Not a love story

Chapter 2: Dragons

The time ticked slowly until time stopped. In the middle of the dark woods, there she sat on a stack of rocks, the princess in a long white gown. The Blue moon shined over her and her surroundings including her gown was in the tint of blue. Her fair skin glowed and her pink soft lips shimmered. Her nose and cheeks were in a light pink tint and her eyelashes were long and pretty.

But she looked sad in the middle of the forest alone and lost. Her ears tingled in shock after hearing steps towards her. In front of her stood a prince in a royal blue outfit. He had a gold crown on his head that dazzles and sparkles.

The same Blue moon lit up his face and a strong well-built body in the princely suit. Her sadness was no longer visible after seeing the man in front of her. Her pink-tinted lips stretched creating a small smile. She had a glorious and pretty smile.

He took his hand out for her to take. He smiled in all sincerity and kindness. Her eyes were on his hand. She battled her self, her thoughts whether she should take it or not. Should she take the prince's hand and let him help her up back on her feet? Should she let this man make her lifeless sorrowful frown and turn it into a wondrous and beautiful smile? Could he even make her lips smile once again, from ear to ear or eye to eye?

The prince showed patience into waiting for the princess and by that time she has already decided. She decided to believe and put her trust in this prince. She took her hand out, reaching out for him and took his hand, and felt his soft touch. His smooth and soft yet big palm. She slowly lifted her self with his help by applying pressure on her small hand.

Then he pulled her with great force. She looked into the prince's eyes with a smile on her face. This is it. My prince. My one and only prince. Just when she was on the edge of joy, love, and ecstasy, he lets go of her.

Time started ticking again. The prince's eyes were huge in shock. Quickly, her hand slipped off of his. Suddenly, she felt the absence of his hand. The beautiful princess's long eyelashes closed as she waited for her to fall on the rocky ground but instead she felt strong arms holding onto her. Behind her shoulders and on her right hand. Again, the princess opened her eyes still in shock from the embarrassing scene.

And in front of her, there he was. The guy who had always had her back to catch her whenever she falls. The man of her dreams, the man that could fulfill that hope. He is her knight and shining armor. The tall man, the one and only, Apple Klein. The man who changed before her eyes.

"Apple! What are you doing there?" A man in red Jordan shoes asked while looking behind and towards Apple. "Ugh, um." He was unable to speak for he too did not know why he just caught his ex-friend.

"HEY!" The loud big voice of my best friend was heard. Viv threw the tray of food and ran in such quick speed that made the boys run like cats being chased by a dog. Once she arrived at the scene, the boys were already so far. I gripped on the white sleeves of her uniform.

She paused with concerned and worried eyes on me. "Are you okay? Did they do something to you? Hurt you? tell me!" A small grin appeared on my face after realizing the awkward and embarrassing scene earlier but I shrug it off. "It's nothing."

I tangled my arm with hers pulling her back to the cafeteria. I can't believe I was just in front of the 5 men who rule the school. The Dragon Boys or the name everyone calls them. Known for their fire breathing savage mouths but if I were to name them, I'd call them the 5 spoiled kings.

If only Viv wasn't one of the student council and year-long class president close to each and every rule at school. She already took many students to the principal, some with suspensions and some expelled. That is the only reason why many feared her. I am so lucky to have her as my best friend.
