CROWNS ACADEMY

෴⁠ VOLUME [21]෴⁠

Rai's POV

The whole ride back to Alma was filled with silence with Siin trying to tell me that there was probably a reason Liam did what he did.

When we got to school, I quickly made my way to the abode avoiding anything and everything but mostly someone.

When I got to the abode I found all Lex sitting on the couch watching a blank television.

Definitely not weird.

When she saw me she immediately stood up and hugged me.

"I knew my brother was a jerk but not jerk enough to cheat on you. I'm so sorry dear." Lex said in between our hug.

"It's fine, I've cried enough not to care anymore." I said preventing the tears that were threatening to start flowing.

"I will stand in solidarity with you until my brother explains himself and apologizes to you. I will ignore him. " Lex said leading me to the couch.

The next few days were spent avoiding the public and fights with Luna as she kept insulting me on the hallways.

She was always walking with Liam. The other guys didn't seem that close to him though.

Liam had gone back to his cold self. His gray eyes lost the spark I had seen for months. Smiling was no longer in his vocabulary and whenever he lay eyes on me he looked away quickly.

So much for trying.

My art class decided to hold a grand art gallery where we invited all the other big schools in the world and the famous artists.
The king and queen of the States were also invited.

Making the preparation took my mind off the whole break-up.

I let my love for art take over. I personally drafted the interior design of the gallery hall. It was a huge hall with ceiling high windows.

All the art students were allowed to bring in their art works.
I made sure to put up the correct lighting and suitable music.

For me, any form of art was a way to escape reality and I was grateful for that.

It was always hard for me to let my art pieces go as I got too attached but I was trying to overcome that so I also put up my most meaningful paintings and sculptures.

The past few weeks I have been very aggressive in tennis and archery. I learnt that the more aggressive, the better the results. I mean I wished that arrow or tennis ball were hitting a specific somebody but I was contented.

"You are doing great lately Estrella! What's the secret." That was my archery teacher Beatrix complementing me for the hundredth time that week.

"Let's just say, I have some pent up energy source." I said with a smirk before I shot another arrow that went straight into the bull's eye.

When the exhibition day finally came, I was impressed by my organization.

My designers put me in a huge tulle marron ball gown and silver heals. My hair was tied in a half up half down style with jewels lining up a few strands.

Since it was a big even, there would be paparazzi.

When Lex was done getting ready, we both made our way to the Limo awaiting us outside. All our friends were there well except Liam who was probably with Luna.

After a three minute ride we arrived at the gallery and sure enough, the premises was swarmed with reporters. It was going to be hard to dodge all the questions about my relationship given Liam himself had never talked to me since thanksgiving.

Lex and I walked the red carpet together and luckily there were bodyguards to help us through. I just ignored all the questions thrown at me.

I got into the gallery and was in awe at how beautiful it was. I could not believe that I had organized all this. Hosting an art gallery was definitely on my bucket list.

Soon enough everyone was in and were enjoying the beauty that was the artworks.
The auctioneer did her job and sold the art works to those who wanted them.

"So what medium did you use here?" Asked a curious student referring to one of my artworks.

"I used oil paint with linseed oil as the thinner." I replied with a smile.

"Wow it's really magnifi-"

"Move." He was cut off by a voice behind me and he immediately scurried off. I could definitely guess who it was.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyance in my voice.

"Look I'm really sorr-"
"Oh there you are." Said Luna with an evil smile while interlocking her arms with Liam's.

"I'm out." I stated before walking away.
Did he just try to apologize?

With the gallery over, I was finally able to relax and start revising for my examinations.

The gallery had been a success and all my artworks had been sold.

The girls and I decided to have a spa day. We went to a spa at the Aura and had our nails and hair done. We also had massage and facials.

"Self love is the best love." Said Tinku while sipping her soda.

Definitely.

After spa we got some food and went to watch Silantoi practice track as she was the best track athlete and she had a competition coming up.

Princess Sasha then graced us with her ice skating skills and we finally had a sleepover at Tinku's abode.

One day better from the heartbreak.
