He walked in the classroom with bandages around his both hands. She heard the gasps and concerns from their classmates and she finally landed her gaze on him. Her eyes widened on what his hands ended up. The Second and Seventh Princes asked him what happened but he just smiled and told them that he had an accident. She turned away and focused on using her phone. It wasn't her fault, right? She has been thinking about it since the classes started. 

It was already dismissal when the First Prince approached her. She looked around and noticed that there were only a few students left. His knuckles were not that painful, so when he asked her if they could have a talk, she nodded and he brought her to his office. She placed her bag down and he cupped her cheeks. Her whole body trembled when he touched her. Her urge to hug and cry on him was too strong. 

Her family found out what happened yesterday at the restaurant, so they confiscated most of her gadgets. She only had her phone to contact her driver. She couldn't even call the Fifth and Ninth Princesses to talk to them, thinking that they were tolerating her on seeing the First Prince. She defended them and said that they were unaware of her feelings for him. She could lie to her family for her friends but she couldn't lie about her feelings anymore. 

"I hate you." She whispered while trying her best not to cry in front of him. She kept on saying those words, forcing herself to believe that she really hates him when her actions said otherwise. 

"I hate you so much." She whispered once more and he smiled gently. He knew that those words were just lies. He caressed her cheeks before placing a soft kiss on her lips. 

Her tears fell the moment she closed her eyes while kissing him back. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. They ended up making out on the couch. They missed each other so much that they almost did it. She wrapped her arms around his neck when his hands traveled on her uniform blouse to unbutton the first three. Her heart is beating so fast, sensing if someone will barge in and catch them doing it. 

"Kazuma.." She whispered his name as he worshipped her exposed body. She gripped on his arm tightly with her face buried on his shoulder. 

Her lipstick was smeared on his uniform polo when she tried to bite his shoulder. The exchanged words under their heavy breaths are far more important than getting caught. Her moans were stuck in her throat while enduring the pain of doing it with him for the first time. He wrapped his arms around her once again while she was slowly moving on top of him. It was also his first time, so he was doing what he knew about it. She pulled his polo tightly when she felt a surge of warm fluids inside her. 

"Kazuma.. you.." She mumbled while catching her breath. Fear grew in her heart, thinking what if she suddenly got pregnant. She looked at him and cried once again. 

"Lauren.. don't be scared. Believe in me, please?" He said and she hugged him tightly while nodding. They already did it. All they can do now is to look for ways to prevent accidents. 

He reached for his phone and dialed a number. He urged her to fix themselves already since he called the Second Prince to buy contraceptives for her. He helped her fix herself since she told him that she was feeling sore. He knelt in front of her and put her shoes on her feet. They heard a knock from outside and he opened the door, seeing the Second Prince arriving with a small brown paper bag and a bottle of water. 

"I saw your driver at the parking lot, Lauren. He asked me if your classes are already done and I told him that you have club activities today." The Second Prince said and he handed the bag to her. She smiled faintly and thanked him. 

"Thank you, Riku. I owe you this." The First Prince patted his shoulder and then, he opened the bottled water for her. She took out the morning-after pills and stared at it. 

"I will not get pregnant if I take these, right?" She asked and the First Prince nodded. He assured her that the pills will help her to keep safe from pregnancy. 

The Second Prince opened the small closet at the side and took a new uniform polo for the First Prince. The younger one changed his clothes and hid the one with lipstick marks on it. He helped the Sixth Princess to get up and when she was able to walk straight, they let her leave the school premises first. The Second Prince let out a deep sigh and massaged his temples. They couldn't reach the Third Prince because they all know that he has been into a huge problem recently. 

"You know the consequence of loving her, right?" The Second Prince asked and he nodded. If they can just use a child to be together, he will do it. 

"You know that you two should finish studies first, right?" The Second Prince asked once again and he gave him another nod. He felt a headache coming but at the same time, he is  happy that his friend is fighting for someone he loves. 

"Kazuma, look at me. Let's have eye to eye. Tell me how much you love Lauren." He said and he saw how determined the First Prince was with his love for the Sixth Princess. At least, there is something so true in this world and that is his love for her.
