Prince vs. Prince.

"Who will you choose? Me or that guy?" Itsuki asked with his hands inside his pockets, gesturing his head towards Riku who was standing a few meters away from him.

"Can you, at least, be respectful towards your senpai? I'm older than you, Fujiwara." Riku said with authority but Hokuto just rolled his eyes at the two and turned around to leave them.

"Omoishiroi na." Kazuma grinned while watching the whole scenario from the second floor of the building.

"Hoku-chan, are you sure about this? You will choose no one?" Shogo followed Hokuto and he just nodded his head with his brows furrowed once again.

It's been a year since a student named Yoshino Hokuto transferred to Royal High. It is a school in which the students are from wealthy families like politicians, company presidents, school and university owners and more who have a high standing in society. With the help of his best friend, Iwaya Shogo, he got the chance to study there until their graduation.

The students are divided into five groups. The first group is handled by the First Prince, Aoyama Riku. His family has the highest percentage of shares in the school. He knows how to play piano and soccer. He is the captain of the soccer team and he has three friends named Likiya, Sakamoto Zin and Takechi Kaisei.

The second group is handled by the Second Prince, Fujiwara Itsuki. He is also known as the Ice Prince and he has a pet cat named Mars. His family is the second highest and his parents are part of the Board of Directors. He has Kamiya Kenta, Yonamine Rui and Urakawa Shohei as his friends.

The third group is handled by the Third Prince, Kawamura Kazuma. He is known as the Wolf Prince and he is always with Hasegawa Makoto, who is known as the Fashion Prince. He doesn't really care about his family's ranking but all he wants to do is to enjoy his high school life with his childhood best friend. He has Goto Takuma as his friend.

The fourth group is handled by the Twin Princes, Iwaya Shogo and Yamamoto Shogo. They are not really twins but since they are sharing the same first name, students are calling them as twins. The twins are into dancing and probably the most friendly group among all. Shogo is more focused on dancing than Yamasho but they are always synchronized whenever they are on stage. They have Suzuki Takahide and Ata Ryutaro as their friends.

And the last group, it is handled by the Student Council and most likely busy with their studies and extracurricular activities rather than their families' businesses. In short, they don't really care about the Princes of the school and Hokuto is one of them.

The clash of the First and Second Princes happened when the two fell in love with Hokuto. He never found this interesting or funny but for the students who have nothing to do with their lives, they are liking the drama.

"It's not like I wished for this." Hokuto grumbled while stabbing the sliced apple with a fruit knife. Shogo laughed softly at his actions and received a glare from him.

"Don't you like it? You are the 'princess' of Royal High. Riku and Itsuki are always chasing you because you got them head over heels." Shogo said while slicing the chicken fillets into smaller cuts.

"I am not a princess and I will never be. I just want to finish high school with my best friend. Is that so hard to understand?" He whined exasperatedly before shoving the sliced apple inside his mouth and munched it.

"How was the apple? Good?" Shogo asked and he nodded his head. The younger one took a sliced apple from Hokuto's plate and ate it.

"Every food and drink here in the cafeteria is the best." He remarked after swallowing the sliced apple. He was about to eat another slice when Riku and Itsuki came with two different boxes.

Itsuki opened the box he was carrying and they saw truffles which they presumed were from France. Riku opened his box and showed them chocolate eclairs and they also know that those are from France.

"I don't like them." He said and took a chicken fillet from Shogo's plate. Shogo looked at the two and smiled at them, shrugging his shoulders.

The two closed the boxes but gave them to Shogo since Hokuto doesn't like accepting gifts from the two. The two didn't bother Hokuto anymore or else, they will just make him annoyed with them.

"I know you love these." Shogo gave the boxes of truffles and eclairs to him and he pouted a bit while staring at the boxes in his hands.

"I just don't like it when they are giving such extravagant gifts to me. It is making me feel bad. There are lots of people who don't have money and food and yet, they are wasting their money for these kinds of gifts. They are wasting their money for nothing." He heaved a light sigh and placed the boxes down on the table to continue eating.

"Is it really nothing? They have been pursuing you for a year already. Are you sure it is nothing? I'm sure that there is someone who caught your attention." He didn't speak anymore as he knew that Shogo was right.
