"You have to wake up right now princess, you got school today. You cannot be late on the first day itself," Katy said softly and shook me gently.

"Oh yeah," I grumbled and slowly sat up. "Don't call me princess, Katy. Not even in the house, I don't want to get  busted. We cannot risk getting caught especially after all this . . . "

"I'm sorry, wouldn't happen next time," she apologised and I smiled woefully at her.

I could smell some aroma of food and something chocolatey which made me sniff. Katy smiled brightly and placed the tray of breakfast which was initially kept on the nightstand on the bed. It consisted of waffles, cream and fruits. She walked out of my bedroom while I had already started eating and reappeared with a mug of hot chocolate. Perfect.

I finished eating when Katy called out to someone. A small crowd of two ladies and three men huddled up together, entered my room. The ladies wore white shirt, black, knee-length pencil skirt and block heel sandals. The men were dressed neatly in their black and white suits, cool sunglasses and their hair was gelled back.

"Before I introduce them, do you want anything added to this room?" Katy asked rather formally and I shook my head.

"Nothing really, this room is very pretty Katy," I complimented and sipped the hot chocolate.

"Wonderful!" Katy glanced at the mini-squad of strange people who I was looking at curiously. I quitely wiped my hot chocolate moustache and raised my right eyebrow at the crowd. Their expressions was very absurd, it was in between looking solemn and smiling, but they pulled it off correctly to let me know that they respected me. But, the uncomfortable silence was annoying me.

Katy flashed a bright smile at them and said, "Er . . . meet the ladies, Rita and Mary. They are the housekeepers and will look after your every need. And those gentlemen over there will be your new bodyguards."

"Cool, but won't these 'bodyguards' attract attention?" I asked and licked my lips while narrowing my eyes at them.

The tall, muscular, black man from the group of three stepped forward and pushed himself through the ladies who frowned at him. But he smiled cheerfully at us, flashing his pearly white teeth, completely ignoring the ladies.

He bowed his head low and said, "Princess, we won't attract much attention because from tomorrow, I wouldn't be wearing this suit and sunglasses. I'll be dressed as a civilian and I'll be your driver too."

I nodded while returning his contagious smile. He removed his sunglasses and tucked them in the upper pocket of his dress shirt. He had black, twinkling and friendly eyes. He seemed to be in his early thirties and looked absolutely charming with his fit body.

"Amelia, this is Jack. He'll drive you to school from today onwards," Katy said nervously and glanced at Jack. Jack winked at her playfully which made her blush. The crowd behind them cleared their throat as if notifying them of their presence.

"Those two other bodyguards will be called whenever necessary while I'll be staying here in this house. Hope you wouldn't mind princess, it's an order from the King," Jack stated and I just shrugged.

One of those bodyguards that Jack mentioned was short and bald. He had an extra-long, pointed nose resembling Pinocchio but in a very creepy way. He had a big mole sitting on the right side of his cheek. I noticed the mole had tiny hair growing which made me internally gag.

I snapped out of my weird thoughts and subconsciously nodded again at Jack who couldn't keep his eyes off Katy.

"Hi, I'm Amelia Parker," I introduced with a lot of confidence in my voice and subconsciously curtsied.

Why even I did that . . . I didn't know.

All the students in the class stared at me like I had swallowed a giant hippo in front of them and I just laughed, waving off their suspicion.

"Well . . . Okay then, Miss Parker. You may take your seat," the teacher said and I nodded.

I looked thoroughly at the whole class to find a spot to sit while the teacher patiently waited for me. I half-smiled at her and quickly sat beside a red-head, avoiding the death stares of the people around me.

I was pretty confident and bold in front of a crowd. I was used to the feeling of being exposed to a huge audience, but today was different. I had to act like a shy nerd who was a social outcast to not attract unnecessary attention. I had to be invincible.

The girl beside whom I sat had wild curly, red hair and she still wore braces. She welcomed me warmly by flashing her neon coloured braces and I returned back a sweet smile while taking out my history book.

I didn't even know the basics of this country's history very well, let alone I had to know this advanced history. I should have learnt and done some research before hand. Besides history, all the other subjects except the ever-struggling Math, was pretty easy for me, especially languages. I could fluently speak, read and write in English, French, Spanish and Mandarin, something about these languages was always appealing to me.

So, here I was stuck listening to the French teacher who was pronouncing each word ten times which made it even more confusing because half the time it sounded like some buddhist mantra.

Noah and pretty much all the students including me had all the classes together, since this school was located in the beautiful countryside and did not have many students. Moreover, there weren't many options for subjects either which forced me to take up history.

This was the only highschool in the entire town. My gaze swept over the class one more time to notice that Noah sat behind me, leaving two benches. The awkward moment was when our eyes met and we just looked at each other, before I tore my gaze away from him.

I learnt that my partner's name was Peyton, but people called her Ginger, obviously because of her gorgeous hair. Ginger was indeed pretty with her red hair and tanned skin. Her bright brown eyes and the genuine smile that was always plastered on her face made her look even more prettier. She pretty much resembled the female lead from the animated movie, 'Brave.'

At lunch time, I sat with Ginger and her friends - the bubbly twins, Anne and Marya. Noah was sitting with the large group of noisy boys. I learnt from the twins that Ginger and Noah's best friend Chad had something juicy going on. They were the new couple of the town but they hadn't admitted it yet.

"Amelia, I heard you're the next-door neighbour of Noah? It's a small town, so we pretty much know everything," Ginger asked while slurping her milkshake. I quietly bit into my sandwich and nodded. The twins were fighting over a piece of gum and I laughed lightly.

"Ignore Anne and Marya, they're always like that. But you know you're quite lucky to be Noah's neighbour. Look at him, he's hot and single. Besides, he has a good heart," Ginger said sincerely and then playfully winked at me.

"Well, erm let's see," I said dismissively which made Ginger laughed and she twirled her curly hair between her fingers.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Noah and our eyes met for the second time as I sat frozen. My heart hammered against my chest wildly and my breath hitched when he didn't look away. Unfortunately, his deep blue eyes left mine as soon as Chad smacked his arm and started to tease him. I sighed wearily and brought my attention back to our table where Ginger was grinning widely at me.

    Five Years Later :The sky was so dull and grey like it could start raining any second and the biting cold wind caressed my bare arms. My lips quivered and I rubbed my arms to give me some warmth. The dark, green grass underneath tickled my ankles through my sandals. I was dressed in a plain black dress which was soaked wet, either by my tears or rain. The driver held an umbrella over my head which seemed useless. He handed me a fresh red rose and the thorns pricked my fingers, but I cared less for I stood in front of the grave of a great man."Madam, it's time to go," the driver said and I nodded. I prayed for a few minutes and sat near the grave stone, placing the fresh rose there. I wiped my tears and whispered, "I'll always love you and your sacrifice wouldn't go in vain, I promise."I got up, straightening my dress and followed the driver towards the car. The driver shut the door when I got in and I looked over the cemetery. My eyes were fixed on the rose which looked more fresh

    "Little Princess, come out. If you don't, then say goodbye to this kid," Ethan said coldly as his eyes were searching all the blonde masked women present in the room. I was safe behind the pillar and he couldn't even see me, but I needed to go to Ethan so I could save Kyle."Noah, let go off me, I need to go! Please, let me go!" I protested, struggling against him as he leaned closer, trapping me more."No, stay right here," he whispered and my eyebrows furrowed."What is wrong with you?! Kyle is your brother, damn! Don't you care about him-mmphn!"Noah placed his large hand over my mouth as I wriggled against him. I was in a state of bewilderment since I couldn't believe that Noah was so evil. He was always loving and caring then what happened today? How could he leave Kyle right there in the arms of the ruthless murderer?"Princess, come out . . . This is my last warning, enough with this game of a mouse. You do care about this child, don't you?" Ethan asked with a sinister smirk an

    I hid behind Noah and Kyle, my body trembling with fear. Noah pulled me in front of him by my arm and I pleaded him with my wide eyes. He knelt down and let go of Kyle who ran away immediately to play around. I could hear footsteps approaching me and I shuddered."Amelia? What are you doing on the floor?" I heard Carla's soft voice. I was actually holding Noah's leg while he tried his best to lift me up. I looked like a crazy, mad woman and prayed that nobody noticed me in this position. I felt a soft tap on my shoulder and I flinched. Noah finally pulled me up and forced me to turn around as my head hung low in shame."Amelia, it's okay, I know everything. Your dad informed me everything and it's okay," Carla said and smiled ruefully."He did?" I asked in astonishment and she nodded. I had been staring at her gorgeous heals for a while, but after I heard her, I lifted my head up and gazed at her curiously. Both Carla and Katy smiled warmly at me.How could they forgive me? They were

    "You're still not ready? The guests have already arrived for the ball." Noah stood at the doorstep while I was struggling with putting on the dress. It was forest green in colour and glamorous, but it was long and I had to be careful to not trip on it since I was wearing emerald studded stilettoes, one of the most expensive footwear I owned.Yes, it was the designer's idea to waste such expensive gems on shoes although they looked beyond amazing. The dress had an attached emerald necklace and the dress was simple enough to let the necklace and the shoes stand out. It had strings instead of a zipper which annoyed me the most, but the fabric was so delicate and smooth."I'm waiting for the maid, she'll help me with this dress. I can't reach till the back and pull the strings," I said and continued battling the war with the dress."I'll help you with that then." Noah walked and stood behind me. I pushed my long, blonde hair on one side of the neck and cocked my head. His fingers trailed

    "You were going back home, so go away. You needn't stay here for a selfish soul. It's like I'm blackmailing you and it's making me feel more guilty. The feeling is getting worse, Noah and I don't think I can bear it. I give up. I don't deserve to live. I really don't--- ""I care about you! I was just going to tell you that I already forgave you and if you see, it wasn't really your fault. It was my dad's job to protect you and I know you had to keep it confidential so don't do this," he spoke so softly and gingerly, but I shook my head. I couldn't get distracted. I had already disappointed numerous people and I didn't deserve to live, I had inflicted much pain on everyone around me already."You needn't do this. I know you're doing this to save me--- "I was cut off mid sentence when I saw Emma entering in calmly, pressing the button of her wheelchair. She didn't give any reaction as I threatened to kill myself, but she didn't listen to me. My body was shaking to take any spontaneous

    I was sprawled on the bed, my pillow soaked with tears. I was so dehydrated and exhausted. Zen had helped me to cope up with my issues, but the moment he left and I was alone, I got those same dreaded thoughts back. Everything was my fault and I deserved to carry the entire burden on my shoulders.Countless maids tried to feed me, butI just couldn't swallow a morsel of food. My chest felt tight and I couldn't breathe properly. My eyes barely could open because of the puffiness and heaviness.There was a knock on the door and the next moment, the door flung open and in came my mum, unannounced. With great difficulty, I sat up on the bed, leaning against the wall. Mum strode briskly and sat on the chair erectly."Why are you here now?" I asked as mum never came up to me to ask or talk about my problems. The maids were sent instead of her. Dad was with Emma looking over her operation. I felt horrible for not being there for Emma. I didn't had the strength to face the challenges, but mos
