CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2.

I walked through the many hallways until I arrived at a junction with two corridors. The path on my left led to an open space, while the one to my right had a set of double doors.

I took the right path, moving to stand in front of it. Pushing the doors open, I found myself blessed with a beautiful view.

A garden, a magnificent scene to behold.

I walked down the stairs to stand on the neatly trimmed lawn. Looking around, I bent down to feel the lush grass.

Ahead of me laid a bed of beautiful black rose flowers. Upon sighting them I stood up, walking forward to stand in front of them to admire their structure and texture piece by piece.

"It's kinda rare to see black rose flowers," I said to myself, still lost in the amazing view.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, making me turn around in fright. I relaxed, however, seeing it was Mike. I smiled, giving him a tight hug.

"Hey Mike," I mumbled through the hug.

"Hey," he responded. He brushed my back with his delicate hand while the other held my waist.

"I was looking for you," he smiled.

"I'm sorry for troubling you" I replied sheepishly.

"I'm here now, you found me" I spoke, pulling away from the hug and replacing it with a peck on his left cheek. "You look cute," he complimented, grinning at me. Pulling his left hand into mine, interlocking our fingers together we walked out of the garden.

"How is family?" he asked. We kept walking side by side with our hands still intertwined.

"All good, I guess" I sighed saying those words.

"You don't sound excited about being part of the royal family," Mike expressed.

"It's kinda hard to adjust to my new life, I can't seem to call Robert 'Dad'. Mum told me to try but I can't seem to" I explained, stopping in front of an art studio. I felt him stop behind me.

"I know it's hard my Bambi-"

"I am not your Bambi" I quickly clarified.

"Yes, you are, my little bunny. You just have to get used to it, Bambi-"

I rolled my eyes at the idea.

"Godpa is a nice man." He began, speaking about Robert. "I know you don't know him much, but he is good" he insisted.

"Yeah, I guess," I shrugged.

We began walking out of the corridors, heading towards the cafeteria.

"The guys are waiting for us, let's hurry up," Mike said playfully.

"Okay"

We shot for the reception. Getting there, there were already a lot of students inside. The building was large and ornate. The sun oozed through the windows, giving more beauty to the inside of the building. We walked forward to his friends.

"Hi beauty," said Jasper. I nodded in response.

"Come sit with me," Laura almost commanded.

"No, she stays with me," Mike intercepted, not waiting for me to answer.

We walked to the two open chairs and sat down, we took the menu that was placed there looking for what to order.

"What would you like?" Mike asked.

"I don't know," I replied, searching the menu for ideas, my mind indecisive. "Fruits will do" I eventually replied, giving up since I didn't know what to order. Mike quickly made his order.

After a while, we had them brought to us.

I ate my fruits quietly while the others chatted. The break was soon over and we headed back to class for the second half of lectures for the day, and two hours later school ended.

Walking out of the school building, I met my driver, Joseph, waiting for me at the school's car park. I walked in his direction and greeted him politely.

"Good afternoon Joseph"

"Good afternoon Miss Christiana" he replied with a bow.

"Christy will do," I told him.

I got in and we left the school, reaching home in about thirty minutes. I got down and immediately went up to my room, ignoring the rest of the house.

Unlocking my door, I stepped in and locked it once again from the inside before pulling down my little black bag and placing it on a white couch close by.

I undressed after that and headed for the shower. In ten minutes I was done and out. And went straight to the dressing room (Surprised right? Oh well, that's one thing I heard about royalties. They had rooms for different things and activities. What a waste of space. Huh!) I applied some lotion and wore a simple pink dress.

It was a simple armless pink short flare dress that fitted me so well as if the tailor saw my size from his witchy mirror. Feeling satisfied, I braided my hair into two and applied a watermark lip gloss. I walked out of the dressing room and shut the door behind me.

I grabbed my phone from where it rested on the bedside cabinet to check the time. It read 3:15 p.m (What a boring life) I sat on my white queen-sized bed with one leg while the other I kept swinging back and forth over the edge.

Five minutes later, I heard someone knock at the door, making me turn towards the sound.

"Young Miss Christy, may I come in?"

I got up to open the door, seeing it was one of the maids.

"Yes, how may I help you? I asked.

"I would like to ask what you desire for lunch," she answered.

I took a few seconds to think about it before I replied "Nothing, you can go. Thanks"

I shut the door with a sigh and locked it up again.

I looked around the large, elegant room I was in. Walking to the mirror, I stared at my reflection, admiring myself.

"Oh Christy, welcome to the life of royalty," I told myself.

`Dear Diary | Monday January 19, 2021. 2:50 pm.`

*Today was stressful as hell, but kinda fun though. I met Mike's friends and got to know their names. I even found out that the school is not only populated with humans but other creatures.*

*During our break, I took a stroll and discovered a beautiful garden. It was like paradise, especially seeing the unique black rose flowers. Mike came to join me and after that, we went to the cafeteria for lunch.*

*During closing hours, Joseph came to pick me up and now here I am writing. Oh well, I'll take a nap now. I've got lots to write about, but later. Oh, before I forget, I met a pure-blood vampire, I believe he is one.*

Love Christy.
