Castleside Academy

Chapter Eighteen: Hazel

Well, since Toby's parents hate me, I invite him over to my palace for Spring Break. On our private jet it's just Toby and me. He-he, it’s so fun. We put in a movie to pass the time but barely pay attention to it.

"I love you, and you’re beautiful," Toby tells me, then kisses me. For a long time, too. Like an hour. Seriously, when we looked back up the movie was like half over.

"We're only thirteen! Jeez, no need to chap my lips now," I say slyly.

"Oh, but why not?" Toby says with a sly smile, then kisses me again.

"Dude! Chill out!" I exclaim.

"You’re right, I remember you telling me now. You’re scared to get too serious now," Toby says.

I nod, then kiss him just for kicks.

"Hey! You’re the one telling me to chill out!" Toby exclaims.

"I know, but you’re just so cute when you react to things," I say laughing.

"You’re so silly," Toby says.

We arrive at exactly six o' clock. Toby and I walk off the plane and we go into the palace, a butler following us with our suitcases. As soon as we enter, my mother comes up to me and gives me a hug, "Oh dear, we've missed you so much! We're so glad you and Toby could visit for the spring."

I return the hug, "Thanks, Mom. We're pretty excited too."

"Hello young man. How are you?" my mom asks.

"I'm doing well, thank you..." Toby pauses.

"Just call me Amelia or Ms. Amelia, which ever you prefer," my mother says.

"Ms. Amelia. Thank you for having me. I promise that I tried very hard to have her to my kingdom, my parents just wouldn't oblige," Toby explains.

"Oh, it's perfectly fine. You know since Hazel was actually first born, she will inherit the kingdom. Her brother is exactly two minutes younger than her," My mother says, "Speaking of which, where is Thorne?"

"Oh, he was hiding out in his little 'secret' room. Unfortunately his girlfriend couldn't join us. Actually, I don't think I even know which girl he's with," I answer.

Like I said before, my mom wants our best etiquette. I'm surprised that she didn't scold me for saying thanks instead of thank you. She's probably being lenient since Toby's here.

"Well, Amy will show you to your room, Toby," Mom says.

Amy comes into the parlor and says, "Follow me, your highnesses."

We both stand up and head upstairs to the second floor. We pass my room and go three more doors down.

"I believe you will be comfortable here, Prince Toby," Amy says.

"Thank you, Amy," Toby says.

Amy walks away and leaves us. Toby and I walk into his room. The room is set up like mine. The window on the far wall, etc.

"Well, I'll leave you to unpacking and I'll go do the same," I say.

Toby nods and comes over to me and wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me.

"I love you," he says.

I giggle, "I love you, too."

He lets me go and I walk out of his room and go to mine. I set about to unpacking.

Thirty minutes later, as I'm at the end of unpacking, Amy comes into my room and says, "Dinner is served in five minutes, dress is formal."

"Thank you Amy," I say.
