Undercover Princess

Chapter 1

"Wow!"

 I ran my finger along the side of my locker door, putting my other palm onto the inside of locker and looked at the door. "This is where they stick all the pictures, just like in the movies."

 Lilly, the girl standing next to me was pretty scared right now. She was ordered to show me around Belfast High and I have to shadow her for a day. Not quite sure what that might involve, I've never shadowed anyone before but it sounded fun.

"What?" Lily sucked her bubble gum in and chewed a few times before asking me with a puzzled look.

"Nothing- I mean they're very nice, these lockers you have." Okay she looked even more confused now, maybe I should stop.

"K, whatever. You have Chem next right? This way." She pulled on her shoulder bag so I copied and shuffled my backpack.

I know what you're thinking, what the hell am I doing with a backpack. Three days ago I wouldn't be seen dead in anything less than a satin dress designed by the top designers of Mirante, now I'm wearing glasses and have fake freckles stuck on both cheeks. I think it's safe to say I tried blending in a little bit too much. People just give me funny looks now, maybe I should lose a few freckles tomorrow but I'll keep the backpack.

I followed Lily into Chemistry class and set my eyes on a bench nearer the front of the classroom. Since Lily left me and sat behind with her friends I decided I wasn't going to disturb them. I took my notebook out, my newly brought pencil case, calculator and I even brought  a new set of highlighters. Isn't this all very exciting?

Just as I placed them fittingly on the table I heard a bunch of gasps and whispering behind me, I turned my head around to find out. Maybe they were just exciting for the new girl. Lily caught my eyes when she waved her hands at me, so I waved back but she turned her hand 90 degrees and pretended to slide it across her throat as if to say "Don't do it." Don't do what? I mouthed that at her but she didn't reply.

"Hello." The sweetest chimes just rang into my ear; I didn't even need to see his face and I already knew he was hot. I turned around and guess what? He was HOT.

"Riley." He took out one hand to shake mine, but I had different ideas.

"Prin- Pippa." Remembering that I'm not a princess, I still took his hand and nodded like I do with anyone that greeted me back in the palace.

He laughed, and it was the best smile I have ever seen on anyone's face- EVER! Suddenly the entire room went silent, and colder...Riley's hand shot away from mine and the sense of darkness overwhelmed me.
