Royale Ace Academy

After a very disturbing morning, I began to make my way outside towards the car. Dad isn't going to be able to take me so he hired a personal driver… who just so happened to be the one person I loved in the world.

*BEEEEPPP*

Nathan…

My favorite person in the world… honking his car horn with a smirk on his face.

Life couldn't be better.

I looked up at the sky for a while before looking back at Nathan.'Today is going to be a long day' I told myself as I prepared myself mentally for the ride.

After Anthony's match, I finally started on my little prank that I was going to pull on Nathan. My dad and I did the same prank we did with Chris on Nathan. Only this time it was a male performer who was waiting at his place. 

What made the prank even better was the fact that Anthony, Nathans's girlfriend, and my dad were involved in it so I didn't have to worry about his girlfriend-Anna- thinking that Nathan was cheating on her.

 On the day of their anniversary, we had the male performers wait inside their house with flowers. As soon as Nathan opened his door the man would hug him and kiss around his face (of course everywhere but the lips).

Nathans's reaction on that day was priceless on that day. Anna had taken some acting classes before that to make the whole thing believable. She was a crying mess the entire time while Nathan was practically on his knees begging her to not leave him.

All in all, it was one of my best pranks so far and I just hope he doesn't find out it was a prank.

I sighed again and started walking towards Nathans's car. I sat in the front seat and eyed him warily as I put on my seatbelt.

"Whats with that look" He asked while flicking my forehead.

I looked at him annoyed. "Do you have to keep flicking my forehead so much?" I replied to which he shrugged and started pulling out of the driveway.

"When you're older than me I'll stop." He smirked to which I sighed again and leaned against the window. For a while, I was just looking out the window watching as Nathan drove past the neighborhood.

It was surprisingly quiet….. Too quiet.

'He knows doesn't he.' 

I looked over to the driver's side to see a smiling Nathan who was just humming the whole time.

"Did something good happen recently" I decided to just strike up a conversation in hopes that he doesn't bring it up.

"Oh, I recently proposed to Anna and she said yes." He smiled as I scooted towards the door. 

"Oh good for you two" I added while trying to avert my gaze. He is too happy right now and I knew for a fact that the smile meant something else.

'How much longer do I have to be in this car for' I couldn't help but feel uneasy at the silence. Nathan was the more talkative brother so this silence just meant that he had already started planning my funeral. After what felt like forever he finally pulled up to the academy. I started getting out making sure to grab my bag on the way and before I could completely walk away...

"You better make sure you're free in December, I wouldn't the flower boy to not show up" He winked with a smirk before driving off. I couldn't even process what he said until after.

"Flower boy…Did this motherfu-

Royale Ace Academy.

Royale Ace Academy was once a tennis-based academy, renowned for its training and development of talented players. However, in recent years, the academy was basically forced to expand from just Tennis. It was already known that they were going to add courses other than Tennis but it became more urgent now than before.

After Anthony lost and moved down to the sixth rank something unexpected happened. Ranks 7-10 were also changed and since no once has been able to beat them. No one knows where these people came from but they just appeared out of nowhere and haven't tried to challenge any other rank.

Since joining the bottom five ranks became harder, less people wanted to try and would rather just watch believing that they didn't have a chance. And because the city is a Tennis based one, people started moving out and in hopes to keep some people here, they expanded the academy to keep people from moving.

I walked towards the Academy after texting my dad about what Nathan just said and

' for fucks sake why the fuck is the walk to the building so long.'
