A Scandian Tale: Royal? Or Normal?

Chapter 2

I stared them down. No matter what, I'm not going back.

"Even for us?" A voice said.

I turned around and another guy cam through the door. I gasped and pounced/hug him immediately. "Sky!" I shouted, "You're here! I missed you!" He hugged me back, "I miss you too, my rather hard-headed sister." he laughed. 

"Erm, excuse me?" Lauren interrupted "can someone care to explain? I'm pretty sure we all want to know what's going on here." My eyes widen and I sighed. I knew he day would come, I just didn't think it'll be like this. "Erm, This is Sky," I introduced, "He's my eldest brother." "Hello," Sky smiled. "And these are my friends, Logan, Ken, Michael, Ashley, Lauren, and Stella" They said Hi in unison. "Tory? I thought your brother was Henry," Lauren pointed out, "and he definitely was much more of a 10 year old's height."

"Right.." I stammered. I glanced at Sky, and he nodded. I took a deep breath and said, "He is.. But the thing is, I...was adopted. So technically, we're not blood-related." At that, my friends' eyes widen even more. "16 years ago, Scandia, the country Sky is from, was under some sort of attack." I continued, "And in order to protect the helpless me, my biological parents put me in the care of my current foster parents. They restored Scandia to is former glory over the years, and it is now a wealthy and peaceful country. They said they never stopped searching for me, and they finally found me last year." I took a deep breath again.

"So...the truth is... I'm the 5th princess of Scandia." I smiled awkwardly at my friends' gasps.

Ignoring their expressions for the time being, I continued. "I went back with them, and I actually went through princess training and some really weird things, but I wanted to come back. I missed you guys, remember how I went over to japan last year? Yea..well.. that was when I went to Scandia for the first time. Anyways, I came back here. I visit occasionally, but they getting insistent that I stay there and train to become a perfect princess. I can't do that. So I havent been returning for quite a while." I took yet another deep breath before continuing. "Moving on, there's an annual ball coming up and I'm supposed to return, and so these people," I gestured to the men in suits, "who are my bodyguards btw, are supposed to bring me back there."

"Yes, and now I need your help to persuade her." Sky chipped in. I glared at him, but he just smiled and shrugged.

"Wait," Michael said, "so you're a princess? Like royalty princess?" "Erm... yea? Kinda?" I shrugged. My friends threw glances at each other.. and got up. "Thats.." Ken started. "AWESOME!" They all yelled together. I breathe a sigh of relief, they took it better than I thought.
