Rowan’s POV

For days, Theo avoided me.

Not the casual kind of avoidance where you pretend not to see someone across the hall or keep conversations short.

No, this was a deliberate action.

Every time we were in the library, he made sure there was distance between us. If I stood by the shelves, he moved to the desk. If I was near the desk, he suddenly found something very important to do at the far end of the room.

  • Royal Rivalry    Mission impossible

    Theo’s POVIf I said I wasn’t scared, I would be lying.The fear in me wasn't the kind of fear you could laugh off or brush aside. It was different. It sat in my chest like a heavy stone, making every breath feel harder than it should be.My heart wouldn’t calm down. It kept beating faster and harder like it was trying to warn me to turn back.But I didn’t.I couldn’t turn back because Rowan and I had already decided. And once I made a decision like this, there was no backing out. Not even when it took us a full day to act. After our conversation in the library, we spent the whole day pretending everything was normal, to avoid suspicion.And now, it was the middle of the night with the kind of silence that made every little sound feel amplified.Everywhere was empty. No footsteps. No voices.Just the faint hum of a building that was supposed to be asleep.I walked carefully, afraid of being seen. Even my own shadow made me uneasy. I kept glancing behind me like someone might suddenly

    Rowan’s POVFor days, Theo avoided me.Not the casual kind of avoidance where you pretend not to see someone across the hall or keep conversations short.No, this was a deliberate action. Every time we were in the library, he made sure there was distance between us. If I stood by the shelves, he moved to the desk. If I was near the desk, he suddenly found something very important to do at the far end of the room.And his friends were always there like a shield. Like they were protecting him from me. Childish.What they were doing was completely childish.When I asked Leonie, she would explain that: “He’s thinking about it.” Another time, she said. “Just give him time.”Time?I didn’t have time.None of us did, but I didn’t argue with her.Arguing would only make it worse. So I kept quiet and waited. But as the days passed, nothing changed.Theo still avoided me. He still acted like I didn't exist. He still refused to acknowledge that I had told him something important… something da

  • Royal Rivalry    Overwhelming revelation

    Theo’s POVFor days, Leonie’s words didn’t leave my head. Even while I did everything to avoid them, they stayed there. Lingering and pressing, pushing me to act. Until now, Rowan’s story didn’t make sense to me. I still couldn't picture principal Whitcombe and Valecourt together. They just didn't seem right to me. But Leonie believed him.And Leonie wasn’t impulsive. She was never the type to jump into things blindly. If she said something felt off, then maybe it did. “Who do I even talk to about this?” The question slipped out before I could stop it.Because as much as I hated to admit it, I needed a second opinion. Someone who could think clearly, not emotionally or impulsively. I needed someone with logical reasoning. Julian was the first person to come to my mind. I scoffed lightly at the thought of it. “Absolutely not.”He would turn it into a joke within seconds. Or worse, he wouldn't even take me seriously at all. Noah?I hesitated, thinking about it again. Noah was… un

  • Royal Rivalry    LEONIE'S POV

    Leonie’s POVI had plans.Not so many of them but they were carefully thought out. I had perfectly arranged my life in my head and was certain that nothing could ruin my imaginations.I had strongly believed that my life would continue to go as it is written in my script. At least, to some extent. But I was wrong. It was as if the universe was reminding me of my place beneath it. All the plans I had, and the goals I set were now scattered after so many cracks. I wasn’t even sure if I had anyone to hold onto anymore. And the students in Hillsborough made it clear that they wanted me to break. They stared, whispered and stopped whenever I got closer.But I didn't break. Despite the situation, I couldn't bring myself to give up. Their stares were the least of my worries. My failed plan and my crumbling future was my priority.Rowan. He was my plan B after dumping Julian. I wanted to keep him for a promising future. It was supposed to be easy for me but it became an impossible task wh

  • Royal Rivalry    A new helper

    Rowan’s POVI knew it.I knew Theo would react badly. I knew he would argue. I knew he would resist.But I didn’t expect… those particular words.I stood in the middle of my room long after he left, staring at the closed door like it had personally offended me.“Messing with him?”I let out a dry, humorless laugh. Of all the words he could have used. Of all the ways he could have dismissed what I told him, he chose that.He even called it a prank.Like I had nothing better to do than make up stories about secret political groups and risk getting both of us into deeper trouble.Like I was joking or stupid.My jaw tightened.“No,” I muttered under my breath. “He is the stupid one.”I ran a hand through my hair, pacing the room as my frustration morphed into anger. I had gone back to Whitcombe’s office. I had stood there, listening to things I wasn’t supposed to hear. Things that could destroy families. Things that could drag us into something far bigger than school rules and punishment

  • Royal Rivalry    A truth or not

    Theo’s POVMy life had turned into the biggest scandal in the history of Hillsborough. Why was I ever desperate for attention? Why didn't I specify the type of attention I wanted before asking for it? Now, the universe has given me more than I could bear. Instead of fame, I had become infamous. Popular for the worst thing ever. Physically, I was sitting with my friends but my mind was elsewhere. It was everywhere. I thought about the repercussion of the video Marcus posted. I thought about the punishment principal Whitcombe gave me. I thought about my family's reaction if they found out that I was involved in the same scandal that sent me out of my previous school. My friends had been around me all evening, but they didn't know what was going on inside me. They talked about random things, I pretended to listen but I wasn't. Louis would have noticed because nothing seemed to escape his piercing gaze. But Julian and Noah… they wouldn't notice even if you call their attention to it.

    LEONIE'S POV If there was one thing Hillsborough never ran out of, it was handsome boys with inflated egos. And if there was one thing my friends never ran out of, it was commentary about them.Just like every evening before dinner, we were sprawled across Camilla’s bed, our academic problems aban

  • Royal Rivalry    No fair play

    Rowan's POV I woke up with a pounding in my head. The kind that made every blink hurt and every movement a minor annoyance. My eyes scanned the room and thankfully, the room was familiar. I was in my bed, I could see my window and other things but I couldn't see nor remember anything from last nig

  • Royal Rivalry    Warning from friends

    Theo's POV I shouldn’t have been smiling, but I was. Watching the video brought back everything I felt that night. I hate to admit it but if I was given the chance to go back to that night, I'd focus more on the kiss than making a video. But it's all good because I get to watch the video over and

    Rowan's POV I should have known better.I should have known that avoiding Theo in this school was never going to be simple.I had tried everything I could. Giving short answers, avoiding eye contact, walking different routes, sitting farther away in the dining hall. I even went to Principal Whitco
