Chapter 3

Chapter 03:

I was taken aback by what he said.

"Y-you're crazy!" I stuttered.

"Please. Give me a chance Munchkin. Please! Please! Please!!" He smiled broadly God! I don't want to give up! I looked away and did the thing I knew I would regret.

I run.

"Vy!" I heard Lily scream.

"Ahhhhhhh," I shouted as I ran

Trouble! That man is just a trouble! That's right! I don't want trouble. I don't want trouble. Yeah.

"Why am I feeling like I'm just convincing myself?" I whispered in disgust, I stopped running and chased the breath sitting on the side of the road. For a moment I heard footsteps. I immediately looked at her and thanked her that it was just Lily.

"Why did you run?" Lily asked to me.

"What should I do if? I yes to him?" She sat down next to me and smiled, "I don't like Luke but he made me feel good before, He's a teenager. You did the right thing Vy. We know that one is a woman and it's not new for him to bully you to get your heart. But I will not decide but you. What is your answer? Yes or no? ”Lily smiled

I gaped at her. I was just shaken when I stood up.

"No! not the answer to his question. I don't like trouble, do I? Then we don’t matter and Cassandra likes him. Shouldn't I be carried away by what happened to me before? So let's go. Mama must be wondering why I'm not here yet, "I pulled her hand.

"Ookaaayyyy,"

***

"Mom!" I call to her.

I immediately went straight to the kitchen and saw her there cooking. She was busy cooking so she didn't notice me.

"Ma!" I call to her.

"There's that princess! Are you hungry? Just wait! I forgot to cook because I forgot what I was doing before, sorry Princess Samara let you mass -----, " She stopped speaking as if she had said something wrong. I frowned at what she called me.

"Mom? When did my name become Samara?" I asked jokingly to her.

I noticed her pallor. Mama can't speak anymore haha. my eyes widened when I saw what she was cooking overflowing.

"Mom! The one you're cooking," she quickly complied and turned off the stove. Shee rubbed her forehead afterwards. I approached her and supported her.

"Mom, are you all right?" I'm worried question to her.

She nodded and smiled again, "S-sorry daughter. I'll just finish this." She said to me.

"Don't, Ma. I forgot to tell you that Lily's Mama invited us to their house. They were expecting us there," I said to her.

"My daughter..."

"If we don't go, Lily's mother will definitely be upset with us, so let's go. Let's just wait for Papa, "

I took the casserole off the stove and put it in the sink before I let her get dressed. when I got to the bedroom I put my bag on the bed and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower because I was getting sticky.

Princess Samara?

The name sounds familiar. Where did I hear that? Then why did Mama call me Samara? Just weird. That woman seems to have something to do with me. Right! Did they really say that they were hiding something from me and I feel that.

What is that?

I got dressed and went out of the bathroom. I went to my study table and took out all my assignments there. I was in the middle of answering as I stared at my laptop.

Maybe Google knows her?

there is nothing wrong with trying. I quickly put the laptop in front of me and typed in the name Samara but since I wasn't looking for a specific person, many came out. I sighed and leaned back in the chair frowning.

"Why am I doing this? maybe Lily is right. I'm going crazy. Mama just got the name wrong..."

My eyes widened I could get a clue. Sure? Maybe I’m not really crazy. Or maybe I just got worse. I shrugged and typed princess samara in the search box. I wait for it but there is a knock on my door which causes me to lose focus.

"Your Dad is here and Princess is ready. Come on. Are you ready?" Mom asked to me.

"Yes. I'm going out," I closed the laptop without looking at what was written there and left the room.

"Let's go,"

***

"It's good that you arrived! I've been waiting for this day to come so that you two can catch up. It's been a long time," Lily's mother said. It's aunt Liana.

"Ahm yes! It's been a long time, I'm sorry Liana. hands on because I'm with our Princess and my husband, " Mama said to Aunt Liana.

"Nothing, I understand Lady Mylene," there was a strange twinkle in Aunt Liana's eyes.

Mama was forced to smile at her which made me wonder.

"My husband wasn't here. He's out of town for business, anyways, I hope you don't mind. Let's go and eat, " Aunt Liana kindly invited us.

"She's in her room, I don't know, just go to her room." Aunt Liana said to me.

"All right,"

I turned off the road and went up to the second floor of the house. I knew where Lily's room was so I didn't have a hard time. I knocked three times before I heard her voice from inside.

"Are you busy?" I asked while peeking.

"Yes before but it's over now. Come in, I'll take a shower before coming down. You're here first," Lily said she stood up and hurried into the bathroom. I sat on her bed and felt the softness of her bed. The softness was like my bed.

I lay there and closed my eyes as I felt tired. I just woke up when someone shook my shoulder. I was caught in my head as I got up from lying down. My head hurts.

"Why did you sleep? Your head will really hurt. Let's see if they've been looking for us for a while," Lily said.

She came out first while I was fixing myself. when I made sure I didn't have a headache due to the sudden awakening I also went out. I frowned when I saw her standing outside the kitchen as if someone was listening. What does it do?

"Lil ---,"

"Shhh! They're talking about something," Lily said to me.

"Are you gossiping? That's wrong! you shouldn't listen to someone's talk, " I warned to her.

"Yes I know and you know I'm not like that, but because I feel you're right that they're hiding something from you, I can do it," her voice was tinged with sarcasm.

My lips quivered at what she said, "W-what did you hear?"

"They're talking about a Prince sitting on the throne and his future wife..." Lilly said.

What she was going to say was cut short when Aunt Liana suddenly appeared on the side with a wide smile.

The two of us stiffened in our stance. Did she catch us?

"What are you two doing here? We've been waiting for you girls for a while," Aunt Liana said to us.

I sneezed and smiled, "We're going in too. Lily and I were just talking so we stopped here," I lied.

She nodded and went into the kitchen. we followed her and sat in our respective seats. I smiled at Mom and Dad who smiled fondly at me.

"So ... shall we start?"

***

I couldn't be bothered when we got home. I was not able to talk to and ask Lily because Mama pulled me away immediately. it was obvious to her that she was estranged from Aunt Liana so she hurried home. I tried to call Lily but she didn’t answer.

"Prince? Throne? Did they have anything to do with Mama there?"

I'm going crazy. I know what I'm doing is pure madness and there is no destination but I can't stop until I get the answer to my question. Whether they are hiding something from me or not. It's not a big deal like I said but...

"Hays. Maybe I'm just lacking in sleep," I whispered

I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep when my cellphone message alert rang. I quickly picked it up and read it.

(Lily: About earlier. I don't think that has anything to do with you because I asked Mom about that she said that about a Prince she saw in a news recently. They're just talking about a news, Vy. Nothing more nothing less so go to sleep now because I know that's what you're thinking right now. Stop thinking about things like this because you just look like a fool. Vy? they're not hiding anything from you. Okay? Goodnight)

I was blown away by the wind and kicked myself. I see that? It doesn't make sense. The curiosity I feel is enough. even my parents doubted that it was because of Mama simply calling me Samara and avoiding what they were talking about in Papa's kitchen. It may be personal and about them so they don't want to talk.

"Urgh! Why did I just think of that? I'm really upset, " I whispered to myself before closing my eyes and falling asleep.

***

"Is that okay? Did you sleep last night?" Lily immediately asked when we meet.

"Yes. I also realized last night that I just look crazy. You're right. It doesn't make sense," I told her with a frown.

"I told youstop thinking like that and focus on your project your Prof gave you, "Lily said to me.

"Of course. I remember that. I'm still annoyed about that. If I'm just like you with a partner I won't allow you to have a member and I'll be alone," I replied even more.

She laughed, "It's so happy to be with someone. Then you'll have a hard time if you're alone," Lily answer.

"They don't follow and they don't do anything,"

"Make them obey. Giving orders is a piece of cake when it comes to you. Give them tasks. Maybe you forget.you were the leader of the scouts then, ”Lily said.

I smiled, “Sometimes I forget what I can do,” I shuddered

I stopped walking when a large tarpaulin hung outside my room. I felt sorry for what was written there.

'MISS ELVIRA' Vy 'ASHTON. CAN YOU TRUST ME AND LET ME COURT YOU? '

"Uh-oh," Lily said.

"Please Vy? Can you give me a chance?"

I turned to Luke who was on the side and holding a boquet of red roses. His handsome face begged me as he approached.

"W-what are you.... doing?" O asked in a whisper.

"I'm trying my best to show you how much I want you to be my girl, Vy. I'm willing to change and dropped my tittle as the playboy of this campus just to be with you. I'm hard to trust but please give me a chance to show you that I can be trusted and I really like you. So ... Will you accept my offer munchkin? " He smiled broadly again, I felt a thrill at what he said to me and he seemed to want to answer right now but I restrained myself.

"You're just ruining me Luke," I softly answer to him.

"No. I'm not Vy. I fixed everything if you're doubting bout all of my ex-girlfriends to comeback. they're over and I won't let them hurt you, "Luke said to me.

I looked at Lily with a miserly smile on my lips.

"Like I said yesterday. It's always your choice Vy," Lily

Is that right? I'm still confused even though I'm fascinated by what she told me. I need to think carefully before I can answer his question to me.

"Sorry Luke b-but ....,"

"No. Just please say yes and let me know you munchkin. Not because I'm asking to court you does means I'll be your boyfriend automatically in the end. It's about knowing me..let's have a deal, Vy. Let me who you and show you that I'm serious, but it's up to you to decide what your answer will be as long as you just let me," Luke said.

I just shook my head and nodded at him, "All right," he jumped for joy and hugged me.

I stiffened in my stance while still hugging me tightly. My calm heart felt nervous when I saw Cassandra staring sharply at me.

I'm really dead meat later...

I bit my lip and he removed his grip on me.

"C-can you not do that lightly? It's embarrassing," I stuttered.

"I won't promise munchkin, you're too soft for me not to hug you over and over again." He gave me his panty -shed smile.

I bit my lip and looked away. Cassandra was no longer there which made me even more nervous. What am I doing?

"I'll be first Vy. My class is coming up, see you on launch." Lily smiled sparingly at me.

"You look bothered munchkin. Is it about Cassandra?"

I looked at Luke who was smirking and just stared at me. There was still a smile on his face.

"Can you blame me? Cassandra wants you and she's ready to hurt peoples just to get you. I promised not to steal you but I gave you a chance to court me. What do you think? I won’t worry for myself? Why would you suddenly say that you're going to date me? "

He smiled even more.
