[ON HOLD] The Romanov Princess

My Roommate and Him

I was awakened by Vasilisa's voice beside my ear.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" She shrieked.

"Alright! Alright! Alright! I'm up!" I said as I got up and yawned. I looked at Lisa wrapped up in a bathrobe with a towel in her head. I looked at my phone and checked the time. It was six thirty in the morning.

"Why did you wake me up, Lisa?" I asked.

"We are going to Charterhouse today so we could settle in." She said and started putting lotion on her skin.

"What?"

"School is in three days. We have to go there because there are still things we have to do there ourselves." She said.

"Like what?"

"Just take a bath. I'll call room service for breakfast." She said.

I groaned. I got up and went to the bathroom but not before making faces to Vasilisa. I took my time taking a bath and I can hear Lisa telling me to hurry up. I chuckled to myself. Serves you right for waking me up so early.

I got dressed in a pair of black jeans, blue shirt and a black shoes while silently laughing at Lisa's sour face. I put on my disgusting nerd disguise and ate my breakfast.

"Glad the Princess is finished." She said.

I rolled my eyes at her. The bell boy or what ever you call the boys who take your luggage up to your room, took our bags downstairs and to our limo after we ate breakfast.

The drive to the dreaded boarding school was so long I took a nap. I was awakened by Lisa nudging my shoulder.

"We're here."

A woman of twenty's ushered as to the admission's office and inside we were greeted by the head mistress, Mrs. Falcon.

"Good morning, Ladies." She said.

Mrs. Falcon is an old woman with very strict and sharp blue eyes. She has thin lips and a tight smile.

"Charterhouse welcomes Russia's adorable princesses."

"You know the truth?" I asked.

"Yes. Mr. Romanov has called me personally to inform that his granddaughter will be studying in our humble school." She said.

"Hmm. I wonder what my grandfather gave to this school. Is it a new building? Or perhaps he gave you a whole lot of money to accept me here?" I said.

"No wuch thing happened, Miss Romanova. Anyway, let us get down to business. You both will mostly have the same classes but since Ms. Romanov or rather, Ms. Tatiana Kostova here, is a scholar she will be taking some classes for scholars only. Any questions or problems that may occur can be reported to prefects or the faculty and staff. You can use any facility in the premises provided you are authorized. The dormitories will be provided and you will be required to share it with a roommate." She also told us a lot of things but I did not listen anymore.

She gave us a copy of our schedule and a set of keys. Too bad were not roommates of my friend. I pouted as I made my way to my new room.

I opened it with my key and a light pink room with two beds, two dressers and some other things that were twice the quantity. A door, assumed as the bathroom, opened and a girl stepped out wearing a black dress and black boots and a makeup kit in hand.

"Hello." She said.

"Hi."

"You're my new roommate?"

"Yes." I said and stepped inside the room.

"This side is my space while the other one is your place." She said as she pointed at the bed on the left side of the room. I walked over there and found that my bags were already there.

"I'm Haley Williams by the way." She said.

"Tatiana Kostova." I said.

"So are you an illegitimate child?" She asked.

"Excuse me?" I said with my eyes wide.

"You dont know, of course. Stupid of me. This place actually has an heirarchy. Royal bloods and the rich are placed at the top while scholars and even illegitimate children are placed below. So are you illegitimate?"

"No. A scholar actually." I asked.

"I should have known. Nice pigtails by the way." She said and bid goodbye. "I'm off to hit the club."

I wanna go too but I can't since I dont even know the place and I cant afford to get lost. Also, my grandfather wpuld expect that Tatiana Romanov will be hitting off the club at her first dat of school, I would not give my grandfather that satisfaction. I glanced myself at the vanity mirror in my space. Pigtails on my long hair,big glasses, braces on my teeth and thick eyebrows. Disgusting. I laid down on my bed and unexpectedly dozed off.

A knock on the door was what awoke me and I opened it to see Lisa. She stepped inside and started talking about everything to her room and to her amazong roommate.

"How's your roommate by the way?" She asked.

"Okay, if you think that asking me if I were an illegitmate child."

"She asked that?" Lisa replied.

"Yeah. But I think that we can get very well if she knew my true identity. I mean, she goes to clubs! She's my kind of girl!" I said.

Lisa rolled her eyes heavenward and put her hands on her hips.

"You cant tell her the truth. It's an agreement with your grandfather!"

"Relax! Of course, I am not telling her. I'm not that stupid."

She rolled her eyes again and invited me to dinner in the cafeteria. It was a very large room with four pillars at the sides. Huge tables and white metal chairs were spread and the smell of food was enveloping my senses.

We ordered food that I was familiar with and as we walked back to find a table, my eyes saw something familiar. I turned around to see a silver hair not far from me.

It was the guy who called me slut in the club!
