Iman

"Allons," I heard someone whisper. It was Juliette.

Translation: come on,

I looked at the clock and it was officially break time. I put down the notepad and pen and followed Juliette to the back where other employees were.

"Bonjour Maria," Juliette waved for Maria to come over to where we were sitting.

"So what happened?" Juliette asked.

Maria widened her eyes. "Something happened?" She asked. "I don't even know what's going on?" I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Don't act dumb. We know something's going on." Juliette said rolling her eyes.

"....."

"Iman, you've been smiling the whole day. What happened between you and the Prince?" She asked with maria suddenly getting interested.

I sighed. It was obvious they weren't going to let me go until they were satisfied. "Alright. He asked me to go out with him again." I said cringing as they both squealed.

"Yes yes, I know." I said not surprised by their shocked faces.

"Yep, its official. You two are dating and together." Maria said fanning herself. I'm beginning to believe that, too.

"Do you know what this means?" The blonde asked. "That he likes me?"

"Not only that. He's in love with you. But also, he's about to make his move." She said again.

"I think he's made enough moves. I understand that he has a thing for me." I said not being able to hide my smile. He said that he missed me.

"No no. I mean, this is going to be like what, the third or fourth date? He's going to make his final approach." She said matter of factly.

"Juliette is right. He's going to ask you to be his." Maria said bidding her head.

'Oh poor dear, you must be so nervous." Juliette said, pouting.

I shrugged. "I don't know, I kind of don't mind at all..." I mumbled catching them by surprise.

"Aha! You do love him." Juliette said smiling wide. "Love is such a strong word.." I said.

"Who cares." Juliette said.

"All that matters is that he likes you, and you like him." Maria jumped in.

"True. But anyway, I want to know what else happened during the phone call. Did he say anything else besides asking you out?" Juliette asked.

"He said that he missed me." I smiled as I felt my cheeks burn.

Maria pretended to roll her eyes back. "Woah." Juliette said. "And what did you say?" Maria asked quickly.

" J'ai dis qu'il m'a manqué aussi"

translation: I said that I missed him too.

"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. You are too lucky!" Maria said shaking me by the shoulders.

I chuckled as she let me go.

Justin

Jazmine looked up at me with an annoyed look. "What, brother?" She asked turning the pages of her book.

I smiled. "Is it wrong to admire my little sister?" I asked her.

"Oui" She said averting her eyes from me.

Translation: yes

She then sighed putting away the thin book. "Justin, what do you want?" She asked locking eyes with me.

I smirked. "You assume that I need something."

"That's because you do! Why else would you be joining me by the balcony as I read my book?" She asked crossing her arms.

" Peut-être que je veux vous parler"

Translation: Maybe I want to talk to you

"Okay, dear brother. What is it you wish to speak to me about?" She asked.

I smiled. "Its hard for me to talk to you when you are giving me such a negative vibe."

"You are unbelievable. I'm telling mother." She said rising up in her seat.

I chuckled uncontrollably. "No need. I'm just playing with you." I said gesturing for her to sit back down. She sighed and crossed her legs.

"So you like to wear dresses right?" I asked her.

"I am a princess. Of course I like to wear dresses. What does this have to do with anything?" She asked impatiently.

Well, I wasn't going to tell her I needed help.picking out a dress for Iman.

She then smiled. "Oh I know why. You need help picking out a dress." She said.

"How did you-"

"Well everyone knows you're going to the ball with Victoria." She said like I should know.

"Wait, I'm not going to the ball with her. Who-"

"Wait, so you're not? Then why are you-"

"I said that I'd dance with her. Not take her." I said.

"So why do you need the dress?" She asked confused. "For my date that I'm bringing. It would be lovely if you'd helped me."

"I'm very confused. I heard that you were taking her." She said.

"Who'd you hear this from?" I asked confused as well.

"I hear things around the palace. Oh and, Mother and Victoria. I heard them discussing it."

I sighed. "I'll talk to them. Anyway, will you help me?"

She tilted her head to the side.

"Bien sur"

Translation: of course

"Merci"

Translation: Thank you

I said. This dress is going to be perfect. I'm so happy Iman agreed to this.
