Chapter 1

Well this is it. My first day at a new school. Oh how joyous!

As I walked through the bland corridor I started to regret the decision I had made. What was I even doing here? This wasn't my world.

All eyes were on me as I tried to find my locker. Everyone wary of me and my position in society, standing as far away from me as the corridor would allow. Their whispers surrounded me and all I wanted to do was shrink back into nothingness. I was used to a lot of attention but this was the kind that I hated.

A lot of the girls were huddled together giving me discreet yet oh so obvious looks of jealousy and disdain. They probably think I'm not worthy of my class, that they are prettier and are far more suited for my position, but if they knew what people like me were forced to do, what duties we had to follow, the looks they gave me would soon turn to relief.

Relief that they would not have to live my life.

Because the life of a princess was not all it was made up to be.

Yes I may have many beautiful ball gowns and closets and closets of shoes but what was the point? Who am I suppose to look nice for? The boy I'm being forced to marry? Who, might I add, has been sent along with me to this school, just so that I have a 'friend' for the first few days of the last year and a half of my school life.

I don't think so.

But it was the only way my parents, the king and queen, would allow me to go to a public school. They saw the extra time me and the prick would spend together as being 'good get to know each other time'.

Lucky me.

But it was the price -the very high price- that I had to pay to get the freedom I wanted.

From the very first day I met my 'future husband', Prince Xavier, he was stuck up and arrogant and it seemed his only purpose on this planet was to annoy the hell out of me at every chance he got.

"Adonnia!!!" Oh great, I sighed, he was coming this way now. Xavier was charging down the hallway towards me. When he reached me he swung me effortlessly onto his shoulder in a fireman's lift, holding my legs tightly so I wouldn't wriggle free.

"Enjoying your first day at public school?" He asked, his voice layered with over enthusiasm.

"Xavier, we've been here for all of two minutes. Now put me down!" I whisper yelled, trying not to draw any more attention than a prince and princess froliking about already had.

"Nope, I was instructed by your parents to make sure you were looked after at this school, so that's what I'm doing." And with that he waltzed of down the corridor with me on his shoulder in the direction of what I presume was my first class.

As we made it down the endlessly long corridor the whispers continued only now they were even louder than before with a few sniggers thrown in as well. I groaned, if this was what it was always going to be like, if I was never really going to fit in then maybe I was better of at private school, where my parents wanted me to be.

I mentally slapped myself. That wasn't what I wanted, my ultimate goal was freedom. Plus it wasn't always going to be like this, was it? Soon I would fit in, right? I suddenly started to feel sick. What if I just made the worst desician possible, damming myself to a senior year as the loser. Being upside down wasn't helping with the nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach either.
