Alex ran down the halls trying to hide from the swarms of reporters that stalked the halls. She eagerly knocked on the door to Jay and Carlos room before letting herself in. Jay was playing a video game while Carlos sat on his bet playing on his laptop, Dude by his side. Both looked up in surprise to see a out of breath Alex leaning back against their door.
"Mind if I hide out in here?" She looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Sure." Jay went back to playing his game.
"Royal life not treating you right?" Carlos joked as Alex laid on the bed next to him.
"The royal life sucks." Alex groaned.
"Yeah all the riches and fame must be torture." Jay joined earning a disapproving look from Alex.
"Yeah, the constant reporters on my tail, planning a cotillion and my wedding to a guy I barely know Is a total walk in the park." Alex couldn't hide the bitterness in her voice.
"Down girl." Carlos put his hand on her back trying to comfort her. She shrugged him off getting up to start pacing.
"For once it would be nice to sleep in, wear something I actually want to wear, go where I want to go, not have to plaster on a smile and sell the princess act. Is it crazy to want one day to just be a normal girl!" Alex was freaking out.
"Alex breath." Jay had come over and had both his hands on her shoulders facing her.
"Uh, oh sorry." She stuttered ashamed of her outburst.
"You okay?" Carlos asked.
"I'm fine." She sat down next to him. "Well apart from these heels, my feet are killing." She tugged off the heels throwing them to the floor. "Hey Dude." Alex scratched the dog on the head as it nuzzled up to her.
She laid on the bed chatting to the boys for over a hour. "Hey, do you think Mal's gunna be okay?" Alex sits up looking at the boys.
"What do you mean?" Jay looked confused.
"She's been under a lot of pressure lately." Alex continued.
"So have you and Ben?" Carlos shrugged.
"But our parents raised us to become kings and queens. Mal is going against everything she knows.
"Speaking of, wasn't you supposed to be at some dinner with Ben and Mal this evening?" Alex's eyes widened at Jays words.
"Shit! No,no,no,no." She shot up grabbing her shoes slipping them on she she stumbled to the door.
"Now is that anyway for a Princess to speak?" Jay mocked.
"Shut up Jay! I'm gunna be so late." She tripped making both boys gasp.
"I'm okay." She got to her feet straightening herself up before darting out the door. "Toddles" she waved shutting the door making both boys chuckle.
