Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 34

Alexandra's POV

"That's it! What the hell happened last night between you and William after he picked you up? I mean you did get in pretty late. And now your not even talking, so what happened?", Kat asked we sat in the dining room eating breakfast before leaving for school.

I shrugged my shoulders, playing with my cereal, "I don't know", I said sighing.

"Come on. Spill", Sophie said.
"I don't know why I did it. But I told him I didn't love him anymore", I said.

The girls around the table gasped, looking at me shockly.

"Are you insane?", Sara asked.
"Maybe", I said.
"Why? I mean that isn't true. Is it?", Sophie asked.

"Of course not. But if didn't officially end things yesterday, it would've been worst", I said.

"So your telling me... after all this time of you guys breaking up, getting back together, the speeches, the arguments, you guys are just done? For good?", Sophie asked.

"Yeah", I said.
"Yeah? That's it. Just yeah", Kat asked.

"He moved on. So did I", I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Oh please.. Kerri and him aren't going to last and neither are you and Liam", Sophie said.

"It doesn't matter anymore, okay. It's over- for good. So no more questions about William and I because there is no more him and I", I say.

"You know— I thought you were crazy for actually going with him when you first got here. But I think— your even crazier that you let him go, when in reality you know deep down inside, he's the best thing that ever happened to you", Sophie said.

"Come on ladies. Don't want to be late", Trudy said telling us it was time to go.

After 2nd period, I was finally at my locker getting my 3rd period books out. Once I closed it, I turned to see William and Kerri holding hands, walking down the hallway.

I swallowed hard, once William and I made eye contact, I slightly smiled, nodding my head, as he walked past me, I rolled my eyes.

Remind me again why I told him I didn't love him anymore? I then turned the corner going to my next period class which William happened to be in.

As the bell rang, I sat down taking my seat in the back as usual.

"Okay, class. Today is a group assignment project, once I call your name pair up with your partner, and wait for instructions", the teacher said.

"Cassie with Tia.... Jake with Miller....Ben with Fuller..... Mariana with Austin.... Kayla with Ryan... and finally William with Alexandra", my teacher said calling out the names of groups.

And of course, I was paired with William.
Which everyone else knew to. I looked up to see William already looking at me.

The class got quiet, once William began walking towards me, he then sat down next to me.

"I guess-were partners", he said awkwardly.
"I guess so", I said.

"Okay; now that.. that is settled let me give you the instructions for this project with be worth 60% of your grade, meaning if you don't do this project to my satisfaction, you will fail. As in fail this class, and last time I checked you needed this class to graduate, correct?", my teacher said.

I rolled my eyes sighing, "correct", I and the rest of the students said in sync with me.

"So this project is basically a simple montage of your partner, and you would be explaining your favorite things about him/her. It would like you would be telling your partners life story, which mean you and your partner would be spending a lot more time together. Consider your partner as your best friend or your girlfriend/boyfriend. This project is due at the end of this week, so I'd suggest you get started with it", my teacher said.

Oh shit.
I rolled my eyes.
"Get to work", my teacher said.

I turned to William who was already looking at me.

"I- should",- we both basically were about to start a sentence but stopped.
"You first", He said.

"I was thinking that if we wanted a good grade we should start after school today. Let's say— at the Steak n Shake we first ate at together, around 6", I said.

"Sounds like a date", he said.
Seconds later his eyes widen opened.

"But its not a date because in order for it to be a date, we'd have to be together, which we are not as of yesterday. I should shut up now", he said making me laugh.

He was so cute when he was nervous.
"So whose the montage gonna be covering, like the story?", I asked.
"You.", he said without hesitation.

"Me? Why me?", I asked.
"Because everyone in here already knows my story, I think they should know yours.", he said.

"you know I hate being on camera", I say.
"I don't know why. Your one of the most beautiful girls I have even seen", he said making me blush.

Was that a flirt?
"I don't know", I said.
"I guess you don't wanna graduate", he said.
"Fine", I said rolling my eyes.

"I'll bring my camera", he said.
"I'll bring— me", I say.

"I forgot to mention- the group with the best montage will be able to watch it at Friday's Prep-Rally. Meaning the student body will see the entire thing, how exciting", my teacher said.

Some how I had a feeling that was gonna be our project.
