The next day, had arrived quicker than expected and Arabella once again did not want to get up.


"Arabella sweetheart, it's time to get ready for school." Her Aunt said, shaking her slightly.


"Five more minutes!" Arabella groaned, burying her face into the pillow.


"Don't make me get the bucket, young lady!" Her Aunt warned, though there was a hint of playfulness in her tone. 


And with that being said, Arabella sprung up quickly from her pillow.  All traces of sleep long gone.



"Okay, I'm up!" She replied, hands up in surrender as if she had just gotten caught committing a crime.


"You people really need to stop threatening me with water" Arabella pouted, pushing back the blankets, to get out of bed.



"But where's the fun in that" Her Aunt grins mischievously before exiting the bedroom.



'I swear, I'm the older one in this relationship' Arabella thought, shaking her head.  She then made her way into the bathroom to get ready for school.

After taking a quick shower, Arabella then remembered that she didn't get a chance to call her mom yesterday, so she decided to send her a quick text.

Walking down the stairs, Arabella spots her Aunt chatting with two boys at the dining table.


A small sigh leaves her lips, knowing that she'd have to interact with them as she made her way over to the dining area.


"Arabella, meet Zack and Mason." Her Aunt informs, pointing towards the two teenage boys sitting beside her at the table. "These are you're new bodyguards, they will be attending school with you as your brothers.



"Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you both" Arabella spoke, shyly smiling at the two teens.


The two teenagers arose from their seats to greet the princess. When suddenly the blonde one of the two lunges forward and takes Arabella's hand in his.



"The pleasure is all mine, princess." the blonde smiles, planting a kiss on her hand. "I'm Zack"



"Please excuse him, your highness, he has never met a princess before.  I'm Mason by the way" the brunette says, attempting to pull the blonde away from the princess.

/They seem nice. Perhaps—this won't be a bad idea after all/ Arabella thinks. Her previous skepticism slowly slipping away.

"It's nice to meet you, Zack and Mason. I think we'll be great friends" Arabella smiles, and the two boys return the smile, before they all joined Aunt Lisa at the dining table.


"Now that introductions are out of the way, it's time to head off to school" Aunt Lisa claps, making Arabella groan slightly.



"Are we really doing this?" Arabella questions, trying to see if this was really happening.


Her Aunt gives a nod in response, "Yes, you are darling," She says, standing up, along with the three teenagers and walking to the front door.


"Okay, you guys have fun at school and don't do anything I wouldn't do. Also if anyone asks for your name —it's Madison Hall"

All heads turned in their direction as Arabella and her 'brothers' entered the school building.  
All the boys stared at her, as if she was the last piece of meat available at the dinner table—While all the girls, started twirling their hair and making goo-goo eyes at Zack and Mason.



Meanwhile, Arabella was a ball of nerves, not liking this much attention. She was scared, that someone might see through her disguise. Zack on the hand, seemed strangely happy about their current situation, while Mason remained unbothered.



"Woah, first day of school and we're already so popular" Zack says, laughing at the sudden attention.



Mason shakes his head, smacking his brother upside the head,



"Ouch" Zack says, stopping to glare at his brother. "What the heck did you do that for"



Mason simply shrugs, "I told you to behave, but you don't listen."



Zack rubs his still throbbing head, muttering something about getting revenge, before they continue walking towards the principals office.



"Is that a mirror in your pocket? Cause I can see myself in your pants!" A male says, walking in front of Arabella, blocking their path.  



Arabella's eyes widen, slightly shocked that someone just attempted to flirt with her (and quite terribly) on the first day of school. She's about to reply to the question when suddenly Zack lets out a loud chuckle. 



"Dude, that's your idea of a pick up line." Zack laughs humorlessly, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye. "I've heard better pick up lines from my grandpa"



"Say that again, and I will seriously snap your neck" Mason growled, moving to stand protectively in front of Arabella.  



"He's not kidding dude!" Zack added, pulling out a bag of chips from his bag pack, incase Mason got into a fist fight.


The boy raises his hands in surrender, "S-Sorry, I was only joking, it won't happen again."


"Good, I'm glad we have an understanding" Mason says, patting the boy's shoulder, while the latter just nods before scurrying off.


"Aww, no fight?" Zack asks, with a pout, making Mason roll his eyes and walk away with  Arabella.


"Hey, wait for me!" Zack shouts, running after the two.



'This was going to be a long day.' Arabella thought.
