“Yo look there’s a creep looking at us.”

“is he even a transfer student”

“ew he’s so damn ugly”

.

.

Huh what's happening.. Why am I seeing everything so blurred?

.

.

“Hey”

“Ew we don’t want to talk to a freak”

“Hey.”

“I don’t want to be seen with a weird guy like you.”

“HEY”

.

I open my eyes in shock as I see my sister. I was breaking into cold sweats because of this recurring nightmare to be really honest

.

.

“Ethan were you having a nightmare again?”

Ethan’s POV

I should have slept earlier damn. These nightmares are really getting out of hand to be honest. I look at my sister who seemed genuinely worried about me. I sigh as I reply “Yeah. These are just getting out of hand I don’t know why but I’ve been seeing same kid of dreams lately but with different people and different places.”

“Brother I know you need to finish your assignments and homeworks but to be really honest look out for yourself too. Or else your brain will melt out of exhaustion and you’ll go firkin’ blind for not giving your eyes the sufficient rest.”

I sigh as I look away. “wait” she says as I look back at her as she brings her hand to my forehead and says “what the- why is your forehead slightly warm?” I look at her as I check my forehead. Oh yeah shit I forgot I was all drenched while coming home because I forgot my umbrella. Isabella looks at me with those suspecting eyes as I reply “it’s nothing just chill” she nods as she says “okay come down for breakfast. The food will get cold”

I look at her and nod while getting up. She smiles as she goes out of my room leaving me alone. I sit on my bed as I sign and grab my glasses. I take my phone to only realise it was already 08:30 and class starts at 08:45 shit shit shit.

I run to the washroom to get ready.

“I don’t know what good that school will do to me at this point. Tsk"

Ethan

Damn I should have taken a few meds or something with me. It’s only been about an hour and my head is already killing me damn it. I wash my face as after wiping it I put on my glasses about to walk out.

I open the door as someone pushed me back into a washroom stall. I groan as soon that person covers my mouth. I look at him as he gestures to be shut. He had sharp features. He was strong, handsome and also tall.

Soon I heard a loud thud as there was a deep voice speaking “He ran here as far as is saw. Maybe I’m wrong. Let’s go boys.” The doors soon close as the guy sighs and uncovers my mouth.

“Excuse me why did you just push me inside a random stall with you?” I ask as he sighs and leaves me unlocking the stall “just shut up and go” too rude for a handsome face ugh bummer. I look at him for a brief moment and look away. My head.. it hurts so much dammit. I get up and before walking a step everything goes blank

/////

My head hurts damn it.. argh.. Am I living in a dream or something? Wait what the- I got up as I saw the nurse looking at me. “Hey kid, a piece of advise you should rest and take a day off I know tomorrow is the second day but when you were brought here you were having a high fever.”

I look at the nurse. Did I actually black out? But wait. “who brought me here?” I ask her as she makes a confused face “wait I thought he was your friend he wasn’t?” I nod indicating a ‘no’ as she replies “Uh he was a tall guy and has blonde hair I guess?” I nod as I get up and leave quickly.

I could hear the nurse calling me from that room. I just go to my class as I sat on the nearest seat I could find. I didn’t find that guy in there as I just be quiet and soon the bell rang. I sigh as I got up. A new day yet I have already had enough bad hours.”

I sigh as I went to the cafeteria to some food. I took a sandwich and walked out as I found a place to sit in and have some food. I sat behind the back of the school. What can I say to be honest? I did not even  make one friend yet and god knows when I actually will be able to make even one single friend

I sigh as I continue having the sandwich but then I hear some voices. I turn as I heard a few voices. I ignored it at first but then I heard a familiar voice but I could not recall exactly where I've heard it. Out of curiosity I went a bit closer to the voices as I heard.

“this is a total joke isn’t it?”

“Young master we are sorry but his highness told us that you won’t be home schooled anymore because you need to be responsible and stop partying around.”

“what the fvck? Tell me this is a lie.”

“no young master”

Young master? What? His highness? The.. king? He’s the.. prince? Damn. Soon I heard footsteps which indicated that they were going away as I heard a groan and an aggressive stomp. He was the prince? I met an actual prince?.. I need to leave this place.

“Why are you here?” oh holy muffins-. I look up. He’s in-front of me. What the heck. “uh i-I was having my food and walkin’ around everywhere you know? Fresh air haha” Prince Noah looks at me. I’m so bad at lying ugh.

“you heard everything right?”

“whatt? No what are you even talking about?” I say trying my best to lighten the mood of everyone

“stop lying”

I get quiet as I was just trying to sneak out and leave from here but he blocks the way. “look” he leans in I was looking at him. He was too close. “w-what” I ask as he replies "whatever you heard you must forget that you heard every single thing and not even speak a word about this to a single soul. Got that?" I gulp as I nod slowly. Then he left with a normal expression as if he did not just threaten me. 'What a day damn'

Ethan

It's been four days since that incident. I've been completely ignoring that guy and I actually made a friend. He is quite like me. We actually became kind of good friends in just three days to be honest. I needed to make a friend anyways

Thinking of it his looks seemed actually kind of weird. I don’t know if my eyes played tricks with me or I actually saw his face so bright and he was looking handsome. Weird to be honest. Let's focus on class now Ethan no need to be so worked up haha. I shake that thought of my head as I start focusing on class.

I was looking at teacher while zoning out but one of her sentence got me out of that trance "Ethan and Noah you both will be working for this assignment together. I look at her as I turn back to see that Noah guy actually looking at me for a brief second and then looking away.

I turn my head back as I just feel like I'm an unlucky charm. The guy whom I'm supposed to ignore from each of my cells is now my partner in this ASSIGNMENT? Like are you kidding me… life sucks people. It really sucks.

.

I was walking out of my class with my friend and soon parted ways. Now I need to think how to approach that threat. I was walking with these thoughts when out of nowhere a hand came right on my shoulder "oh Lord!" I scream because of that little surprise and turn only to see… HIM? Noah guy?

"your place or my place?" he asks casually "what?" actually I heard him the first time the sudden question just came out of my mouth because I was surprised. "your place or mine?" he asked again casually as I gave it a thought and replied "um yours I guess if you don't have a problem." he nods "Mm okay then let's go", "what- now?" I ask as he nods. "yeah I'll give you the pajamas and whatever food you will need okay?" I look at him and fix my glasses as I just nod.

//////

"wow" leaves my mouth when I see his palace. Damn it's hard to actually think that I'll get to see inside this palace myself, walk around here with my own feet. Never in my dreams have I imagined that "let's go?" I look at Noah as I nod and walk after him.

Noah

I turn back to see him looking inside with great curiosity and surprise I mean I know he does like this palace. Who doesn't? we get inside my room as one of the maids give him pajamas and help him go towards the changing room. Meh let me just change out here only then. He came inside after a few minutes. Damn he was kind of pretty I must admit that. His eyes and his glasses made him cuter.

He soon looks at me as he asks "why are you half naked?" I smirk "that’s how I always am when I'm home. Any problem?", "no why would there be any like be for real we're both men here." I laugh as I take out my laptop. He shrugs and takes out his own laptop too.

I turn to him to see him working. To be honest he was actually looking kind of cute his facial features are actually good. "What?" he looks up at me confused "uh- nothing" yeah that actually caught me off guard. I just turn to my laptop as after an hour Ethan was done editing the passage. I would be the one presenting it. Well not a problem.

"I've sent you the edited version here.", "Yeah thanks dude" I open the file and give it a read "damn this is actually good to be really honest." He's good at this. I was actually amused by him "thanks" he replied after a bit of silence as I just nod.

"let's have something to eat, what do you like.", "whatever you would offer. Oh shoot its already 06:00 p.m. I need to go home" he was already starting to pack his stuff. He stops as soon I realise there was some serious shouting going on there. "What's that noise?" he asks casually

Ethan

"My parents. They are fighting" I look at him in disbelief because the king and queen have always been lovely dovely like cute teenage couples "what- seriously?" I ask as he nods. "been like this since I was 5." damn that’s not good though why is he telling me all of this though "Oh I  see." I reply as he nods softly.

.

.

After that we became kind of good friends we would eat lunch together and hangout more. Today was another evening we were walking by the park. "hey let's go and have a walk in there" Noah said as he looked at me with puppy eyes. "It's already about 6 pm though.", "pleasee" Noah begs as I sigh softly "Fine let's go then "I say as he runs there holding my hand"

"Hey don't hold my hand out in public you are royalty did you forget that?" I smirk softly as I tease him. "I don't care okay? I care about us right now let's walk around a bit" He smiles and  says that as I just sigh softly and reply "Okay finee"

We talked and had a bit of fun. Maybe Noah's not that bad. I was thinking when I see his face was too close "What are you thinking about huh?" Too close. I move away quickly "Nothing dude." he chuckles softly as I look at him confused "You are blushing" I widen my eyes "Whattt? You must be kidding" I pat both of my cheeks softly. He was still laughing as I narrow my eyes "Quit laughing dudee"

.

*Ring* *Ring*

"Huh why was he in my dream. Just what the-" before I could finish my phone rings again. It was Zack my best friend. I pick it up as I reply "Why are you calling me 8 in the morning?"

"You freak. Your interview's in an hour don’t tell me you forgot AGAIN?" I widen my eyes oh sh*t I actually forgot "I gotta go" I end the call as I run to the washroom to freshen up.

Crap I'm totally dead today. I run inside the office and to make my day more unlucky I missed the first elevator "F*cking hell!" I exclaim loudly as the elevator opens again. I look at the guy standing in front of me surprised "Are getting in?" I nod softly as I get in. This is so AWKWARD. The guy clears his throat "Cursing is prohibited in here." I look at him as and then look away again "I'm sorry"

And after that everything was quiet again. I look at him and then look away. To be honest he seems kind of familiar. Ugh whatever not my concern. The elevator door opens as I quickly get out sitting beside my friend Zack.

Ethan

"Excited much my friend?" Zack asks smirking. I roll my eyes you're such a pain in the buttocks dude why did I even make you my friend?" Zack acts as if he's hurt "You don't want your best friend anymore…. You betrayer! You betrayed your own friend!!"

"Quit being a drama queen or you'll get to be a bottom rather then a top okay?" I laugh as he looks at me and stops his drama. "Fork you!" I laugh as soon his name was called for the interview.

"Goodluck. Don't be a drama queen in front of the CEO or else you might get kicked out" I laugh as he rolls his eyes "Don't forget that you're applying for the CEO's PA and I'm just applying for a general manager."

"Tss! Pain in the buttocks!" I mutter as I wait for my turn. After about 15 minutes or so Zack came ack but his expression was somewhat both happy but scared. "What happened I ask him"

"The CEO himself will be interviewing his PA and in front of me he just coldly and rudely insulted a girl who applied.", "What?" I ask as soon a crying girl came out and ran out. I point to her as Zack nods. Soon my name gets called. "Goodluck" Zack says

He was actually serious man it's actually scaring me now dammit. I nod as I just walk in, each step just game me friggin shivers down my spine honestly as I soon enter.

I could not see the face as the back was turned to me. "Introduce yourself." he said coldly. Deep voice "I am Ethan Davis, Age 28 and further details are here in this." I put the file on the desk as he soon turns.

Honestly he seems familiar. "Nice to meet you Ethan Davis" he said as he SMILED!? Did Zack lie to me or something? "I'm Noah, Noah Davis, you may know me the crown prince" what? Noah… THE WHAT!? HIM?

"you are qualified for this Ethan, welcome to our office, he gestures the other interviewer to get out as he nods and leaves declaring a break outside. I turn to walk out "You. Stay"

"I-I don't think I'm qualified for this" I say as I turn to him. He chuckles "I chose you what's the point in going back now huh?", "I should take my leave sir" I say as I was about to walk out when my wrist got held and I was soon cornered to the nearest wall he could find.

"You can't run away from me Ethan." he whispers as I look away "tss! Why be a CEO when you are the crown prince.?" he smiles "for you.. I've been searching for you a long time now. And I guess I found you now"

He.. What? "y-you-", "Yeah call me a stalker or whatever you want, I don’t care Ethan." he leans in resting his head on my shoulder and hugs me tight but not the type of hug which hurts.

"missed you" what a maniac. Though I'm still blushing for him. "I need to go." I say as he looks at me. Our face too close but soon he chuckles and let's me go "see you tomorrow, don’t run away from me" I get out taking me files as I see Zack waiting for me

"I got qualified…" he let's out a loud sigh as he smiles "hah I knew he was scary maybe he scared you too, let's go get some drinks and enjoy together dudeee!" I just nod softly. I definitely need some booze after all of this. Ugh what did I just get myself into.!.. Just hell.

.

.

Noah

I.. Really fcking missed him. I don’t know how he left such an effect on me I just… don’t get it. But I can't deny, I missed him a lot and seeing him for the first time after a long time is just…. Ugh what's this feeling.. Ugh I look down while walking by the streets.

I guess I wasn't messing around with him like I thought I did, I just messed with myself when he left. "hey! I'm fine! I can still drink okay!?" what a familiar voice. I turn my head to see… what? Ethan? He's drinking?

I see his friend trying to stop him from drinking. "I went there and as soon as his friend noticed me he gasps and tries to straighten himself."

"Good afternoon sir, haha what a small world I'm so sorry that you had to see us like this please don’t be mad at us I promise I'll make sure we're on time tomorrow" what was his name again? Zach? Zayne? Ahh Zack!

I just nod "no problem. You are drunk too so drunk driving is not good I'll take Ethan home for you okay? I hope that's not a problem and I'll call a cab for you okay?"

"But-", "Ethan was my best friend" ugh I shouldn't have uttered that. "What?", "yeah" I say as I pick up Ethan who was practically wasted and already passed out. "See you around, Zack." I utter and just leave not wait for his reply.

I put him in my car as I start driving and as per to my guess Zack is already in the cab since I already called it for him before going in. after a 15 minutes of drive we were at my apartment. I take him out as he snuggles me when we were about to get in "I missed you" he mutters softly.

"What?" I ask him as he looks at me and then smiles "I said I missed you Noah" Ethan repeats and his drunk chuckle echoes. He softly leans in but I put hi down. I can't Ethan. Not when you are not on your right mind. I say as I walk backwards

He looks disappointed as he walked to me and pushed me on the couch and then held me by my collar "Don't leave me again" I just nod as he soon leans in and then kisses me. I missed that fck. He's making it hard for me to control everything.

I rest my hand on his waist as he I deepen the kiss, my hands roaming his body still thin but he seems a bit bulked up. I smile as I get on top of him as he was under me now "I missed you too" I reply as before I could kiss his neck he passes out on me
