JUST ON THE SECOND DAY? PART 1

Alex gets to class and sees Andrew sitting right on the chair on which he was sitting before they were both driven out of the class. 'Are you set on being enemies with me?', Alex thought inwardly.

But without a change in his mood, he tried to look for another seat, and that was when Andrew called out to him, "Hey, Your Highness. You can come sit down beside me. I have a huge heart to accommodate people unlike some certain people".

Apart from the other words that Andrew spoke, there was very obvious sarcasm in the way he called out his greetings like he didn't put Alex in his eyes. The other students, mostly those of the nobles and dukes wondered how Andrew was able to have such guts to be able to speak to Alex in such a way. They thought of him as wasted and some who were in the library said inwardly that Andrew must have a death wish as he was intent on having issues with everyone from the royal family.

Alex totally ignores him, though, but after a while of searching around for where to sit, he is unable to find any available place. He was directly holding back his urge to drive someone away from their seat, but he understood perfectly that using one's position in this school was one of the violations of its rules, which could lead to immediate expulsion.

Having no other choice, he walks towards the only available seat, which is close to Andrew. Andrew has a victorious smirk on his face as he says while patting Alex on his shoulders, "My good friend, so you finally listened to me. Don't worry, I am totally aware of the fact that you love being at the edge, so I would move inside".

Alex's face almost turns sour at the actions of Andrew, but he holds on against it, and no sooner, their next teacher comes in, and their learning gets underway.

Soon, the time for their second break was approaching. A new teacher was in the class who was teaching them about beasts. Just a basic explanation about them, though. Andrew has a little understanding of the animals in this world, and he thought of going to the library this time around to learn more about it. He would hold off on the history of this world for now and would continue down on it later on.

The period was finally over, and the teacher wrapped up and walked outside. But on opening the door, there was someone who was outside the door, which almost scared the teacher. "Huh, Audrey. What are you doing here?". Andrew hears the name, and a spark goes off in his head, and his heart starts beating fast as if he is about to meet his greatest enemy in this world. He could never forget the name of that girl, the girl who broke his heart after trusting her fully.

'Was she also reincarnated?', that was the first thought that got into his head. 'That's impossible, right? I thought she got wedded to Jay and should be living the life of her dreams. Nothing bad is supposed to happen to her after that. Or maybe karma finally came to my rescue? Serves her right though. I hope she died a miserable death. Yes, it should be nothing short of being absolutely painful', Andrew thought with a happy smile on his face.

'If it's really you, I swear to make you pay for all that you did to me', he vowed.

"I came to see my brother", a beautiful voice sounds from behind the door. "Ohh, okay then", the teacher said while walking off without paying any more attention to her. The voice seemed familiar to Andrew, but he couldn't put his finger quite well on whom it belonged to. If it was someone he had known for long, there was no way he could have forgotten the person. 'Or maybe I am overthinking things because I am about to see her? It could very much be so', he said inwardly.

A beautiful leg steps into the class, and Andrew gulps down, anticipating the appearance of Audrey in this life. Soon, the full appearance of the girl was before everyone.

The whole class was totally silent when everybody saw the appearance of this girl. 'How can someone be this beautiful?' that was what was in most of the guys' minds. Even most girls tried comparing themselves to this girl in front of them and they were dismayed at the results. This was the definition of absolute beauty, and no one present in this class could compare.

Although most of the descendants of the nobles and dukes have seen her, they were still stunned by her beauty. Everybody was feeling crazy about her except just two people though, Alex and Andrew.

Alex's reason was because he was her brother and had no such fetish feelings towards her. In the case of Andrew, it was due to the fact that this girl was the same girl that he had seen in the library and had kissed.

'How could they both bear the same name? Is it just coincidence or is someone playing tricks on me?', Andrew screams inwardly.

This was a huge blow to him; he had grown to hate the name Audrey. And this girl just had to be as beautiful or even more than she was.

Alex just smiled while seeing her and beckoned unto her before turning towards the whole class and saying in a loud voice such that it was audible to everyone in the class, "Sorry to disturb you all, but I would like for you all to cooperate with me while my sister searches for someone. It won't take much time, so please, you all should stay in the class, and I will be in your debt".

After saying that, he turned towards his sister, who was coming up, and said, "Please, the moment you find him, you should point him out". She just nods and gets close to her brother, but she all of a sudden becomes silent while staring at the boy who sat down directly close to Alex. Although he had waited for a while, Audrey hadn't said anything, so he was worried that maybe she was afraid of the person although that didn't seem plausible, it was the only possible explanation he could come up with after seeing her silent, "You don't need to be afraid, sister. Just point him out and all would be settled".

But she was still silent, which made him frown and look directly at her. He was about to say something, but he noticed her trembling while staring in a particular direction. He all of a sudden had an awkward feeling about who she was staring at and deeply hoped that it wasn't who he thought he was, as her stare gave away the culprit of the action she had told him about.

Andrew was at the corner shocked at the revelation about who she was and what he had gotten himself into. 'Never could I have imagined that she was the princess. Should I run away now that I have the chance? What about Marian? What would happen to her? This is why I didn't want to get myself associated with anyone from the beginning. Now I don't even have an option of running away', he clicks his tongue in annoyance.

"Is he the one?", Alex asks while pointing at Andrew with an ugly face. "Yes, he is", this time around, Audrey finally speaks. Alex turns around and grabs Andrew by his collar while saying in a loud voice, "How dare you?". "How dare me what?", Andrew replies, not feeling nervous one bit. "How dare you perform such an act? And at that with my sister?", Alex asks while getting more angry as each second goes by.

By this time, all the students had reacted to the commotion and understood that something was wrong somewhere. Nobody present would have the guts to go against the royal family openly as even a wounded tiger could still strike a vicious blow, but it seems like Andrew not only had the guts to do that but could also have issues with two people who came directly from that lineage. Everybody now understood for a fact that there was something wrong with this perfect-score student. Even Marian at the side didn't expect all this and was wondering what Andrew must have done to antagonize the princess.

"Did you have any proof about me being the one to have performed any act? And what act are you talking about?", Andrew replies coolly as if the issue on ground wasn't anything serious but just a little conversation that could be continued another day. "So you are trying to say that my sister is a liar?", Alex asks. He was just holding off on the impulse to hit Andrew in the face right now. "I didn't say so. But she could have as well got the wrong guy. Since you believe every word she says, she might just come by tomorrow and say that I kissed her, and you might believe", Andrew says while staring at Audrey towards the end of the sentence. "Weren't you the one that kissed me?", Audrey jumps into the matter at hand. "You see what am talking about. She could as well accuse me of kissing her and now she has done it", Andrew says once again but in derision of her words. "But it's the tru....", Audrey wasn't able to finish her words before Alex covered her mouth. He had been trying not to make the issue on ground known. But she just had to be led on by Andrew; he understood for a fact that it was Andrew's doing, as a victorious smile could be seen on his face.

Everybody in the class was flabbergasted by this revelation. They all knew for a fact that Audrey wouldn't lie about such a serious matter and accuse the wrong person, as she didn't have the need to. There was great anger in the eyes of most of the guys in the class as they stared at Andrew. If perhaps looks could kill, Andrew would have been dead countless times. Sebastian, at this time, was looking at Andrew with an interesting smile on his face. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment. But if his siblings or father were present, they would give him space and wouldn't disturb him, as this was a time in which he was planning something absolutely beyond the thinking of ordinary men. Marian was truly shocked by what was going on and the intensity of the matter, 'Andy what have you gotten yourself into? If you had wanted to kiss someone, Eve is there or perhaps even m...', she soon stopped in her thoughts and wondered what was going on in that head of hers that would make her think that way about someone she considers as a family. 'But why do you have to get yourself involved in the royal family? This is the end of the line I guess. But I won't let anything bad happen to you brother. I would share every single circumstance with you', her thoughts continued while a defeated smile was plastered on her face.

Audrey finally notices that she has been led on by Andrew, and starts getting angry. Formerly, she had just been embarrassed by all that had happened, and that was the reason for her trembling. But now, Andrew has made her really angry. She never thought she would be this angry towards anybody and at that in a public environment, but guess she was wrong. Even Alex by the side was trembling pretty hard while he asked, "So you are trying to deny the fact that you did it?". He understood perfectly that the cat was out of the bag and there was nothing that he could do at this point to turn back time in order to stop such a scenario from repeating itself.

Andrew just stares at the two siblings for a while, like he was observing something. A bright light flashes past his eyes before he says as if he has been defeated, "I didn't deny kissing her or having anything to do with her. I just said that maybe she could have the wrong person. I was the one who kissed her and I have no scruples with admitting that fact. Her lips were just too tempting to let go and I performed the act. It is not against the school rules to kiss someone I feel like kissing, is it? Or is it against the laws of the kingdom? I don't seem to have heard something like that. So there you have it". Andrew pauses for a moment before continuing while moving towards Alex and patting his shoulder, "So stop dropping to conclusions, my friend. I won't ever deny my actions. I am a real man who has something undernea....".

But this time around, Andrew wasn't able to complete his statement before a punch landed squarely on his face that pushes him backward and causing blood to spurt.
