Ysabel and the Beast

Honesty

"Do you have more information about Princess Droll?" I asked Charlotte while were walking towards our classroom.

"Well, Princess and Clarence are in a state of mutual understanding but for some reason, she left South school and went abroad." Charlotte said.

We reached our classroom and seated beside Lance.

"What's up?" he asked with a wide smile.

"So? Are you courting Jirlie?" I asked.

"Nope." He answered. "But I'll make sure that I will."

Good for Lance. Jirlie wasn't able to realize her feelings for Lance because he's always there when she needs him. And when the time when Jirlie thought she's going to lose Lance, she realized that she loved him. But I think she doesn't want to accept that as the truth so she doesn't talk too much to Lance. But the good thing is, she don't bother Clarence anymore. Now, that Jirlie is not on my way, Princess Droll appeared.

"How about you and Clarence?" Lance asked.

"Nothing." I answered.

Lance raised his brow and stared at me.

"Are you thinking about that beauty?" He asked.

"Yep."

"She's a real deal. I hope she won't win over Clarence. She's so pretty and has a soft voice. But Jirlie is my type." Lance said.

"How about me? Can you describe me?"

"Just like what Clarence said, you're flat but your body shape is perfect. You're annoying sometimes but you're honest." He said.

I smiled. "Thanks."

"Just kidding."

-_-

"But if I would be choosing between you and the beauty, I would be choosing you."

I raised my brow. "Why?" I asked.

"Remember the first time I saw you?" He asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"I really meant what I've said. That if ever, would you mind if I court you. Because I was fallen for you the first time I saw you. It felt like so light when you're around."

I think I blushed.

"But I realized that Jirlie was my first love so I better leave you in the hands of that beast. Until that beauty came, she's really pretty and adorable but something is missing from her, something that can only be found from you." He stared at me through my eyes.

My heart was beating so fast. Not because he was staring at me but because of his honesty.

"Good morning class!!"

We were stunned and so we looked in front and saw Mrs. Frot.

"We had just a meeting this morning and guess what?" Mrs. Frot smiled and it was so creepy. "The South school is planning to have a masquerade ball next week!!"

Everyone shouted with joy and even Lance was on it.

"This is great!" Charlotte shouted.

"So Mr. South said that those who want to help organizing the Auditorium for the event would be appreciated." Mrs. Frot said.

Everyone run away from the classroom while shouting.

"Let's go!" Charlotte said and pulled me in my arms.
