I was with Brandon in the laboratory he was really close to me  somehow observing the machine we were working on but I had something else going on in my mind maybe because of the intimacy but machine was the last thing  that was on in my mind.  I was staring at his beautiful face it almost felt like a crime to look at his angelic man  . I had never felt this sudden urge to kiss someone so bad even though I knew that he was hiding something from me and has this dark past but somehow my heart wanted to leave everything at the moment and kiss this man, Brandon had ocean blue eyes which captivated me every time I looked into them. His brunette hair complemented his eyes and his cool skin tone perfectly its like all the features I like in one man, more I looked at him more I realized that he was my definition of perfect. I was about to kiss him when my alarm started ringing..........

well I am not surprised how this dream ended because I would never have the courage to  make a move on him plus this is definitely not how an heir should behave . Brandon is really giving me a bad time now a days  maybe because I can bet my life on the fact that he is hiding a secret something dark maybe he is passing on the information to the our foe but I am trying my best to occupy him with my project so that he doesn't get time to involve in our secret services .

While I was again brain storming about Brandon the speaker turns on and Mrs. smith requests all the members of royal family to meet in the grand room for a meeting about public representation. Thanks to Queen to be Helena aka Hell , I know it gets on her nerves whenever I call her hell and I enjoy it anyways the Queen to be loves to party and is caught sometimes by the media themselves due to which she is seen everyday on the front page of every newspaper and whenever this happens we have these kind of early morning meeting or sort of drill which I hate because I don't like morning encounters with hell lets just say that she is not a morning person which makes it difficult for me to reach on time to school.

I quickly get ready and reach the grand room where I meet half awake Hell and fresh as autumn breeze Mrs. Smith . She has been an awesome support to me since mom died she never fails to help me and cheer me up. So acknowledging the shortage of time Mrs. Smith thankfully addresses us within ten minutes after that as I was supposed to go she stopped me for a moment,

"I wanted to know if your schedule is free for tomorrow as Your Highness king Nate is out of town it leaves me with you to go to the ball tomorrow it is organized to raise some funds for children hospital will you be able to attend it?" she spoke with a little bit of hope as she knows how  busy my schedule have been after mom's departure.

"well I think I will be  able to take some time off don't worry but I don't think I have time to choose the gown can you do that for me?"

"No problem dear I will tell your maids to keep it in your room tomorrow and also stay away from Helena as after King Nate's departure she is already on her 4th glass of wine god give her some strength"

"Thanks for the heads up I am getting late bye" I give her a hug a leave quickly.

When I open the familiar doors of my St. Thomas high school I am greeted by the heavy chattering and hurriedly moving teenagers as only five minutes were left for the bell to go off signalling us to leave for our first class.

As I reached my locker I see my bestfriend Sydney impatiently  waiting for me  probably with some juicy details of her date night yesterday. She noticed me coming and bombarded me with million of question most of them were about my delayed arrival and also her unattended calls yesterday.

"So what could possibly go  wrong in the palace premises that the princess is half an hour late."

"come on Syd cut the chase Mrs. Smith had called an emergency meeting as always cuz of Hell ,what about you? how was the date? do fill me up with the details during the break."

And my phone starts buzzing as I take it out there were messages by Brandon, As soon as Syd sees his name on the screen she starts with all her lovey dovey stuff again don't know when will she stop it I haven't told her yet about my suspension as she would worry till death and get ill.

"What is Mr. I Need Your Help Ellie saying now?" she started saying in pointy voice

"First of all he is helping me with my project and second of all we have had this conversation before you will not say my nickname out loud!!!!" I said 

"God knows what is this whole project fuss about anyways its your committee , bye will meet you in break." she said in a rush as she jogged towards her class.

So you guys must be wondering what is this project , I am a senior member in the board council of science and space awareness association mainly because I was a co-founder but also a royal representative. I met Brandon there he was also a child prodigy and the amount of credentials he has  is exceptional ,he is a volunteer and is hoping to work full time for the committee. Currently he is working with me on an invention that I have designed .

I wanted to gift it to my father on Christmas I know how much he misses my mother, I have caught him looking and talking to my mother's portrait hung in the great room. I have designed a time machine a modern version of it . Time travel has always fascinated me and I started working on one since the starting of my high school . Brandon  and I share same interests this is why he showed interest and I asked him to help me and  this is how we ended up working together.
