Princess Charming

CHAPTER 1 Gosh i hate school. i pulled my bags out of my moms car vengefully. "fay" my mom called "take it easy with your bags cause am not buying you a new one even if it turns to sack". i scrowled " you seem awfully fine with leaving me here in the middle of nowhere". "sweetheart" she called "am not leaving you in the middle of nowhere am dropping you off at your new boarding school in thailand" i frowned "but thats the same thing i just said!" "stop scrowling" she warned "you are going to get frown lines" "am not scrowling" i scrowled bitterly. my mom reached over to smoothen my hair "everything is going to be okay you are going to love thailand i promise you much more than australia". i raised a doubtful brow " what makes you so sure?" she gave me a full smile "because once am properly settled into my new job am going to have more time to spend with you so please just stay here and don't cause any trouble okay? " i sighed "am preety sure this white kids would'nt want to get their hands dirty". " don't be like that you know you are not the only one surrounded by whites" mom said i hate to admit it but she's right am not the only one but am sure am the only black kid in the whole school and she's the only black at her workplace but it's not my fault i didn't ask her to take a job offer all the way in thailand just because she needed a break from her stalking ex husband and am ashamed to admit that, that stalker is indeed my dad anyway am glad i don't get to see his sorry face again. "wait wait wait hold up where are you going?" i asked as my mom got back into the car after helping me with my bags "you are not helping me with my registration? " she grinned "oh no you got this you are a big girl now" i glared savagely at her as i watched her drive out of the school compound. After my registration i got allocated to golden triangle 206 i guess thats my room number and hostel. "excuse me..... student!" i turned it was a white lady make that very white in a blue shirt over a straight black skirt and she was annoyingly tall "lodgings are off limits during school hours" she informed me oh "then what do i do with my things? " she streched forth her hand "am chaloem chai am the lodge mistress you can leave your things with me". i shook her hand " thank you miss shalom and shy am fay and am a new student" she gave my a warm smile "the hand was for your bags" oh "fuck.... am sorry" i quickly handed it over to her " it's okay just mind your language around here" she cautioned "oh s**t i forgot" she stared at me "i will be more cautious now miss shalom and shy" "chaloem chai" she corrected "shalom and shy" i repeated after her. "just go to class already" she dismissed me. There was a teacher in class when i finally found my class just great what a way to make an entrance in the middle of the term and class. i stood by the door and waited for the teacher to notice me. and he did notice me "hello there come in don't be shy" shy my ass i almost retorted his english was good he didn't have an accent like miss shalom and shy. i stood obediently beside him naturally am short and i have grown to accept it but this people keep reminding me how short i actually am and its vindictive. "am mr. chaiyo the english teacher you can introduce yourself like that" i tried not to scrowl at him he was treating me like a child "hi........ am fay.............." i paused "oh and i don't teach english" "why don't you tell us more about yourself? " mr. chaoyi pressed "i hear you are from australia" i shrugged trying not to brag "am actually american but i grew up in australia and my great great grandfathers elder brothers friend said my ancestors were african warrior kings" of course that last part is a lie but who cares? there stared at me in awe like i was some type of royalty. i found an empty sit and sat the guy beside was preety he smiled when i sat next to him and i returned the smile "am chaoyi by the way" i looked ar him "chaoyi? " "yeah i know am namesakes with the english teacher and trust me it makes skipping class alot harder". he rambled. skipping class? this guy and i are going to be best of buds and of course its not like skipping class would be equally easy for me being the only black but am ready to pursue my dreams. "fay? " he called again "sorry to disturb you but am just curious i expected you to be more..... -" " ? " i finished up for him "honey we come in different colors and sizes" "oh" he nodded in understanding "am also sorry if i upset you i have never spoken to black royalty before" "it's okay" i waved him off "am used to it". i would have concluded this class as done and dusted but when he was true he called me " fay? meet the class president thida sirivadhanabhakdi she 'll help you through the classes you missed" and he left. i was in an utter confusion "siri what? " chaoyi answered "vadhanabhakdi" i scrowled "is that a name or spell? " the people around me gigled "more like a curse" i muttered. Miss shalom and shy was kind enough to help take my things to my room it was a duo room just for two it looked fancy. my room mate was already in when i stepped in she was sitting on her bed still in uniform typing away on her phone "hey" i greeted, she looked at me...... for five whole minutes she glared at me, scoffed and continued typing on her phone. what was all the silence for? did i say something wrong? maybe she didn't understand, wasn't i speaking english? "hello am fay" silence "do you understand what am saying? " silence "hello!!! ". "can you shut the f**k up? " i gaped her english was good but did she just?oh my gosh how dare her! if she is being mean i will be the bigger person and walk away. i set about to arrange my things,making as much noise as i could yeah am never letting go of this grudge thats probably why am still short. now there are four drawers in total three were already occupied with my room mates property "you need to empty one more drawer for me" i said meekly and yet she ignored me i might as well take my revenge i dug my hand into the drawer and spilled all its content on the floor "what did you just do" i flinched i didn't expect her to come at me so quick i turned only to be face to face with her bust why are they so damn tall?. "taking out the trash obviously" i replied as cooly as i could all alarm bells went off in my head as soon as she grabbed my collar "help! help! mayday mayday help! " the door flung open and miss shalom and shy entered "whats going on here" immediately my room mate let go "she.. " i stuttered for dramatic effect "she is trying to kill me miss" "get this girl out" my room mate ordered. "this girl" miss shalom and shy said firmly "is your room mate" "i don't need a room mate" she glanced at me "and i don't even like this girl" i smiled deviously "believe me honey the feeling is mutual"
