The Princess To Be

5th Chapter

F  i  v  e.

Do you know the feeling when you're watching a horror movie, then the ghost suddenly appears?

Shocked, right? Like you're heart's been stabbed in a span of a second. That's what I clearly felt! Everything's becoming stupid.

My heart skipped at beat at what Vincent said. Did he just say Princess Rianne? Oh God. Maybe that's why the...

"You know about that?" Mary turned to Vincent who was behind my seat, wide eyed. I glared at Mary in the meanest way that I could. Don't she ever bring that topic back. Especially in the campus, for god's sake.

I also turned my head to him with my brows together. How could he know? Would this ruin my life for issues that would spread in the campus?

Oh shit. I forgot that it was reported in National TV because of the News! Don't get me started with the front page of every news article I've found.

"Well, I was watching football on TV but when I changed channel, Rianne's name appeared. You know it, don't you, Rianne?" he smirked evilly. He got to stop those tempting smiles.

"Uh, n-no" 

"Don't lie to me. It's obvious all over your face. Come on, what's bad about it? You'll be noticed by everybody here. Rianne. Such a pleasant name, I see." he said with a genuine smile. Are my eyes kidding me right now? His smile's... not arrogant. And it looks real. 

My heart skipped a beat again. It's been years since I've see that smile from him, rather his rude and arrogant ones at the present. I feel the infatuation feeling again... Wait, do I have a crush on him again? 

Hell no! I'm not a kid anymore. I shouldn't have those crushes. 

Focus Rianne. Guys are heart breakers. They'll just hurt you in every process.

"See? You're even spacing out right now. Guilty, huh?" 

"In you're dreams, Hewey. And fine, whatever. I know it and so what? It's just some stupid search and it's clearly not me, you know." I replied, then glanced at Mary. It seems like she's amused at my conversation with the devil.

"Simple things spread out in the campus, McQuillen. Be careful." he warned and I found it quite... true. He, then, faced the professor, ending the conversation. Mary and I exchanged confused looks. What if rumors are already spreading? Gossips gets to everyone here in school just like wild fire.

I remembered the numerous eyes staring at me early this morning. Students especially girls glanced at me with curious eyes. Maybe that's why they're attention were all to me. Because of that dumb news.

I can't somehow blame them. Hierarchy in the country is a very big issue. It's clearly the government. So it really would be a big deal. But again, I'm not the one. I know that, clearly.

I don't know a lot about history and our government. I really don't. It's even my first time to know that under our country, there is a kingdom named Ravensdale. But you know, because of the news, my soul and mind woke up to the real world.

The lesson was taught continuously but I never understood what the prof. said. My mind was roaming around on other topic. An issue that's really bugging me. The long lost princess issue, of course. I don't exactly know how to react to that issue, honestly. 

For me, I'm really far from being the Princess. I'm much far on being a person to run the government. But... this thing really got me curious.

Lunch came, so usually, Mary and I grabbed some food and went directly to our normal table with our other friends. Before we even approach, I already noticed that all of them were talking about something serious. They were focused on what they were talking about and were serious with each other.
