Christabel's pov
the door opened. bang! am doomed.
I ran to the bathtub as fast as I could and on the tap. The creaking sound of the door stopped.
"Are you there?" He'd asked and I nodded even if he wasn't there.
"Yes. I'm taking my bath." I was getting relieved when the water had began to reach my chest level.
"Oh! Just don't die there." He grunted and slammed the door hard.
If possible, I would have gone to church and did a thanksgiving to God.
F*ck I almost got caught.
I stopped the running water and took a soap then had my bath.
After that, I prayed for him not to be in his room. I opened the door slowly and peeped.
No one was there. I came out and ran to my room like I was chased or something.
I breathed out and changed into something casual.
I slipped under my duvet and slept off.
Tomorrow is another day.
**
I rolled from the bed and got down, wore my flip flops and walked to the door. I opened it and saw the prince sleeping peacefully on the bed.
He look handsome when sleeping.
'Stop drooling and go take your bath' My subconscious said and I rolled my eyes.
I closed the door very well then took my bath and got dressed. I grabbed my school bag and phone then got to the door and twisted the knob and got to the prince room.
He's still sleeping.
Argh!
Just as I was about to step out, he cleared his throat that made me turned back to him.
He was already sitting on his bed.
I gulped.
"Good morning." I managed to say.
"Did you clean the room?" He ignored my greeting.
"Nope, when I come back, I will do that. I don't Wanna get late." I answered.
"Check the time, I asked you to wake up before 6:00am to clean this place. Now, it's 8:30am" He frowned at me.
I scoffed secretly. He's asking me to wake up around 6:00 and he's just waking around 8am.
I can't believe this prince.
"Now, get that bag over here and do what I asked you to do!" He snapped, making me flinch.
Oh God! What the hell.
"The lesson is about to start by 9:00am. I can't do all that now, my prince." I pouted.
He laughed hysterically and looked at me. Am beginning to guess if he's mad. Cause the way he laughed is beyond explanation. But he's more handsome.
"I just suddenly think you're a girl. My mind is telling me something different about you." He narrowed his gaze.
"Now! Get back to work! You're going to class with me." He added and jumped down from his king sized bed.
I sighed and cleaned the room. Even did mine and soon I was through. The prince walked into the room with his towel tied around his waist.
Fuck! He's dripping wet!
The water in his hair was dripping to his lips making it more pinkish.
Christabel! Stop drooling.
"You know am beginning to think if you're a girl. Or are you gay? Quit staring at me like that!" He snorted and walked to the other side of the bed.
He picked some clothes and held the towel. About to loose.....wait! He's gonna go naked in front of me?
Jeez! I quickly turned.
"Why the turning? Aren't you a boy?" I heard him chuckled.
"Nope, don't wanna see the Prince's nakedness." I replied.
"Whatever!"
Minutes later, he walked up to me and stared at my face. I was biting my lips just as my heart was beating faster.
"You really look alike. I mean you and your twin." I looked into my eyes.
He walked closer and smirked.
"You have same hair with her too." He touched my hair and rubbed it.
I sighed and tried to fix it back. I spent almost an hour doing this hair.
The prince walked to his bed and took a book then his phone and walked out while I followed him.
I checked the time, it was 9:40am.
Damn!
"Which class are you?" He queried.
"Hmm...class A." I responded.
"Good. You're in my class. Seat beside me." He said and walked into a class.
My eyes met the students in the class. An old man which am sure must be a teacher was there.
The class looked at me then the prince.
"I guess you're the new student we are expecting." The man said with a smiled.
"Introduce yourself." He added.
I cleared my throat and said, " Good morning, I'm Chris David. Nice meeting you all."
"Welcome. You look handsome." A guy at the back grinned.
"Thanks. You're handsome too." I'd take that handsome for pretty.
"Awwn! Thanks!" The boy smiled.
Behaving womanish.
"Okay, go take a seat." The man said, pointing to the empty chair beside a red haired guy.
I glanced at the prince. There's no way am gonna seat beside him cause a guy is already sitting beside him.
"Let him stay here while Jayson can go there." He pointed to me and the guy sitting beside him.
Wow! So he's making the guy leave so I can sit beside him.
The guy frowned at me and obeyed the prince.
I sat beside the prince and brought out my books.
The teacher began teaching mathematics which I hate most.
Later on, he stopped teaching and decided to ask some questions.
Surprisingly, the prince answered everything.
Hmm...he must be a genius.
"My father is coming today." The prince announced.
"What?!" Everyone shouted.
Why the shout! What's happening?
"No noise!" The teacher yelled.
"So, you all know what to do right?" The prince grinned.
What are they doing? Am lost.
Before I knew what was going on.....everyone had stood up from their seats and ran outside.
Even the teacher. I was the only one left. With the prince.
He got up from his seat and walked towards the door.
He's going to leave me here?
"Where are they going?" I managed to ask.
"Ohh! To the field." He simply said and left.
I sprang up from my seat and ran to catch up with him. He walks too fast.
"What are they gonna do on the field?" I asked, breathing hard.
"Oh! They are gonna do training till they get tired." He chuckled.
"Training? What type of training?" I asked.
"When you get there you will know.....wait! You haven't eat? Haha! You're gonna die today" He laughed loudly.
I watched him as he laugh. He's just too handsome. And I don't understand him again.
He can laugh now, the next minutes he's yelling.
I didn't wanna ask anything again. Instead, I wanna see for myself.
But what about the prince? Cause he didn't eat this morning too.
**
We got to the large field and saw everyone on the field. Each classes with two teachers.
I couldn't see the prince beside me. So I joined my classmates.
Everywhere was quiet.
Soon, the prince came in then the .....king! In his royal regalia and a golden crown on his head.
I could say the queen is lucky to have him cause he's still handsome. Even in his old age.
"Good morning, your majesty." They greeted him while I kept shut.
They went on one knee and bowed down. I was standing but when I noticed I was the only one, I quickly did what they did.
"Rise!" The King's thick voice came out.
"You all know why am here? Every 14th of the month, you all do your training." He began.
I guess everyone forgot about it. No wonder they shouted back then in class.
"Yes!!" The student chorused.
"Oh my! I haven't eaten." Someone whispered.
"For how long is this gonna take?" I whispered to the boy.
"Four hours" He replied.
My eyes widened.
What? Four hours! Am gonna faint soon. What kind of training is that?
"Do you know why the king is doing all this?" I asked again.
"I heard the royal family is in danger most especially, the crowned prince." He pointed to the prince, secretly.
Wow! Really? Is that why mom said, I'd be the one to save the prince?
Am sure, he has some enemies who are after him.
He's the only one here. I heard his step siblings aren't in this country.
"So, what's the main reason for this?"
"This school isn't just a school where you learn, it's also a body guard school" The boy explained.
"Bodyguard?"
