To Tame A Reckless Prince

The Event

Please read the Author's note at the end, it's kinda important plus, I added an ending dialogue!

ARABELLA'S POV

I was right when I said the prince won't look at me in that dress. He didn't.

We were at the black tie optional party, which was so stuffy and boring. There were no signs of reporters anywhere either and I felt suffocated. It turned out that it was't a charity event like the king had told me, it was rather just.... a party. And a boring one at that.

The only thing that was worse than being at that party was being ignored by the prince. He stood by me but, he didn't pay any attention to me. His eyes kept following that raven haired girl.. I found that her name was Massie Riviera, and she was rich, connected, well mannered and obviously beautiful. Of course he'll stare at her.

Eventually, I started hurting, because of how he kept watching her

"Go, Your Highness" I whispered in a barely audible voice

"Hmm?" he mumbled not paying attention.

"Go to Massie, it's so obvious you want to be with her right now" I replied.

He didn't say anything, he just left and a few seconds later, the girl followed him.

I sighed as I began to understand. The prince was obviously smitten by this girl but the king wanted no girl near him. Since i'm as unattractive as they come, the king had me tag along with him to keep the prince away from the girl and the girl away from him.

But, with the pain I'm feeling now, I guess it wasn't worth it. 'Think of the money, you need the money' I chanted mentally to keep from running out of the place and back home.

"He's going to break her heart" a voice said. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a black haired guy.

"Excuse me?" I asked the random person

"The prince is going to break up with Massie" he replied.

"How do you know that, what does it have to do with you anyways?" I asked the guy.

"Massie is my sister." he answered" and I've been watching them ever since this thing started. He's going to break my little sister's heart"

"O-kay? Why are you telling me this?" I asked the weirdo.

"I don't know...." he said trailing off then leaving

"Okay... bye?" I called out uncertainly.

"That was weird" I murmured

"I wouldn't take it too personally" a feminine voice said "Jared Riviera just has a unique personality"

The voice belonged to a girl who looked my age. She had short red hair and incredibly green eyes.

"Hi, I'm Phoebe-Kayla, but you can just call me Phoebe."She said with a bright smile on her face and her arm extended.

"I'm Arabella" I responded with an equally bright smile.

"Nice to meet you" she said

I saw Eugene walking to the punch table with a blonde dangling from his hand and for some strange reason.... he looked mad. I wondered why he looked angry and where Massie was. Maybe they had an argument or broke up or something...anyway, he completely ignored me and I'll be honest, it hurt.

I talked with Phoebe for a while but I couldn't stop myself from staring at Eugene. He still looked angry and sometimes, I caught him glaring at his father.
