"Maa, don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, Katy is there to look after me," I reassured my mum repeatedly who seemed to show some concern for me even after what I had done.I glanced at Katy, our loyal maid and a good friend of my mum. My family could trust her always, especially my mum. I could hear my mum instructing me sadly to be cautious always. Even though I had totally messed up and now was running away to hide, she still cared for me a little which was overwhelming. Fresh tears welled up in my eyes and I tried to ignore my melancholy. I quietly looked at the narrow streets lined up with trees and bushes and agreed with whatever my mum was saying on the phone. We were going to live near the countryside, far away from the hustle and bustle of the hectic city life."Princess, we have arrived," Katy announced while adjusting my feigned glasses and wig."Maa, I'll talk to you later. We have arrived," I interjected the list of instructions she was repeating and blinked back my tears.
Kyle enthusiastically narrated the entire story of how we met to his mother, Carla. I had already contacted Katy and informed her that I was having dinner with Kyle's lovely family so that she wouldn't get worried unnecessarily. She reluctantly allowed me and it took a lot of convincing since I didn't want to say no to Carla. Carla had insisted that I should have dinner with them, to thank me for helping her son and welcoming me as their new neighbour.So, here I was having cheesy rolls as starters, pasta with creamy, white sauce as main course and vanilla ice cream as dessert which was not served yet. Carla looked elegant dressed in a purple, strappy summer dress which was simple yet pretty. Her silky, dark brown hair was just like Noah's and was braided, a beautiful white flower was stuck in her hair near her ear. She had warm brown eyes unlike her children, who both had mesmerising blue eyes. Maybe the boys got their eye colour from their father which made me wonder who and where t
"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 dre
Again with the help of the GPS, I finally arrived at the park alone. After pleading and begging Jack to not follow me and installing an app in my phone which reported Jack and Katy about my whereabouts, I could finally roam around alone. Katy also installed two more security apps which only God knew how they functioned. Honestly, I didn't bother about those apps. My main focus was on how I was feeling. I felt different walking around the streets, I felt like a free, normal human being.I came here to pretend living like a normal seventeen year old girl, but with Jack constantly following me, how on earth would I not attract attention?A few days ago, Ginger alerted me that a man was stalking me [Ginger and I became friends really quick, I didn't know how] I shuddered in fear and my mind was racing through horrifying thoughts. I thought about him, but shook those dreaded thoughts away. I was almost close to getting a panic attack. Goosebumps rose on my skin and I could feel myself gett
After my 'fall' in the park, Noah examined me searching for any injuries. Certainly there wasn't any, but my butt hurt a lot. I obviously didn't mention it because I didn't want him to examine my butt. After convincing him that I was alright, we went straight to our homes considering the fact that I was still wearing broken glasses. We didn't resume the game much to Kyle's disappointment. Besides, it had already turned dark and I didn't want Jack to follow me to raise more suspicion."Why are you wearing that?" Kyle pointed to my fractured glasses which currently needed to be admitted in the ICU."I cannot see anything without these," I replied flatly and adjusted them."But eeeets funny!" Kyle laughed and pretending to be an aeroplane, made a quick exit from the park, leaving Noah and me alone. Not alone exactly if you consider the other people in the park, but still alone."Why did you come in the middle of the term at this school?" Noah asked suddenly while burying his hands deep
It was Saturday and since we had a weekend holiday at school, Carla suggested that Noah and I should hang out. We both were reluctant at first until Katy started to persuade us too. So, today Noah and Kyle were taking me 'somewhere,' I didn't know where. Kyle told that it was a surprise, so I was pretty excited about it. Noah and I desperately wanted Kyle to tag along because we both dreaded the awkwardness of being alone.Obviously Katy and Jack had been already informed by Carla about where we were going. Jack flirted a lot with Katy and she too responded positively either by flirting back which happened rarely or blushing which she always did. Jack and Katy made such a cute couple and I knew that they would go further with their blossoming relationship. It was an instant physical attraction and something more.Eight months ago, Katy and her ex-fiance were going to be married when Katy caught him red-handed sleeping with some elderly woman. He wasn't even drunk when he was caught. W
The place was so warm, vibrant and luminous because of the trees being so tall with dark leaves that partially blocked the heat and brightness of the gauzy sun, allowing only some rays to pass through the gaps. The soft, light-green coloured grass was well-trimmed and there were these little yet full of life yellow flowers growing in between, like each flower on it's own was resembling a mighty sun.I quickly removed my slippers and walked bare foot on the tickling grass, a very old habit of mine. It felt so nostalgic since all the reminiscence of my childhood with my sister playing in our huge, palace garden came on me like a massive wave striking the shore."Now tell me, isn't it wonderful?" Noah asked, stood beside me and crossed his arms against his broad chest.I nodded and beamed in awe, "Of course it's wonderful! Only a fool would disagree with you!"He looked pleased, but covered it up by talking in a solemn voice, "Glad to know, but you agreed.""I don't know what you're impl
"I can teach you how to play polo. It's pretty easy," I offered and shrugged. "But I want something in return."He chuckled and said, "Of course, you do. How can I forget that you're a girl?""Well . . . Sure and infact, I want three things in return," I demanded and Noah's eyebrows rose high up."Hold on Cinderella, I'm not your fairy godmother.""First you listen to me . . . Hey! Are you listening?" I nearly shouted when I saw Noah's back turned to me."You're not at all interested in me . . . I mean in my talks. Sorry, slip of tongue," I muttered the last few words and mentally face palmed. Since Noah's back was still turned to me, I continued talking or rather demanding, "One, I want you to narrate me the history of this country, stories, quotes, anything and everything. You are basically going to tutor me. We can do this while I'm teaching you how to play polo since it isn't a big deal, but I'm really failing in history at school."I stopped talking for a few minutes and waited f
