Rafael was walking as fast as his legs could carry him, he could have flown but that would only attract the attention of the palace guards. He grew up here so he knew all the corners he'd pass till he got to his father.
Prime Minister David was in his hidden house and he was shocked to see Rafael.
"What are you doing here Raf??" Prime Minister David asked.
"Dad, Zayn is now a student at my school," Rafael said
"What??" "Are you sure it was Zayn you saw?" Prime Minister David asked.
"Yes Dad, he came as a student though I don't know what his mission is" Rafael replied frankly.
" Then you have to find out what his mission is by any means possible "
"Okay Dad, understood, " Rafael said before leaving quietly.
Prime Minister David got curious about Zayn's sudden appearance in the human world; there was something the royal family was hiding.

Kylie prepared for school with much excitement, she had so much to share with Vera and Gideon. After her graduation, they all got a tattoo at Hartley's as an induction sign. She was at the top of her left breast and Vera said something crazy happened at school as well.
After greeting her parents, Kylie rushed out to catch the earliest ride to school.
On getting to school, the sky started pouring out light showers. Kylie tried running into the school building before the rain intensified and just then she noticed her shoelace was loose. She quickly bent down to have it fixed but suddenly she saw a boy wearing black sneakers standing in front of her with an umbrella over her head, there was thunder and the rain poured heavily drenching her partner.
The scene drew the student's attention as they couldn't believe that the new mysterious handsome boy stood in the rain to protect Kylie.
Kylie looked at his face and immediately she had a flash of the scene at the garden in Hartley's. She was lost in his beautiful dark eyes, his nose, jawline, and lips all gave perfection.
"How are you doing Kyle?" Zayn said to gain her attention.
" I. I'm fine" Kylie stuttered for the first time because of a boy.
Zayn was loving his effect on Kylie. She was pretty, her dark ember eyes gave a seductive look, and her lips were small and pink, they looked rosy. He took his eyes down to her exposed fair and fleshy neck, he could perceive her cologne even from a distance.
Their thoughts got distracted by the screeching sound of a car.
"Kylie?" Gideon called as he whined the car glass down.
"Hey goofy human" she replied while chuckling.
"Hop in, let's get to the class," he asked
As she took a step forward, she noticed that Zayn had left her, she saw him walking in the way so graciously. "Just who is he?" She thought to herself before getting into Gideon's car.
At school, everyone wanted to talk to Kylie about the morning incident with Zayn.
"OMG! She's so lucky" "Gosh! I envy her "" Oh I wish I was the one he gave the umbrella to," some girls in her class said as soon as she passed. Vera equally wanted an explanation, just when did her best friend and Mr. Good-looking become friends who shared an umbrella under the rain?
"Believe me best friend, I have never seen him before," Kylie said to Vera during a class
"Then why did he give you the umbrella?"
"I equally don't know, but I'd find out when I return it to him"
She looked at the umbrella which had a unique seal on it for the last time before leaving to find Zayn.

Kylie stood at the door of Zayn's class, unsure of what to say when she got into the class. She didn't even get his name.
"Oh goodness!" She said while pacing around the door. " How did he get to know my name?" she thought. "The way he said my name just reminded me of that strange boy from Hartley's" she realized a fact almost done.
"What if It's the same boy again?"
" Thanks for giving me your umbrella," Kylie said to Zayn.
"It's fine….." his statement was cut short by the voice of another boy.
"Kylie, time to eat, let's go," Gideon said.
She quickly grabbed Zayn's hand and dropped the umbrella in it before running after Gideon. Zayn was angry, how was he going to protect her when he couldn't even have a minute alone with her? He needed help and he knew where to get it.

At the cafeteria, the students were eating and talking when Zayn walked in just to look at Kylie having a good time with Gideon and Vera. He scanned the place before walking down to meet Rafael.
"I need your help, Raf," Zayn said.
Rafael's face turned ashen as he didn't expect Zayn to catch him. He was confused about what to address Zayn as, but he chose to deny Zayn after all this wasn't Daichi kingdom
"Who are you?" Rafael asked, trying to maintain a blank face.
Zayn's face wore a mocking smirk. "Are you trying to feign ignorance or you don't know me?" He asked with a smile but his hands were doing the opposite.
Rafael got scared at the sight of the black magic Zayn was emitting from his hand. He knew Zayn was just threatening him but he didn't want to push his luck.
"I'm sorry Prince Zayn, I didn't recognize you" Rafael lied.
Zayn scoffed at Rafael's reasoning. Both father and son were something.
"Well drop the formality, it's Zayn in front of everyone" " I need to get the attention of Kylie," he said.
Rafael: "..." "What do you need her for?"
"Are you questioning your prince's wish?" Zayn mockingly asked.
"No, but I just…."
"Shhh" Zayn gestures with his hands on his lips.
"I need to prove myself better than anyone to Kylie and that's where you come in," he said with authority
Rafael scoffed before replying, You need more than just good looks to get Kylie ". He counted his fingers as he listed things Zayn needed.
"A cozy apartment, a car, a bike, a phone, luxury clothes and shoes, and most importantly money," he said arrogantly
"Consider it done, "Zayn said leaving Rafael speechless.
