His Royalty

1

"Adora, you're late for school." Miss Benson eyed me as I stumbled on the stairs huffing.

"I know I know." I mumbled as I walked out of my hostel. I was 20 minutes late for my school and I was sure Mr Andrew's, my maths teacher's, hate for me would brew even more. Without wasting anytime I slung my backpack on my shoulders and ran. Being a scholarship student I didn't wanted to waste my money on taxi and fortunately my school wasn't even that far.

My face became numb as the cold winter air slashed my face mercilessly. My trench coat ,which was my everyday wear, flew like a cape and I knew some people could see my nightwear but I couldn't care much. I was freaking late.

Finally I reached my destination and by then I was already teary eyed due to the wind and my nose would put Rudolph,the reindeer, to shame.
I ran towards the gate and saw Mr Higgins, the gatekeeper, signalling me to come fast. I knew my name would be written on the register of late comers, so I just gave up and  trudged slowly towards him.

"Adora McQueen." I mumbled to the guard before going towards my class.

"Oh, how good to see you Miss McQueen." Mr Andrew hissed as soon as I entered the class making me roll my eyes mentally. Mr Andrew hated me, everyone knew that. But no one but me knew the reason for his  over dramatic  hatred.

"I'm sorry sir, I'll make sure to come to class early as possible." I said playing with my slippers- a slide on particularly.

"Oh wait a minute. Where did I hear that?" Mr Andrew pretended to think, "Ah, you said the same thing to me yesterday, day before yesterday and the day before that."

"Sir, I was early day be-" I was cut off, "Silence! Go to your assigned place and Miss Adora, if you're late again I won't hesitate to cut off your project marks."

He wouldn't even hesitate to choke me to death so project was not a big deal.

"Damn girl, nice pyjamas."  A guy snickered as I slowly passed by the students . I looked at the guy and smiled widely, "Thanks Tom, it's Gucci."

"You're such a drama queen." Olivia sighed eyeing me as I sat down on the world's hardest wood.

"If I'm a drama queen-" I pointed at Mr Andrews, " what is he?"

"A psycho." Drake muttered making him and Olivia release a chortle of laughters. Mr Andrew eyed them but kept quiet because they weren't his favourite student, the one and only, Adora McQueen.

"I'm so damn hungry." I mumbled right before my stomach released a loud growl causing few heads to turn behind. I put my head on the desk to hide my face which almost matched the colour of a tomato. As Mr Andrew started talking about calculus and other nonsense I started to observe my fellow classmates. They were all wearing branded and high end clothing which was completely normal in this school since this school was one of the many things the king of Hesian donated for the public. But unfortunately, the fees was raised to such an extent that only rich could afford studying here.
I think it was 2 years back when I received a full on glam letter from the school which said that I was one of the very few students who got scholarship.
I was mentally not prepared to study as I was intimidated by the rich and I thought they would all be bad. But I was wrong, I met Olivia and Drake, my two best friends and they immediately engulfed me in their arms on my first day here.
I can't say that students never looked down upon me but Olivia and Andrew were always there like a mama and papa bear protecting me like a shield.

"Fucking hell." Drake mumbled behind me as he eyed the entrance, I frowned and did the same.
Ricardo, the king's nephew , entered the class with his smug face and his three friends. His pale face was a god's gift but his attitude was a curse, he was a total arrogant fellow. Ricardo Rodriguez, inspite of being a Royalty, had ink covering his entire body. He had a built body which made him look like a bad boy on loose, his ear stud adding to his image. His eyes moved over everyone in the class and then stopped at me, I rolled my eyes and pretended to be busy. I hated him.

I could feel him coming towards me making me sigh and looking up at him blankly.

"Move." He ordered to Fred who was sitting beside me. Fred stood up quickly after gathering his stuffs  stumbling on his way.
Ricardo sat beside me making me inhale his musky sexy cologne. I looked up at him to see him staring directly at me. I almost melted. Key word almost.
I knew Ricardo like the back of my hand, maybe even better. He was an egoistic jerk who everyone respected including the teachers since his uncle was the king of Hessian and he had royal blood in him.

He wasn't always interested in me. I think it was 2 weeks ago when I brushed him off when he tried to flirt, it definitely bruised his ego. Since then, he's been continuously bugging me subtly and royally.

"Adora." He said as he tried to touch my hair but before he could I leaned back still looking at him. I could feel the eyes of the entire class on Ricardo and me including Mr Andrews. And why wouldn't they? It was first time an average girl turned down a royal.

"Look Ricardo, I don't know what you want from me but I clearly don't want anything to do with you so please leave me alone." I whispered as I did not wanted this matter to be the bomb news in Alexandria High for the whole freaking week. Not when half of the school's population worshipped the royals and hated anything or anyone who said anything against their beloved Ricardo.

Ricardo's eyes twinkled with amusement as he leaned in and whispered," You know what I want Adora. I want you." He smirked as I gaped at him open mouth.

I was about to reply to him when the door opened and entered a boy of our age or older. My eyes fixed on the man, his black raven hair styled messily and his grey eyes were visible from my desk. He looked like he just stepped out of a magazine and I'm not exaggerating, he was the most good looking person I've ever seen in my life. He would put Zac Effron and Taylor Lautner to shame. His tall frame overshadowed each and every person in this class including Ricardo. Speaking about Ricardo, he tensed. I looked at him to see his eyes trained on the stranger who just entered the class. I knew they were connected but I just couldn't join the dots.

The stranger's eyes took over the gaping class and it seemed everybody knew him judging by their stares and open mouths. The stranger's eyes rested on Ricardo and a small but visible smirk appeared on his face. His eyes then moved towards me and I swear, the intensity of his stare was frightening as well as enchanting. Who the hell was he?

I got the answer to my question when Mr Andrews hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Welcome back Your Highness."
