Chereads / Princess Sienna / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

The next morning, Sienna woke up, exhausted. Regretting being up so late last night. Luckily, though, she heard her mom in the kitchen making breakfast for both of them. Sienna gets out of bed and stretches, causing her shirt to lift slightly. She walks to the kitchen slowly and tiredly. "Morning," she yawns.

"Good morning, sleepy head. Did you get enough sleep?" Her mother looked up from her work for only a second.

"Yeah, I think so. And if not, then I'll just deal with it. I'll be fine."

"Ok. Here, have some breakfast."

A plate was set in front of Sienna with warm toast with nutella spread on top, with some eggs and bacon on the side. A cup was set with the plate a moment later containing a dark liquid, often known as coffee. Sienna smiled and happily ate her breakfast before school.

When she finished her breakfast, she returned to her room to get dressed and ready. When she was finished, she wore a white t-shirt with a flower print and a pink pleated skirt with leggings underneath. Along with some matching pastel pink shoes. Once done and happy with her outfit, she did her hair into low pigtails. Then put on minimal makeup with a hint of pink eyeshadow.

Once she was happy with her look, she walked out of her room and to the front door. "Bye, mom! I'm leaving," Sienna waved off as her mom smiled and waved back. Sienna walked out and closed the door behind her. She walked down the hall to the elevator, and rode it down to the ground level. Then she walked out and to the front door. Once she got outside, she saw a familiar face.

"Morning, Leo! You gonna drive me to school?" Sienna walked up to him and his car.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I?" He opened the car door for Sienna. "You look nice today," He felt a light pink color creep onto his cheeks, almost the same pink as Sienna's clothes, but not quite.

"Thank you!" Sienna smiled and got in the car's passenger seat. "I feel like we should discuss something on the way to school today."

Leo got in on the driver side and nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah, and I'm sorry about last night. We barely even know each other, but I am pretty much being forced to do this. Because my parents are making me choose a bride on a certain date, and I don't want to choose between people that I haven't even met before. And I feel like all of this was pressed on you," He vented to her as he started the car and started driving out of the parking lot.

"Hey, it's ok. Like I said, I'm not ready to make a lifetime commitment like that. I just need to think it over, and see if I'm ready. We are only freshmen in highschool," Sienna comforted him.

The rest of the car ride to school was spent in a comfortable silence between them, and about halfway through, Leo placed his hand on Sienna's upper leg, close to her knee. When they got there, Leo moved his hand to the wheel again, so he could park which made Sienna a little sad because his hand was providing a warmth she could not describe.

Both of them got out of the car to see Andy at the front entrance to the school. "Woah, did you guys stay the night together or something?" He was hinting at something specific, which made both of them blush and look away from each other. "No, he picked me up at my apartment." Sienna finally said after her face cooled down.

Leo remained quiet because he didn't want to spill any of the tea about what happened last night. Because he wasn't ready to talk about it with anyone. They all talked with each other until the bell rang for the first period. "Well, bye everyone. I have to get to class," Sienna waved everyone off, and walked toward her class.
