Brice POV
"So you already knew him?" Anisa asks as she picks out a gown.

"Yup. I met him in the garden. That little sneak knew all along that he was my guard."

"Well if anything he seems cute, but I like mine better." Anisa smiles as I roll my eyes.

"Yea Whatever."

"I cant believe your parents are having a welcoming ball for me!"

"Dont get too excited. They throw balls for everything. I get an A on a test..ball. I loose a tooth..ball. Like seriously its just cause we have the money. I wanna know what it feels like not to have money." I explain and Anisa looks at me like Im crazy.

"Yea ok." She laughs.

"Im gonna go get ready." I sigh getting up and walking into my room.

I pick out a gown and once Im ready there is a knock on my door. I open it to reveal...Khalil in a tux.

"Oh good you're ready." He tries to hold in his laughter.

"What are you laughing at" I snap

"Nothing...grandma."

I huff as I follow him down the long hall to the ballroom. Anisa joins me a few moments later and Khalil tries yet again not to laugh with Rupert.

"This is too good man." Rupert states as I roll my eyes and we walk in.

Everyone claps and I put on a fake smile. The night needs to be over now.

I finish dancing with prince of Egypt and go to get a drink.

"Tired?" Anisa asks

"Yes. This ball has been going on for 3 hours."

"I know. I thought Id love this...but really I hate it...I hate it so much."

I nod, "hey where are our guards?"

"Um I dont know. Lets look for them."

We pick up our dresses and walk through the people as we try to avoid more dancing. We walk towards the back door and get through to the garden.

"Do you hear that?" Anisa whispers.

I listen and hear laughing as a strange smell enters my nose. Walking around the bush I see Rupert and Khalil with cigarettes in hand as they blow out into the air laughing.

"Man this is the fucking life right now." Rupert laughs

"I know right. Did you see the girls outfits earlier?" Khalil asks and they both start laughing again as I curl my fists and stomp out with Anisa following.

"You guys are suppose to be watching us! What do you think you're doing." I cross my arms and the guys look at eachother before laughig again.

"What does it look like. We're smokig here." Rupert states

"Smoking is bad for you." Anisa states

"Oh please. You girls dont know anything. You havent lived till you've smoked. It makes you feel free..normal." Khalil states and I watch him blow some air out.

I walk towards him and he looks at me cautiously.

"C-can I try?" I ask as he looks at Rupert who shrugs.

"Um..ok open your mouth." He orders and I do.

They start laughing," Not like your about to give a blow job...just a little." Khalil states and I blush before doing so.

I watch closely as he takes in the cigarette before blowing some smoke into my mouth.

In a way this felt good and turned me on a bit but then it got less sexy when I started coughing as he patted my back while laughing.

"You aint ready yet baby girl." He states as Rupert takes Anisa's hand and they walk off somewhere.

"Whatever." I state.

Its silent as he continues to smoke.

"Hey..why were you guys laughing at our clothes earlier?" I ask

"Oh that..its not just your clothes..its everything." He chuckles

"W-what do you mean! I think Im fine." I state looking down at myself.

"Well you're far from it. You're hair has the due of the olden days and your clothes look like you came from the renaisance." He laughs

"Im surprised you even know what the renaissance was." I mumble and he stops laughing.

"You know what...forget this. I may not have everything in the world like you but Im smart alright. I had an education so you can fuck off." He snaps walking away while Im left there in shock.

No one has ever used that language with me..and the hurt on his face made me feel real guilty.

I get out of bed and walk to the door in my night gown. I hesitantly open the door to see Khalil standing on the side while he watched the halls.

"Hey." I whisper as he says nothing.

"Look...Im sorry for what I said earlier. I dont think you're stupid at all." I state
He says nothing againand look straight ahead

I sigh and close the door. Once I get in bed I hear something slide under the door. I push the covers off and walk to the door to see a small piece of paper on the floor that said,

-apology accepted. I knew u couldnt resist. B ready by 9am. We r goin on a field trip ;) -
