I'm never ever a morning person. Its always a struggle for me waking up early in the morning.

During summers when I stay here at Pelipia, I always feel left out in their conversations during lunch. Its like I haven't been there the whole day.

Everyone here at Pelipia is an early riser. They wake up at 5 and the latest is 6! All ages, no excemption, even the babies, yes, seriously.

Today was not an excemption. Chloe woke me up at around 6:00 for breakfast. They're already dressed and I'm the only one their waiting so I rushed to the bathroom.

The food was as ever amazing. Eventhough there has been a lot of upscale restaurants in the US, I cannot compare anything with their food. I cannot imagine that bacons can be cooked even better!, its extra crispy and not salty, its perfect.

After breakfast, we went on to our room assignments. Since most of the scheduling part is already done. We are also expected to be the monitoring department. I am assigned to check the south wing of the camp.

*Bling*

Finally, an email from mom! I have been trying to reach her since yesterday to ask about the count and countess thing.

and she wrote:

"Hi Honey! Sorry I wasn't able to answer right away. I've been busy in the cafe lately. Did yoir father tell you that he will be on a business trip today till next week?

Anyway, Im sorry honey that you've found it out that way. I've been wanting to tell you but I haven't find the time. I'll fill you up next time. I promise, Love you! Enjoy there!"

Mom

Seriosly? you haven't find time to tell me this? Im 18 years old! Why wasn't she able to find time in that 18 years???

Mom, you seriously owe me big time. I felt so dumb here. Like I didnt even know who my family is.

"Hey!"

I raised my head. Its Prince Louie! Is he talking to me? I looked at my back to make sure.

"I was referring to you Cassey. Sorry for being so improper." He said.

Oh my gosshhh! He knows my name!!! He called me by my name.

"Is everything okay?" he asked looking concerned.

"Uh..." is all I managed to say.

"Its Cassey, right?"

Is he Medusa or more like Meduso? Im turning to stone!!! Had my brain gone damaged? Speak Cassey! Speakkk!

"Yeah" answering like Im not sure of my name.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, Your Highness" I finally got to say.

"Oh! you don't have to call me that way. Just call me Louie."

"Louie"

"That's better" He grinned. " Is the camp bringing you stress?

"Huh? No! I'm having fun here."

"So what's with shooting with daggers look earlier?" His face a little bit scrunched but still handsome.

"Oh! Its my mom"

"What happened? Is everything good?" He asked, concerned.

"Yeah yeah absolutely. Its just that my mom keeps me hanging about the nobility thing."

"Are you serious? You really don't know anything?"

"As dumb as it looks, yeah!"

"Oh! I thought your reaction the last time is because of meeting my mother."

"Partly, but mainly its because I didnt really have any idea about it until that day."

"I don't understand."

"Well, that makes the two of us."

and we laughed.

"So is this your first time here in Pelipia?" he asked.

"No, I've been here almost every summer if I don't have to attend any classes back at home."

"Oh! so that's the reason why I haven't met you yet. We don't usually hold gatherings that time of year. Sooo... you haven't really heard anything about your grandpa?"

"I used to hear them calling him Lord Victor. But, I thought its just some kind of joke cause papai always call them back as lady or lord."

"I see. Well you're grandfather has always been like that. Always funny and cool."

"The main reason that I couldn't believe he is one!"

He laughed. He looks so normal now. Like he was not a prince and just like me. Like this was just a normal girl and boy meeting for the first time. I don't feel any pressure, he's too comfortable to be with.

"Is something in my face? why are you looking at me like that?" he asked.

I was startled!

"huh? none!"

"then...." he raised his eyebrows.

"Its just you look weird today, I mean not physically."

"and what -cally?"

We laughed.

"no one following you around. -cally?" I said teasing.

"Haha, remind me to thank the schedulers! They gave them wonderful schedules this year."

"You can thank me now."

"Oh! So you're one of them! Well, thank you my lady" he said with a curtsy.

I could die noww! He called me "my lady", his lady!! Though, I think he calls everyone like that.

"Its a pleasure, your highness". I was planning to say my prince. But. Nah! nevermind! haha

We laughed and talked while walking around until his phone rang.

"alright mother, Ill be there. Bye!"

"Im sorry Cassey, I have to go now. Its really nice meeting you. See you around camp!" he said.

"Sure, nice meeting you. See you around!"

and he left.
