Monday afternoon classes were chaotic. The whispers and stares continued, but Astrid finally got a chance to Simon and his sister Sara during Maths class. Or more, she was able to get a look at Sara, considering she had already seen the video. She didn't speak to either of them, however.

"Wait, you haven't talked to him since the press conference?" Astrid asked quietly in amazement. She would have thought Wilhelm would have at least tried to clean up some of the fallout which was going to happen after claiming it wasn't him in the video.

"I don't want to talk about it," He replied, giving Simon a side eye glance while the other boy was engaged in conversation with his sister. Wilhelm settled down by Astrid at the desk, both pulling their books out of the bag and getting ready for the beginning of class.

"Alright, why don't we talk about the actual press conference then?" She said, "Or are we also not talking about that?"

Wilhelm made a face, answering Astrid's question wordlessly. "Fine. Wallow in your own misery. Let me know when we are going to do something about it".

"I didn't have a choice," He said sharply, as the teacher entered the room. Scurrying out of their chairs, the class welcomed their teacher to the lesson, before being allowed to sit again. "I did what I had to do in order to keep my reputation, you cannot shame me for that," Wilhelm continued in a hushed whisper.

"I'm not," Astrid flicked her book open, "I'm just saying, whenever it is that you realise that reputations can get stuffed because no one actually gives a shit, let me know and we'll make some chaos together".

Before Wilhelm could reply, the teacher began addressing the class. "Before we begin today, I thought it would be best to introduce our new comer, Princess Astrid Henstridge. I'm sure you'll make her feel welcome here at Hillerska".

"I'm not actually a royal," Astrid corrected, "My title of 'The People's Princess' is mostly superficial".

"You live at the palace, with the royal family," A boy from behind said, "I'd say that qualifies you as royalty". Astrid and Wilhelm turned to see it had been Simon who had spoken. Astrid chose not to reply, instead raising an eyebrow but promptly turning back around to face the front.

As the teacher dismissed Simon's comment, Astrid leant over to Wilhelm. "I trust you," She said, "But that-" She nodded towards Simon, "Was probably a bad decision".

Wilhelm sighed but didn't reply. Instead, he put his head down and started on the Maths questions they had been assigned for that lesson. Astrid watched him for a few moments, working away quietly like the good little prince he was, before turning her gaze to the tanned skinned boy who was situated behind them.

What makes you so special? Astrid thought to herself, and how did you manage to pull the Prince of Sweden?
