The String

Chapter 13: The New Prince

"Louise! Wake up! It's time for school!" I took his blanket and kept pinching his arms.

"Umpht..." Louise groaned.

"Wake up Louise! Wake up!" I shouted at the top of my voice. Louise finally sat up and grabbed my arm.

"Wh-at?" I blushed.

He pulled me in then hugged me tight.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I asked.

"Aw.. Kris.. I don't want to go to school." he said to me trying to act all babyish and cute.

"We can't-- We got a test today and.." I was talking then he covers my mouth.

"Shhh..." he says,

"Umpht....Lo...uis.....eee" I tried to talk but I can't.

Suddenly our parents walked in Louise's room.

"Louise, time for... WHOA!" my mom laughed.

Louise is still hugging me and I'm suffocating, atlast, Louise removed his hand and I can breathe again.

"Louise! I didn't know you're so aggressive!" aunt Caroline giggled.

"Well.. I guess they took their relationship to the next level." dad winked.

"It's not what you think!" I cried out.

What is with Louise!? I'm the one who likes him right? THEN, why is he acting this way!?

"Well, let's leave the children alone." mom smirked.

The only person who didn't give any comment at all was uncle Nicholae.

Thanks uncle, they left the room and closed the door.

I separated Louise's arms and jumped off his bed,

'FREEDOM!' I dashed out of his room and changed into my school uniform.

"Sheesh, what was he thinking?!" I told myself as I tied the ribbon of my uniform, I'm ready to leave for school and so did Louise,

I avoided him for the rest of the 30-minute drive to school.

When we reached the majestic school gates, the crowd doesn't seem to wait for us around the gates anymore. They were busy in the right corner crowding on something.

I'm walking with Louise at the school grounds and both of us are curious on what's going on.

I looked at the surrounding areas then someone hugged me from the back.

"KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS!" a voice behind called out,

I turned around and screamed,

"Who are you!?"

"Hi, I'm Gary." a guy who I don't know approached me and introduced himself happily,

"Oh, new student?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm a transferee here. I'm just a freshman and I've been all over this rustic planet searching for the beauty I am seeing now in front of me." he replied, kissing my hand.

Oh, he's a sweet talker.

He still has the confidence to kiss my hand even if he knows I'm older than him,

What a brave confession,

He's cute but..

My eyes are only set on Louise though.
