Chapter 3-Favor
“See you around Curly,” I mocked Crimson’s idiotic voice as I stalked through the hallways of RHA.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6TX7GEKH3J
Pinky was still shockingly still by my side. Meh, she’s only slightly annoying and she makes some good ass jokes so her presence next to me can be tolerated. And it was kind of - dare I say it....nice to have an acquaintance.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbzZybf2eTs
“Just who does he think he is touching me like that?” I raved as I struggled to unlock my locker. What dumbass designed these things with combinations anyway? It should’ve been something simpler!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMiUh522CUD
“Don’t be upset, Crimson Cross was the hottest guy at Edensville High!” Pinky said as if that would cheer me up.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmHhNYuX2AA
“Firstly, I don’t care how fucking gorgeous he is, I can have him hanged for harassing me!” I seethed. “An secondly, what the fuck is Edensville High?”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8k8dwi2CZV
Pinky looked at me dumbfounded. “You’re kidding, right?”1023Please respect copyright.PENANANNdhzYRCyi
“Do you see a fucking smile on my face?” I pointed to my face that was straight as a board.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQRdoRXSHDF
“Edensville is a city in the Heartlands, and Edensville High is the school that I transferred from, and also Crimson.”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzIzlo83GxT
Edensville.Edensville. Now it’s coming back to me. Edensville was a considerably large city but it was filled with poor fuckers. How can Pinky and Crimson even step foot into the capital coming from a derogatory place like that?1023Please respect copyright.PENANA65fYpDJFk4
.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtSR5uSDs9r
.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAokf9Zn0TbZ
.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4YJTaYn7I0
Hold up, the capital aside. How the hell are they even affording coming to this school?1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIoPuhvZNWl
“Edensville is practically third world compared to the capital,” I said flipping my curls over my shoulder. “How are you even in this school then?”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzqeQzznDz9
Pinky seemed to take offense to my “third-world-comparison”, but it’s not like I’m going to apologize- I mean come on, it’s true!1023Please respect copyright.PENANArQsx19Jt6B
“Wealthy families were offering scholarships to the top five students in my school to attend RHA. Crimson and I were in it, and now we’re living here with host families.” She explained.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1YWOIpBGts
“That dumbass is smart,” I said shocked. Hmm, I feel suspicious about that.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ4yGH3t8v
“Is that the only thing you gathered from that?” Pinky raised an eyebrow. “Hmm maybe you do have a crush on Crimson after all.”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAuJOOCJGnAl
“EXCUSE ME!” I screeched in her ear. “THE ONLY FEELING I HAVE FOR THAT FUCKER IS HATRED. HATRED THAT BURNS AND FUELS MY SOUL LIKE THE FIERY WHITE HOT PASSION OF A THOUSAND SUNS!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAl7qMUlRhac
“Ouch, that’s pretty harsh to hear Curly, especially since I was oh so nice to you,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANApGzJ9yKipw
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqLAr9SXKAz
I slowly craned around to see the dumbass-in-statement standing there smirking at me with his arms crossed. Now that he had taken of his hoodie and rolled up the sleeves on his white shirt, I could see how defined and toned his arms were. They literally looked like gold!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPKLM03Ty8j
“It seems that I’ve once again left you speechless,” He said. “And hello Lacey, nice to see you again!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2ayooCnFLj
“Likewise,” She gave him a friendly nod.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyHJirWphcy
“DON’T TALK TO HER!” I shouted standing in front of Pinky protectively.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQE89jWIuQp
“Oh and why not?” He leaned my locker. “I knew her way longer than you have,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANANY253tTLqy
“Well I don’t give a fuck,” I mockingly said. “Now get out of here you’re not wanted!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoLlRYkLN6N
“If you can lift me up and move me then fine,” He leaned down closer to my face.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbbYlwXWU4A
I immediately began blushing and flipped my hair over my shoulder before tugging with me, but she began to struggle in my grasp.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASflBh66jkf
“I’m sorry Alex but I have to leave,” She said grabbing her bag. I checked the clock on the wall to see that it was indeed 12:05PM. “My foster mother is waiting outside for me. I’ll see you tomorrow, yeah?”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqeCwVEKJw8
I can’t believe it! My sole acquaintance just left me in the alone in these forsaken hallways with this dumbass from hell! “Yeah, yeah whatever bye!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANADtccZj0nRt
I watched, almost sadly as she strolled out the doors-and as soon as she did, it felt like the air in here got twice as hot. Sucking my teeth, I turned around to grab my bag, which was placed right in front of the asshole. If my phone wasn’t in there, I would’ve left the bag without a second thought.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAslri5u7fCz
I quickly snatched my bag and placed it over my shoulder but as soon as I was about to turn around, I was yanked back and was pressed against the lockers. Crimson used both his arms as a cage to trap me while smirking down at me-his lips dangerously close to mine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyDKvP61SvL
“You know Curly,” He started. “You’ve got such a dirty mouth for a princess,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAavPLFqalkw
Sweat was rolling down my head in bullets at this point. I couldn’t utter a single insult at him, or even form a legible word!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUiQDeCrPm7
“H-Huh?” I stammered dumbly as I tried to control my racing heart.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVbgySpD2HS
He chuckled as he moved his hands slowly down my back, leaving a trail of fire behind before he rested them firmly on my waist.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWVF7gdnZ6K
“Hmm, I love a girl with curves, In my opinion, you’re better looking than your sister,” He seductively said in my ear.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjXj0HKOdK0
Did I just hear him right or is he blind? Grace was the epitome of beauty! I can’t even compete with her in that.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIkUJyRktlC
“What?” He asked taking in my shocked face. “You don’t think so? Hmph, you would think with that attitude of yours you would be more self-confident.”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvJVeyLc0Qc
“I am confident,” I regained my voice but it was still trembling. I’ve got to get out of here, this guy was making me lose my mind!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOa24DVV9co
“Oh really, then prove it,” He said as he lifted me higher against the wall to bring our faces to equal heights. “Kiss me,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA28wjvpNlPU
My eyes widened and I wiggled in his grasp to touch the ground. “What? No-let me down!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2kjCnUVvIj
“If you’re confident, then you wouldn’t have a problem kissing me right?” He smirked as his fingers rubbed small circles on my waist and it made me feel hazy. Fuck, I’m going to faint!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAF28Ijewr4O
Thankfully, the buzzing of my cellphone broke me the enchanted spell he had on me and I struggled even harder to get out out his grasp.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqWPHMjRsph
“Put me down you dumbass!” I seethed pushing him back, which made me drop on my feet.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXY8ZyPaRD2
I quickly took out my phone to see that it was a text from the transportation team. My limo was awaiting me outside. Finally! I need to get out here.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9AJUfRlU8D
“”Move, I’m going home,” I pushed him aside and got back in my stride.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9IeC3WCKcz
But I hadn’t even walked three steps before I felt the elastic on my thigh-high socks being pulled before they were released and slapped me on the back of my thighs. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbsctjUivHc
“Ouch-WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?” I glared at him as I rubbed my now stinging thighs.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAshAPSX7KKX
But he just grinned before turning around and walking the other way. “See you around Curly!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUMKbEu3GVU
There it was again. That stupid “See you around Curly!” that I knew he was just mocking me with.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAe33HZn1H3K
“I HATE YOU,” I screamed at his back before angrily stomping out the building.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4MvmcJVSHC
Would you believe that these idiotic people were still crowded around here! Don’t these people have a life of sorts?1023Please respect copyright.PENANAn3X1qqO3Un
I was in a terrible mood and everyone could sense it, they immediately shut up when I walked past them. My driver audibly gulped as he held the door open for me. Taking one look at my icy glare, he didn’t even bother asking me how my day was.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAObY10ZnMjc
“C-Can I get you anything to make the ride more comfortable Princess?” He nervously asked from the window.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAc2C7Llv4eI
Smiling sweetly I looked up at him. “Yes, you can get your pathetic, worthless ass in the fucking limo and drive me back to the damn palace in less than ten minutes or else I’ll fire you!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvJHqZS3GE0
“B-But Princess it’s a fifteen minute distance between RHA and the palace I can’t possibly-”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAi3yaQkp2Uq
“Well then you better hire me a fucking police escort and get me there in less than ten minutes because I will not hesitate to fire your incompetent ass and hire someone more qualified for the job!” I seethed as I roughly grabbed the collar of his shirt.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXST0QVl7Pq
Unable to say anything back to me. He just nodded and pulled out his phone to get me my escort. And of course, I arrived at the palace in seven minutes!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAeQaCWpdFMK
Oh man it’s good to be a princess!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQfPyaNoTSv
...1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjo0BODeMih
“What?” I said annoyed at the mousy maid in front of me. She was shaking like leaf.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2OMaVrGlbl
“S-Sorry to bother you Pr-Princess but...” She trailed off, mumbling illegibly under her breath.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtFvhdKBTpm
“If you’re mumbling like a dumbass how the fuck do you expect me hear you?” I glared. “SPEAK UP!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWhkAOkiVnb
“The King and Queen have requested your presence for dinner this evening!” She rushed out before bowing.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASkgTNqBTKe
What the hell do those fuckers want? We live in the same palace but I haven’t seen them in nearly a month. Of course their is family dinner every evening, but I refuse to partake in it because it’s fucking pointless! I’d rather eat alone in my room.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAW2I3Rjzfrm
“Well tell them I said fuck no,” I smiled falsely before slamming the door in her face, but an outstretched foot stopped it.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxefnhPa76i
Their was only person I knew with a big ass foot like that. I glared up at the primitive bitch in front of me. Fucking Clarice.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ0JRVqNJr
“What do you want you old hag?” I seethed as I repeatedly tried to shut the door but she barged her way into my bedroom.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAj6pyO0TEYq
She glared at me but didn’t say anything about my insult. “Prince Arthur has returned to the palace this morning and your parents would like for you to be in attendance at dinner to celebrate his first night back.”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhiEkrN246f
Arty’s back? He was traveling the globe all summer doing charity work and I hadn’t seen him since May. Needless to say, Arty was not only my favorite sibling, but my favorite person. Sure we still fought sometimes but he is the only person who truly understands me and the only one who is interested in understanding me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOUgX7UMRSa
“Fine,” I rolled my eyes.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAH0L2RzKRxt
Clarice was shocked at my easy acceptance but didn’t question it. “Dress appropriately,” She said before slamming the door behind her.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIJqRZV1rVJ
I’m ecstatic that Arty is back but that also mean that I have to sit down at a table for two fucking hours with the rest of my annoying family!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsXHwYhn5LC
...1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYIopH6Kp4i
“I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY!” Clarice shouted at me as I stood in front of the dining room doors.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAd6F2fvdzgN
I was previously wearing gray sweat pants and a stained white T-shirt. I changed the white T-shirt to a navy one and continued wearing my sweats. Also I was bare-footed. But it’s not like this is a state dinner or anything!1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4tach51edu
“Listen you crusty bitch, leave me the fuck alone!” I glared at her. “I can wear whatever the hell I want! Now leave me be and go scrub some toilets because cleaning up shit is the only thing that you’re good for in life!” 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7L0LLtTenU
“One day you will regret all the wrong that you’ve ever said to people little girl,” Clarice backed away as she glared at me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYVKqo6iimq
“Whatever,” I answered sarcastically. “I’m sure your pathetic husband also regrets marrying you!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4kC0jsbqyv
“YOU’RE CRUEL!” She shouted as tears streamed down her face. “MAX DOES HIS BEST TO TAKE OF ME AND-”1023Please respect copyright.PENANARKTLWJzj7p
“Well obviously his best is not good enough because both of you look like shit,” I rolled my eyes. “Now you can decide to stay out here and cry about your fruitless existence or, you can scrub my bathroom spotless for my return or else your little niece that was just hired will be out of a job.”1023Please respect copyright.PENANARaERWdbkMA
“You wouldn’t!” Clarice dared.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAct2AurmBiW
“Oh I would!” I smirked. “I have Royal Privilege over her so I can take her out of a job fast. Your choice Clarice!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3oLKsFVYIi
“YOU’RE A DEMON!” She shouted at me before scurrying off to my wing of the palace.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8q8fErdrU8
“I know,” I whispered emotionless.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoWgxXypkwj
Suddenly the doors to the dining hall flew open and the identical sandy curls of Arty came into view. Though he was five years older than me, we could easily pass for twins. We had the same sandy curls and electric blue eyes.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5HbnMnjy9Q
“ALEX!” He beamed as he caught sight of me. He ran over and pulled me into his arms, spinning me around a few times before setting me back on my feet. “I thought you weren’t coming!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAAHxP18qLlz
“To see them, hell no. To see you, hell yeah!” I grinned as I embraced him tightly.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8U3t2iDpb8
“Come on Alex don’t be like that,” He said leading him inside the dining room. “Mom and Dad said that they haven’t seen you in weeks and that they really missed you.”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAb9kbZulfmE
“Oh please,” I scoffed. “Firstly, if they really missed me, they would’ve come to see me. Secondly, that old fart we call our father barely remembers our names. He just realized Leo and Liam were different people two months ago! He’s always high and stink of weed and that botched piece of plastic we call our mother only cares about Grace and her damn botox!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXBocrNm4Z6
“Hmph, you would think that a month in that dungeon of yours would change your nasty attitude,” The Botched Bitch, AKA, my mother said sneering at me. Her bright and shiny golden hair, that she shared with Grace and the twins, flowed down her back. Her big electric blue eyes that were identical to Arty’s and mines shone brilliantly under the jade chandelier. She appeared to be no older than thirty, but she was actually forty five. Her lips looked like fucking balloons with the amount of plastic surgery she had on them. Everything about her was fake, straight down to her personality.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPZIvOUSHMo
“You would think that all those plastic surgeries would make you a fucking delight to behold but sadly you’re the same broken bitch that you are on the inside,” I retorted snarkily.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZfwWKahAgw
“Fucking bitch!” She stood up to slap me but was held back by Arty.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwtdZ54WHf0
“I learned from the best, mother dear.” I responded sarcastically as I took a seat as far away from her that was unfortunately between Liam and Grace.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArrmQBEEzwK
“Now now!” My father tried to settle us down. “If you’re gonna fight, don’t do it on my fucking time!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqqBZ32YEVf
“Father please don’t encourage them with the use of obscene language!” Grace interjected.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMRtrwpM1zC
“Listen Blondie,” He lit up a cigar. “Why don’t you just sit tight like a good girl alright?”1023Please respect copyright.PENANARuPW47sWY5
She immediately fell back and shut up. Her face fell just for a few seconds before it was relighted with her dazzling smile.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFWqUJgN1X3
“Don’t talk to Grace like that!” My mother flared up from her seat.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoempLWfev4
“Everyone please just calm down,” Arty said. “We’re here to have a nice family dinner so let’s do that...please,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcSdMAF1Pfd
My mother and I glared intensely at each other for the remainder of the time that we had to spend in each other’s presence. Grace nor the twins never spoke unless they were being directly spoken to. The twins were occupied on their phones the entire time so they didn’t really care. But Grace sat their with her perfect smile on show; it not faltering for even a second.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyHdHj551Kl
“Well, this was uhh-nice, to spend time with my family upon my return,” Arty nervously laughed.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtQBSB3xJTo
“Was it really now Adrian?” My father asked him sarcastically.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwx4borwKc9
“I-It’s Arthur Dad,” Arty said crestfallen. He shouldn’t let it bother him. The old fart doesn’t call anyone’s name. Referring to Arty as boy, Grace as blondie, the twins as...twin and myself as brat. But when it comes to the public eye, he’ll pretend as if he’s the world most loving father calling us each by affectionate nicknames and telling the world how much of a “proud” father he is.1023Please respect copyright.PENANACEYnJ4xjPO
“It was a fucking disaster!” I seethed. “It would’ve been better if it was just the two of us,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9R3cYWI3wm
“Maybe if you would stop being such a little fucker, we could all get along like a “happy little family!” My mother sarcastically said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAG1INHA3BrT
“PLEASE STOP!” Grace snapped as she stood up from the table. Tears streaming down her face. “Just stop,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0akvDjw15
“What the fuck are you crying for bitch?” I said pushing her. “We’re not talking about you right?”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAltSgqsm4pp
“ALEXANDRA!” Arty boomed. I was stunned, he hadn’t called me by my full name in a while. “Just leave alright, you’re upsetting Grace,”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtwgNws2hsS
My jaw dropped as I scoffed at him. “Are you actually choosing her over me? I thought I was your favorite!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANARd5jMBxtH2
“This has nothing to do with favoritism!” He said hugging a now sobbing Grace. My mother was also by her side rubbing her back reassuringly while my father looked on in amusement. The twins were so occupied with their phones that they probably weren’t even hearing us.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAW9WMLqQkfV
“You’re overreacting!” I pushed Grace again but this time she fell to the floor with a hard smack.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6m2qltDaI2
“GRACE!” My mother and Arty shrieked as they went to her aid.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAb0a36vrH02
“YOU’RE A CRAZY BITCH!” My mother screamed at me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAb1o1ooLzdW
“No it’s my fault for insulting her mom, I’m sorry Alex,” Grace said looking up at me teary eyed. A red bruise was forming on the cheek that had collided with the floor.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFcApT2zQmO
“Of course it’s your fault!” I seethed. “EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANACNucMYi7ut
“LEAVE!” Arty boomed at me. “GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM ALEXANDRA!”1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnirbdCbDae
How could he say that to me? Why is he taking her side? He said that I’m his favorite sister so he should be siding with me. I always side with him on everything!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAihgIRzGQDY
“B-But Arty-” I started but he cut me off.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAApbs5ahVQG
“I said leave Alexandra, and I mean it,” He glared as he lifted Grace into his arms.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxTgjlcpNLi
I can’t believe it. He actually chose her over me. I was boiling over inside, filled with an unknown emotion. It felt like a lump was in my throat and I couldn’t breathe.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAV26kbFAgam
“WHATEVER YOU ASS!” I screamed at him before bolting out of there.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAiL9jcBe8hv
I ran all the way to my bedroom and a stream of tears flowed down my face as I sobbed. Why is it always Grace? Everyone always chooses her over me! But I’d never thought that Arty would side with her too. The one person who I could actually tolerate just told me to leave.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASWTVXyk5p5

Fine, whatever I don’t need him. I don’t need any of them. They can all rot in hell for all I care! 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoSVmqnAGPb
I don’t need anyone!1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYAP5vMPxSL
