The princess's scandal

4

My first day of school went well, I would say. The days following up to the weekend went well too. This fake relationship was easier than I expected. Gavi always arrives to school late because of his football practices and gets to school by the third period. I learned to eat breakfast and lunch by myself in the library and to avoid any interactions with random strangers.

We did not classes together so I didn't have to see him much. And when we did see each other, he took charge and made sure that we were acting as a couple. The girl from room 101 never came back and I was more than glad that she didn't return.

At home, Aunt Maria was barely home. She was busy with work as she was a journalist and newscaster. The tension between Mariana and I still remains. And I was not going to talk to her until I was spoken to first.

Saturday came by faster than I expected. This meant that I would have to face the dreadful party. It seemed Marina was also going to the party. She was all dressed up in red dress and heavy make up. Her friends picked her up while I was stuck here at home, waiting for Gavi to pick me up.

I wore a white blouse and black jeans. I was keeping it causal. Nothing dramatic.

He said he was coming around 8. He arrived at 8:33, late as ever. What a gentleman. I got inside his car and he took off at the speed of light

"Slow down," I warned.

He just looked over at me and ignored my warning. Instead of listening, he accelerated and now we were probably going to die. Thankfully, after three heart attacks, we made it to the party without any accident.

We went inside the mansion and my god, it was packed with students all over the place. There was drinking and people partying. This was definitely not my scene. I have been to a few parties in the past but they were far more civilized than this.

"Let's go find Pedri," he said.

We found him by the stairs, conversing with Camila. I braced myself for interrogation and craziness.

"My two favorites came," Pedri greeted us.

"Indeed, they did," Camila added, only looking at me.

I felt very much uncomfortable.

"Come with me," Camila suggested before dragging me away.

I mouthed for Gavi to help me but he just ignored me and continued on his talk with Pedri while Camila took me to the center of the party.

We met up with Sophia there.

"Have a drink," Camila instructed, grabbing a glass of alcohol from one of the waitress.

"No thanks," I was not a drinker.

"Oh come on," she insisted, pushing it closer to me.

I rejected it and accidently knocked the glass down.

The drink splashed all over her dress, leaving red stains, before crashing down onto the ground and leaving pieces everywhere.

Everyone looked in our direction.

"Oh my god, my new Louis Vuitton dress. It was brand new!" she screeched.

"I'm sorry," I hastily apologized, handing her some napkins.

"What's going on?" Gavi asked, appearing out of nowhere and looking at the mess in front of us.

"She knocked the drink down. By accident, of course," Camila revealed.

"If you meant your apology, then it's only right that you pay her back?" Sophia said, raising her brows.

I did not like the tone in her voice.

"Play a drinking game with us," Camila said.

Shit, everyone was looking at me and it would be shameful to say no. But if I say yes, I was basically trapping myself. This was peer pressure on the next level.

"Sure," I reluctantly replied.

We were playing a drinking game where you either told a truth or do a dare and if you didn't do either, you had to take a shot of the vodka.

We were outside playing this stupid game in the backyard. Gavi was sitting next to me and we were all hurdle around a fireplace.

"Is it true princesses are forced to be in an arranged marriage?" Sebastian asked.

"No," I answered.

It was Gavi turns next. He chose dare and they dared him to give me a lap dance. I was very against this and Gavi was so too as he chose to drink the vodka instead.

We all went around the circle until it was my turn again.

"Are you a virgin?" Camila asked.

I tense up at this question. It was a taboo to discuss our sexual relation in the royal family. And I was not the type to reveal it. But if I didn't say anything, I would have to drink the vodka which was also a taboo.

I picked up the vodka and was ready to shove it down my throat.

"No, she has her needs" Gavi answered for me, giving everyone the wrong idea.

I threw my head in his direction, shocked by what he say. And it seemed the others were amused by his answer, especially his boy friends who patted his shoulder like some damn champion.

Why in the hell is he answering for me? He knew this was false, considering we never went above anything but holding hands.

"Excuse me, I need to go get water," I said, trying to find an excuse to leave this place.

"I'll go with you," Gavi said.

He followed behind me and I went to the kitchen. Thank god, it was empty because I needed to have a conversation with him about his careless actions and words.

"Why did you answer for me?" I hissed.

"I saved you from being humiliated."

"Humiliation? What you said was humiliating," I retorted.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, princess. But being a virgin at your age is embarrassing."

I smacked him across the face. It was inappropriate and out of line to say such words. Who was he to judge me?

"See, I knew you weren't always calm," he said as if he made a point.

"Fuck off."

With that said, I exited the kitchen and left the
party. It was too much for me to be in the same party as them.

These people were the worst.
