What is real?
"SECURITY!"
Will's voice resonated through the whole silent hall. All of us were standing there with our mouths agape, taking in Will's cake covered face.
Mia, Caleb and I snapped out of it when we saw two burly men making their way towards Sophia.
"What the hell?!" I shrieked, running to her, "don't you dare touch her!"
Some man in a red uniform came to Will and quickly handed him a handkerchief. Will snatched it from his hand and wiped the cake and cream away from his face, then, gave me a pointed look.
"I will suggest you stay out of this," he said in a smooth, stern voice.
"Why will we do that?" Mia came to our side, "back off, dude."
Will pinned us with a rage stricken look, "Do you morons even know who you are talking to?"
"Geez, man!" Caleb walked up to us, giving Will a cool look, "we don't care. If you are wrong, accept it and move on."
Will gave us a malicious, yet calm smile, "Oh, but, that's the problem. I am not wrong. It was this," he pointed a finger at Sophia, "this peasant's fault."
"You over confident, egotistical, narcissist, food stealing asshat!" Sophia spat at him.
Uh oh...
Will's eyes flashed dangerously, "You will regret saying that, peasant! Security! Arrest her!"
The two burly men started moving towards us. Sophia was giving them a 'bring it on' look, while Caleb, Mia and I struggled to hold her back.
Oh my God! This Will guy was getting so out of hand...I was reminded of how he got a girl arrested just for kissing him...and, here, he had received a heap load of insults and a full blow to his ego in front of so many people. It didn't seem like he was going to let it go easily.
If we wanted to get out of this situation, we needed to use some other trick...
I glanced at Mia and Caleb. They seemed to be thinking the same thing. Mia winked at me subtly and placed a hand on her heart.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," Mia let out an ear piercing scream.
Instantly, all attention was directed on her. She started gasping for air, clutching her heart.
"She is having a heart attack!" Caleb started yelling, "help! Someone help!"
"Oh my God, Mia!" Sophia immediately crouched down, "I told you not to have too much soda!"
This girl...
"Are you kidding me right now?" Will exclaimed, "soda?!"
Sophia shot him a glare, "Yes! Soda! Ever heard of it, asshat?"
"Security!" Will barked again, pointing towards Sophia.
"What kind of prince are you?" Mia snarled at will, "A girl is dying here! Give me some break!"
My eyes widened at that. Shit! Our cover was blown...
Will seemed to realize the about the act too, and folded his arms across his chest, "You know what? Arrest all of them. NOW!"
I didn't even know what to say anymore...there was no one to protest to this, everyone was standing in the sidelines, watching the spectacle silently...even our teachers from school.
That is, until...
"Whoa! What's going on, here?" Noah's voice broke the silence of the hall.
Wow, perfect timing!
Noah took in the scene before him, then, turned to glance at Will. Will was looking at Noah with comically widened eyes.
"Uh...hey there!" Noah greeted Will, cautiously.
Huh? What was going on?
"You have got to be kidding me!" Will muttered to himself in shock.
"Why the hell do you think that anyone is free enough to joke around with you?" Sophia snapped, "What's so unbelievable about Noah?"
Noah chuckled, "Chill, Sophia. I tend to have intimidating effects on people," he declared smugly, raising his eyebrows at Will's expression.
I couldn't help the scoff that escaped me, "You and intimidating, your highness? Oh, please!"
Noah winked at me in return, "You are lucky that you are my soul mate, baby. You don't know how intimidating I can be."
This guy...would never leave an opportunity to embarrass me...
For some reason, Will was watching this exchange between Noah and me with his jaws dropped to the floor.
The hall was silent for a moment, as everyone tried to process everything. From the corner of my eye, I saw Caleb filling his pockets with the marshmallows from the buffet table, and had to suppress a groan.
Finally, Will gulped, and glanced at Noah uncertainly, "All this time...you were-you were-"
Noah's jaw clenched for some reason, and he gave a tight smile, then, immediately got over it and chuckled, "You caught me, man. All this time I was a werewolf!"
"Stop it, buddy!" I told him in disbelief, "if you keep repeating it, one day you will start believing it!"
Noah only grinned at me in response, "But, I already believe it, mate."
Will finally snapped, "Stop it, Noah. Have you forgotten that you are bethroth-"
"Hahahahahahahah!" Noah cut Will off.
Huh...weird...but...
"What do you mean he is a bathrobe?" I asked, in confusion.
This made Noah laugh even more, but, I think it was genuine this time and he came to pull me in a hug, "See, this is why you are mate!"
"Noah..." will started, "you shouldn't be doing this...in public."
Oh my God! Will was right! Why was Noah hugging me?! And, why the hell was I enjoying it?!
No...this was not good...
"Ew, human!" I scrunched up my nose at him, "let go!"
Noah only tightened his hold around me, "Never, baby."
I could just about hear the amusement in his voice. This annoying SOB!
"NOAH!"
Finally, the angry old Will's voice was back. He pulled Noah away from me.
"You are coming with me, right now!" Will told him.
Okay...what the hell was going on...?
Noah glanced around the hall, at all the spectators, and then cast a suggestive look in Will's direction. A look which said, 'drop it.'
Was I seeing things? Was it my imagination? Why did it seem like they knew each other?
Before I could process anything else, Liam appeared on the stage, clearing his throat on the mic. He was the center of everyone's attention now.
"Guys, I am here to bring to your notice, a very important information," Liam announced over the mic, "it has come to my notice that today, in this hall, we have among ourselves, the one and only SHAWN MENDES!"
That was all it took for chaos to erupt and for everyone to start running in random directions. Noah immediately grabbed my and Sophia's hands and yelled at Caleb and Mia to follow him.
Uhm...WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?!
I caught a glimpse of will trying to follow after us, but, failing miserably.
So, even the prince got caught up in chaos sometimes, huh?
Needless to say, Noah dropped all of us home, after that. I, for my part remained silent throughout, while Noah kept casting hesitant looks in my direction.
My brain was reeling with an overload of information, as I ran everything through my head: Everything since the day I texted Noah.
By the time, Noah dropped me home, I was sure that I had lost a screw or two. Nothing made sense...I couldn't differentiate between real and imaginary anymore.
All my analysis was yielding only one result, a result which seemed too farfetched to be true.
Heck, at this point, I was ready to believe that Noah was a werewolf and I was his mate!
But, if the conclusion I had arrived at was true...then, I was screwed...royally so.
In the end, I was back to the end of the circle, to where it all began, and I was left with only one option...to do what I did in the beginning...to text Noah.
