Eres Academy :School of The Royal and The Rich

{Give me some comments, they feed my motivation hehe:)}

Paige

I woke up, the ray of noon sunlight filled my room. I felt so groggy, I sat up and held my head. "Ahh!" it felt as if it's being hammered into pieces. I looked at my bedside and found a pain reliever and a glass of water.

"Finally you're awake." Aicko entered the room.

I buried my head back in my pillow and curled up my body. "My head hurts!" I complained.

"Of course it hurts! You're so stupid" She palmed my forehead. "How could you get drunk so easily?"

Got drunk? "I got drunk?!" No way! I never get drunk, Aiden and I made a vow when we were younger to not get drunk because other than the fact that we hate the taste of alcohol, we both agreed that we didn't want to do things stupid if ever we got drunk. Now look at me now! I'm sorry mom.

"Oh yes you did Missy!" She handed me the glass of water. "Guess who brought you home." She smiled at me.

My eyes widened. "You didn't bring me home?!" She shook her head giggling.

Then who brought me home? I tried to recall. I recalled Carter sitting beside me, and I took two sips on some alcohol then I dragged him towards the dance floor, but what happened next? I can't seem to remember.

"Did Carter drive me home?" I wondered.

"What? No!" Aicko laghed. "Blake did."

"What?!" I sat down on my bed because of the shock. "How did he bring me home? That's impossible. I don't remember him from last night."

"Well obviously the alcohol got the best of you."

"Ugh!" I buried my face once again in the pillow. Did I possibly do anything stupid when I was with him?! Did I throw up infront of him? Did I say something wrong?! Where's my cake?! I probably left it at the club.

"Stop stressing." Aicko laughed as she patted my back. She obviously enjoys my state right now. "It happens to everyone."

"But I never expected it to happen to me." I closed my eyes when I felt a searing pain in my head. "Damn these headaches."

"What would you expect after getting drunk?" Aicko handed me a glass of water. " You should wash up and eat." She then left the room.

After I drank the water I stood up to brush my teeth. I met Aicko in the dining room when I finished. She ordered some breakfast from room service, well technically lunch since it's already half past noon.

I was considering staying in my room the whole day while Aicko and Shari watch the rest of the games when I remembered something. "Shit! It's Aiden's game today!"

"You sure you're in a good shape to watch?" Aicko eyed me.

"Of course I am!" I started eating faster. "Now hurry up."

Although my head hurts and my body isn't in the best condition, I would never miss my bestfriend's game for the world. He was always there for me. I want to be there for him.

______________________________

The games went on. Aicko got tasked by the student council to tend to one of the souvenir stands that are located by the sides of the Sport's fields. Since I didn't have anymore games, Shari and I decided to join Aicko and spend the day giving out food and drinks to players and selling merchandise to people who wants watch.

"Thankyou!" A girl form a different school said when I handed her a Tshirt that had Ram's surname and player number on it.

When she left I turned to Shari who looks like she's gonna explode any second. I laughed. Her face expression immediately changed when she saw the person behind me.

I turned around and found out why.

"Hi!" Ram cheerfully said. Kile stood beside him and smiled at me. No Blake. I exhaled.

"Hi!" I peeked at Shari who immediatley left to attend other customers. I hid a smile and turned back to Ram. "There anything you like?"

"Hmmm..." Ram thought. When a mischievous smirk appeared on his face I knew there was something up. His eyes searched around the stand. "I don't think what I want is here." He crossed his arms.

"What do you want exactly?"

He smiled. What is this guy thinking? "I want some of your cake."

My jaw dropped. "What do you mean?" How did he know that I made a cake?

"Please." He pleaded. "How come you gave Blake a whole box and you didn't gave us anything." He frowned and crossed his arms acting as if he's upset. "Blake wouldn't share it with us."

Kile frowned. "I never asked for any, you were the one who desperately pleaded for a slice."

"Dude, are we in this together or not?" Ram looked at Kile. "If she gives me cake, I'm not sharing with you."

Then it hit me. So Blake got my cake, but how did he get it? Did I give it to him?

"Hmmp, You're picking favorites now." Ram acted like a baby.

I rolled my eyes. "Are you guys going to buy anything or not?"

"Actual-" Ram was cut off short when someone else came to our stand. "Ok, I'm gonna go now." Ram immediately walked away with Kile. "You owe me a cake for my birthday Paige!" He called and left.

Now I'm left with this guy standing infront of me. God he's so tall. My cheeks heated because of embarrassment. I suddenly became interested in the caps that lay on the table infront of the stand.

My eyes widened when he knocked on the table. I had no choice. I looked up at him and I swear that my cheeks are bright red right now.

I coughed to ease the tension. "Yes?" I'm a horrible seller.

"Is that how you treat your master?" Blaked raised his eyebrow.

He's talking to me now? Why? Did he forgive me already?

I faked a cough to ease the tension. "Actually I'm treating you sir as a customer." I faked a smile. "Now how may I help you?"

"I don't know what to get." He crossed his arms.

I rolled my eyes. Is he pissing me off?! "Well then if you're not going to get anything then it's best you leave." I gestured my hand to shoo him away.

He crossed his arms. "You know, you're a lot nicer when you're drunk."

I glared at him when he said that. "Don't remind me of it, it was my mistake to get drunk, and I don't remember anything, so if I ever said something, best you forget it." It was the safest answer. "I'm sure I didn't mean it."

"I'm sure you did." He picked up mini football that's the size of a golf ball and he threw it up in the air and caught, doing it over and over again. He's wasting my time.

I banged the table. "I'm going to ask you one last time." I took a deep breathe to contain my patience. "What do you want?"

I took a step backwards when he pointed at me. "I want the puppy."

What the hell?! I was about to yell at him when he spoke again.

"The brown one."

I scrunched my forehead and turned around. My mouth formed an O when I realized that he was pertaining to the small stuffed toy puppies on the shelf behind me. They were wearing uniforms of our school.

And I assumed again! Stupid Paige so stupid! I muttered to myself as I walked to the shelf and got one brown puppy.

I went back to the front and checked it's price and wrapped it in a paper bag. Why does this big guy want a puppy?! Maybe he really is pissing me off or maybe he has someone to give it too. Whoever it is it's none of my business.

"What's with the face." He pointed to my face.

"Just shut up." I shoved the paper bag into his arms.

He chuckled. "Did you actually think that when I said puppy, I was pertaining to you?"

"Of course not!" I defended myself even if what he said was true.

"Good, besides why would I want you? You're too ugly." He laughed. Anger boiled up inside me. I was about to let out my rage at him when he picked up a cat ear headband that had his face on the ears.

I frowned when he placed it on my head. "There, that's better." The next I knew was that he was walking away.

God he loves making me hate him.

__________________________

The sport's tournament went on. Aicko and Shari were always busy doing this, doing that so I tagged along. Before I knew it, the tournament ended and we were back to regular classes.

"Hi girl, I missed you." I patted Nutmeg's mane. It's been a while since I've seen her. I saddled up and took her for a walk around the riding range.

Kile taught me well enough for me to learn how to maneuver my horse properly and safely. The other student's were running around with their horse. I slowly rode Nutmeg through the track. Not because I couldn't make her run but because I wanted to feel the cool Californian breeze brush against my skin. It felt relaxing.

I looked to the horse that rode by my side. "Hi Lune!" I greeted the White Stallion beside us.

"You aren't going to say Hi to me?" Kile asked.

I laughed. I got to say it. He's finally getting some humor in him.

"Follow me." Kile held on Lune's reigns and rode his horse out of the riding range and through the forest trees. I followed him. We went through a narrow path through the tall trees.

"Where are we going?"

He kept his eyes on what's ahead. "You'll see."

As we went deeper into the forest I soon got a glimpse of the light ahead. When we got to the other side my mouth dropped at the view. We were on top of a green grassy hill, bellow us were fields of flowers and grass, a river streamed down bellow and rays of sunshine covered the earth.

"It's beautiful." I whispered. I turned to Kile who was off his horse. I came down Nutmeg and we both tied our horses to a near by branch. I followed him to the edge of the hill where we got a beautiful glimpse of the afternoon sun and the glorious horizon.

I sat down on the soft grass, he did the same. I felt the strong breeze against my hair. "I love this place."

"I knew you would." He chuckled.

"You always go here don't you?"

He nodded. "I like going here alone, it makes me feel at peace."

"Then why'd you bring me along?" I raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled again but didn't answer my question.

"You know." I brushed my hands through the soft grass. "You have a beautiful kingdom."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"This whole place will soon fall into your hands." I pointed to the horizon. "Your kingdom."

He looked at the view. "It's as much as mine as it is yours."

I smiled at what he said. "If you don't mind asking, what kind of king do you aspire to be?"

He kept silent.

I could understand if he didn't want to answer. It was quite a personal question.

I got shocked when he started to speak.

"I'd want to be someone who's not like my father." He took a deep breathe. "I don't want to be like any of the other kings out there."

"Why." I said in a hushed town.

"I don't want to be the king who sits on the throne all day, the king who sleeps in a bed of gold and fine silks, the king who wears a crown of jewelries, the king who's appraised by his people just because of his title, the king who says that everything's fine when infact his Kingdom's a mess, the king who claims to worry about his Kingdom but in reality has his head filled with fame, power and poise. I don't want to be the king who orders people around and watch as his people work, his knights fight and just sit down on his throne and get all the credit."

My eyes widened at what he said but I kept silent.

"I want to be the King, who'd be able to willingly offer his food to the hungry and shelter the homeless. The King who listens to his people instead of keeping himself hidden behind the majestic walls of the palace. The king who gets to fight side by side his Knights instead of sitting on his throne while his people do the dirty work. The king who brings justice to his subjects, who makes sure the voices of his people are heard and not silenced.

He paused for a moment. I want to be the king who doesn't sit on his throne to rule but to lead. I don't want to rule my people, I want to be one with my people."

I kept getting surprised after every word he spoke. That was the longest time I've ever heard him speak. Never has it occurred to me that this cold hearted Prince had those thoughts in mind. Never. "You know what." I looked at him.

He turned to me.

"I know you'll make a great King."

I expected him to not answer but he did.

"I hope I will."

Suddenly a loud bell tolled echoing threw the whole campus. I got goosebumps at the sound of it.

"Shit." Kile exclaimed. "Get up." He didn't wait for me to stand, he pulled me up from the ground. "We have to go." He saddled up on Lune and I did the same on Nutmeg.

"What's going on?" He's scaring me.

He looked me in the eye. "Rebels."

"Here?!"

He nodded. I didn't need him to say anything more. We both raced through the woods to get back to the riding range.

"There you two are!" Our riding instructor exclaimed. When we emerged from the woods.

All of them were already standing infront of the bus that would take us back to school. Worry was plastered on their face.

Kile came down from his horse, I followed.

"Oh I'm so glad you're safe!" Khrysie ran to him and hugged him. "Lonnie was worried about you, right Lonnie?"

"Where did you guys go?" Eloise appeared beside me.

"Uhm just through the woods." I didn't want to expose Kile's secret sanctuary.

"Good thing the rebels didn't find you."

"How did they come in?" I asked.

"No one knows, all we know is that some of them are here." My heart thudded fast.

We all rode the bus going back to the Campus. Many Knights were positioned around the School. They let us past through the gates and we entered.

"Paige!" Aicko and Shari's voice echoed the second I stepped into the School. "You're safe."

"Nothing really happened."

"But something could've." Shari clung to my arm.

"The Knights announced that Rebels were spotted to have entered the campus, so the Dean called all the Knights to secure the school and she's sending us all back to our dorms early." Aicko said.

Shari sighed. "She even assigned Knights to watch over the royals."

Suddenly, a large group of Knights entered the room, each going to a royal student. I saw 5 Knights gather around Kile as he entered. Another five gathered around Bellona. Looks like each Royal gets 5 Knights each.

We were then called to the auditorium. All of the students from our school gathered up. The dean told us not to panic and told us strictly not to leave our dorms. The Dean even announced that dormitories would be combined meaning, the men from the male billionaires dormitory will be moving to ours. Aicko said that the school does this move to avoid the risk of our safety and to monitor us better. Both male and femake royalties were also combined.

Afterwards. Shari, Aicko and I went inside Aicko's car and drove to our dorm. Many Knights stood guard on the road towards the square. Although today's just a normal day. The atmosphere was indeed gloomy. When we arrived at the square, my mouth dropped. It was empty. No student was walking, no shop lights were opened. It looked so different. The Dean made a shut down to the whole square to make sure that no student would leave their dorms.

Knights stood infront of our building. One Knight opened our car doors and we entered the dorm. As we walked in the dorm lobby, many boys with suitcases crowded forming a line towards the lobby desk. Like the Dean said, they were all Billionaires.

I gasped when someone covered my eyes as I walked through our dorm lobby.

"Guess who?"

Not again! "Stop it Aiden!"

He laughed and took his hands off my eyes. "Guess were in the same building now."

"Apparently."

"Hey Aiden!" Aicko greeted. "Where's your dorm room?"

"Same floor as yours." He showed us his new temporary room key.

"Nice." Aicko checked her watch. "You and Paige should hang out, I need to go to my student council meeting."

My eyes widened. "Where?"

"Relax Paige, just on the 11th floor of the building." She checked her watch again. "You two should eat without me, I'll be late."

I just nodded and she left. I turned to Aiden. "Lets go."

We rode the elevator to our room floor, I joined him to his temporary room and he left his suitcase there. We then went to my dorm room.

Aiden, just like the childish person that he is immediately jumped on the sofa and opened the tv screen.

"Wow! Is this your dorm?!" I frowned.

"Hehe." He gave me a peace sign.

I went to my room and changed into my comfy clothes which is a loose shirt and pajamas. I didn't care even if Aiden was there, he's used to seeing me like this, not to mention that I have a blurry memory of seeing a 4 year old him running around his house in diapers. I laughed at what I was thinking.

"Are you hungry?" I asked Aiden who made himself a little too comfortable on the couch, he already opened a bag of chips which probably belonged to Aicko, and he covered himself with a blanket which I don't know where he got it from.

When he didn't answer, I walked towards him and stood infront of the TV.

"Hey do you mind?" He complained.

"I don't" I rolled my eyes. "Are you hungry?"

"Nope." He shook his head. "Now could you move?"

"Alright!" I sat beside him and ate some of his chips. I could understand why he doesn't want to eat yet, we were dismissed early today so were both technically not hungry and it's just 4'oclock in the afternoon.

After his movie I snatched the remote from him and picked mine.

"

No! I don't like that one!" He complained when I picked a horror film, I laughed at his expression. He's always weak when it comes to horror movies, I remember when we were little, he couldn't even pee by himself for a month because we watched a horror movie with his cousins.

Although I think the movie's interesting, I still changed it for Aiden's sake.

Instead I picked a romance movie, he didn't say no this time. He knew how I love Romance movies and novels and he just rode along with me. That's why I find it easy to get along with him, when he sees a difference he would adjust without changing himself. He's a flexible person with a strong personality at the same time. One of the many things I admire from him. One of the many things I wish I was.

The movie ended around 6 o'clock in the evening. I insisted that we have dinner together but he said that he needed to go back to his roommate.

"I'm sorry I can't stay longer?" He tied his shoe lays.

I smiled. "It's ok."

He stood up and hugged me. "I'll see you tomorrow."

I nodded and opened the door for him. He was about to step out the door when he stopped in his stance. I scrunched my forehead and looked at what stopped him.

My eyes widened when I saw Blake standing there infront of my door, looks like he was just about to knock when the door opened. Shit! I almost forgot that he's a Billionaire too, why didn't it occur to me that he'd be here aswell?

"What are you doing here?" Aiden eyed Blake.

Blake raised an eyebrow at Aiden. "That doesn't concern you." I sensed something deep in his voice, I just can't point it out. Bitterness?

"Well actually it doe-"

"Alright Aiden, time to go now." I tried pushing him away. He turned to me and frowned. "Please Aiden."

He was about to protest but he stopped when he heard me pleading. I communicated to his eyes telling him that I'd be fine. Just with one look at his I could say that he was asking for assurance. I nodded at him. He made a sigh and eyed Blake one more time before leaving to his room.

I had to make him leave before something could happen between him and Blake. Although they weren't lifting a fist yet, I could sense the tension between them which didn't sit right with my spirit.

When Aiden was out of the view I turned to Blake who's been starring at me the whole time.

"What are you doing here?" I repeated Aiden's question.

He inserted his hands into his pockets. "You may have forgotten Puppy, that we still have a punishment to abide to." He smirked at me.

Damn it! I totally forgot all about it. Ugh! I thought it was over, till I realized that the sports tournament week didn't count. But on the bright side, I've got one more week to go until I could finally cut my strings off him.

"So." He broke the silence. "Are you going to let me in or not?"

I scrunched my forehead. "Of course not! Why would I let you in?"

"Then would you rather go to my dorm instead?" He seemed annoyed at me now.

He's right, the whole square is closed so I won't have a choice. I hate the fact of letting him in, but I wouldn't in a million years take the chance of going with him to his temporary room.

"Fine!" I opened my door widely. "Get in." I said against my will.

He followed me inside. He eyed the living room. Shit! It was still slightly messy from the movie marathon a while ago. I immediately picked up the chips wrappers and fixed the sofa. I gestured him to sit and that's what he did.

Now what should I do with this guy?! I walked towards the kitchen when I realized what I was wearing. Shit! I ran to my room and changed my clothes. I changed into a black tshirt and shorts, I even fixed my hair. I then questioned myself why did I just changed? It's not like I care bout what Blake thinks.

I slowly walked towards the living room. He was playing on his phone while sited on where Aiden was sitting a while ago.

I checked the time. It's already half past 6. He'd probably be hungry. I scurried to the kitchen and picked up the menu that has the food that the room service serves.

I then went to Blake. "Here." I handed him the menu.

He took his eyes off the screen and eyed the menu. I rolled my eyes and waved it in my hand for him to get it.

He took it and looked at it.

"It's already half past 6, we should have dinner." I said. "Pick anything you want."

I frowned when he placed the menu on the side table and continued playing on his phone. "I don't want anything."

Here he goes again. "Then are you just not going to eat dinner?!" My head is boiling because of this guy.

"That's not what I want." He kept his eyes on his phone.

I squeezed my fists to help prevent me from bursting out in anger. "Then what do you want?" I tried to say it calmly.

"You." He looked up to me.

My eyes widened and I scrunched my eyebrows at what he said. Did I just here him right?!

"Took cook for me." He fixed his eyes back onto his phone screen. "I want you to cook for me."

I exhaled at what he said. Suddenly I felt my cheeks heat up. I wanted to hesitate but I couldn't. Ugh! Why does he have this effect on me?! I stomped going to the kitchen and started cooking.

I realized that I still had some pasta in the pantry, so I decided to cook spaghetti with meatballs. As I cooked I kept making glances at Blake. I'm not used to seeing a boy in here. A smile formed on my face when I smelled the savory aroma that filled the room when I finished cooking. I placed some spaghetti on his plate, and some on mine. Then I brought it to the table.

I was about to call him when he stood up and sat across me. I started eating and he did too.

I watched him as he took a bite. I tried to read his expression but I just couldn't tell if he likes it or not. I kept waiting for him to say something but he didn't. I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"How is it?" I had to ask.

He looked up at me. "You're a good cook." He sipped on his water.

I don't know why but I felt like I wanted to dance with joy. It was the first time he ever complimented me. He's never done that. I've never thought that nice words were actually part of his vocabulary. I felt my body relax. I always hear other people tell me that I cook well, but hearing it from Blake is a great achievement. I smiled.

"Stop smiling at your food puppy." He scolded. "It won't smile back."

I rolled my eyes and continued eating.

I stopped chewing when I sensed his eyes on me. "What?!"

"You look-" He paused for a moment and shook his head then laughed. "So ugly."

I glared at him. "Idiot." I finished my food quickly and stood up leaving him there sitting down. He finished a few minutes after then stood up and asked for the bathroom. I was surprised to see him go there with a toothbrush. It's as if he really anticipated that he was going to eat here. Well atleast he has proper hygiene right?

I started washing the dishes. I looked up to him when he got out.

He eyed the dishes then at me. "You're doing it the wrong way."

What is he talking about? "No I'm not."

He went closer to me. I got shocked when he grabbed the sponge away from my hand then started washing the dishes.

I frowned. There was nothing special bout how he washed them, it was practically the same as how I did.

"What's wrong with how I wash?"

He kept his eyes on the dishes. "Everything."

God I hate him! I was about to grab the sponge when he closed the faucet. He's done already!

He faced me. "I'm going now."

Finally!

I lead him to the door.

"I'll eat her again tomorrow puppy." He didn't sound like he was asking, he sounded as if it was final and there's nothing I could do about it.

I frowned at him. Then I remembered, all the questions that I wanted to be answered. The question of what happened the night I got drunk, how he got my cake? And why he forgave me.

"Hey." I called his attention. "I really need to ask this."

He faced me as if telling me to ask straight away.

I took a deep breathe. "W-what happened that night?"

He thought for a moment. "You got drunk end of story."

"What I mean is." I took a deep breathe. "How did I end up with you?"

He kept silent.

"Did I go to you?" I wondered.

"I went to you." He said in a low voice.

"Why?" More accusations went into my head but I shook them away. "Why did you go to me if you were mad at me?"

"I couldn't help watching my puppy dance around the club like a lunatic."

I scowled at his words. I can never get an appropriate answer out of this guy. "Then what happened next?"

"I brought you home."

"And?"

"We talked."

"About?" God I'm so curious.

"That's a secret." He held the door handle and opened the door. "Find that memory inside your head to remember it."

I can't believe this guy. He stepped out the door and I spoke again. "When you went to me that night, have you already forgiven me?"

"No." He gave his plain answer.

Many more accusations came into my head. "Then why did you really come for me." Something in his voice and eyes told me that he didn't get me out of the dancefloor that night just because I was looking like a lunatic.

"Were you worried?" My eyes widened at what I just said. One of my accusations just slipped off my mouth. Darn it! This is embarrassing.

He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Forget it." I was about to close the door when he stopped it using his foot.

"Maybe." He took his foot out from blocking the door and placed his hands in his pockets. "Maybe I was."

That was the last thing he said before leaving.

I closed the door immediately and took a deep breathe. What is going on in his head? Why does he give me a lot of emotions?

I neede to ease my mind so I decide to get some rest. I washed up and jumped into my bed. I pulled out a book to read but after a few chapters I still couldn't sleep. I peeked at the clock. It's 10:30 in the evening. I rolled around in bed but still couldn't sleep. My eyes widened when I heard my bedroom door creak. I bent my head a bit to see who it was. My heart beated fast and sweat formed on my forehead.

"Paige, you still awake?" Aicko said. So she arrived. When she saw my reaction she laughed. "Sorry, did I scare you?"

I held my chest and exhaled. "You sure did." I noticed her wearing a jacket over her night gown. "You going somewhere again?"

"Uh, yeah, you should come." She played with her fingers as if asking a favor. "Nile invited all the girls in our year level for a slumber party in Khrysie's dorm room."

"I thought it's dangerous?" I frowned. "And it's late."

"That's the point." She gave a sweet smile. "Please, you should come, Shari's already there."

I laughed. "You sure I'm invited, last time I checked, Nile's group of friends hates me."

"No they don't." Aicko denied it.

I eyed her.

"Well maybe a little but." She sighed. "They invite everyone as long as you're a girl in they're year level then you're invited. Friend or Foe.

I shook my head. "We might get in trouble." I crossed my arms. "And it's a school night." I pointed out.

She pouted.

"How do you suppose we could get past the Knights?" I gave her a logical question.

"Oh Paige, you may not have heard but the dorms have secret passages that leads to the outside of the building." She smiled. "And were going to use it."

What a rebellious Asian this one is. I massaged the sides of my forehead.

She continued. "The dorm building of the female royalties is just across the street."

I kept thinking.

"Fine." Aicko slumped. "Then I'll just go myself." She slowly walked out my bedroom.

I honestly didn't want to join but I couldn't just let her leave by herself. Ugh! These billionaire's aren't afraid of anything!

"Wait!" I called.

She turned to me with hopeful eyes.

I can't believe I'm doing this. "I won't let you go alone." I stood up and went to my closet. I wore a jacket that me and Aicko bought the other day and placed it over my loose white tshirt, I only wore my pajamas and I'm ok with that.

Aicko told me to take a pillow and so I did. She brought a bag of marsh mellows from our fridge and we were off.

And as if the universe was smiling on us, we got to run to the elevator without any Knight seeing us. She led me to a janitors closet at the end of the hall of the first floor and just like she said, after pulling a lever revealed a secret passage way to the outside of the building.

We walked through the dark passage way. It gave me the creeps but I couldn't deny it. It was so cool. We continued walking till I saw the shimmer of moonlight at the end. We raced towards it and just like Aicko said, we were out of the building.

"Ok, I'll run across the street first, then you follow." She instructed.

Before I could hesitate, she made a run for it. If anyone saw her hopefully they'd think it's normal. Just an Asian Billionaire running across the street with a night gown, a pillow and a bag of marshmellows. Yeah totally normal.

I got impressed when she made it to the other side. "C'mon." She beckoned me to follow.

I took a deep breathe ready to make a run for it when someone held my wrist. My eyes widened when I turned to my side.

"What are you doing out here? It's dangerous." Kile questioned me. He was wearing a black jacket, shorts, a black cap and a black mask that covered his mouth and nose. What is he? The Shadow man?

If it weren't for his sky blue eyes, I'm sure I wouldn't have recognized him.

"I-uh." I took my wrist off his hold. I stood up straight and crossed my arms. "Well how about you what are you doing out here?"

He seemed taken aback. "I asked you first."

"Just answer the question your Highness." He's in so much trouble, aren't people like him the target of the rebels?

He sighed. "I had to run an errand."

I wanted to ask more but I knew that that was all he was going to tell me.

"I have somewhere to go to." I said honestly. I looked at Aicko from the other street who was looking so worried.

I faced Kile. "If I were you, I wouldn't think of selling me out because you'd be in much more trouble than me when they find out that a royal is out in the open." I crossed my arms.

He lightly chuckled. "I wasn't going to sell you out."

"Oh then good." I smiled. "Now, I'll be off going to do my own business and you should do yours and lets just forget that we ran into each other." I tapped his shoulder.

When he didn't answer I started walking past him when he spoke.

"Just be careful." He said in almost a whisper.

I turned to him. "You too." Then I made a run for it towards the other side.

___________________________

Third Person's POV.

Kile kept his eyes on Paige, making sure she got to the other side safely, when he saw her reunite with Aicko, he sighed and turned towards the secret passage.

He knew he wasn't supposed to be at this dorm building but he was here for some reason. He slowly walked through the dark passage way. Taking off his cap and mask and hiding it into his jacket pocket.

When he found the Janitor's closet door. He twisted the knob and stepped outside. He went up the elevator and stroded towards one of the rooms in the 10th floor. When he reached the room he made a knock.

Blake opened the door, not surprised at all that his friend just showed up in the middle of the night.

Kile stepped inside and sat on the couch. 'Where's Ram?" He asked Blake.

"Gone as usual." Blake sat beside Kile.

"Lets get straight to the point." Kile sat down properly and faced Blake. "Why'd you tell me to come here?"

Blake folded his arms and leaned on his seat. "I have a question to ask you."

Kile raised his eyebrow. "What is it?"

Blake looked Kile straight in the eye.

"Do you like her?"
