The princess's scandal

3

     After the conversation with the principal, he led me to my homeroom class before finally me alone there.

The teacher told me to take a seat so I sat at an empty desk in the front.

Truth be told, I was still thinking about Gavi and room 101. Who was that girl? Did she know about Gavi and I fake relationship? Why did he call me to go there? To embarrass me?

My head aches from too much thinking.

When lunch rolled around, I wanted to do nothing more than go home. But with the little energy I had left, I entered the cafeteria.

At this point, I did not care if people were staring at me. It felt normal to me. The attention, the gossip, the pointing - you have to learn to ignore it at some point.

Someone had come up from behind and wrapped their arm around my waist. I immediately flinched and moved away.

It was Gavi, of course.

He was all smiling and positive, as if everything was normal. As if I didn't see him make out with a girl just a few hours ago.

"Hello, girlfriend," he greeted.

"What was room 101 about?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

"Aww, are you jealous?" He asked, pinching my cheek.

What in the world?

"Not jealous. Just annoyed that you are risking this relationship because of your lack of self-control," I replied.

"I was just giving her a goodbye gift. Today was her last day here. You won't see her again" he revealed as if that will make the situation better.

News flash, it didn't. It just showed how shameless he was.

He was leading me to a table in the center of the cafeteria. It was where a group of kids were located. There was a girl on top of another boy's lap. Two guys who were arguing with each other. They all looked at me once I reached the table.

The girl got up and gave me a hug. "It's finally nice to meet you, your highness."

I could smell her floral scent. She was a short girl, with pretty round eyes.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you too."

"Okay, that's enough Laura," Gavi said, pulling me away from her.

I met the other two dudes, Sebastian and Pedri. The boy Laura was on top of was Samuel, her boyfriend. Samuel and Laura did their own thing at the end of the table while I was stuck conversing with the other three. Apparently, these people were his best friend.

How has the school been?" Pedri asked.

"It's going well," I lied.

"Better than your princess academy," he referred to my old school as the princess academy. It seems he might know a bit more about me than I expected.

"Not quite."

My old school was better in many ways. First, it didn't have this much testosterone. I could go on and on but I didn't.

"Go to the party on Saturday. It'll change your view about this school," he suggested.

That was a definite no. Parties were not my - "Yeah, she's coming with me," Gavi answered for me.

I gave him a look and he simply just ignored it. As if he did not give a single care about my feelings or opinions. Actually, he did not care at all considering how he traumatized me early this morning. He was selfish and obnoxious.

Lunch went by fast as I was talking with his friends. Actually, they did all the talking. I did most of the nodding and agreeing.

One thing I noticed from observing them was that Gavi was a smooth talker. He easily made them laugh with his jokes. He was attentive yet active in talking. His dynamic with his friends were something I found myself getting jealous of.

After lunch, Gavi walked me to the classroom. I was half annoyed that I was forced to accept an invitation by force. All thanks to my lovely fake boyfriend.

Two girls came up to us. I held my breath, hoping it was not one of the many girls he was messing with.

"Gavi, why didn't you introduce us to your wonderful girlfriend?" The red hair aksed, eyeing me like a hawk.

"Are you trying to hide her from us?" The other one, a blonde hair, added.

"Of course not, ladies. She's all yours."

With that said, he left me alone with these two girls, who were eyeing me like some type of food.

That bastard, how can he just go?

"Leonor, you look nearly as beautiful as the papers make you out to be," Camila commented.

"Thanks. You two look beautiful."

"How did you and Gavi came to meet?" The other girl, Sofia asked.

"Online," I gave a short answer, hoping they would leave me alone.

"Is that so? Did he text you first -"

Thankfully, the bell interrupted her and I was more than glad to be saved.

"Oh, by the way, Isabel is returning from New York next week. Just in case, you wanted to know."

Before she could continue on, Camila had dragged her away.

Who was Isabel and why did I care to know?
