The Love Games

Official Chapter Two: Prince Draco

I had just gotten out of the shower and dressed in a pair of jeans and a red t-shirt that had "Skater Not Hater" in big, white letters on the front. I was sitting on my bed, headphones on listening to some of my friends's, Memphis, mixes that he download onto my phone. I had my laptop on my lap and was typing a paper for my tutor because I was not aloud to go to a regular school, being a prince and all.

I really would like to go to a real school, but my parents would not allow it. I'm just glad my friends decided to be homeschooled along with me. Luck to our teacher though, she is a maid for my parents but she offered to tutor me after my parents pulled me out of regular school after the fourth grade, not knowing that my friends were going to be joining me. Memphis and Randel were my two best friends and Sklyar and Alex were pretty close to us as well but they are also Royal Guards so they can't hang out a lot.

The five of us were supposed to hang out and work on our papers together but they all had something that came up and had to cancel, so now I am working on my paper alone and hanging out with myself.

An annoyed pounding sounded on my door loud enough for me to hear. It was knocking, and from the sounds of it, they had been knocking for a while. I took off my headphones off and put them around my neck.

"Come in," I called, not looking up from my laptop screen.

The door opened to reveal a some-what annoyed looking maid trying to hide her annoyance. "Your Highness," she said bowing. I hate the bowing, can't they just stop bowing. "You are needed in the throne room."

I nodded and the maid left the room. I saved my paper and paused my music. I pushed myself off of my bed and threw on a pair of converse. I opened the right door to my double doors and headed down to the throne room prepared to talk(well more like fight) with my parents. I navigated my way through the castle to the the throne room, knowing the route by heart.

I fight with my parents a lot seeing as I know the path to the throne room by heart. When I got to the throne room doors, I stopped before opening the door and took a deep breathe. I opened the doors and walked up to my parents who were sitting on their rightful thrones.

My dad, William, is a year older than my mom at the age of forty-five and his crown sat on top of his dirty blonde hair. I inherited my midnight black hair from my mother. My mother's name is Zora and surprisingly, their marriage wasn't exactly an arranged marriage. They actually met on this show called The Love Games and fell in love.

"Ah, son, what took you so long?" my father's rough voice asked way more cheerier than normal. I am guess that the news that they needed to tell me, I am not going to like.

"I was doing homework," I answer.

"Well Draco, we are all very aware of you becoming king in two months, on your seventeenth birthday. We are all so aware that you have not tried to find a wife. We have told you countless of times that in order for you to become king, you have to have a wife."

Before my father continued I threw in, "Please tell me that you have not arranged a marriage for me."

"No, son, we have not."

"Draco, honey, we have signed you up to be the Lover on this summer's season of The Love Games. You were chosen and the twenty-four girls that have been chosen are to arrive at the castle later today," my mother told me.

"You what? How could you?" I shouted. Then it dawned on me. "Wait is that why Memphis, Randel, Skylar and Alex canceled on working on homework today?"

"Yes, son, it is. We order them to not tell you so, you shouldn't be mad at them," my father tells me.

"I'm not mad at my friends, I am mad you two. I can't believe that you didn't consolidate me when you signed me up. I mean did you even think through the idea. We are going to be having twenty-four girls that we do not know living in the castle."
