Part 11 - I'm in the newspaper again

Pov Nick
I grin and look at Wilhelm, who still seems very sleepy. We're both in the kitchen. "I have to check something very quickly" he picks up his phone and looks at it not really enthusiastically. "What's up?" he silently shows me an article written in Swedish. "I can't speak Swedish" "Sorry, i forgot" he takes his phone back.

"Translated, the whole thing actually means: 'Is Crown Prince Wilhelm still with his boyfriend?' great, right?"  "Yes, of course" "The Crown Prince answered a few questions, but when the conversation turned to his boyfriend Simon, he reacted visibly angry. 'That's none of your business!' said Crown Prince Wilhelm. He's currently with a few other students of Hillerska Boarding School in England." he reads aloud somewhat hesitantly. Wilhelm puts his phone upside down on the table.

"I didn't answer a single question. The guy spoke to me directly about Simon. Besides, what do they expect? They're standing here in front of the house and think that I'm excited to tell them about my relationship with Simon." "Stupidity shouldn't be rewarded. You reacted completely correctly" I bring him a bowl of cornflakes. "Good morning" my mother comes down the stairs. "What's up?" she looks at Wilhelm. "Oh" he waves it off. "I'm just in the newspaper again" "Why?" "Apparently me and Simon are with" he looks at his phone. "95% probability of not being together anymore" "I also think ao" "I didn't know until just now either" we eat quickly and then go upstairs again.

"Have you got your school uniform yet?" "Yes, we had to take them with us" "Good" we'll change. Before we ate, we were both just too lazy. "Do you actually do sports?" he looks into my closet, which is full of jerseys and other sports gear. "Rugby yes, and you?" "Rowing" "You row?" "There's just not that much choice at our school, but rugby sounds very interesting too" "I have training today, so if you're interested you can come and watch" "I'll think about it" after we've both finally finished changing, we went down stairs.

"You're both a bit late" Malin sees below and points to her watch. "We'll make it on time" I go to my mom, hug her goodbye. "Bye" "Bye and please take care of yourselves" "We'll do our best" I smile. "Please come?" "Yes" we quickly follow Malin, who is almost at the car. I look around. There are those people with cameras again, but the guy with the microphone is missing, interesting. "Warning, I think they're going to take photos and videos of us again" says Wilhelm quietly in my ear. He's right, as soon as they spot us, they pick up their cameras again.  "Get in the car quickly" "Okay" I open the door and sit inside. "Slide over" I slide to the other side.

"Thank you" he says as he gets in. "Have your parents actually said anything about the article?" "No, but to be honest I could do without it." "I can understand that. I don't know if my mother would find that great" he laughs. Some phone rings and I look questioningly at Wilhelm. He reaches into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulls out his cell phone. "Look" he stretches out his mobile phone to me. "Your mother, how great" "Right?" he's holding it to his ear.
