Chapter 13:

Lilith PoV:

'Mr.Dark prince?'

He looked petrified. May was confused. I was confused.

'pardon?'

'it's me, Mi belle! You called me that all the time remember?'

'I'm afraid I do not know you.' His reply was apathetic.

But no one can hide the truth from me anymore. I observed him head to toe looking for clues and when I looked him in the eye, I saw it, the spark, I saw it.

Not a love spark, a silver spark mixed with golden yellow.

I couldn't figure out what he was feeling, it was too mixed and out of my experience.

'Who are you?'

'His name is Kenneth and I thought you might like him since we're all in the same class.' May chortled.

Me and him in the same class? I felt a surge of fear and happiness rushing. I thought I could explode.

'and it turns out I'm right~' she teased.

I couldn't help but blush a little. When you put it like that, maybe I do like him. He was there when I needed him, spiritually. But he doesn't recognize me, and I can't figure him out.

he knew I was his quest partner and took a run for it. But why?

I guess I have no other choice but to find out.

'Hey I'm Lilith but you can call me...Belle' I winked and reached out my hand.

He shook it back. His grip was firm and stiff.

I flinched and pulled it back. His hand was cold as ice.

'Belle, is that what everyone calls you?' He chuckled softly.

'No, but I thought you would prefer calling me that.' i replied back.

he didn't reply.

'hey!! guess what lunch is over so let's go together what do you say??' May suddenly interrupted the tension in this room.

'whatever.' I said bluntly.

'alright, that would be helpful' he replied.

While we were walking I couldn't help but think if he remembered our first encounter.

He didn't look fazed by May. She's the most attractive girl in the whole school.

And to be honest, 'Kenneth' is the most attractive boy at school. First, it was James but now, it's him.

No, not really, Ken is more like my emotional support. James is who I like.

But seeing May and him walking around is like seeing a prince and princess walking together to the throne. and me, I'm like the maid who is carrying the crown behind them.

If life was a show, I would be the side character, nameless, and only here for comic relief. That's how I am right now, no one.

Nothing went according to plan. It's just frustra-

'hey!' May snapped me from my trance.

'yeah, what?'

'we're here so stop daydreaming.' she chuckled.

her aura was always simple and bright. Just like her.

I happened to notice that people\s auras tend to form like their personality.

Mixed colors represent the person's complexity and troubles like them.

If the aura is shaky, it means the person is secluded and isolated. If it's too bright, it represents their charismatic personality.

The colors represent how they are feeling at the moment but it's the form that really tells you how the person behaves.

She brushed her golden locks tenderly and smiled sweetly. people started swarming around her like flies.

Some boys frowned at Kenneth. He ignored them and took a seat beside me.

My face went red. I quickly took a deep breath to calm myself down.

James entered the room with his girlfriend. Beth looked savage as ever. I couldn't help but notice May's aura turn violet. What does violet mean again?

the teacher bared in. She was late as usual.

'alright, class settle down, oh! the new boy. Where is he again?'

'Up here' he raised his hand and calmly stood next to her.

Even the teacher looked surprised on seeing him. He does look like an outsider. people will pick on him if they see him.

He took a chalk and wrote his name neatly on the board. Beth seems to like him. I saw her winking at him. I scowled. She already has a boyfriend, why does she keep stealing all the boys I like?

His handwriting was neat and organized. the kind of handwriting a prince would have.

'As you can see, my name is Kenneth and I'm from...Frence.' It's clear he read a random country from the map hanging on the walls. But it might just fit the description of a french man. The beauty, accent, and personality are of a french man that even I believed him for a second.

'You mean France?' May asked chewing her bubblegum.

'...yes that's right.' he smiled.

People ignored it and started interviewing his personal life. they asked stupid and personal questions like: 'do you have a Mercedes?', 'are you single?', 'do you have a puppy?', 'which company does your dad own?'

I was frustrated and embarrassed when they asked me this. I was neither rich nor have two parents. Jus smart or lucky.

he didn't answer every question, only necessary ones, like where he was from and that he was rich. That was actually the answer people really wanted.

'alright thank you for sharing Mr. Dougan, I will let you know about your books and clubs later on.'

The school was finally over. For the others. I have to stay in detention. Megan was there. Great.

I sat down and quietly read a book. Megan kept staring at me. I got annoyed and asked her what. She said I got myself in big trouble. I replied it's my own business. She looked shocked and turned away quietly.

After that dream, I feel like a whole new person. It's like I shed my old, sad self and outgrew into something better. Whatever it is, I feel more powerful and in control. I can see their intentions, feelings, and emotions. I can feel the people and their distance. Everything is crystal clear.

And it's all because of the dark prince.
