• The two Princes

    Chapter 1.The prince…
    Whoever thought that someday I would be best friends with an elegant knight that would sweep me up into safety when I am in distress…? 0.0
    Well, I guess I thought wrong…
    But still…could I have feelings for someone I would never be with…*^*??
    Am I losing my mind…? >.<
    Could I really ever think that my selfish wish would come true?
    A knight in shining armor in a valiant horse…
    Are you serious…!? No way… never. Not even in my dreams…>^<
    Or can it? Could I really be in love with him…? … These feelings… I don’t even know if they are true, but I can’t hold them any longer… I’ve got to tell him… how I really feel… I think that my feelings for him are getting closer to being pure love… but every time I get near that special person of mine, my heart beats faster than a drum and my face turns to a bright scarlet…>////<
    What am I going to do…? Will I ever be able to get near that someone I love the most?
    The biggest question is this:
    Does he love me back???…*.*
    Do you really think that a lowly girl like me could ever be loved by a luxurious prince?
    These are all questions that I am asking myself lately… I like this boy… he is basically the most luxurious part of the school. The principal’s son, Prince Jae-hyun.>^<
    He is the next successor to the Lee & co. heir, a very famous and rich company.
    Every girl wants him for his money.
    I am but a girl waiting for someone to come…Waiting until the right time… waiting for a prince in shining armor… but will he come…?
    I go to Seoul Academy junior high school. There is one boy who differs from all the rest. His name is Lee Jae-hyun… everyone in the whole school is under his rule. At least, whenever he tells someone to do something, they do it.
    One day, I walked up to him and blurted out, “Hello there.” I blushed and covered my face. Just talking to him I might be expelled. He looked at me from the corner of his eye. He acts like I’m not even there… or is he embarrassed? But why would he be embarrassed…? Could it be that he likes me…>.<
    No way. No way… never… He wouldn’t want to date a stupid, simple, and most of all normal girl like me. I can’t even get a stupid good grade in the high class school. He should be with the “Queens of Hearts”, 3 girls who are the most popular girls in the entire 8th grade. 0^0
    I envy them, for their beauty and their skill to lure in helpless boys. I think they are wrong, to just use the poor boys and leave them without a word… T^T
    As I lifted up my head to see, he was trying to look away from me. He collected himself, smiled coolly and said, “Hi Yoo-ri… I like your hair today…”^^
    My hair was never beautiful. It was an Auburn dark brown that seemed almost black in the darkness. Today I had straitened it for a change. Out of nowhere I said, “T-thanks…Lee Sunbae…” Sunbae was usually for the term “Young student or adult.”Although we were still in the 8th grade, I have always wanted to call Jae-hyun that. >.<“Oh shoot…this can’t be happening…” I muttered under my breath.
    “I’m sorry Jae-hyun… I was just-…um… thinking of another Jae-hyun who was in college, uh… so you just reminded me of …him?” I lied. +^+
    He looked at me very weirdly and said, “It’s alright…Anyways I was going to ask you something…I was wondering if you would… like to go to the…” 0-0
    W-was this my precious moment?
    Is he r-really going to ask me to the d-dance //>.<//?!!??

    “Hey JAE-HYUUUNNN~!!!” a loud screech came out of nowhere. >.>
    I turned around and saw them.
    Hae-sung, the “smart girl”, Eun-ji, the fashion police, and Sora, the leader.0.0
    The Queens of Hearts waited for no one. “So what are you doing with her???” Sora said, with an accusing finger pointed at me.
    “More importantly,” Eun-ji started to say, “what is she wearing, clothes or rags??” *u*
    The girls snickered amongst themselves, glaring at me and Jae-hyun. They knew he was the 2nd cutest boy in the 8th grade “Oh, it’s you, Sora… what do you want from me?” Jae-hyun said sighing with disgust. +_+
    “Well, I just wanted to ask you if you had a date for the dance…” she gushed innocently…
    I was standing there, amidst the popular in a whole new dimension. I couldn’t do anything or say anything the least.>.<
    He hesitated, looked at me, and then said, “Well I was going to ask Yoo-R-”
    “MEEE??!~ Oh really?? Thanks, Jae-hyun! I’m really happy now~…” she blurted out suddenly.

    “Uh …Sora, I think you are misunderstanding…I wanted to…” Jae hyun started to say.
    “Oh Jae -Jae, you know you were going to ask me after she’s going to reject you…” Sora grinned so wide she looks like the Cheshire Cat. I think all three of the girls started to laugh at me and then pleaded again to Jae-hyun… If it was one thing, Jae-hyun could never rule over the “Queens.” They were in invulnerable…
    And the worst part was that I couldn’t do anything about it… too scared myself.
    “Well thanks for asking me Jae and I really need you to come with me and pick out our color schemes together so we could match together and we could also do this-…”
    “…” was all I could say.
    Sora shot me a snobby glare and was off, more like dragging, Jae-hyun and her “Queens”. Jae hyun looked at me apologetically and mouthed “sorry”




    Chapter 2.My knight in shining armor?
    I stood there, deciding whether to cry or to crouch down in a corner… t.t
    “How can she…that evil little-…ahhh….I can’t believe she just…took him like that…he was going to ask me to the… to the…dance… we were even talking too….” I thought as the second bell rang.>.>
    I sat down and started to cry in my small corner as the rest of the students started to rotate for their next class.
    My sleeves were almost covered in tears when I saw a pair of shoes come up to me. I abruptly looked up, hoping it was Jae-hyun…
    Instead I found a boy looking down on me.
    “Hey girl, what are you doing sitt’n down here alone?” he said in a rebellious tone.
    Surprised by his voice I answered back, “This girl here has a name…”-.___-.*
    I sniffed as a tear fell down my cheek.
    “So girl who has a name, what’s wrong?” he asked.
    “You wouldn’t even care if I told you…” I replied gloomily.
    He paused for a moment and said, “ Well my names Han Joo hyun and I’m guessing you are Kang Yoo-ri, age 14, birthday December 16th, blood type B.” he chuckled.
    I gasped. “H-How do you know all that!?” I yelled. 0-0;
    He said, “I’ve taken quite an interest in you, Miss. Kang.” A mischievous grin spread upon his face.*u*
    “Or you could be a stalker…” I quietly whispered, loud enough for him to hear.
    “Hey I heard that!” he yelled looking really angry.*_*
    “Whatever… just leave me alone.” I said. I was too depressed to even look at him.
    “I think you’re just a little bit sad right now…” he smirked.
    I replied with, “Go away … I don’t want you here.” I muttered. T^T
    “Heh…” he laughed ^_^
    I looked up and saw his expression looking at me.
    “Hey Yoo-ri, let’s go to the amusement park!” he said with an immature voice. ^_^
    “WHAT? Are you stupid? We can’t go to the park in the middle of school! That’s unreasonable! Stop being so immature Joo hyun!” I scolded.
    How can such an idiot be in the 8th grade?? I don’t even know this guy and suddenly he is saying that he wants to go to some park?!
    Before he could say anything, he took my hand in his and he ran for the door.
    “Joo hyun just let me go!” I yelled. >0<
    He dragged me out of the big doors and the bright light shone on my face. He ran for the nearest bus stop as I tagged along, too weak for his strong grasp.
    “Hey, just trust me okay?” he said smoothly. -.-
    “I just met you and now you’re telling me to trust you?! Idiot…” I mumbled.



    Chapter 3. Why is he this… cool?
    “Come on Yoo-ri… let’s just have fun. You always need to smile when you’re sad…” he said. I looked at his innocent face. He had jet black hair and a sweet oval face. I could smell a nice aroma coming from him and his dimples popped in when he smiled. To me, he looked like a helpless puppy in a “Take me” box on a street. 0_0
    I grumbled, “Whatever… where is Everland at? I’m dying to try their new rollercoaster ride!” I smirked and led him to the bus that just came to our stop.
    He smiled. ^_^
    I sighed and we both got on the bus. Surprisingly, it was empty.
    “Mr. Bus driver, take us to Everland pronto!” he said in a happy voice. If our school’s dress code was wearing uniforms, I would have died when he said that. The police would stop you right where you are if they see you in uniform. They would even have to call your parents and the school would suspend you!!
    “Sure thing kid!” he said. ^^
    We took our seats and I looked out the fast moving windows…
    The barren winter trees looked like sticks and stones mixed together. I sighed and stared at Joo hyun…
    For the first time I noticed a scar on his neck… just below his chin…o-o
    “Hey Joo hyun… what is that scar on your neck?” I asked.
    “…” he paused, “That…I can’t tell you yet…” I saw his face and I knew he was serious.
    I couldn’t say anything, because my heart was racing. He blushed just like Jae-hyun, and he had the same exact dimples as him. His midnight black hair almost shone in the sun. o_~
    “Oh gosh…h-he’s so cool…” I thought. “No! No! I must devote myself to Jae-hyun!” I shook my head reluctantly…Although both names were very similar…Jae-hyun and Joo hyun…
    We arrived in Everland quickly. I went on all the rides Joo hyun forced me to go on and we even bought fishy bread with bean paste! My favorite Korean snack~! It was really fun, but I know I shouldn’t be doing this. I started to think that Joo-hyun is not a bad guy after all. Finally, when the day was over, Joo-hyun walked me home, just at the time school ends.
    “So? What did you think? Did you have fun at all?
    “…*sigh.” I thought in my head.
    I replied, “Yup!” and laughed. Thank you!
    He flushed and looked away.
    “Well, your welcome…”
    As he said that I noticed a dark shadow by my front door.
    “ Crap!” I muttered.
    “Yoo- Riiiii….. GET INSIDE NOW!” the voice boomed.
    I gulped and started to mutter, “ no…”

    To be continued…
