~~~~~~BENJAMIN'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~ At school ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

".............." Hi, I'm Benjamin Clark,  and you are?. "Oh, hello I'm Royal Lorenzo,  nice to meet you." She  said with a smile. " Same here, I replied."

" There were rumors going about that  Royal is an attitude queen so I've decided to check if they were true but  the reply I got from her a minute ago proves that she's not who she's rumored to be."

" She seems reserved and really quiet but definitely not an attitude queen." I said inwardly.

"....... uhm, Royal is the seat next to you occupied?." I asked. " No, it isn't." She replied with a smile again.

" Gosh, her smile makes her look like some sort of Greek goddess." " I am already melting because of her beauty and I stayed glued to the spot." I mumbled underneath my breath.

" Did you say something?." She asked. " No, I said nothing." "......Ben, Benjamin, anything else?." She asked snapping me back to reality and I think she caught me admiring her but she seemed indifferent so I don't  know what she thinks of me."

" I just hope it isn't anything bad." "..... uhm, I would like to ask if I can sit there." I said still embarrassed that she caught me.

"......sure, no problem." She said after a long pause with a smile. " I feel like I'm on top of the moon, I'm so happy that I finally got to talk to her."

" I'm overjoyed  and  I plan on becoming friends with her although I don't know what will be the possible outcome."

~~~~~ ROYAL'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I don't feel comfortable with this guy Benjamin that came to say "Hi"."I feel he's not a good person and I trust my guts because they are never wrong."

" I replied him with a smile nonetheless so he wouldn't see that I was hiding my suspicion."

"It seems he got attracted to my smile because he just stayed glued to the spot he was standing and he couldn't stop blushing."

"I don't trust all that." "I believe that it will soon fade away and he will leave once he gets to know the real me."

" It will be like every other day." " I wonder what is going on in his head because I told him he could sit beside me."

" He shouldn't take my smile as a free pass to get close to me because I wouldn't let him."

" I don't want history to repeat itself." " I have to set things straight because I don't want anything to do with boys at all especially him as I'm suspicious of his true nature."
