Darling's pov

     Everything felt off now. Ever since my brother, Daring Charming, couldn't wake up his girlfriend, Apple White, from her poisoned sleep. But the even more confusing part was that when Apple stopped breathing and I tried to give her cpr, the second our lips touched she woke up. I mean that was her story right? The evil queen poisoned her into a coma that only true loves kiss could awaken her from. What if I was Apple's knight in shining armor. My mind spiraled with thoughts of what Apple and I could be.

     "Hey Darling,"
I was immediately snapped out of my trance as Rosabella Beauty, my best friend and roommate, slid into the seat across from me. She was one of the kindest people I knew, she was a beasts rights activist. She wore a pretty, yellow dress and had her hair in a half up half down hairstyle. Her brunette hair was striped with red. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. "Whats wrong?" She asked, "you seem conflicted."

     None of my friends knew about my sexuality. It was hard enough hiding my not so princessly activities and me liking girls was just another thing I had to keep hidden. It was difficult going to a mainly heterosexual school, but now knowing that I had woken up Apple from her enchanted sleep with a kiss made me even more conflicted. "Oh you know just stressed for our Princess in Training test." I lied.

     "Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that with all the posters I've been having to make it completely slipped my mind! We'll have to study." Rosabella rambled on. My attention was stolen when the cafeteria doors opened and Apple walked in. She looked breathtaking. Her blonde hair tightly curled and she had on a short red dress. My brother Daring quickly followed after her. Everyone could tell things had been awkward between them since Daring was now aware he wasn't Apples destiny. Apple smiled up at him timidly and he returned an awkward smile and turned away quickly. They sat at their usual table with the rest of the royals. That's when Apple lifted her gaze and our eyes met. She had the most breathtaking blue eyes. I averted my eyes blushing furiously. I looked back at Rosabella to see her looking at Daring, she turned back to me and sighed, "Let's go back to our dorm and study, ok?" I nodded in agreement. As we walked out of the cafeteria I felt Apples gaze burning into me.

       "Alright everyone all the tests are back. If anyone has any questions with the grades they received please come talk to me." The White Queen, the princess in training teacher said.

Shit. I looked down at my test. I had gotten my second D in a row. If I kept going like this I'd end up having to retake the class. I told Rosabella I'd meet up with her after later at dinner and walked over to Mrs. Whites desk. "Hi Mrs White, I wanted to talk to you about my grade." I said.

" I've been waiting for you to come talk to me, I've seen you've been struggling especially with our Damsel in Distress unit." I nearly laughed out loud at the irony of it. I was definitely not a damsel, I had even fought in place of my brother Dexter in his knight training classes, but that was another story. "But luckily one of our top students has agreed to tutor you." She said.

"Ok that's great!" I said, "If you don't mind me asking who will be tutoring me?"

"Apple White, will that be okay?"

I wanted to scream no, tell her I needed to stay as far away from Apple as possible. But instead I said, "Yeah that's fine thank you." What was I supposed to do? I didn't even know if Apple knew about the kiss. I had been avoiding her for a month now, trying to fight off my feelings for her. Well, no more avoiding her now. This is going to be interesting.
