm" he stood up and took steady steps towards them "just make it beautiful and.." he held her cheeks "memoriable" he whispered
"y..yes your highness" she whimpered
"w..we definitely will your highness" her friend added
"good,because nobody wants to die right?" he smirked and they nodded negatively
he let go of her and looked at her friend
"what is your name darling?"
"m..my name Is Aurora" she mumbled
"Aurora,take your friend and guide her out before she passes out" he said calmly
"y..yes your highness" she quickly held her friend's hand and pulled her out
"chickens" he chuckled and went back to his throne

"have you heared about the new guy?" Lily smiled at Flower
"ohh please not again dear lord" Flower roughened her hair
"come on you..oh my gosh It's Jack!"
"dont tell me he's coming here" she groaned
"ohh yes he is,act normal" she quickly combed her hair with her hands
"hey ladies!" Jack smiled at them
"hey Jack" Lily blushed stroking her hair
"umm" he cleared his throat "F..Flower can I talk to you for a sec? please"
silence
"go on" Lily urged her
"fine!" she huffed and stood up
they both stood a bit far
"umm will you go out with me?" he whispered
"no" she responded blankly
"why? I mean come on girl" he whined
"because I don't want to" she folded her arms
"why are you..." he grabbed her hand roughly "stop resisting me I know you want me so much as I want you" he gritted his teeth
"stop! stop Jack you're hurting me!" she tried so much not to scream and draw attention
"no..you're going out with me"
"you can't force her!" a voice said behind them and they both turned
"newbie stay out of this!" Jack shouted gaining attention from everyone
girls started muttering staring at the new guy
"or what?" he got closer to them and separated their hands
"you piece of-"
before he can finish the new guy already sent a hot blow to his smooth yet well built jaw
