Hyperactive girl meets prince charming

chapter 6

Tess's Pov

"Thanks by the way" I said gratefully as I sat on the bed in the nurses office, she gave me some painkillers and said I would have a killer bruise but it would heal in a day or two and I would be fine. The boy opposite me looked at me angrily, he looked pissed and his bright blue eyes darkened with his mood. I tiled my head to the side, what did he have to be angry about?

"That stuck up prince should have helped you, not just stood looking" he said through gritted teeth and I sighed in understanding. So that's why most of the boys looked pissed, I thought it was due to me interrupting the lesson, it had only just started after all...

"Tess!" I heard my name being shouted and I snapped my head into the boy's direction. I needed to know his name; I can't just call him blonde can I? Though that would be kind of cool! I ginned slightly at the idea, though there were a lot of blondes in the school so it would probably get complicated.

"Are you like a freak or something?" I heard him mutter when he thought I was away with the fairies again. I looked at him with a bored expression, before I grinned. I couldn't stay bored for long, I always found something which amused me or stole away my attention. In this case it was a jar of lollies' I spotted. Yum!

"Yep" I answered him, popping the 'p' and made my way over to the lollies', I took out a red one and turned around to see the boy looking at my guiltily, I knew then he didn't mean for me to hear him.

"Lolly pop, lolly pop, ooh lolly, lolly pop" I started singing as I sucked on the lovely candy and went over to give the boy a hug much to his surprise. He was looking kind of scared now; I rolled my eyes and jumped up and down to test out my hip. The painkillers seemed to be doing their job since I felt nothing but a slight tingle, it was quite nice actually. I giggled as I bounced around the room.

"Well thanks for helping me!" I said grinning as I skipped next to him as we left the office. As I looked at him again I suddenly realised his name.

"Its Ben isn't it, your dating..." I said as I stroked my imaginary beard to try and figure out who he was dating. I knew it was a boy, strangely we didn't have a problem with gays at our school...it was good since I thought gays were cool, plus they made great friends and I needed more of them since Dana was avoiding me. Why I still didn't know.

"Liam" he said happily and I grinned at his expression. We had a lot of male couples at our school which I thought was pretty cool. We continued to walk as I skipped when I realised that I had forgotten my sketch book. I grabbed Ben's hand and dragged him back to the classroom which was still full, he was laughing as I tried my hardest to drag him will all my might while whining at how unfair it was that he was like 2 foot taller than me. Stupid boys and their muscles!

"Tess, Ben why are you late!" the teacher demanded pulling us out of our laughing fit. I looked at her strangely before I realised that she had been late for the lesson where I got scared the shit out of by someone who I thought was an evil fairy. He shall not be named. I ran through a number of excuses in my head but ended up blurting out...

"We were having a tea party with a gnome and he had car trouble!" every laughed at my lame excuse and the teacher opened her mouth to say something, but I was quicker.

"Wait!" I screamed and the whole class jumped slightly. I ran over to my bag which was on the floor, I must have knocked it over and quickly took out a shiny apple. I ran back and held it out for her; the teacher took it carefully, like it was going to implode or something. That would be quick funny, she would be holding the apple one minute then the next...BANG! I jumped slightly as the imaginary bomb went off in my head.

"Come on, whiles she distracted!" I heard Ben hiss and I skipped towards my seat, I noticed that the prince was watching me but I shrugged it off. While the girls were all trying to befriend him and be his girl or something I would just carry on like normal. It was obvious he didn't like me so I would be nice and stay out of his way. As I skipped to my seat I laughed to myself with the rest of the class, the teacher still stood their staring at the apple like it was about to explode. As I sat on the windowsill I grabbed my sketch book off the floor and searched for the prince since I totally wanted to finish my sketch.
