Book 1
A teenage boy named Payton Keaton, the Prince is a high school swimmer. In junior high, he had an enemy he competed with, Zackary King the King.
Payton's enemy is now also his new schoolmate, classmate, and teammate, and they slowly become c...
After Zack stopped crying, he insisted on staying outside, not wanting to go back to the room, so I insisted on staying next to him.
"You can go back, I'm going to be fine, you must be tired." He said.
"How funny, I'm not a morning person anyways, I'm the opposite. I can stay up the whole night."
"But you do wake up early in the morning."
"I may not be a morning person, but that doesn't mean I can't wake up early, I'm reluctant, it's my body's clock timer." I whined.
He laughs, "That's cute," his laugh dies down, "my brother said that my mom is in a better place, millions times better," he points at the sky, "up there, and he said that I should talk to her every night to accompany her, so I did."
"What kind of person was your mom?" I asked, which maybe I shouldn't have opened up the wound, I mentally facepalmed myself.
"She was pretty, kind, supportive, she cooked great dishes, she had a soft voice, she told me many beautiful things, I wish I can hear more of her meaningful words."
"She sounds like a great woman, a great mother, trust me, when time comes, you'll see her again, but for now, live the life she wants you to live in, make her happy by keeping yourself happy, okay? Now, smile, let me see that cute smile."
A/N: AWE CUTE!!!🥺😍❤️

Zack: Everyone smile for me! A/N: I know his real name, but ZACK says to smile!!!
Zack smiles then looks up from his feet towards me.
"There's that King's smile."
"Where's the Prince's smile?"
I looked away, trying to change the subject, "Look, that's a big star,"
"Hey, hey, I'm only asking you one thing, why are you objecting to it?"
I sighed, "Fine," then I looked at him, and forced a smile.
"That's not the real smile. I'll find my way to make you smile, how about.... this..." he starts tickling my stomach, and I laughed so hard, I just felt ticklish all over.
"Sto-o-op!" I laughed out, barely able to talk correctly, "I-hahaha-I surr- end- haha-surrender, stop! Please!"
He stops tickling me, "That's better." He smiles ear-to-ear, his pretty, light, brown eyes sparkle with reflection of the stars and the big moon above us.
"If you can make a wish, and it came true, what would it be?" I asked.
"...That's a hard one, I kind of have two actually, one of them is I wish my mom was back which is impossible, the other one? I can't tell you, or it won't come true. So, what about you?"
"I can't tell you either." I backfired.
"Do you want to go in?" He asked.
I nodded, not wanting to deal with the cold anymore.
Do you want a piggyback ride?"
"NO! I'm fine, thanks." I would feel embarrassed if he carries me.
I got up, my wrist was pulled, I was moved towards Zack's back, he held on to my legs, I only held his broad shoulders.
"What?! I said no!" I was squirming around so I could get off, no luck.
"You're really light, you should eat more."
"None of your business with how I eat."
"You're a picky Prince, aren't you?" He snickers.
We headed into the room, I offered him to listen to music through my headphones so that he could sleep easily, at least try, he accepted that offer.
We slept the whole night with the music on.
The next morning(Tuesday)~~~
I woke up with the sun in my eyes, it took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust.
"Good morning," a voice from behind me said, "I got a surprise for you."
I turned around, it was a strawberry smoothie in a glass cup with a straw, fancy much? Not that I don't like it, I love it!
"It's for you." He said, handing me the glass.
"Thank you, but why?"
"I told you, you're too skinny."
"How'd you-"
"I went to the kitchen and ask for a special order." He explained.
I noticed that he's wearing the shirt I got him, I shyly blushed, "You're wearing the shirt."
"Why wouldn't I? It's a gift from you, thank you." I smiled, I'll admit that I may have blushed a little harder from his words.
He exits the room, leaving me alone to drink my smoothie, I checked my phone, it had a message from the mystery Unknown from 30 minutes ago.
