when princess meets her knight

chapter 2 - never expected you here

[Courtneys pov]

It was a Sunday, we had a math quiz quiz tomorrow, and I'm not failing. I grab my wallet and take my laptop.

Walking over to the door, I grab my phone and shove it in my pocket. I start to walk to the nearby library.

As I enter the library, I take a deep breath, the smell of books were comforting to me, I take another breath. And walk around. Finding the book I was looking for,

Sitting down at the old wooden desk. I set down my laptop and open the book,

'Page 72'

I take a breath and start reading it, when I find the important parts, I type it out.

Just about a few hours past, I still need to finish this. Suddenly my laptop dies, my heart drops, shit shit shit, please tell me it auto saved...

I see a woman walking around with a laptop, she must have a charger, right?? I didn't bring mine, out of a rush.

I run up to her "can i borrow a charger?! Please! Just for a few minutes!" I practically throw myself at her feet, this sight looked pathetic, but it was my only choice. Though I wasn't on my knees... I still have SOME dignity

"Im sorry, i dont have one." The lady says politely, my heart drops drops again. She walks out of the library and I just stood there... this is awful... im almost 80% sure it didn't save...

I sit back down in my previous chair, accepting defeat. I feel a cold hand on my shoulder, "you done with that book?" I turn around,

Duncan??

Duncan in a library? That's new. "Uh, no... i think theres a few more there" I point at the shelf I got the book from, I saw him carrying a laptop and a charger ! I feel like my prayers have been answered

"Can i borrow your charger?!" I ask eagerly, he shrugs "i dont see why not?" He hands me the charger, and sits down next to me

Omg, if he didn't look like he had fish breath, i could kiss him!

"Thank you!!" I say, plugging it in and charging my laptop.

6 minutes later, it finally turned on. I check the file I was writing...

It was gone !

I was crying in the inside, my hard work was gone...! I had the urge to snap this ass laptop in two, but im to broke for that. So I start typing up an angry rant. Just to release some steam. After 25 minutes, I check the word count.

1838 words... maybe I let out too much steam...

I close the file and start to go back to the page of the book, page 72... I start reading it again, and typing out the important details. Duncan pretended to read, but I could see him scrolling on Instagram. I stare at him a little

I still found it weird he was in a library, actually studying, well... not really, but the effort is there? Kinda.

I think he noticed me staring, because he finally speaks, "why are you staring? I know you like me, but staring? So unlike you princess. though, i dont blame you." He had a small grin.

"Uh, cocky much? I just find it weird your in a library" I roll my eyes. He just Chuckles, going back to reading the book. "You wanna kiss me so bad" I nudge him "nu uh!" I yell I never imagined me yelling such a childish word, but here I am.

"Did you just say 'nu uh'? Thats so childish!" He burst out laughing, the librarian shushed him "jeez, my bad..." Duncan let's out a sigh,

"But again,ndid u actually just say nu uh" He laughs again, this time a bit more silently. I roll my eyes

"Yeah, so? Its not that big of a deal." I roll my eyes again, "you know, my mom use to tell me that if you roll your eyes all the time, it gets stuck like that?"

I Chuckle a little "now whos childish." I give a faint smile, "me? Childish? Nu uh princess" He mocked my 'nu uh' word,

"You're really weird..."  I roll my eyes, he chuckles, his chuckle was so annoying, like finger nails scratching a chalk board.

I try to ignore him, but he's being so incredibly annoying.

He's ranting about how childish my nu uh was, it's not that big of a deal, right? He's just exaggerating. Maybe if I ignore him enough, he'll go away

--☆--

Or maybe not. He's been yapping in my ear for over 30 minutes now, if only I could sew his little mouth closed, should I? I want to, for sure.

"Wait, have you done that, uh... essay thing? Like the 100 word essay" I ask him, there wasn't an essay, I just needed him to do anything but annoy me.

"Huh? No? Whats the essays topic?" I smirked, in the inside of course. "Uh, its about your life, and yk." He opens his laptop, and my favorite thing is back, silence...

He was just typing on and on, I enjoyed the quietness, but I felt a bit bad about making him write a 100 word essay on his life for nothing, but gosh, can you really blame me?

Plus, it's only a 100 words, I could write that in my sleep. Like cmon, it's simple.

After 5 minutes, he turns his laptop to face me

"I know theres no actually an essay." It said, then there was just "stop lying princess" writen over 50 times, the word count was 157. Omg, this man could be the definition of annoying!

--☆--

At school. 7:23 am. [Still courtneys pov]

I enter 1st period, i got a little late but the teacher wasn't here yet, so I suppose it's fine? I sit down on my chair, 4 minutes later, the teacher still isn't here. Even Duncan showed up by now, he sat next to me, which isn't really a good thing.

"Psh, teach still isnt here yet?" Duncan says, kinda getting bored. "I wonder whats taking her so long..." I mumble, he probably heard me as he responded "maybe shes getting laid by the janitor" he snickers, "duncan, ew." I roll my eyes

"But it could be true" he nudges me, I hate how he keeps nudging me!

"Oh please" I roll my eyes again. He just keeps grinning like an idiot

[40 minutes later]

I was telling Duncan, how to write paragraphs correctly. Why? I dunno. I was bored, and the idiot didn't even know what a margin was at his big age.

"I still dont get who tf is margin" He mumbles, I sigh and slap the back of his head "a margin isnt person dingbat."

I roll my eyes, he chuckles "then what is he" he says, " 'it' is the space at the start of a paragraph, get it?" I look at him "did you make a joke?" He asks. I look at him again, a bit more confused

"No? Whyd you assume that?" I ask, he chuckles "because you said 'get it?' Thats what ppl say when they make a joke, and i thought you were supposed to be smart, princess." He chuckled. I just roll my eyes again.
