The certain falls, the crown is removed

The Crown Prince did it for him - 9

Since Monday, Simon has withdrawn into himself. His gaze was filled with pain, which he sought not to show in public. Why such pretense. He wanted to do the right thing. According to conscience. But he didn't understand why he felt so bad. He couldn't sing. It was as if he couldn't open his mouth. The situation with August bothered him, but most of all his mother and sister worried him. He felt like he was betraying them. "Maybe I should have agreed to Wille's offer?", "Who am I doing better for?", but at the same time, since last year he feels guilty for taking these pills from his father and giving them to August. Of course, Eriksson doesn't want to go to jail. But take Sara's statement and August will get away with it. Is there any guarantee that he will not blackmail him or Wilhelm with these pills? No. It's August. You have to be ready with him. Simon was trying to fight with himself. But peace stands, and war destroys.

Thursday started as usual, although both Wille and Simon woke up before the alarm clock. Both were the last to enter the classroom. It was difficult for them to concentrate on their lessons. Thoughts flew away. They didn't even notice when it was time for lunch, and everyone went to the dining room. Wille looked into Simon's dimmed eyes and didn't know how to help him. There was silence between them, which only love could split. Wille should have been told that he had taken the pills and now Simon had nothing to worry about, but he couldn't. I couldn't admit to him, and first of all to myself, that I had broken the promise of "no more secrets." And it hasn't even been a week. But he couldn't do it any other way. I just couldn't. Besides, he had the idea that it might not be the only jar of pills. And only after the police search of Augustus, he will be sure that the danger has passed.

When everyone returned after lunch, the screams of girls began to be heard all over the classroom. They were obviously upset about something and blamed the boys for it. The boys, in turn, were perplexed and tossed from side to side. It turned out that someone had glued objects that were lying quietly on the table to superglue to all the girls in the class. And they obviously didn't like it. But some of the boys, especially Henry and Walter, burst into laughter.

- What on earth are we going to do about it? - Stella screamed, trying to pull the eraser off the desk.

- Happy April Fool Day! - Walter laughed.

The girls were indignant for a long time and picked at their desks, while the English lesson began. and the teacher quickly noticed that chalk does not write on the blackboard.

- And who did it? – after waiting a little, she continued with a smile on her face, - you understand that we can continue verbally. And whoever did it should have chosen the lesson better if you wanted to disrupt it. It won't work with English. And now we will answer the questions verbally.

- Whooooo ... - was heard throughout the class.

And all dutifully began to perform the hated task. While the girls also secretly corresponded with each other, preparing a plan for revenge.

They started implementing it as soon as physical education ended. While everyone was in the shower, several Hillerska students made their way to the locker room and took with them as many pairs of shoes as they could carry. And they threw them on a tree, having previously tied the laces. Someone even managed to plant on branches.

The boys did not immediately discover the loss, and when they finally realized what had happened, the girls were gone. Of course, they couldn't get shoes. To do this, you need to look for a ladder. So those who were unlucky had to walk barefoot on the grass still wet after the rain and the most pleasant road for the feet. Among these lucky ones were Simon and Wille. Even the shoes they were wearing in physical education were not there. Or rather, it was flaunted among the branches of trees.

- Damn it! I will miss the bus, - Simon protested.

- I can lend you shoes. We just have to get to the room, - Wilhelm picked up.

- Okay. Thanks, - Simon replied without enthusiasm.

And while everyone continued to be indignant and try to get shoes. The guys hurried to the hostel, periodically passing through the obstacle course and supporting each other with their hands. They did well. Together. For the first time that day, Wille saw on Ericsson not a painted smile and not eyes lost in time, but something alive. For a moment they forgot everything.

Already flying into the building, the guys saw people in uniform. There were two of them, and judging by their conversation, the others were upstairs at the time.

-The search must have begun, - Wille remarked.

- Probably, - Simon's smiling face had just been replaced by a sad grimace.

They both remembered what they were living on now, and in deathly silence they headed for Wilhelm's room. Eriksson is unrecognizable. Cotton wool melted before my eyes. The prince wanted to hug him so much. To give him all of yourself. Call him baby. Just sit down with hot green tea in a rumpled cozy bed and watch your favorite movie. Or even arrange a Harry Potter marathon. But all this is more than real. Here is Simon. Here he is Wille. They are so close and so far, apart. How could he let him down? The Crown Prince did it for him. It remains only to tell Simon.

- I took the pills... Felice and I destroyed them, - looking at how Eriksson puts on shoes, Wilhelm seemed to repent, - I'm sorry, I couldn't let you go.

-Wille, - Simon sighed, - well, I asked you not to do that. You want to save one crime with another. You can't do that. Who better than you should understand this? You promised!

- No, – the prince shook his head, - How... How could you ask for this! Do you even realize that this is a prison? And in general, only August is to blame for all this. He has to pay. Not you! You can't.

- Now I can't. This was my chance to do the right thing. And you took and made the decision for us. And how can I talk to you.

- I thought I was saving us, - said Wille and Sometimes by Kameron sounded in his head.
