Danica
The tears really dropped from my eye. Prince Nathan??
I looked in surprise.
Whatâs heâŠ.Whatâs he doing here?
He shot me a stare and took his eyes to the clothes, picking them up. Then, he stood up. And I stood up as well.
âWhatâre you doing with a towel, huh?â He asked calmly, as I stared at him, speechless.
I noticed the noise from the hall had died down.
âIâŠIâ, I paused and took a nervous gulp. I didnât know what to say.
He was silent for a while, then touched my hair.
âCome on, you need to get dressedâ, he urged me and started walking away and I hesitated for a while before followingâŠ
I was surprised.
I kept my head bowed as usual as I walked behind him like a sheep, feeling so grateful I had someone to shield me.
âWhatâs he doing with her?â I heard the students mumble.
âDo they know each other? Whatâs happening?â
I didnât spare any of them a glance as I continued walking away with the prince, and he took me back to the girlsâ room.
I sniffed and cleaned the tear that strolled down my cheek.
âWhat happened to you?â He asked. âWhy did you go out that way?â
I bent my head pathetically.
âI donâtâŠ.I donât know. I justâŠ.went to take a shower, and when I was done from the bathroom, I found my clothes on the floor. They wereâŠbeing lined up and ended up leading me to the court roomâ, I answered ruefully, making sniffles along the way.
He scrutinized me for a while.
âYou.thinkâŠ.someone was behind it?â He asked and I nodded.
Of course,it couldnât had been done by a ghost.
âWho?â He asked and I sniffed again.
âI donâtâŠ.I donât know. But Bitnaâs friends had poured some paint on me and thatâs the reason I had to take a shower in the first placeâ, I felt so much anger as I replied.
I had a strong feeling they were behind it.
He handed the clothes back to me.
âYou should go in and dress. The presentationâs about to commenceâ, he cooed and I nodded and walked into the bathroom.
I put on my uniforms, returned to my locker and kept the rest of my things in it. Then, I returned to the prince and found him rounding up a call.
âYouâre done? Come onâ he tilted his head and tried walking away, but I didnât move. I couldnât.
He stopped and looked at me. âWhatâs wrong?â
I stared at the floor bashfully.
âIâm sorry, my prince. But I donât think I canâŠ.I can attend classes todayâ, I couldnât stop my voice from sounding mild as I spoke.
He scoffed and walked back to me.
âYou really wanna miss the presentations because of this? Weâve been working on this for days now. You really wanna ruin it?â He asked, but I didnât say a word.
I badly wanted to attend the presentation, butâŠrecalling what had happened a while ago, it drained my hope. I felt humiliated.
I felt cold chills down my body when I suddenly felt a hand on mine. I shook a little as I realized the prince was holding my hand.
Oh my God!!
He held it firmly, covering it completely.
My eyes beamed, my nervous systems became alerted.
The prince was actually holding me!!
No; Iâm probably dreaming.
âCome on. Letâs goâ, he urged and continued walking away and this time around, I had no option but to follow him.

Bitna
âSeriously, Bitna. Crying wonât do a thing. You need to stop thisâ Jeong said as I stood in the garden with them, crying my eyes out.
âAre you even normal? How can you tell me to stop crying, Jeong? How can you tell me to stop crying when the prince helped that low life? When the prince ruined my plans? How?â I wept bitterly.
âI was trying to take her away from him, but she ended up getting closer. He picked up her clothes, and led her to the bathroom!! Can you imagine that??â
They were silent and itched their heads.
âWell, that was really shocking, I must confessâ Hana said.
âI also didnât expect it from him. ButâŠâ
Someone suddenly showed up, interrupting our conversation. It was a male student.
âOh! Here you areâ, he said breathlessly and I quickly turned away so he doesnât see my tears.
âWellâŠ.Jeong, Hana, the principal wants you in his officeâ. He said and I flinched.
âWhat?â
âWhat?â
Hana and Jeong exclaimed at once.
âBâŠBut why? What have we done?’â
âWell, I donât know. But just a heads up, prince Nathan is behind itâ,he replied sharply and walked away.
Oh my God!
I turned immediately to look at them.
âThe prince??â Hana shrieked.
âWhy would the prince want us in the principalâa office??â
âGoodness! Could it be possible Danica told him about us??â Jeong asked, alarmed.
âPossibly! She was with him. And Iâm sure he mustâve questioned herâ.
âThat bch! We might get punished!! Bitna,,you need to come with usâ.
I furrowed my brows at them.
âI..donât understand. Come with you? Why??â I scoffed.
âWell, you asked us to do it, Bitna. Youâre behind it. So, if we wanna get punished, we need to get punished togetherâ, Jeong replied and I felt my head spin.
âWhat are you saying? Iâm not coming with you. I canâtâ, I said bluntly, but deeply, I was so scared.
âYou need to Bitna. You canât just put us in a mess and go freeâ. Hana insisted and I felt my lungs become dry.

Bitna
âCome on, girls. Please, just do it for meâ, I pleaded. âI wouldnât want my parents to know about this. Just do it for me, pleaseâ. I pleaded, but they still didnât loll convinced.
Dmn it! I couldnât let them do this to me.
âWeâre going to miss the presentation!â Jeong cried out.
âG©sh! We need to get going already, to avoid further consequenceâ Hana said and started walking out.
Jeong stood and glared at me, then walked out as well.
A frustrated tear ran down my cheek as I stared at them. Whatâs happening?
That bch!
I sniffed and wiped my tear off, then walked out of garden as well, headed for class.
As I walked pass the students, I could clearly hear them talking about the incidence. And it hurt me to the last. I bit my inner cheek and tried not to pay attention to them, but it was impossible as their voices kept penetrating.
Oh! How I hated the sound of it.
I finally got to close and my heart melted at the sight in front of me â Danica and the prince, standing together.
The teacher was already in class and the students stood all around her, ready for the presentation.
Whatâs it about this girl, huh? Why does she have to be the lucky one? Of all the students in school, including me, why does she have to be the lucky one?
As I stood by the door, staring at her, I suddenly saw something on her neck, something that looked familiar.
I strained my eyes to have a look and little by little, the image became clearer to me.
It was a birth mark, just a jor dot. But it looked so familiar.
Suddenly, my eyes dimmed when I recalled where Iâd seen it from.
Hah!! Of course!
It was the same mark Iâd seen on momâs neck the other night.
Oh my God! It was!
Now, I know why it had looked so familiar when Iâd seen it on mumâs neck. But why?

Danica
I couldnât think of a better way to thank the prince for what heâd done by helping me to class. Seriously, I wouldnât know what to do if I had to walk alone after that incidence. Thereâs no way Iâd have done it.
But with the prince holding my hand,,I was able to cover my shame and get successfully to class.
All eyes were on us and I didnât even want to know what theyâd possibly be saying. I guess the most important thing was getting to class successfully for the presentations.
Mrs Hayoon came in not long after and we all gathered around her.
âYou still recall the formulas, huh? My head is totally blankâ the prince whispered to me and I smiled.
Mrs Hayoon gave out the instructions. Each group was meant to work with their partners and in the end, the results were to correspond with that in the manual. If they donât correspond, it only meant everything done in h last three days was a waste of time.
When we were about to commence, that was when I sâ±0tted Bitna with her partner. But her eyes were pinned on me and this time around, I returned a glare before looking away.
Prince Nathan and I walked to our own side of the table and got ready to carry out the experiments.
âSo, whatâs the first thing on the list. Huh?â He asked as he adjusted the conical flask.
I could feel a lot of eyes on us and it made me wonder if theyâd ever be able to concentrate.
âUmâŠweâll be going withâŠthis, firstâ, I took up the required element and poured it into the flask.
He assisted with the things I needed and it was a perfect pair.
âWould you be chancedâŠ..for tonight?â He asked and my hands shook a little, making some of the elements pour on the table.
OhâŠmy!
âDanicaâŠâ He hushed my name and quickly grabbed a napkin to clean it off.
Geez! Whatâs wrong with me?
âIâmâŠ.Iâm so sorry, my prince. IâŠ.â I paused and moved my hair behind my ear.
Well, I didnât know what to say. But why would he ask me that?? I meanâŠwhat plan could he possibly have for the night thatâd involve me?
I looked at him and was about saying something when the teacher showed up.
âIs there a problem here?â She asked and I quickly shook my head.
âThen, concentrate. Thereâs no timeâ.
I bit my lower lip and turned back to the experiment. The prince didnât say any other thing either.
âUmâŠIâm so sorry, my prince. But can you help me with the carbon?â I asked since it was close to him. And he chuckled.
âIs that the reason you had to beg that much?â He asked as he handed the carbon to me and I just smiled shyly.
The class was so busy and it went on for a long while.
The prince and I were almost the last persons to round up with our experiments as the rest of the students had concluded with theirs already.
Mrs Hayoon went around, inspecting every bodyâs work and taking notes. And as she did, the students mumbled.
Prince Nathan turned to face me since she was far from us.
âI asked you a questionâŠbut youâre yet to replyâ he spoke calmly, trying to make sure the rest of the students couldnât hear him.
I felt my lungs become dry as I looked at him. G©sh! He was making me so nervous.
I was about telling him Iâd be free, but then I remembered mum.
Oh God! She was taking me to Prince Eric..
I stared down at the floor, bashfully.
âIs there a problem, my prince?â I asked, my eyes on the floor.
The thought of mum taking me to Prince Eric suddenly ruined my mood.
âWellâŠâ, he drew closer.
âI wanted you to accompany me to a party â as my dateâ.
I lifted my eyes sharply to look at him.
Whaaaaat???
