Arranged Life - On Hold

#17 - Prince Charming

" I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs. "

----- Cameron Diaz

Pic above is Bex aka the ballroom dancing teacher. 

"Ok, the dance movement is lady inside, gentlemen outside, lady inside, gentlemen outside!!!!!" Our dancing teacher, Bex, screamed directly at me. I winced a little. I hated it so far. I had 3 hours of ballroom dancing and I've never got one step move right. I groaned on the inside.

This is so dumb and stupid!!!!

I guess dancing is not one of your favourite Kyla said. I sighed.

"Move your right leg first." Tyler whispered.

"I did!" I whispered back. These past few hours I have been tangled up with Tyler and tripped over his and MY OWN legs.

"Let me give you tips; when you dance you focus on what your feet do and you keep a beat in your head!!!!" Bex screamed again, looking right at me.

I looked away and rolled my eyes.

She is not helping at all. All I hear is screaming, screaming, and more screaming. And all I know is that she hates me and she likes screaming.

"Just do what I say and you'll get it." Tyler offered some help. I nodded. The slow music started again.

"A 5, a 6, a 5, 6, 7, 8!!!!" Bex screamed.

"Inside - right foot, outside - left foo -"

I tripped on my own 2 feet.

"Woah!" I said and fall. I squeezed my eyes shut, expecting to land on my face, but instead I landed on Tyler's hard chest.

I groaned.

"Oh my God, Tyler are you all right???" Bex rushed to his side and try to help him up. I rolled my eyes.

Oh, of course she going to help him, first, because he is a royal prince I thought. 

"Well, you're going to be a royalist soon" Kyla said.

Yeah, soon.

I rolled my eyes and try to get up, but I realized that there was a pain in my leg.

"Ouch!" I whispered to myself. Tyler looked over at me.

"Oh, I'm fine, let's just see what's wrong with Bella." Tyler said and looked worried. Bex slowly got up.

"Oh, just a tiny bruise." She said, "It's really nothing -"

"Go get a pack of ice!" Tyler said.

"Are you ok?" Grace asked. I nodded. I stood up leaning on one side.

"Sit here." Jamie said patting a seat by his side.

I sighed and said, "That was a terrible lesson."

Jamie grinned, "Not really."

I looked at him, "HEYY!!! ARE YOU TEASING ME????"

He grinned, "Yeah! Well, catch me if you can!"

"HEY!!! AGAIN, YOU'RE TEASING ME!!! Grace go catch Jamie for me and hit him." I said to Grace. Jamie quickly ran out of the ballroom dancing hall with Grace right behind.

"I don't blame him if he wants to tease your dancing." Tyler said smirking. I frowned.

"AND NOW YOU'RE TEASING ME TOO????" I grabbed a pillow from the seat and threw it at him. He dodged it with a swift slide and grinned.

"Catch me, if you can." Tyler whispered in my ear. I flushed and grabbed another pillow to hit him. Even though I was blushing, I have to admit it was fun, until Bex came in with an ice pack.

She almost threw the ice pack at me. I swear she hates me for no reason. She walked out the room without saying anything. I groaned.

"What's the matter?" Tyler asked.

"She hates me." I sighed.

"No, she doesn't." Tyler said.

"Yes, she does, look at the way she looks at me." I said, "I bet nobody likes me."

"That's not true!!" Tyler said and brought me in his arm. I blushed; I really like this feeling - his warmth near me.

I really wanted stay like this forever, but I ended up clearing my throat.

"Ummm, I uummm, I need to get a bandage." I said awkwardly and got up.

I walked out the door without another word. I went to a supply closet and got a bandage. I taped it on my leg. It looked weird, but who cares.

I was finished and I decided that I want to go out for a walk. I grabbed my coat and headed for the door.

"Wait, Bella." Grace shouted hurrying to catch up with me.

"Hey, Grace." I said.

"Where are you going? I want to go too." She said. I grinned. I looked closer at Grace, she was all red.

"I want to walk into the forest again. And why are you so red??" I asked. We walked out the door and the maiden locked it.

"Ohh," she said quietly, "We kissed." I grinned. I felt good for them.

There was a long silent in the air, "Why do you guys seem so pretty?? So flawless and happy??"

"Us???? What do you mean???"

"I mean, you and Jamie seem like a prefect couple, never seem to argue or get mad at each other. I've been jealous the first time I saw you guys. So close to each other like that was nothing in the world that could separate you two apart." I said. A few leaves were falling from trees all around us. I breathed in the cold, fresh air.

"Jealous???" Grace said, "How?? You have a great guy like Tyler and how can it be?? You guys seem like a prefect couple too."

I snorted a little.

"Prefect??? Nowhere near prefect couple and of course Grace would say it is easy, she was beautiful. Her beautiful and curly orange hair were lose and free and those cute freckles that dotted her nose. And she was free to love whomever she love;, she was never forced to marry someone like I had to.

"What!!!???" She exclaimed, "You do look prefect with Tyler." I looked away. I didn't want to say anything, but I forced it out.

"But we're not going to be together like you guys are." I whispered.

"What?! You have feelings for Tyler? Right??"

I shrugged.

"Well, you can at least pretend to like him and trust me; you're going to like him afterwards." She said.

I shrugged, "I can't do that, my heart just doesn't - I mean, my heart just can't do that for me."

Grace raised her eyebrow, "Force yourself, try and you will like him one day."

I shrugged.

"Come on and he is really sweet, he got you a ring!" Grace said. I thought nobody notice the ring, but Grace did.

"I guess." I said and frowned.

"And it's really beautiful, you're lucky!" She said and picked my hand and examined it.

"WOW! The rocks are big!" She whispered, "You really should be glad you have a guy like him."
