Bella had another day of stress ahead of her. she woke up with a sour face filled with bitterness. Her every day life went pretty much the same. Only this time, she was starting her second year in learning, this time in College Academy.
"You don't need to talk to anyone lower than you!" Queen Aurora had said to her daughter, who was braiding her hair in two back long braids. "Remember that I haven't given you free permission to your full life. I still own half of it."
Her parents had agreed to let her go to school where other learners were, instead of homeschooling like they preferred, until the second year of if she would be in College.
"No funny business, Orabella. If you so much as end up in any news channel or advertisement, I won't hesitate to make you learn from home." She said, her eyes following Bella who runs to pick up her bag pack on the bed.
A Queen sized bed suitable for a princess, her mother would say. She on the other hand hated everything about her life. It wasn't like she had anything to like about in her life.
Her mornings were filled with her mother pestering her to make friends and maybe find some sort of hobby she could do. Only she wasn't going to do any of them.
"Mom." Bella interrupted, walking to stand in front of her mother. Her slightly deep raspy voice echoing in her room. Aurora looked up at her very tall daughter, who could be measured as 6'3ft, being that she was so tall, her heart flattered a little.
Orabella was born different. She wasn't girly, she did not wear dresses, nor did she like all that cute, colourful makeup, her black eyeliner was all she put on. With some chapstick.
She was tall, slightly mascular with tattoos all over one side of her arm, and one behind her ear. She dressed in jeans, sweats, t-shirts, and sweatpants. Not once has Aurora seen her daughter dress in a dress.... Maybe when she was still a very little girl, but at the age of ten, everything changed.
"I need you to relax, mom." She grabbed her mothers tense shoulders and squeezes lightly. "Everything will be fine. I'll be alright."
Aurora tugged a small curl of her blond hair behind her ear, caressing her cheek. The baby blue eyes looking down at her, made her heart warm up. It wasn't often that Bella made any body contact with her. Bella hated hugs, cheek kisses, handshakes and even a pat on any body part.
"Fine. I'm just nervous."
"You don't have to be." Bella stiffly nodded, rubbing her back. "I'll be alright."
"How long does it take until summer break again?" Bella rolled her eyes, but her heart warmned at the clear fear she held for her. This was the first time her daughter was getting out of the palace, to stay somewhere else.
"It's in eight weeks."
"Oh my gosh! Eight weeks is so long!" Aurora exclaims, shaking her hands and head in denial. "You c-can't be so far for so long. I-I'll-"
"Firstly, I'm twenty one, I'm old enough to take care of myself." She pointed a finger in front of both of them. "Secondly, I'm there to study, and that's it. No drama, no chaos and most especially no slacking around. No destructions." Aurora calmed down a little after hearing that. "-although mom, I'd really like to meet a girl."
Aurora tensed, her shoulders dropping. "You said no destructions, Orabella."
"Exactly."
"Then how are you suppose to focus if you chase around a girl!" there she was, snapping again. Auroras' limbs shaking as she started breathing heavily.
Bella groaned in annoyance, the need to walk out and leave her there bugging her, but this was her mother.
"How am I supposed to find my queen if I don't look around?"
"That is why I wanted to hold a ball, where the neighbours and other Villages get to bring their daughters."
She sighed heavily, walking pass her Mother and out of her bedroom door. "You know I hate balls. All they want is my throne, I could possibly not find any potential girl who wants me for... me."
"I don't see how you going to Alexandrite Academy going to help."
She stopped, turning around as they both stood on the top of the grand stairs leading down to the living room. The huge space no one needs. "That's why no-one will know who I am." She smirks. "I'll be a noble gay girl who got in to the best school in London, built by my father himself, and there, is when I'll find her."
Aurora had nothing else to say, she could only smile softly at her beautiful daughter. Who was the only child they were blessed with. Looking at her, you'd think she's a boy, but that's only because her 'daughter' as she'd say in her head, was hidden in a slim masculine body of a 'boy'.
Finding out that you got a girl, and she only turns out to be a whole different story wasn't pleasing, but as years went, she finally learned to except it, everyone had to.
....and because she was the first heir and only child, she had to take over the throne one day.
"You're right, I understand." Aurora said. "Now, hurry up. You'll be late."
With a kiss on her mothers cheek, she ran outside to get in the SUV filled with her luggage. Her butler opened up the back door for her and she blankly nods at him.
Was she nervous? No. Orabella Alexandrite Hoyasha... was never nervous, but was she excited? Still...no.
One thing she agreed on was that she was ready. For a whole new chapter of her life.

"I'll carry those other two luggages, get the two behind the car." Bella said to her butler, who nodded.
After grabbing her bag pack and tossing it on her shoulders, her veiny musculine, huge fingers wrapped around the bags and started dragging them forward.
People gave her curious glances. She caught a few girls ogling at her and some boys eyeing her curiously. A very beautiful sight to see she was. Dressed elegantly and electrically. She was dressed in all black. She easily got looks here and there.
Her eyes, baby blues and the soft plump lips was very feminine to the eye, her long hair, blond in color that reached just above her flat chest, braided, was swoon worthy.
Even with the very feminine eyes, lips and long hair that male hardly had, her body physique was manly. She was musculine, tall, and hard faced attitude, she looked manly.
She passed by some really annoying girls who wouldn't stop staring, whispering among themselves.
She got lines between 'who is that boy?' and if she's not mistaken, she heard 'is it me or...does he look beautiful and handsome all in all?'.
She was used to such attention. Coming out of the palace once in a while, but she stayed hidden away from the light, she preferred the shadows.
Even though she was walking up the grand stairs of the Alexandrite Academy, the first time. No one recognised her, no one even knew her. The Kingdom knew that their rulers had a daughter, who was labelled as the 'Dark knight' at her outstanding strength in wars she fought. They also knew that she happens to take likings in to female, and even though some found it disturbing, they had no right.
They couldn't ever go against their rulers.
"Hi. My name is Dorlas Wayne. You must be....?" Bella blankly stared at the very petite short woman who stood in front of her, with her hands stretched forward for a handshake.
"Orabella." She did blankly, earning a blush from the girl. Dorlas immediately dropped her sweaty hand when he didn't even look at it, Bellas' eyes glaring at her.
"Ohh, Uh-huh. L-Last name?"
"Orabella Hoyasha." She used her middle name instead, but unfortunately, she was still very known by that name. The woman in front of Bella turned wide-eye. "Y-you're, it's you-"
Bella could feel herself getting uncomfortable and irritated as she glanced around and found eyes at her. she stood on-guarde immediately. Luckily, she had her butler to help.
Tater, Bellas' butler moved forward. "The name is common. She shares the same last name, but has nothing to do with it, no relation with the royals." He went for instead.
Dorsal was still in denial. "How is that so? I've never heard of anyone from this Kingdom that shares the same last name as the royals. Are you sure-"
"I'm not from here." Bella lied, looking forward, a blank and relaxed atmosphere around her. Her deep voice almost had the few ladies and including Dorlas herself shivering. "I came here for a semester. I'm from Germany."
And maybe she was mistaken, Dorlas thought. Even though she the name given to her was the royals name, known throughout London, why wouldn't she get a notice that a royal was placed here.
She nodded. "Right. Sorry, sir-"
"Orabella is okay." Dorlas nodded, gulping. "Ora...bella. I'm sorry if I came out too much." She definitely did, Bella thought.
Maybe it would have been better if her parents informed everyone except students about her placement, she wouldn't have to go through this, but she couldn't risk it. She also wanted an experience, to be treated the same, not like royalty.
Nodding, they both walked to stand as she started going through the system. "Have you been asigned a roommate already?"
"What roommate?" Bella asked, startled a little at that. "Is there a need of a roommate?"
"Yes, there is. Every boy or girl here gets a roommate. It's a big no-no for one to have a full campus room for him or herself."
"Oh." She said in thought. She forgot that this was going to happen. She hadn't no other way but to go with it.
Just the thought of sleeping in the same room as another bothered her a little. What if this 'roomate' discovers her little secret? How would she do it?
"Well. okay." She decided. "And no, I haven't."
"That's okay. We have about three rooms that need a roomate." Dorlas smiles, grabbing the three golden key. "Which ever you choose to pick is your room."
It was one tricky decision, the thought of grabbing a set of keys and ending up with someone she wouldn't get along with or be comfortable bugged her.
With raised brows, and deep breaths. She hesitately grabbed the key.
The middle key, with the number 012A on it.
