"Sir we are ready and waiting for you..." Clark said,

"Okay I'll be right there," Zayan said

Clark walks away as for Zayan he Sighed and mumbled

"Oh God Zayan you can do this... Everything will be fine... Ah...Alright"

Zayan walks towards the stage where a crowd of reporters was gathered, Zayan stand at the announcement stand and adjusted the mic on the table he forced a smile on his face,

"Ah... Ladies and Gentleman... I...I Zayan Rutherford welcome you all.." Zayan said to all the reporters there. A reporter stood from his seat and asked Zayan

"My Name Harry Smith from Daily News, your recent activities weren't appropriate as you're also suffering from so much backlash too, what would you say about this?"

"(Gulped*) Ah... I didn't do anything wrong..." Zayan replied nervously

"Sir you mean sleeping with Daughter of Arizona was appropriate?" Another reporter asked right after Zayan's answer.

"Your one-night stand can cost you your whole political career?" Another one hit question from the crowd...

"Are you sure you can win against the opposition?" Another reporter said...

.....

Zayan is sitting in his precious luxurious car with his manager and stylist, they are going to Vencross University, from all around the world, students come to study political science, in this university

"Sir everything is done. Your paperwork, your clothes, jackets, laptop, and all your books" Zayan's Manager said to Zayan.

"Good job Robert but what about my bodyguard?"

"Yes sir he's assigned he'll be in the university at noon probably"

Zayan nodded and looked away... He looked outside through the window he lost in deep thoughts...

"I've no one... This world is meaningless for me, I've everything but nothing, what will I do when ill face tricks and criticism, I'm entering a world which is full of fake faces, corrupt, heartless people, ruthless people... I can't imagine myself being a leader of millions of people it's insane, I need bodyguards to save myself but what if someone manages to kill me will people will even care I'll be on the news front page for three to five days and then everyone will forget me, I've only one person in my life, my mother but it seems like she cares about me cause I'm going to carry her legacy what if I die? She may grieve for some days but then she got her other son who she loves a lot than me... I hope I would have someone who cares for me and cries for me..." Zayan's Thoughts...

Roberts mobile phone rings, he pulled the phone out of his pocket and handed it over to Zayan

"Mr. Rutherford it's your mother, President Elias Rutherford ...

"Hello, mother how are you I was just thinking about you..." Zayan said to his mother

"Awww sweetie so nice to hear that I'm really sorry sweetie I didn't come to leave you at your university on your first day"

"No problem mother, you never had time for me..." Zayan said sadistically

"Don't say that your mother is working day and night for our country and our family..." her mother replied

"Really mother? Do I come into your family member list?"

"What do you mean? You are my family!" She replied

"Yeah, thanks for reminding cause In last five years when I was thrown into kingdom kildivania to study you called me once a... year on thanksgiving... then suddenly you cared about me?"

"Zayan it's enough I don't have to prove myself I love as I love all your brothers!"

"Please mother I don't want you to pretend that you care cause I am used to it... I ... am the last son of Rutherford the only person left from the Rutherford family... golden ticket for your next election..."

"What!! You're...(beep-beep)" Zayan hang up the call before her mother could say something...

"Sir we almost reached the university of political science."

"Alright Robert, please pass me over my coat.."

Robert stands from his seat and brings Zayan wore his Bluecoat on and looked himself in the window mirror

"Alright, you're ready Zayan!" Zayan mumbled

They reached the University As Zayan walked out of the car a group of paparazzi and news reporters gathered around Zayan... He doesn't like people around him, he looked down at his feet and walks toward the gate as he was entering it a question hits him from one of the reporters...

"Sir, your country rival's daughter is here, what's your thoughts on this..." as one of the reporters in the crowd asked Zayan mumbled "Arizona's daughter?" Then his gaze shifted towards the blue flag with three red vertical lines of Arizona's waving in the air at the top of a car...

Zayan drags his Manager toto the university in a hurry and scans as no one is watching him talking...

"You said there's no one coming from there to study here so why Arizona's daughter is here... don't you know how much our country and their country hate each other and even our public??"

"Sorry sir there must be some mistakes"

"Fool look at that car's top it's Arizona's flag and number plate!! Now go and tell my mother about this!!"

He looked away and moved forward to checking his room...

He entered his room.. the room was soo big and beautifully decorated, he took a quick look at the house he sighed and said

"Home sweet home," Zayan said to himself, out of nowhere a woman in a beautiful royal gown and heavy jewelry jumped on the couch and said to Zayan

"Hey... welcome you must be my new roommate..." the woman said to Zayan...

"Hello, it's Zayan Evans Rutherford... first son.."

"Wow you're the son of the great Elias Rutherford, ruling EdenBrook is like ruling whole world even my kingdom is allied with you so..." she said to Zayan

"Oo-kay that's my room right?" Zayan said

"Yeah, the shelf over there is mine," she said by pointing towards a shelf with five to six books almost empty.

"But it's empty and I'll put my books their cause I have got a lot of books" Zayan

"You're a nerd?"Zoe said

"No, I'm not! Reading books is not being nerd, it's genius" Zayan

"Blah blah, whatever I like that shelf, and I'm gonna put my crowns there soon so leave it..."

"Oh, Princess sorry but my highness I am not gonna take orders from you."

"Hmm... first time someone said that I am starting like you"

"If you want to put crowns we can share it half yours and half mine deal?"

"Yep deal where I've to put the seal?"

"Okay so was that the part where I've to laugh or give a high five?" Zayan said with an annoyed face

"Ah no... by the way you didn't ask me my name!!" Zoe said (giggling)

"Ah actually I did when I told you my name people usually tell theirs instead of talking about someone's mother greatness and all" Zayan said

"Oh, you're jealous? I thought doing that, will please...?"

"Ah leave it... tell me your name, what is it"

"My name is Princess Zoelia Craig Samsa Burke Clinton Cambridge bill burg Kingston, Princess of Kingdom Adole," she said to Zayan delightedly...

"Ah... are you done? Like I asked your name are you telling me cities name of Kingdom adole? Zayan said sarcastically

"Oh wait you're in front of the princess of Kingdom Adole the largest Kingdom in this world!! You should have been shocked or kissed my hand!"

"Dude are you serious? I don't do this shit if you want to behead me or something, go ahead.."

"I'VE A NAME!!! Not Dude!" She said to Zayan outrageously.

"Ah what was your name? Ah... Does Princess Zoelia Roman reign Goldberg James Bond fish dogs, Burg? Zayan said with a smirk on his face

"Ah no!! It's Zoelia Craig..." she said but Zayan interrupts her

"Ah don't start again look I'll call you Zoe if it's okay with you," Zayan said

"Ah better than the one you just took, by the way, have you checked this beautiful campus yet?"

"Nah but will love to..."

"Then follow me..." Zoe picked Zayan by his hand and showed him all places in university from Classes to Cafeteria and Cafeteria to the bathroom, at last Zoe took Zayan into a beautiful park

"It's the Private park only for royal students," Zoe said

"Ah, beautiful especially the flowers..." Zayan said and looked at the whole park amazingly as he was exploring the beauties and peacefulness of the park he closed his eyes and start walking with Zoe in the park as they were walking Zayan bumped into someone

"What the f....." Zayan stopped as his gaze met with beautiful women in the pink dress with ocean blues eyes with light brown long hair and a heart-shaped necklace

"Ah, I am sorry I..I.. am really sorry !!" The women apologized to Zayan but when she met Zayan's eyes she looked deeply into Zayan's eyes for a while then she shakes her head and stands steady towards him, Zoe jumped over the beautiful women, Zoe hugged her and greeted the woman with a kiss on the cheeks

"Blaine!! Nice to see you" Zoe said to the beautiful woman.

"Ah, you both know each other?" Zayan Questioned Zoe.

"Yeah we've met each other..., Blaine it's Zayan first son of Rutherford first year and Zayan it's Blaine D..." she was saying but before she could complete her sentence Blaine interrupted her

"Blaine first-year student..too." she hurriedly said to Zayan "(Smiles) you're looking so good in this outfit have to say Rutherfords knows how to inspire others..." Blaine added

"I'm flattered..." Zayan said with a playful smile on his face to Blaine

"(Smiles) I wasn't flattering you I was telling you the truth..." Blaine said to Zayan

"Oh is that so then let me tell you a truth too...

Your smile and your ocean blue eyes are so attractive" Zayan said with a playful smile

"Now I'm flattered.."Blaine replied with a grin on her face.

"Zayan are my eyes are like toilet blue? Or something?" Zoe said to Zayan, as any one of them can reply paparazzi jumped out of nowhere and start clicking pictures...

"Oh look with whom the First son of Rutherford is?" one of the paparazzi said

"Run!!!" they all said at the same time and ran...

"I'll go that way and you Blaine take Zayan that way!" Zoe told Blaine

"Okay, got him" Blaine replied and grabbed Zayan by his hand and ran, after running for a while they saw an alley, Blaine pulled Zayan by his hand in the alley, the alley was soo narrow as Zayan's and Blaine body was so close to each other as Zayan can even feel her heat, her breaths and listen to her heartbeats but at the other side Blaine was hiding from the paparazzi she put her hand on Zayan mouth so Paparazzi won't hear them then when the paparazzi passed away she deeply sighed and noticed how close they are, she pulled herself away from Zayan.

"Oh, it was too close... I mean the paparazzi not us, no I mean like we were also close but..." Blaine said nervously.

"It is okay... They are gone and I won't tell anyone that how you took my advantage and pulled me into a narrow alley...? Zayan said with a playful smile.

After a minute of silence...

"Ah, I've got a place in my mind where we can sneak out until guards catch the paparazzi, right upstairs we can go to the roof and the view from there is awesome... Like you won't even need to see my face again and again there..." Blaine asked Zayan

"(laughs) You're asking me out and wanna steal some PRIVATE TIME with me?" Zayan said with a smile on his face

"Just forget I ask" Blaine replied to zayan

"No I mean why not let's go I want to explore it..." Zayan said

"Alright then follow me, look we have to climb so you just have to do is put your right leg on this window side and left on the other one!" Blaine explained Zayan

"Wait what... It's awkward, let's use stairs..." Zayan said

"Oh my god, thanks for telling me cause I didn't even know that! It's the exam room which opens once a year so shut up and follow me" she said and climbed the wall it looks like Blaine does that daily...

"Wow, you're a monkey!" Zayan said to Blaine

"Thanks, Donkey now come up!" Blaine replied

Zayan climbed the wall with the help of pipes and window when he almost reached the terrace of the classroom but his legs slipped before he falls Blaine catch Zayan's hand before he falls

"I got you.." Blaine said and pulled Zayan up...

As she pulled him up he falls on Blaine's hand, they both balanced themselves, as their eyes met each other, they both gazed at each other for a moment as they lost in each other's eyes after a while both shake themselves out of it and collect themselves.

"Ah, thanks...Blaine" Zayan said nervously to Blaine

"Pleasures all mine" Blaine said, she tucked her hairs behind her ears nervously...

"Ah, Soo it's a classroom with a terrace is that you want me to see? Like it's nothing worth climbing all the way risking my life to see this shit..." Zayan said to Blaine...

"Hmm I didn't think you were that dumb... we are going to roof now, let's go."

"What! No way we can't do this how will I? If I fell? No, I can't.." Zayan panicked

"You're an ass, you know that right? We are going by using the stairs, not the wall!"Blaine replied Zayan with an annoying face

"Hmm let's goo to the roof then," Blaine said,

Blaine grabbed Zayan's hand and ran upstairs.

The view from the roof was heartwarming and peaceful as from there they can see the whole city, Zayan's jaw dropped as he saw the irresistible view from there,

"Wow...." Zayan gasp in amaze

"Isn't it beautiful?" Blaine asked Zayan

"This is ... awe...some, I was wrong it's worth a lot of thanks, Blaine, for taking me here," Zayan said to Blaine, She looked down at her feet with a sad look...

"Is everything alright? Did I said something wrong?"

"Ah it's my special hideout whenever I am sad I come here..." Blaine said with an awful smile

"But as far as I know you're a first-year student?" Zayan asked Blaine

"Yeah I am but I've so many memories here when I was 18 my mother showed me this place, She told me that whenever she was sad at her school days she came here and cry and cry," Blaine said, her eyes were filled with tears... As she looked up at Zayan "My mother took me here because she loved me the most..." Blaine added

"Oh.. so this place is only known by you and your mother?" Zayan asked

"No... University's staff know about this but students no..." Blaine replied

"So why you took me here when you hardly know me...?" Zayan said.

"I don't know," Blaine said with a smile, Zayan and Blaine stared at each other for moments then Blaine shakes herself and pull herself together nervously, and went downstairs... Zayan stayed there for a while and then he followed her but he couldn't find her,

"Where did she go?" Zayan mumbled and went towards his room.

Zayan saw Zoe sitting on the couch, reading a book of Zayan's

"Hey you that's my book, put that down.."

Zayan screamed and took his book away from Zoe

"Oh...okay okay catch your breath first, by the way where were you?"

"Ah me? I was with Blaine she's so nice and beautiful I think I like her and I think she also likes me, she took me to her secret place and told me one of her secrets." Zayan said with a wide grin

"Hmm, I thought you won't even think about her... after knowing who she is.." Zoe replied Zayan

"Humph she is beautiful and deep down she seems very broken... Whatever is she from ...Palsavani?" Zayan asked Zoe

"(Laugh) so you still don't know who's she? Zoe asked Zayan

"What do you mean she is a first-year student and her name is Blaine?" Zayan said

"Yeah and?" Zoe replied with a grin

"And...what?" Zayan asked Zoe with an anxious look

"(Laugh) she is the one who you hate the most!" Zoe said with a wide grin on her face... Zayan thought for awhile

"Hmm give me hints!" Zayan asked

"Alright... she is the daughter of the richest country in the world!" Zoe said

"Wait... it's Edenbrook my country she is from my own country! But why would I hate her? is she from my oppositions party?" Zayan replied

"Nah Richest after your country!" Zoe said

"Ah, it's Kingdom Azole? So she is from your kingdom?" Zayan asked

"Ugh Country! Not a kingdom!" Zoe said with an annoyed look

"Oh, then it's Arizona's who the second strongest country in the world...(when he realized what he just said) OH MY GOD WHAT!!!!, She is the Daughter of Arizona's!!" Zayan freaked out as he realized.

"Yep...!" Zoe grinned and said

"Damn it!! Why she lied!!!" Zayan screamed
