FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HEART.

CHAPTER THREE

Mike has seen some beautiful girls before but he wasn't sure why the girl standing before him caught his eyes.

She looked straight at him with eyes the same shade of the ocean, and wore what he silently admitted to be a perfect smile, but Mike was still confused at her sudden statement. "How exactly do you mean get along? Why would we need to?"

"You came to see your parents, did you not?" She asked as she walked up to him, her heels echoing off the marble floor of the balcony. "Well, if you did they are having a meeting with my parents."

Mike was even more confused. "Over what exactly?"

  "Business." Annabelle answered as she pulled a strand of hair off his shirt "And probably other things parents talk about."

Mike felt satisfied with that answer. "Okay then, I'm Mi-"

  "Michael Arnold Roland." She completed causing his eyes immediately widened from shock.

  "My middle... but no one knows that..."

She shook the hand he had forgotten that he put out and chuckled at his confusion. "Yes, your mother mentioned how you keep that a secret."

Wills couldn't hold it anymore and he and Kim burst with laughter. "Your name is Arnold?!" He screamed within his short stops for breath and Mike cursed "Don't tell anyone about this."

Annabelle smiled "My middle name is Deer, so you can imagine how much teasing I get during hunting season. But please, call me Anna."

Mike didn't pull his hand back "So now I guess our parents are going to be busy. Are we going to know each other?"

  "Oh certainly." She assured him and pulled him to the railing "Especially with Kim and Wills because Kim was the only one that approached me here."

Kim smiled back "Your dress stood out. I just had a feeling it was White Rose." The name made Mike search his memory until he remembered it clearly.

"Levesique, a royal family of France, owner of the fashion show and design, The White Rose... that's who your parents are."

Anna patted his arm "Wow, you are fast at picking things up.Yes I'm a princess, the one thing little girls always dream of, but I don't like showing off."

Mike scanned her dress. Even if she wasn't Royal anyone would believe that she packed a load of money.

Mike smiled back "Well, great to know."

Wills made eye contact with Mike and with that Mike understood immediately. That was his "we need to talk" look.

Mike smiled at Anna. "Well, I hope you're enjoying your stay here... I have to grab something."

He stepped off the balcony and folded his arms once Wills came to meet him. "Haven't seen that expression in a while, mate. What gives?"

"I don't know anything on her Mike." Wills explained. "She's coming to our school yet I can't find a single record on her... it's kind of weird."

  Mike patted his friend's shoulder. "I know you love to know a little bit about everyone you meet but to be honest I believe this time you'll need a conversation to find stuff out."

Wills nodded in agreement. "Well I'm busy with Kim. You can take care of Anna, right?"

  Mike grinned "I'll be her Knight in shining armor."

"Don't be anything else." Wills warned and followed Kim into the crowd once he noticed her waving at him.

Mike went back to the balcony but when he approached Anna he saw her on her phone with a frown on her face.
