The Cruel Princess and Modest Prince

Amber Watanabe

Forrest's perspective

By now, my clothes are nice and clean, so I go to the glass room and hang it up on the clothes lines. Once I get in, and cover myself up with a towel, I hear footsteps fast approaching. "Onii-sama!" I turn around, and see my younger sister, Amber. "Evening, Amber. How are you tonight?" I greeted her. "I'm fine. How was school today?" She asked me back. "Just wonderful. I even made two new friends." I told her. "Really?! As expected of my onii-sama." She said happily. "I didn't really do anything." I corrected. "Are they nice?" Amber asked. "Yes, quite so. I'd love to introduce you to them sometime." I say. "Really?! You don't have to do that..." She said. "It's okay. How are you liking school so far?" I asked her. "I absolutely love it. I've made a ton of friends myself." She said, flipping her hair. "I see. Well, it's getting late, so we should go to sleep." I say, and start to walk away. "Wait, Onii-sama!" Amber called, but I had already closed the door to my room. I'm not sure why, but Amber always smells strange every time we talk. But I could never put my finger on it. No, that's not possible. Not my cute little sister. I yawn, and hold my hand up to my mouth to cover it. I step into my wardrobe and look at what outfit I could wear tomorrow. I look over and see a blue poncho with white frills, and decided to wear that, since my favorite pink one was still drying. I nod my head, and walk to my balcony. I look up at the sky, and stare at the stars for a bit. "I wonder if I'll ever be as free as the stars some day." I say to myself, and go to sleep.

Amber's perspective

The next morning, Onii-sama left for school early, like he usually does. I wonder why. If he waited for me, we could walk to school together like normal siblings. I have no idea how he can wake up so early and leave like that. Well, whatever. He can't be that far. I look over to the clock and see that it's almost time that school starts. I spit out my drink, and grab whatever is left of my toast and run out the door. "I'm late. I'm late. I'm so late!" I groan, and stuff the toast in my mouth. Now I see why onii-sama leaves for school so early. Second day and I'm already running late. Just lovely. Just as the bell rings, I run through the closing school gates and dash to my class. Once inside, my friend greets me. "Hey Amber. You just barely made it." She said. "I-huff-know that." I puff out. Alexa, my closest friend, has been with me since childhood. Some could say she's part of the family. I walk over to my desk and sit down, preparing for class.

"Did you see Watanabe today? She had toast in her mouth! Talk about a weeb." I overheard some male students talking about me. Yeah, I had toast in my mouth, but that doesn't make me an weeaboo, or an otaku. I don't even watch anime. I walk up to the males and smile at them. "Did someone say my name?" I asked. "Eep!" This scared them, and I stood there, smiling evilly. "W-W-Watanabe! Hey! How are you?" They asked as if they didn't say anything. "Just fine. But I'm sad to hear that you think that way about me. You know what family I come from, right...?" I asked them. "Y-Yes." They said. "You know what that means?" I asked further. "W-What?" They respond. "That means, I can buy you boys, three times, no, five times over. How would you all like to be my man slaves?" I tell them. "If no, then I'd better not hear you say those things...EVER AGAIN!!" I say. "Y-Yes'm!" They all say and run away. "You showed them. Huh, Amber?" Alexa said. "I hate people like that. They think they're all that in a bag of chips, when in reality, they have nothing to prove their power. It's so annoying." I say, and walk away to the upper floors. I walk into class 3-A and look around for Onii-sama, but couldn't find him. "Can I help you?" A short male asked. "Is Forrest Watanabe here?" I asked him. "Forrest? I think he went with Makabe to the gym storage out back." He told me. "Okay. Thank you." I said, and bowed. "Why are you looking for him, anyway?" He asked. "He's my onii-sama." I said simply, and walked away with that.
