Teresa pov

***********

"Hey sweetheart. Why are you looking so down?" I shook my head when dad sat beside me. "Its nothing." Dad chuckled. "Well, well. My little princess. What made you so down?" "Liana. She stole my boyfriend." Dad laughed. "That does not have anything to do with me. This is your battle." "Dad!" I glared at him and took a bite of my chicken. "I am your daughter and you are not helping me? What a dolt!"

Dad narrowed his eyes. "That was unkind. Eat your chicken and get ready for school. Mr Dave will be waiting for you outside." I snorted and glared at my dad. Sometimes he was just like a bitch. I finished my breakfast and got ready for school. Mr Dave greeted me when I got into the car. "Well miss, had a fight with you father?" I glared at him. How dare that slave question me? "None of your business, slave. Just get me to school." I could sense his anger but I don't care. Slaves should not question their master.

Everyone smiled at me when I got down from my car. "Girls! Where is my girls?" Five girls ran towards me and took my bag. "Hello Teresa." I smirked when I saw Liana. "I hate Liana for stealing my boyfriend. How I wish I could bash her up." Rita nodded. "Yeah Liana was a nuisance. But Wills said-" I held up my hand. "Secretly bash her. If she tells, I will find a way to get her out of this school."

Liana pov

**********

I saw Wills talking to his friends. "Hi Wills." Wills waved at me. "Come join us for some drinks." I shook my head. "No thank you." Wills said. "Come on. School dosen't start for another half an hour." With a bunch of boys? I thought. "Well, okay..." Wills beamed. "Nice! Let's go!"

I managed to reach my class early and saw Teresa talking with her friends. "Ah that bitchie is here." I rolled my eyes and sat beside a dark haired girl. "Hi! You are that new girl right?" I nodded. "My name is Liana. What is yours?" "Fanny." I winked at her. "Nice name. So, um, do you want to join me for food later?" Fanny nodded. "Sure! Its been awhile since I got friends."

More laughter. Teresa and her gang laughed at us and teased us. Fanny looked like she was about to cry. "Oh that was...not nice." I sneered at Teresa and continued walking. "Just don't bother them." We went back to class after eating. We have History lessons now. We learnt about buildings and mansions. Kings and Queens.

I laid my bag on the ground before meeting up with pegasus. "Pegasus. This whole cursing thing has to be delayed because...its quite hard to...you know um, send this letter to her. Ah I know. Mum told me that Aunt Tina was coming to celebrate my birthday so I can ask her to uncurse you! Can you wait for that day to come? Its arriving soon." Pegasus whined. "Its alright. I will wait." I sighed. "It was tough at school. Teresa and her gang loved to bully me. But luckily Wills saved me." "Well just ignore them. You'll be fine."

I smiled at him. "Yeah. You may be right." "Liana, I haven't got the chance to know you better. Would you tell me about yourself?" I took a deep breath. "Alright. Here goes." After an hour of chatting about myself, I went for archery class. Rinata told me she would stay and watch me learn. Mrs Hutton smiled at me.

"Hello. You must be Liana. How nice to meet you. Here is your bow and arrows. Please promise me to never use it on the streets. I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Alright. May we start our lessons now?"

"Oh yeah. Sure. You have to pull the string really hard. Try pulling it."

I pulled the string and looked at Mrs Hutton for instructions. "Okay, now put the arrow near the string...thats it. Now, shoot!" I released the arrow and it went flying towards the dummy. "Wow, it was right on its chest! Have you learnt archery before?" I shook my head. "No."

"The arrow was right on the dummy's chest! You are so talented. Most people would either missed the target or land on the grass."

"Maybe I am lucky?"

"Mmm-hmm. Try again."

I shot another arrow and it landed on the same spot. Mrs Hutton clapped her hands. "You obviously don't need any practice. You are brilliant!" I smiled. "Um, thank you for the compliments?" "No need to feel shy. Would your friend here want to give it a try?" I stared at Rinata. She inhaled and smiled. "Sure."

We spent the whole afternoon playing archery. Mrs Hutton was happy with our progress (my progress??) She took us for some tea and gave us a few tips about archery. Rinata nodded.

"We should leave now. Good bye, Mrs Hutton. See you in the next lesson." I said.

"Good bye my dearies."

Gran was so happy about my progress in archery. Secretly I thought. How could I be so good in that? I never learn archery before. When I told Gran, she just pursed her lips. "Well, your great grandfather was good in archery. Maybe you inherited his skills?" I shrugged.

"I don't know."

"Mmm, anyway. Your father sent you a letter. It was on your table."

I opened the letter when I reached my room. The letter said,

Dear Liana,

How are you? I hoped that you made plenty of friends at school. Although I did felt angry when your gran told me that you went to school, but anyway it was the best for you. Your birthday was nearing. (But of course not so soon) We already prepared your presents. Aunt Tina will be coming to your birthday party so get ready. (Would be nice if you get to invite some friends)

Love,

King Darren, your father.

I smiled after reading this letter. I was so happy Aunt Tina will be coming. Pegasus could be saved. I told him about the letter and the news. He was happy with the news. "That was great. I hope this spell would be lifted." "Why would they want to curse you?"

"They wanted to overtake my kingdom. Only your aunt is strong enough to break the curse." My eyes widen. "You're...a prince?" Pegasus was silent for a few minutes. "Yes."
