Porcelain

Chapter three: Bella

I sat in the empty classroom for what felt like forever. I looked around to see the other students who's most likely troublemakers looking at me. I can't blame them though, the new transfer student is a Russian princess and got detention in her first day, if father finds out about this he would scold me. But thank God his not in America right now, my guardian or caretaker in New York is one of his friends who's a multi billionaire that lives in the billionaire's row in new York named Beau LaBelle. No it's not pronounced label, it's a French last name that means "the beautiful". His mostly busy with his company but met him once and he was... REALLY handsome, like stunningly! He was a real gentleman that came from old money.

And he was so calm too. My father asked him to take care me and be present for my school stuff like parent teacher conference or when I need a parent to come to school, the penthouse I'm currently living in is actually his. He doesn't come home often and I barely see him, since his too busy with work, and even if he is at home his just locked in his office or bedroom so I don't see him in afternoons, and he wakes up earlier than me so I don't see him in the morning either

So I guess the school is gonna call him instead of father, so thats a relief.

Suddenly, I heard that someone sat beside me, I turned my head and saw that it was that boy from last night.

"how..." He asked in disbelief before he turned to me.

"I guess it's really just a big coincidence that we go to the same school"

"No. Not that. I meant, how did you become royalty? There's a really low chance to get adopted by a Russian king, I never thought there was a chance in the first place. Out of all those orphans, he chose you?"

"Oh, I guess you heard huh? I'm still suprised about that fact, but I wasn't really aware of what's going on when I was 4. I was just happy I got picked"

The young man looked at her like he wanted to ask something, but closed his mouth cause he thought it was too personal to ask.

"Soo... What's your name? I figured you already know mine" Juliet asked

"Romeo, Romeo Hudson" he answered

"Nice to meet you Romeo. My name is Violleta Juliet Vassilieva" the princess grinned cheerfully "but you can call me Vi since it's too long"

Romeo then scanned me head to toe "So how did you get detention?"

"I was showing my shoulders, I didn't know showing my shoulders was against the rules"

"Wow, The princess got detention in her first day? I'm suprised all of the teachers doesn't give you special treatment. How do you feel being treated like us?" He crossed his arms on the desk and laid his head there while his attention is focused on me

"I feel... Okay? I guess. It is fair for everyone so I can't argue with that. Just because I'm royalty doesn't mean I should be treated better like the other students. I guess being treated equally is a good thing since he doesn't see me as a princess, or more like a normal student"

He perked up with interest as he stared at me with curiosity. I wonder what's on his mind.

ROMEO

She isn't what I expected. At first I thought she would be another spoiled brat that leeches on her old man's money, but she was more than that. This is the first time- i mean, second time I met her, and she already made a good impression, and I don't think she was intending that to happen, she's just being herself.

The more I thought of her, the more I'm curious about her. Why did she leave her country? What's her favorite color? Her favorite song? What does she like? What does she hate? So many questions that I want to know, but I have to slowly know her bit by bit until I grow a strong bond with her.
