Chapter 3

Zoe

"Connor! Connor! Connor wake the fuck up!" I've been pounding on his door for five minutes at this point, I would have just gone in but he's locked his door. He is so annoying.

"Connor, open the door!"

"What is it?" Finally!

"I've been knocking for five minutes straight, why didn't you open up?"

"I only just got back!"

I thought he was grounded? He probably snuck out to get high or something. Why can't he pull himself together and actually behave like a prince? It's not that hard, all you have to do is have a little dignity and common sense.

"Of course you did. Mum and Dad are going to a Gala tonight so I'm having a couple friends over, can you keep out of our way?"

"What's in it for me?"

"Do you always need something in return? Can't you just do it to help your sister?"

"What ever, fine."

With that he slams his door in my face. I'm just relieved he actually agreed, I don't want Evan to freak out because of him. I can tell he's already nervous about coming here.

Connor

What was that about? She is so full of herself, she thinks she's so much better than me just because she is our parent's little pet. I wonder who she's got coming over? as far as I knew she didn't have any friends who weren't royal or mega rich and non of them would just 'come over'. There would have to be a banquet and string quartet before they would even consider visiting the Palace.

That's why I'm happy I don't try to socialise with those sorts of people. At events I just stand by the food and imagine all the guests being decapitated or set on fire. That actually happened once, the fire part. I was at this garden party for some Duke and Duchess and I reached for a bread roll on the buffet table, accidentally knocking over a candelabra in the process. The whole table cloth lit up like a torch. It was hilarious to watch all the guests panicking, especially Countess Rostova who thought her dress was on fire and jumped into a fountain.

Maybe I'll 'accidentally' walk into Zoe's room while they're here so I can see who they are. I know Zoe will be mad but who really cares, I'll just say I'm high or something.

I lie back onto my onto my four poster bed and stare up at the ceiling. The gold leaf design shimmers in the light from the sun which gradually fades as the sun sets. My room is now the colour of my soul, black.

TooHighToCare:

I put my phone down and head down the hall towards the library. I just finished reading 'The Shining' and need something new.
