Danica’s Pov:
I felt my heart stop beating.
As the lecturer pronounced the words, and the students gasped, I felt my heart stop beating.
Hold on….whaaat???? Prince Nathan?
I’m….I’m paired with him?????
That’s impossible!
My eyes widened in shock as I left my mouth agaped as well.
“The new student?” I heard some of the students say.
“Oh my God! How did she get so lucky?”
I forced my lips short as I suddenly became thirsty.
I clasped my palms together on my locker and tried to control my anxiety.
Okay Danica. Maybe this is a dream. This is probably a dream
“So, after this class, you’re to meet up with your partners and agree on your time and location. I don’t know how you wanna do it, but its up to you. All I know is, you’re to submit your results on the fourth day. Everything you need to do is already stated in your manual. Is that understood?” Mrs Hayoon said and the students chorused a “yes ma’am”.
It took everything in me to be able to stop myself from turning to look at the prince. And not just him, but the rest of the people in the class as well. I could tell all eyes were on me.
“Now, that settled,” she continued.
“Let’s get down to the business of the day”.
She took a white board marker and walked over to the board.

She spent almost an hour in the class and as soon as she left, surprisingly, the prince left as well. It was more like he was going after her.
I stayed in my seat, having so many thoughts going through my mind. I couldn’t work with the prince. No; what if grandma finds out?
She’s always warned me to stay clear of the royal family? What then would happen when she gets to know I got paired up with the prince? She might angrily ask me to quit school.
Oh God! This is so complicated. What do I do?
We received two more classes and as soon as the last teacher left, the class became noisy and I could tell, they were all talking about the partnership – mostly about me.
I spotted Bitna leaving the class with her crew and didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me she was dangerously angry. Oh God. The look on her face…..
Geez! I didn’t ask for this. I’m not even sure i want this. Being so close to the prince…..it sounded dangerous.
I stood up with my bag and left the class and as soon as
I walked pass the door, someone walked up to me, a guy in suit. He looked like…..one of the guards.
“Excuse me, Miss. But the prince would want to talk to you”, he said as he held out a phone to me.
Huh? What prince?
G©sh! I really hope it’s not what I’m thinking.
“Wh…What prince?” I asked, trying as much as possible not to panic.
“Prince Nathan. He’s on the phone, Miss”, he replied and I released the breath I’d been holding.
Oh…thank goodness, its Nathan. I’d been so scared it was going to be Eric.
But Nathan….I still had s lot to worry about him
I gulped nervously and collected the phone from the guard,then I placed it on my ear.
“H…Hello?” My voice shook a little.
G©sh! I was so nervous.
“Danica” he called.
It was him – Prince Nathan!
Oh my! This wasn’t a dream. It really wasn’t a dream.
“My…my prince”, I bowed my head like he was right there in front of me.
I looked at the guard, and he was staring keenly at me.
“You got paired with me, right?” He asked.
“Yeah, I tried all I could to talk the teacher out of it, but she wouldn’t listen” he added and my eyes dimmed.
Whaaat?? He tried to talk her out of it?
I gulped hard and didn’t say anything.
“So, we’ll need to meet up for the practicals, right? Tomorrow’s weekend and there are no classes.
Now, we both know I can’t come over to your place. So, you’d have to come over to mine. And that’s the palace”.
My heart skipped at the mention of that. Wait…..the palace???
No; no. No way.
“M…My prince” i stuttered.
“I’m…I’m sorry but, I don’t think I can make it”,
“Why not?” He asked and I licked my dry lips.
“Uh…the thing is, I can’t…I can’t go to the palace” I said and he scoffed
“So, where do you want us to meet miss Danica?” He asked, but I couldn’t say a reply.
I completely had no idea.
“Listen, I don’t mean to sound rude but, I’m not the chemistry teacher, okay? I didn’t fix this. So, if you feel you wouldn’t be able to make it, we can just simply call it off and we both fail the test.
“If you’re interested, you come to the palace, 10 a.m.I’ll have all the equipments ready”.
And he ended the call.
So rude.
I wore a crumpled as I brought the phone down from my ear. Why was he so grumpy, huh? Geez!
I returned the phone to the guard who nodded and left without saying a word. And I stood there for a while, in thoughts.

HOURS LATER

After getting off the cab, I walked the rest of the distance home and as I did, I couldn’t help but think about the prince. Prince Nathan. What do I do, huh? The whole thing seemed so complicated.
Definitely, there’s no way I’m telling grandma about this, else, I’d be a dead meat. Definitely, she’s gonna ask me to quit school. And having such a golden opportunity to be I Royal High, I didn’t wanna leave it for anything.
But the prince….what if he finds out I’m the lady he’s looking for? Or what if something happens?
Or….g©sh! I didn’t even know what to think anymore. But seriously, I felt there was a big problem.
Although, it was awesome and a big pleasure working with the prince, but I still felt kinda scared.
I finally got home and couldn’t believe I’d been thinking the entire time.
About opening the door, I heard some noises from the sitting room.
I furrowed my brows and pushed the door open and the first person I saw was Scott.
What???
He was in the room with grandma and they were both laughing together, looking so happy.
