Becoming Queen

Chapter 6 // While at Lunch

The world around me didn't seem to exist. I felt like the world was against me. "You're not fit to be queen." I whispered to myself again and closed my eyes to rest it.

*RINGGGGGG*

A mob of students came rushing my way. I got up from the ground and went to class.

I couldn't smile at all. The laughing and smiling was too much. I wasn't having a good day at all. I wanted to slam my head through the table. Malane looked so happy, as a friend I wanted to support her choices.

"No history today!" Ms. Balina shouted as she rushed through the door. "huh?" the whole class said, confused. "Has anyone seen the news recently?" Everyone looked around to see who raised their hands. No one in the room raised their hands, we still stayed clueless. "Does anyone know the small country in Europe called Amelia." Still, no hands were raised.

"Oh! Amelia is a cute name." Katelyn raised her hands as she said it. "Pfft, idiot." I murmured. "What did you say!?" Katelyn turned around angry. "Nothing,"

"That's what I thought," As she turned back around, class went on again.

"As I was saying, Amelia is one of the few countries with monarchy. Their queen has been murdered by an unidentify person and the country is suffering for a new reign." Immediately Ms. Balina caught my attention for once. "Is there a sign up sheet? I would make a great queen." Katelyn blabbered to the rest of the class. "It's not that easy Katelyn, you have to be a descendent of the royal queen." I started to rethink things.

"The queen had one child, but he died in a plane accident. It was rumored to be said that the prince himself had a child." I couldn't take it, my mother lied, my father lied, and most of all, I lied to myself. "That child itself can run that one country."

"What happened to that child," I said, as everyone turned around. "Ah, Miss Rarena, good question."

"I don't know actually."

I felt like my life was a puzzle. I still had missing pieces to discover. "How could you not know?" Katelyn was as clueless as the rest of us. "They could be dead for all we know it." Ms. Balina said, while I chuckled. "What's so funny Miss Rarena?" The whole class turned back around again. "Uh, nothing..." As the day went on, I couldn't stop thinking about Amelia and it's people.

Quarter Til Lunch*

After world history, I couldn't stop thinking about Amelia. My mind was everywhere, I even forgot about Malane. I was clueless of the things that were happening in the classroom. I kept looking out the window thinking about what could happen. I tried doing the math, but it still didn't make sense how I was royal. I wanted to know what went through the four mens head when they saw me. This was stuck in my head like a song I couldn't stop singing. My parents had been hiding the biggest secret of my life. My mind was everywhere and I couldn't just put down the idea of leaving home. It stayed like this for 15 minutes.

Lunch*

I didn't want to get out of my seat. The whole classroom ran out the door once they heard the bell. I walked out the classroom looking a little depress and went to the usual place where Malane and I meet up everyday. It was odd when I didn't see her there, waiting. Amelia was out of my mind and Malane was the top of my worries. I realized that Malane was with Katelyn this morning. This couldn't be good, but I had to trust Malane. She's been there since day one, she wouldn't leave without telling me.

I decided to go to the food court and see if she was waiting for me at our normal table. I looked around and saw her, at our table. I walked closer and frowned when I discovered she wasn't alone. "Katelyn..."I sighed and just went to get lunch. I sat at the table across from them and just ate my house salad. I shoved a plastic fork in my salad and just watched them talk. Malane looked more happier than she is with me. Is it possible I drove her away? She disliked Katelyn just as much as I did. I didn't see why they could be friends of all times. One of Katelyn's friend looked over and pointed to me. I was guilty of staring and so I turned away. I couldn't tell if they just minded their own business or wanted to do something about it. I took a slight peek and notice they were all gone.

"You know, you could take a picture, it will last longer." A familiar voice from behind made me jump. "That's a good idea, should I airdrop it to you?" I turned around with a little sass in my tone. As I turned around, I saw Malane right besides them. She didn't want look at me and faced the other direction. I lost all my self-confidence and just stayed silent. "Do you got a problem with my friend Malane sitting with us?" Her friend... I lost focus and just felt useless to myself. I couldn't defend myself, I felt weak for the first time. "Penny, do it."

Penny took my salad and handed it to Malane. She finally looked at me with a worried face. In her eyes, I could tell she was gonna regret this. I closed my eyes as I felt a chunk of food fall down on my head. "Mal...What did I do to you." She turned away and didn't make a sound. I could tell she felt sorry, but didn't want to say it in front of them. People passed by and just laughed. I took my hand and slid it down my hair. I smelt like ranch and thousand island sauce. I could get the sauce out of my hair and just gave up. I looked down at my shoes and wrapped my arms around my waist. A bunch of napkins appeared in front of my face. A man's hand tried to hand me napkins. I looked up and saw the same guy from yesterday.

"Breyer, right?" I took the napkins out of his hands and wiped my head. He chuckled at me and said, "Can't keep your food out of your head?"

"Yeah," He took a couple of napkins and helped me get the rough spots. "How did this really get in your hair." He stopped smiling and looked at me straight in the eyes. "Why are you here?" He scoffed and went on. "Answering a question with a question, nice move."

"We need to talk."
