Crystal's POV
The neighbors were screaming again.
Loud. Like always.
It was 6:03 AM.
I stared at the ceiling, eyes wide open. I hadn't really slept. Not with the walls this thin and the world this noisy.
For a second, I imagined knocking on their door and saying, "Hey, maybe stop traumatizing your kid at sunrise?"
But instead, I just got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen.
If you could call it that.
One slice of bread. A cracked egg. A pan that stuck no matter how much oil I used.
"Deluxe breakfast for one," I mumbled under my breath as I scrambled it together. Gordon Ramsay would be so proud.
I ate fast, quietly, like always. No music. No talking. Just me and the sound of the faucet dripping—one drop at a time.
Uniform, folded. Backpack, checked. Hair, tied.
Everything where it should be. Because if it wasn't... I might fall apart.
I don't talk much at school. I nod. I smile. I blend.
People think I'm weak. Or soft. Or clueless.
Let them.
Someone bumped into me hard at the hallway corner.
They didn't even look up. Just kept walking.
"Watch where you're going, bitch," the guy muttered.
I blinked.
"Oh—I'm so sorry, sir," I said gently, stepping back.
...Sir?
Oh, okay. You bumped into me, insulted me before 8AM, and now you're the victim? Sure, let's play pretend.
Say it again and I swear I'll shove my fist so far up your—
"Have a good day," I added, voice sweet as honey.
I kept walking.
I'm literally one bad day away from snapping. I swear to God.
AUTHOR NOTES
Hey hey 👋
Welcome to my brain dump—I mean, my story oh and sorry if my grammar is not good English isn't my first language 😌
We Are Bound By Fate, Princess is a slow-burn fantasy romance filled with secrets, power, drama, and characters who probably need therapy but won't get it. Especially Crystal. She's sweet... until she's not.
⚠️ Warning: There will be attitude, occasional cussing, emotional damage, and some spicy stuff... but only when our girl is 18+, because we respect age limits and vibes but there will be age gaps😤✨
This is my first story, so I'm just vibing. I'll post when I feel like it—no schedule, no promises, just vibes.
But if you like it, comment! Yell! Threaten me with love! 💌 (Kidding... kind of.)
Thanks for reading, now go fall in love with the chaos 💙
