Bristol palace, Bristol.
"Ryan,wake up, wake up darling. Remember? You have to go to your school today."
School?oh school!!! Yeah right. So this isn't a dream. I'm really going. Somewhere far from here...
And I woke up late, again!I always have this issue with waking up on time. I don't know how I will manage to wake up early and go to class on time. Mom will not be there with me. Oh,oh I have jack over there. He surely will wake me up. What else are friends for?
My name is Ryan Morgan. I'm the prince of Bristol and today I'm leaving my palace in order to go to Beckford Academy. Oh my god! I really am going!! Finally I'm allowed to leave this place and to enter the real world. No more homeschooling, it's gonna be the real school. And I'll be able to make some friends too. The only friend I have now is Jack. I'd love to make some more.
It didn't take me too long to dress up. I need to be on the breakfast table with my mom and dad. And there is my father, the king of the nation! Always so busy with his works and unlike me a very taciturn person. I don't know how mom is still managing to be with him because he hardly speaks three words a day. And one thing, he's always grumpy. Like right now he's sitting there at the corner of the table with his usual frown, eating silently but I can tell that he still does not like the idea of me going out of the estate.
"Ryan, I hope you didn't forget in what condition I'm allowing you there to study?"
"Oh yes! I have to improve my grades otherwise you will make me come back home"
"Yes and do not leave the school until I give you permission..."
"Okay dad, I got it. I will obey each and every one of your words, don't worry. Now can I leave?"
"Hey hey, I'm here too! Before leaving give momma a hug. I don't know how I will spend my days here without seeing you? You must come back on your first vacation.
....
After the huge family drama, my car finally left me here in Beckford Academy. I entered my dorm and immediately got welcomed by my best friend Jack.
I love my dorm. It is the side for the royal families. It is nice and huge and we also have tv here.
The next morning:
"R.....yan"
"Ryan,wake up!!"
"Ryan I swear if you don't wake up right now I'll beat the shit out of you!"
"Ouch! Jackkk!! Is this how you wake up a prince? I was having a very beautiful dream and look what you've done". I pouted.
"Shut up! My throat hurts from yelling all morning to wake you up! Besides do you remember that you have to attend your first class today?"
"Oh yes! Of course I remember. It's my first day at school. How can I forgot about such an exciting thing? Just give me 5 minutes."
At school:
"Your highness, I'm the Dean of Beckford Academy. Allow me to escort you to your classroom. It's such an honour to have you as a sophomore at Beckford Academy. I'm truly overwhelmed."
I felt a little bit embarrassed about this. Of course I'm the prince of Bristol and people will be overwhelmed to get their prince as a student of their academy. Still I wanted to be treated like a commoner, someone who can't be monitored for everything they do.
"If you're in need of my assistance, please feel free to let me know immediately. I'll be more than happy to serve you, your highness!"
"It's okay", I replied back quickly."My bestfriend shares most of the classes with me so i think there won't be any problem."
"Okay! So this is your first class, your highness ".
"Students! listen up! Today the crown prince of Bristol Ryan Morgan is joining our academy. Please don't cause His Highness any harm."
"Huh? Prince Ryan? Seriously? Here??"
And the whispering got started.
"Ahemm" I cleared my throat and began to speak - "Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I hope we can be friends!"
Then I went to look for my seat. The class is already packed up and everyone has their own seat already. I didn't want to sit at the back, might be hard to see the blackboard and also didn't want to sit at the front seats too as the teacher might give all their attention to me. So i started looking for a seat and one caught my attention. There it is! It's right beside the window. That will give me a great view too. But no! Someone has already occupied that one. Okay I can always tell them to move. After all I'm the prince. They'll do anything I say.
"Can you please move to another seat? I want to sit here." I asked him directly.
The boy, frowning, looked straight at me and said, "Why would I?"
Huh? I never expected that answer. Especially from a commoner. Who does he think he is?
"Because I wish to sit here today so if you could..."
"If you do so, why didn't you come to your class so late? Try waking up early and come fast if you have a favorite seat to hold. I don't see any reason to move back as I came here early" he spat back.
"Excuse me? Do you know who you're talking with? He's your prince god damn it!" Jack said angrily.
"Yeah, a spoiled brat"
"What? What did you say?" Did he just call me a brat?
He simply ignored me this time and opened his textbook. The teacher came and asked ,"is there any problem, your Highness? Oh I think you already met our class topper. He's Edward, Edward Rojer."
Topper? That's why he has this attitude! I'll see him next time.
For now I didn't go any further and dropped the matter here and got myself a seat at the back.
It's only the first day and he's already getting on my nerves!!
