Chapter 13

Fairy Tale Prince in a Modern World

    Vanessa could not believe her luck. Had she known all she had in order to knock Kendal off the top of the popularity chart was kiss Ian, she would have done that a long time ago. Now, all Vanessa had to do to seal the deal was talk to Ian. She knew for a fact, she could make him much happier than Kendal ever did.

      Since time ran out before homeroom, Vanessa was forced to wait until the break after third period. As break began, Vanessa watched Aria meet up with Walter for this free time and let out a sigh. Vanessa was truly sorry that her best friend got dragged in the middle of this mess, but she also felt it wasn’t her fault Walter started acting like a jerk to her after the dance. After all, they did just go to homecoming as friends. In her mind, Vanessa did nothing wrong.

    The moment Vanessa spotted Ian by his locker she rushed up to him and tapped his shoulder. “Hey, Ian. I’ve been looking for you all morning. I was wondering if we could talk?”

    Ian nodded, barely meeting her eyes, saying quietly, “You’re right. We do need talk. Let’s go somewhere more quiet.”

    Vanessa followed him around the corner by the library entrance where they stood alone.

    “Look, Vanessa,” Ian began in a serious tone this time looking directly at her. “What happened at the dance was a mistake. I made a mistake.”

    Vanessa shook her head as she gently touched his arm. “No, I really don’t think you did.” Vanessa paused as she gazed up at him. “Ian, listen to me. What happened that night at the dance would not have happened if part of you did not want to break up with Kendal in the first place. I think soon you will realize you are much happier without her.”

    Ian turned his gaze downward, gloomily and muttered quietly, “I don’t feel happier yet.”

    With her other hand, Vanessa grabbed Ian’s other arm, this time more firmly, forcing him to look at her. “That’s because you have not moved on yet. Look at Kendal. She’s already moved on and she seems happier now.” That is until Edmund does whatever he is planning to do to her, Vanessa thought to herself but did not point this out. “That’s what you need to do, too, Ian. Move on. Until you do that, you’ll just be all miserable and depressed like you are now.”

    Ian nodded, reluctantly agreeing. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right.”

    Vanessa smiled, victorious. “Great! So how about dinner this Friday?”

xXx

    “Edmund,” Aria demanded, finally catching him without Kendal as he walked up to the lunch line, likely getting food for the two of them.

    “Princess Aria.” He grinned, mischievously. “You look as lovely as ever.”

    “Don’t try and flatter me,” Aria gritted through her teeth. “And don’t call me ‘princess’ either. I want to talk to you alone.”

    “As you wish.” Edmund’s smirk did not fade as he followed Aria out of the cafeteria.

    Once they were alone Edmund declared with no sincerity, “I do hope you and your prince charming are living happily together, for my attentions now go to the lovely Lady Kendal.”

    “I can see that,” Aria commented giving him a hard look. “What do you want with her?”

    “Ah, the youthful, vibrate Miss Lewis has caught the eye of my new master.” Edmund grinned even more darkly, which sent chills through Aria’s spine as he continued, “She’s been chosen.”
