she said again. When her Mom first told her that she was going to be changing schools, she wasn't happy, she hated being the new girl at school, the one that everyone stared and pointed at but now, she was determined never to let some spoiled brats at Maverick High bring her down.

"Of course you know him. You kissed me in front of him," Tess smacked him and everyone began clearing their throats, making weird faces. "What? He was caught in the moment." "No. I've seen him before that exhibition. I just can't remember," he slammed his fist on the table. "It's cool dude, give yourself some time." She advised. "One of the girls gave me new information. She said the voice she heard was an elderly man's voice. I think she saw him though. I had the recording on my phone but it's gone now."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I guess I just have to go to Tori's then." "I guess you're right." I decided to fight in his style. His features were still indefinite. It's unreadable. That's when I decided to continue. "You know, I heard an interesting story." I walked towards his mini bar and began pouring myself whatever liquor I could grab. "Have you ever heard of the story of the sly prince and the lost princess?" I glanced at my shoulder and I saw him frowned his brows. I don't know if he's following what I'm saying. But I definitely got his attention. "I don't know where you're getting at but, since the great Zachary Anderson has resulted to desperation, this should be interesting. Go on."

Ivana's face went stiff, her gentle act cracking for just a second. Just then, a pink sports car rolled up behind Lex's.

Father had after all said that he would start from the beginning. I guessed this was why they were giving me all this back story.

And I wondered, was it even okay for her to tell him these things? It didn’t sit right with me. But I didn’t want to ruin the moment. Didn’t want to bring back that tension from earlier. So instead of reacting, I chose to understand. “Oh,” I started, then corrected myself. “I’ve never heard this story before. Can I hear it too?” Sia smiled, a little flustered, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks. “I’m sorry, it’s a foolish story. I was reading this book with Leon, and it just… came up,” she said, holding up the book.

“You had better have good news. I knew that voice. I heard it somewhere.

“We’re just passing through.” The woman leaned in a little, her voice dropping. “Have you heard anything? There’s talk going around stories that feel too real to be just tales.
