Continuation-Wednesday

'A pleasure it is to see you, too'.

'How may I help you, Will?' Serris asked, watching how his eyes trailed around her whole room.

'I don't mean to barge in and intrude your privacy, but I was just a little concerned after I got word from the cooks that you ordered a lot of food' Will informed her, hands crossed behind his back.

'Oh, you know how girls are. Always hungry.' Sarah laughed awakwrdly, patting her stomach.

'I understand... anyways, I was wondering if I should take your plates and trays away' Will started, noticing the panic level rise in the two girls' eyes.

'Oh, no thank you. I'll drop them back off myself. A lady should know how to do her chores' Serris denied the offer, waving Will of dismissively.

'A lady should... but she shouldn't have to. Let me. Where are your trays?' Will asked, squinting his eyes to get a better look at the back of her room.

'Uh-we-um... ate in the dining hall. We left them there' Sarah lied, stepping forward for Will to be closer to the exit door.

'I checked there for you guys. I heard that you were eating in your room' Will raised one eyebrow.

'Marcello told you' Serris gasped, writing a mental note to not smile at the new cook tomorrow.

'Nope, you did' Will chuckled, entering the room fully and sitting on her bed.

Okay, so Marcelo still gets smiles.

'Can I help you further?' Serris questioned, hoping that if she awkwardly stared at Will he'd leave.

Will laughed, shaking his head. 'I know your secret'

Inside the wardrobe, Charity, Sean, Kaycee and Andres were currently freaking out, hiding themselves behind a pile of messy clothes much to Kaycee's displeasure.

'Shh' Sean whispered, as Andres fumbled at the back.

'I'm trying' he whispered back, removing more clothes of the rack and covering his body.

'I can't do this. We need to clean this up, right now' Kaycee sighed, pushing the clothes off her body and immediately beginning to fold them and hang them up.

'Kaycee, get back. You'll survive without cleaning up' Charity gasped, pulling her back.

'Secret? We don't have any secrets.I don't have any secrets' Serris said, her throat bobbing up and down.

'Don't worry, I'm not mad' Will smiled, throwing his head back in laughter. Serris and Sarah both looked at each other, their mind a surging complexity.

'There's no reason for you to be mad. We don't have any secrets' Sarah mustered up all the courage left in her body, hoping Will would just drop the subject.

'A princess should never lie' Sean heard Will speak, and he could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

'I-I don't know w-what you're talking about' Serris spoke frantically, siting beside Will.

'Where are they? In your cupboard?' Will chuckled, clapping his hands suddenly and rolling on her bed laughing.

Is he drunk?

'No ones in my cupboard' Serris lied once again, talking a little bit louder so that her brother and his friends could possibly hear and find a decent hiding spot.
