Her Royal Shyness

Ch 23- Movie Marathon

Yssa's POV

"Finally!" Jess squealed in excitement while shaking me.

I just finished telling her about Shaun's confession.

She's here at our apartment because I want to tell the truth about my real identity but the two boys, Nathan and Marco aren't here yet. So I ended up telling first about Shaun's sweet gesture.

And that sure was a mistake, my ears felt damaged because of her high-pitched voice.

Shaun's currently at rehearsals that's why my best friend shamelessly entered his room to inspect for any suspicious items. Yes, she really is a detective.

A sudden knock at the door stopped Jess from checking out his boxers.

I giggled when Jess hurried to put back the boxers in the drawer. Pervert Jess.

I ran to the door and opened it to see Marco holding four boxes of pizza and Nathan with 4 bottles of soda.

I stifled a laugh. "Come in."

"Woah, I miss hanging out in here." Marco exclaimed.

"Me too." Nathan agreed.

"Movie marathon?" Marco showed his bag full of dvds.

"Good idea." I nodded excitedly.

"Where's Jess?" Nathan said while setting the food on the table.

"Shaun's room." I answered.

"What is she doing there?" Marco's eyebrows furrowed.

I shook my head. "Nothing. Just checking out his box...err, room." I smirked.

"So...what is it Yssa?" Marco asked as we finished watching the 3rd movie.

"What's what?" I asked.

"You said that you wanted to tell us something important."

"Oh."

Nathan cleared his throat while throwing me knowing glances.

"Go on." Jess encouraged.

"It's about my past...I am not the person whom I claimed to be."

"Huh?" Jess gave me a confused look.

"Alyssa Renee is not my real name, I'm Althea Brielle."

"Princess Althea Brielle of Emerald." Nathan corrected.

It took several minutes of silence before they reacted.

"I'm sorry for lying, I didn't mean to..."

"No Yssa...I mean Princess Althea, it's cool. I know you've done it for security reasons." Marco said.

I looked at Jess to see that her eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly open.

"You're a princess? But how...and why did Nathan knew about this?"

Nathan grunted before confessing his real identity to our shell-shocked friends.

And then I told them the reason why I ranaway.

It's really nice that they understand us. I honestly thought that they'll be mad at me but turns out that they're happy to know about it and they're proud to be friends with us.

"Thank you for understanding." I sincerely said while giving the three of them a group hug.

gracia's note:

*clears throat*

And we'll never be royals. (royals)

It don't run in our blood.

The kind of lux just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind of buzz.

Let me be your ruler. (ruler)

You can call me Queen G.

And baby I'll rule.

Let me live like fantasy.
