The Prince and The Thorn

Chapter 1

Prince~

"Good morning Prince!" Sabay-sabay nilang bati sa akin pagka-baba ko palang sa sasakyan.

"Good morning Ladies." Nakangiting bati ko rin sakanila.

Nothing changed. Everything is still the same. Bati dito Bati doon. It's quite tiring to be honest, pero nasanay na ako. It's my last year sa senior high school. Pagbigyan ko na lang sila. Pag college ko I will make sure that will not stand out. My first impression when I transferred here during 2nd year high school was a big mistake. People misunderstood. I came from England. They asked me about Royalty and stuffs from where I came from. My tongue sorta slipped and told them I have little bit of Royal blood in me. Well that's what my grandfather told me and I was still at the age that I believe anything he says.

After that they believed that I was a "Prince". I tried explaining it to them that they misunderstood me but It was useless. Sabi nila sa akin they don't care if I'm not an actual Prince. They said I look like one and acts like one? How do Prince's act exactly? Away naman nila maniwala sa akin so Hinayaan ko na lang thinking that the Prince thing will just disappear after awhile but who would have thought that hanggang ngayon people in school still calls me Prince. They even barely remember my real name.Even the teachers call's me Prince.

"Kamusta vacation mo?" One of the ladies who greeted me asked while papunta kami sa Senior high building. I do not know her name. I'm always bad with names so I'm gonna call her pigtails since she tied her hair in pigtails.

"It was fine. Spend weeks in England to babysit my Grandparents." I casually answered her.

"Wow! Gusto ko rin pumunta sa England. I'll try convincing my parents to go vaca there next year." The other girl said. I think I know her. Was it Meghan? I think that's her name.

"You should. It's nice there." Sabi ko sakanya.

"Yeaah. Ang gwapo gwapo mo ngayon. Sml." Hmm? Anong connect nito sa sinabi ko. The girls agreed with Meghan and now they started talking about how dreamy I am. They talk as if I'm not walking beside them. I'm just there awkwardly smiling.

"Hi Girls!" Bigla na lang may umakbay sa akin. "Can I steal Your royal highness for a bit?" I rolled my eyes. And this is Mason. My Friend since elementary. We used to be in the same neighborhood. Back and forth kami noon sa England but my parents decided to let me stay here in the Philippines for good and that is how Mason and I reunited.

"Sure, sige mauna na kami. Bye Prince!" I waved them goodbye.

"No ba yan. First day na first day surrounded kana with girls. Hmp. Traidor." Ngumuso siya sa akin.

"Can't help it bro. I'm blessed kasi." Pagmamayabang ko. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.

"Sige sabihin natin blessed ka sa mukha pero di kanaman Blessed dito." Sabay duro niya sa lower part niya. Bastosin. Remind me how did we become friends again.

"Ano kailangan mo sa akin Mason."

He faked gasped " Grabe ka. Tagal natin di nag-kita tapos yan lang sasabihin mo sa akin?" He then wiped his fake tears. " I'm hurt Prince. I'm very much hurt! I thought I was your Princess! But I thought wrong."

"You were never my Princess and I'm not looking for a Princess. " True. I'm not looking for a princess, Kung sabihin mo kasing Princess parang I'm looking for a girl who is exactly the same as me. Like girl version? I'm looking for a girl who's completely the opposite  of me. If I can't find her then a girl as beautiful as a rose will do. High standard na kung high standards. I want my baby to be Beautiful.

"Psh. Ewan ko sayo. Marami kayang nagkaka-gusto sayo." I'm aware. Walang araw hindi ako ma ask kung may girlfriend ako. I dated some girls dito sa school but none of those relationship lasted. They're all the same. They act like I'm a trophy boyfriend. I don't want to be treated like that. I feel like I'm a prize they won.
