Once Upon A Princess

Chapter 8 - What Will Happen?

I arrived at the classroom and saw that Sherrie was already inside the room with Caroline but Sherrie looked like she was in a bad mood. I went towards them and noticed Caroline shaking her head, for me not to go any further but I am stubborn and decided to went near them.

"Good morning." I greeted Sherrie but she never glanced in my direction to greet me.

"Did something happen?" I asked beginning to get worried but she stood up from her seat right that instant and went out of the room.

Didn't she hear the bell already rang for the first period?

Where is she going?

Right then, I saw our class president go in front and announced that there will be an emergency faculty meeting and will end until the next period.

"So..." I heard Caroline begin to talk so, I shifted my gaze towards her who looked so excited without me even saying anything.

"Who is that?" She added as she began to tap the table with her long slender fingers.

"He is the one..."

I was unable to finish what I was saying anymore when she squealed out of nowhere.

"I knew that it was him! I saw it straight to your face you were red as a tomato." She said laughing out loud so I quickly covered her mouth with my hand because everyone is already staring at us.

"Lower down your voice," I warned and she stopped then shove my hand away from her mouth.

"So, it was him?" She asked making sure and I nodded in return.

"Did I really turn red?" I asked worried and she nodded while shutting her mouth tight, stopping herself from laughing anymore.

"He is hot and handsome as fuck... if he just got rid of those glasses." She said but I hardly agree with that since I like him in every way. Yet, I am curious as to how he looks without those glasses.

"Aren't you curious what he looked like?" She asked all of a sudden as if she was reading my mind.

"Try to look at him without one and please take a picture." She said grinning like a devil but I can't guarantee that I will be able to do so. In the end, I nodded because I want to see him without one too.

"Aren't you curious to what is below that shirt of his? Do you think he has eight-pack abs or just six?" She asked which made me flinch and swallow hard after I remember the incident that happened in my brother's room... bathroom to be exact.

"Wait... did you already see it?" Caroline asked in shock and it took me seconds to react that is why she found out that I did.

"You haven't seen him without glasses but you already what is below that shirt. Damn girl! What the hell did you do?" She asked curiously so, I leaned forwards to her slowly.

"I saw him in the bathroom..." I whispered and she unexpectedly smacked the s**t out of me.

"I envy you! Damn! He got you bad Nat." She said dumbfounded and I can't help but agree with that.

She is right he got me hardly falling in love with him but... I don't know if I will be able to make him do so too.

After our class for the day, I went back from school and felt tired so I hurriedly went to my room to rest while removing my vest and shoes as I went up the stairs. However, the moment that I arrived in my room, I saw someone inside and my eyes widened by surprise when I realized who it was. I fixed my posture right away and fixed my shirt that got messed up when I removed my vest a while ago.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked calmly and he glanced in my direction when he heard me. He was holding onto a vacuum which only means that he was cleaning the room. I got embarrassed because I thought that he was waiting for me inside to talk about what just happened at school but my bad... he was simply cleaning my room.

"Why are you doing this? We have maids to do this." I said and was about to snatch the vacuum from his hand but he avoided me causing me to fall straight onto the bed. He was able to hold onto my shirt to stop me yet, suddenly... it ripped and I literally smacked onto my bed. I slowly stood up and looked at him but froze when I felt a sudden breeze coming from my back then my eyes shifted to his hand that had a piece of cloth... my uniform was torn.

"I-I'm sorry. Here... let me try to..." He said and immediately went towards me in a panic not even thinking about what will others think if someone found us inside the room while I am looking like this.

"E-Ethan... Calm down." I said and hold onto his hand but I stiffen when I realized that I did that bravely.

"Natalie?" He asked because my mind went blank just like that.

"You know what... you should leave before my brother finds you here," I said trying to push him outside but he wasn't budging from where he was and was just looking at me.

"I'm sorry." He apologized once again.

"It's alright. No harm done. I have tons of uniforms in my closet there is no need to be upset." I answered but stopped when it sounded like I was bragging off. I didn't mean to sound like that and in front of him at that. What if he thinks of me like I am some kind of spoiled kid just like my brother has said? I don't want him to look at me like that.

"No... not that." He responded which made me frown.

"I was apologizing for the way that I acted at your school. You looked so uncomfortable so I decided to butt in and tried to help but I think that I only made it worse." He said which left me speechless.

"No, you didn't," I answered but he shook his head as an answer.

"I didn't think of my actions that time so will you please forgive me and... forget about what happened." He said which made me feel numb. He... wants me to forget what happened a while ago when he admitted to all of the students on the campus that he was my boyfriend.

"Why?" The only question that was in my head.

"It will be for your own good." He said smiling. I bit my lip hard to stop myself from getting irritated with him.

"Fine." I now said and turned my back from him so that he won't be able to see my face that is already crying.

I heard his footsteps getting farther away from mine but just then, I heard the door slam onto the walls of my room, and when I glanced at the doorway. I was in shock to see that my brother was there.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?" He asked in disbelief.

"I can explain," Ethan said but surprisingly Nicolas went straight to me.

"What did you do?" He asked but I frowned looking at him.

Why the hell is he asking me this when I am obviously...

I paused when I saw that something was dripping onto the floor.

"What happened?" I asked stunned and went towards Ethan hurriedly. I was unable to see that he got injured.

"Where did you get this? Why?" I asked worried and take off my uniform to stop the bleeding on his arm.

"NATALIE!" Nicolas shouted out of the blue which snap me back to reality and made me turn to him angrily.

"Can't you see that he is hurt?" I asked but to my surprise, Nicolas covered my body with my blanket.

"Can't you see that you are naked?" He now asked which made me slowly look at myself. I was unable to even notice because I thought the vest was the one that I removed. I took a glimpse at the man in front of me and he wasn't looking in my direction. I don't know how long has he been like that but... I will be glad if he wasn't looking at me at that moment, I took my shirt off because it will make me want to hide underground due to embarrassment.

"I will clean his wound. Change into your clothes and we will eat dinner." Nicolas now said as he assisted his friend out of the room.

I looked around me and looked for something that have harmed him and saw the vacuum. I scanned and checked if he could be hurt from this and noticed that something was already loose from the top. He must have hit it when I fell.

Oh! Nat... what the hell are you doing?

Should you be executing your plans now?

Why does it keep on postponing?

I sighed heavily as I threw myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling of my room.

It is hard to make someone look in your direction. This might be what it feels like when a man is courting a girl that doesn't like her at all... just like that guy from school.

What if I just stop and give him a chance?

What will happen then... right?
