I might keep switching to Zanders POV every once and a while, so sorry if this irritates you. Also I usually check for errors, but sorry if there still is some. Oh and I know it doesn't make sense as to why another countries prince came to America, but I am hoping to explain that later on. - K
His room is directly across from mine. For the past week he has avoided me, why wouldn't he. I basically stole something precious of his, that being his fault or not I understand why he would hate me for it. My mind is filled with thoughts of this guy, what was his name.....um oh that's right Jim. Jim is a prince and all, but he still should understand the rule of finders keepers.
***
Today Jim starts school with me, since his tutor couldn't come to America. Something about the tutor not being able move his family to a foreign country, or leave them behind. Even though Jim has a scowl on his face, his eyes told me that he secretly longed to do this, though I cannot imagine why. School is a horrible place with grade A b*tches and hardcore *ssholes. Well whatever it is only his funeral. Unless of course he lands at the popular table, which might I add wouldn't be that shocking.
"What if they recognise me?" Jim asked clearly stressed. "Jim you'll be fine, my dad has conceled your identity." I held a pack of stickers, and was sticking them to the back of his shirt without his knowledge until he whipped around. "Did you just call me Jim?" He then took notice in the sticker mosaic. "What are you doing?" I couldn't decide which question to answer so I said "Yes, and I wanted to stick my stickers somewhere so I did, that place just happened to be the back of your shirt."
He smirked and took off his shirt, then peeled a red strawberry scented sticker off of the back of it. Jim placed in on my forehead while saying in a smooth voice "my name is Zander." Just what was he trying to do. J..Zander remained there for a couple of seconds still shirtless, until finally he said "Clara are you okay, your drooling," In a sarcastic voice. I reached my hand out and touched his belly. "Whoa you have abs." I said totally ruining what could have been a mood. This apparently caused him to go from smiling smugly, to an irritated frown. Then he looked at my hands that were still feeling his abs. For some odd reason his face was profusely red.
Zanders P.O.V
"Why is your face so red Zander?" She asked me clearily not understanding the situation at all. What I tried to do was make her fall for me even if it was a little, so then she would be a bit more under control. Clara's hands withdrew from my body as she lifted her small hand up to my forehead "no signs of a fever, will you be okay for school today?" I nodded then I went up the stairs to retrieve a new shirt, when the cat suddenly popped out of no where. Almost tripping I grab onto a nearby door handle for support. As the cat leaves, I see that I opened a room door accidentally. The room is filled with pictures, a queen sized bed, a dresser, and more pictures.
As I walked over to one of the portraits, I saw that in it was a woman in her late twenties, and a little girl. They both had light brown hair, but their eyes were different. The older woman had plain brown eyes, while the little girl had bluish gray eyes. They kind of reminded me of.....Wait was Clara the little girl in all of these pictures? If so then this woman must be her mother. Didn't she say that she didn't have a mother? Maybe I shouldn't be in here, I mean it would look suspicious if Clara saw me in here. Just when I was leaving I saw her.
Clara's P.O.V
I went up the stairs to see what was taking him so long, when I saw him. He was in that room. Why was he in there, he shouldn't be in there. When he headed through the door he finally took notice that I was standing there..
"Why were you in there?" I asked with a steady voice.
"Well there was this cat..."
"Cat?"
"Yeah there was this cat, that tripped me, and I tried to catch myself with the door handle. I swear I'm not lying." I opened my mouth to speak, but then he said "I swear I wasn't snooping...." This time I cut him off "I believe you." My voice convinced him that I wasn't lying. "Really?" He added, then I nodded.

One of the maids made Zander and I take a car to school, where we arrived twenty minutes early. I showed zander to the main office to recieve his schedule, only to find out that it was identical to mine curtisy of Raymond Bonavich.
As we both walked down the hallway I noticed that everyone we came across started gawking at us. Well more like they were gawking at Zander. At last we arrived at the AP statistics class. The moment Zander walked in everyone's jaw dropped. Even the teacher Mrs. Anderson was openly gaping at him. I walked over and took the seat closest to the window, then surprisingly Zander took the seat next to me. Mrs. Anderson finally recovered and introduced Zander to the class. Then she began the lesson. Zander wasn't taking notes, neither was I, but I wasn't sure if he understood all of this. I took out my phone and texted him.
Me: Do you understand what the teacher is saying, or do you have no clue?
Zander: Of course I understand, I am a prince so it shouldn't be surprising that have at least a colledge level of intelligence. Wait how did you even get my number in the first place?
Me: Did you forget that I am a highly skilled army general? It is always better to highly overestimate than mildly underestimate my young soldier.
Zander: I have no idea what you are talking about, but even if I had the slightest idea I still wouldn't care.
Me: An uncaring prince? I just highly doubt that you'll be favored by your public if you cannot care, even if it is for something as simple as a text message.
Zander: What would you know about my countries people, when you can't even make one friend in a small town.
I put my phone in my pocket just as the teacher looked in my direction. I know I can't make a friend, even with what was said being true it still hurts. For some reason it was really freaking cold. Then I looked up to see the culprit. There was an air vent directly above me blowing down the most intensly icy air.
As the rest of the day went on I only was getting colder, and colder. The worse part of it all was that it was starting to drizzle outside. The chilled outside air was staring to creep into the school building. Looking out the halls window seeing the trees blowing in the wind. When I turned around to start walking down the hallway, I saw some girls were approaching me. Two of the three had brown hair that obviously was dyed, while the other had blonde hair. "So we heard that you and the new guy had some sort of thing," blondie said.
"I don't understand what you mean." I said truthfully.
"Don't play dumb, we know that you have all your classes with him."
"How would you know that?"
"It doesn't matter, look you see I already called dibs. That means you little miss pay the school for my grades, can just leave him be." Um, did I miss something? Since when did I develope a one sided crush on Zander? It took the little clique of girls by surprise when I burst out in laughter. What I couldn't help it, me crushing on that always serious prince puh-leaze. Wait, maybe this was a distraction. Maybe these girls were from the underground ninja league, and they were trying to get information on there next target Prince Zander Lawson something blah blah. Oh no I must warn the prince.
One of the girls tried to slap me, but I stepped back so she didn't completely connect with my face."YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE YOU MURDEROUS NINJAS" I screeched as I started dashing down the hallway. Where was Zander, did they take him already? The other students looked at me frivolously as I ran down the hallways. Finally I located the target he was at his locker Just as he shut his locker I jumped on his back and said "thank god your okay, I thought the ninjas had kidnapped you."
Zanders P.O.V
Throughout the entire day everyone has been staring at me. To make everything worse I had texted Clara something horrible, I crossed the line. I though she was angry at me until she jumped on my back like a little kid does for a piggy back ride. She was muttering something about the underground ninja league when she jumped back onto the ground. I turned around startled when I saw her. Clara's face was bleeding. I put my hands up to her jaw tilting her head so that I could get a better look. "What happened?" I asked but the amount of concern I had in my voice shocked me a bit. "I had a run in with the enemy. They caught me a bit off guard disguising as students, but this thing on my face," she said pointing to the mark "was created while one of them tried to smack me, but her finger nails grazed my face instead." Did she say her ?
"Who did this to you?" I asked even more concerned.
"One of the people that don't like me much or the secret league of underground ninja's." She said in a sure voice.
"Does this happen often?" She nodded then added "don't worry, now I have a soldier on my side." Clara said happily. Why was she happy, no one would be in this situation. I want to pull her into a hug, and breath in the sent of her, tell her that it is okay to feel bad. So with out thinking I grabbed her and reeled her in for a bear hug.
Clara's P.O.V
OOOOOHHHHH MMMMMYYYYYY GGGGOOODDDD. My brain is now fried like a dead fish. The prince is hugging me, no now he is, he is groaning. No he couldn't be, he is my soldier and I am his general. This is This is This is against the rules. I think the blood from my face is leaking onto his shirt. My heart is beating so fast that I think he can hear it, while my face resembles an apple. The only bad thing is that I don't want it to stop. If this goes on for any longer I might do something completely unethical. This feeling of not wanting to break away, of not wanting to let go will be my downfall. In the end I will be the one to get hurt if I let myself, if I let myself fall for him. This was all happening way to fast. Luckily I somehow manage to release myself from Zander. Then I saw his shirt I was right my blood did get on it.
"Zander look at your shirt. A soldier should always be in ship shape when he's before the general." He looked at me funny.
"Look at your face, you aren't necessarily setting a good example for your soldiers." Oh no he was completely right. "Let's get you to the nurses office." Zander said relieved that I wasn't asking about why he was just hugging me. I was going to ask him, but he looked as though he wouldn't know how to answer me.
***
Zander took me to the nurses office, then was sent back to class. I bet I just ruined his first day of school. Well whatever it was his fault for almost getting captured by the ninja league. Maybe he'll learn to be more carefull. Well no sense worrying about that boring prince.
