Princess

Anna and I entered in the classroom and involved in our talks. Harry entered in and sat on the chair beside me. As soon as he sat beside me, everyone’s gaze fell on me and they all kept looking at me like I had done a crime.

“Stella! He sat beside you.” Anna, who sat to my right, said excitedly.

“I know Anna. I can see it.” I whispered.

Ignoring him I continued looking at my notes. After a minute, the professor entered in and started teaching.

Harry was looking at me smirking. I tried to not look at him but I ended up staring him. I got irritated with his behaviour and I asked angrily “Why did you sit beside me?” in a low voice.

“Why wouldn’t I sit beside you?” He questioned.

“You can’t reply to me with a question.” I said while acting like I was focusing on the class.

“I thought you were hurt because I was with Vickie. So I sat beside you to calm you down.”

Listening to him anger rushed through me. I slammed the table with my fist not making much sound and yelled in a low voice “Why the hell would I feel hurt? You can roam with Vickie or anyone, I don’t care. I just thought to tell you about her.”

“Stella! Cool.” He smirked.

We both kept talking to eachother that’s when the Professor shouted “You both!” He shouted pointed at us.

We then looked at him who was staring at us angrily.

“You Mr...?” The Professor pointed his marker to Harry.

“Harry. Harry Wilson.” Harry replied.

Then the Professor looked at me and I said “Stella Jones.”

“Yeah! Mr. Wilson and Ms. Jones! Am I disturbing you?” He shouted.

“No professor carry on.” Harry replied.

I looked at him with widened eyes. The professor grew angry and shouted “Mr. Wilson! Out of the classroom. Now.”

Without saying anything, Harry stood from the chair and started leaving the classroom. But before he left the classroom, he turned to me and shouted “Stella! Come out. You said the class was boring.”

“What!” I muttered and looked at the professor who was staring at me angrily. Harry smirked and walked out.

The professor gritted his teeth and shouted “Ms. Jones! Out.”

I let out a sigh irritatingly and stomped my foot. I walked out taking my books. I saw Harry scrolling his cell phone outside. I walked to him shouting “What the hell Harry? The professor threw me out.”

“The class was boring. I know you are feeling irritated too in the class. Enjoy now.” He smirked and walked away.

I huffed hearing him and sat on the bench cursing him. I started playing games on my cell phone. The class came to an end and I strolled in for the next class. Harry didn’t come which made me feel relaxed. He might be chilling at canteen or some other place.

After many hours of boring classes, Anna and I strolled out of the classroom and started walking to our houses. While we were walking, we were hindered by Vickie.

“Didn’t understand how the rich and sexy dude turn out to be your family friend.”

I heard Vickie's voice from behind. Anna and I turned back to see her along with her two minions.

“I too didn’t understand when he started talking to you.” I said looking at her.

“What’s the surprise? After all I’m the college beauty. Any guy could drool over me and chase after me.” Vickie said with a proud smirk.

“Everyone here knows who chase whom. Yesterday Roman, now Harry, who will be tomorrow?” I said with disgust tone.

She stepped forward and stood infront of me. It felt like she was crowding me as she was many inches taller than me. She crossed her arms and said “Who looks sexy than Harry.”

She then looked at Harry who was walking towards his car. He didn’t get in the car. He leaned his back to the bonnet and looked like he was waiting for someone.

“He is waiting for me.” Vickie said looking at him. “Bye. Bye.” She waved her hand while walking towards him.

Roman reached there and they both left leaving Vickie. She felt embarrassed as Anna and I started laughing.

“He is waiting for me.” I imitated her tone and walk. I stopped laughing and mocked “Yeah! He was waiting for you.”

Vickie gritted her teeth looking at me. Ignoring her, Anna and I continued our walk then reached our houses.

(Harry's POV)

By the time Roman and I reached my building, granny was already waiting for me. It’s not that late. Okay! I won’t lie, it’s just five hours late. It’s nearly night 9.

After college Roman and I kept roaming the town. It’s really a great place. Greenery and pleasant environment, surrounded by woods, which would be so cool to go for camps, you know... with girls to enjoy.

“I called you many times. Why didn’t you lift my calls?” My cute devil... my old gramophone... I mean my granny started shouting.

I didn’t lift her calls deliberately because I knew when I lift her calls she would shout and convince me to go home early.

Don’t scold me for neglecting and ignoring her calls. Yeah I know she is a patient and needs to be looked after her Every time. Come on! My parents are still staying here and I also appointed a nurse to stay with her whenever we won’t be with her.

My mom and dad will leave for city in two days as they have so many works. We have many businesses which were always taken care by my dad and my mom helps him in all the works.

I pinched her cheeks saying “I’m sorry. My cell phone was in silent mode.” I lied.

Did I mention I won’t lie, before? If yes, then scratch that. Who wouldn’t lie especially if their granny was waiting to start another world war for being late to home?

She looked at Roman and greeted him. Then we went in and she started asking about Roman's parents. We are distant relatives. Like to be precise, Roman’s dad was my granny’s sister’s son.

My mom and dad came out from their room. My parents too kept shouting at me but I ignored them. After few minutes of chat, we had our dinner. Roman and I already had but I didn’t want to disappoint my granny so we ate little along with her.

Then she took her tablet and strolled to her room. Dad and mom too went to their room. Roman and I climbed the stairs and reached the swimming pool beside my room. We both started drinking while enjoying our feet with the cool water in the pool.

“How’s the town, bro?” Roman asked.

“Yeah! Your town is cool with beautiful town girls everywhere.” I replied smiling.

“You were born here, Harry. It’s your hometown too.” Roman said.

“Whatever! Tell me about Vickie.” I asked while drinking.

“Vickie? What to tell about her?”

“Is she a slut? I heard many things about her. Also I could see her interest in me.”

“Yeah bro! She is a gold digger. Before you, she irritated me. She’ll be with a guy who looks good and rich.”

I hummed as a response listening to him. I kept drinking and all of a sudden Stella's face flashed my head.

“What about Stella?”

“Stella Jones! Damn a lot to tell about her, man.” He looked at me and continued saying “She is different from all other girls. I’ve been seeing her since I was a kid. Do you believe if I say she never had a boyfriend?”

“What? No boyfriend? I won’t believe it.” I said in a surprise tone.

“Harry! I’m telling the truth, man. She never had a boyfriend. She had friends but never ever crossed her limit.”

“Might be no one showed interest in her.” I said laughing.

“Doesn’t she look beautiful?” He asked in a shocked tone looking at me.

I recalled her face and automatically my lips curved up with smile.

“Yes she is beautiful.” I said smiling.

“A lot of guys were dying to talk to her, man. Most of them were feeling like it’s enough if she just look at them. She is the princess, Harry. Princess of this town.”

I chuckled hearing him and said “Princess? You are bragging about her.”

“Oh come on Harry! I know her. I too even tried to talk to her but she never showed any kind of interest in me. How weird it is... I mean a guy like me tried to talk to her.”

“Do you have crush on her?” I asked after listening to him.

“I had. In my school days. Just for two to three months. I tried for her but she didn’t show any interest so I backed off.”

“Interesting.” I said while sipping my drink.

“Yeah! I would like to see her boyfriend, Harry. Not only me, a lot of guys were waiting, I hope.”

I had many girlfriends but I never had a girl like Stella in my life. A sudden thought of being her boyfriend flashed my mind. I smiled at the thought.

Roman and I kept talking about many things. We then spent the time watching Netflix and then dozed off.
