Alex flashed me a bright, yet uncertain smile. "GPS."
I sat staring at him. Why didn't I think of that? My phone was still on.
Son of a bitch!
"What'd you want?" I inquired through gritted teeth.
Two tiny lines pinched between Little Miss Mermaid's eyebrows. Her pink lips tightened. If it wasn't for Alex staring at my assignment paper, I would have thought she was glaring at me.
"You got another C?" he asked, avoiding the question.
I sighed, and stuffed the papers in my backpack, crushing them in the process.
"Yeah," I murmured. "That bitch is trying to destroy my life. We had sex once, and she

Rules were implemented for a reason. Sometimes we also disobeyed them. Why? More times breaking them meant freedom, and freedom was what we desired. This was not so with Alex. He wanted to break the rules to help. Yet, no one saw it that way. He and Sophie had been arguing for quite some time. Though their voices were lowered, and they were no longer the cynosure of the room, their body languages said it all. And, by the clenched jaws, and flushed faces, we would be here for a little longer.The prince had left them and went into the tunnel-like structure of the glass place. When I went to peek at him, he was sitting on the floor. He fit in with the beauty of this place. It was as if we were under the ocean. However, if I could remember correctly, the creation called glass protected us from the water. Sea creatures of various kinds were swimming on both sides of the glass and above us. It was magical

Why must you always try to ruin my life?" I tossed my backpack on the countertop in the kitchen.Shelly didn't lift her eyes from the pot of sauce she was stirring on the stove. I slid on a stool around the island."Is this the part where I would say, I don't know what you're talking about?" Her words sounded more of a tease than anything else.I glared at her back. "I'm talking about Alex. You—"She cut off my sentence when she pivoted on her heel with a large wooden spoon held out to me. She came closer to me with, "Taste this."Instead of demanding an answer to my question, I did what she asked and tasted her stupid sauce. A sweet yet tangy flavor spread across my tongue. I nodded and she narr

Sure, if my home was being attacked, my parents would want me to be safe. They would send someone to take care of me. I was healthy and fine. Yet, I had a Guardian with me. All the time. It was infuriating. What was so different about this princess?It took a few minutes before Shelly answered with a, "I don't know why they sent her without protection. It's not the norm. I plan on finding out when I get to the Kingdom."We needed answers. I deserved to know how much trouble this princess was getting my family into."Good," I blew out.Shelly leaned against the sink and observed the ceiling. This was her 'something was up' stance. Whatever it was, I hoped it wasn't too disastrous. If anything, and it was serious, it would give the king another reas

"You know, I'm going to have to get you home before Prince finishes his class, right?" Alex expressed while paying keen attention to the stretch before us called a road."I know," was my grumbled response.The prince didn't seem much like a nice guy. Sure, he cared for his people, but his colleagues were left behind in his selfishness.I shared my concern with Alex, but he just kept on urging me to hold off on any feelings and try to get to know the prince before I judge him. What more was there to know?I even tried mentioning that the prince deliberately kept touching Sophia when it was obvious Alex wasn't comfortable with it. There was so much evidence that pointed to the fact that Alex had some kind of affection for Sophia.

The ringtone from my cell phone blasted through the room. It had for the past few minutes. There was a part of me who wanted to watch it ring without picking it up. The other part, the obedient son, knew the consequences of neglecting his mother’s call. She was a crazy person. This was the main reason she never rang more than twice. The first would be considered as a missed call. The second would be intentional, not even if it was not. Mom was never the person to piss off. If anyone thought my temper was bad, my mother’s was worse. And unlike me, she didn’t care.I vacuumed a nostril of sea air for courage and answered the phone, hoping my voice sounded and my face appeared chirpy enough. “Hi, Mom. How's the city life?”I forced a smile. Mom had a motherly sixth sense to know when things were going to shit. She often video calls to let me know she knew everything was going on in my life despite her location. Those calls were happenin

Sophie and Alex didn’t take long to get here. When the two mermaids were on their way out to the pool. I intercept them in the kitchen. Unlike usual, Shelly was dressed in the same thing Little Miss Mermaid was adorned in: shorts and a tank top. Shelly’s light blue matched Little Mermaid’s black. They looked as if they were more going down a runway rather than practicing anything that had to do with combat. I cleared my throat. “I’ve decided it’s good that all of you practice together.”Sophie and Alex’s eyes widened. Shelly gave me a smug look. Of course, she would. She was the one who placed the wheels in motion.“You changed your mind?” the mermaid asked. The surprise in her voice did not go unnoticed.“Yeah,” I answered, trying to keep my eyes away from her. “You were right, Alex. It’s better we are able to keep each other safe. The only way you guys

The room grew quiet as everyone watched the prince leave. Shelliot didn't seem surprised, but Alex, Sophia, and I were. The prince had made it very clear he was not on board with Alex practicing with us. Now, not only had he changed his mind about Alex, but he wanted Sophia to train with us too. That was even better than the first plan.The smug look on Shelliot’s face proved she had something to do with the prince’s change of heart. This went to show the prince listened to the advice of his subjects. A Father often said a great King was one who listened to his people.“Okay,” Shelliot said, gathering our interest. “We should get started before it gets too late.” Her eyes met Sophia and Alex. “Can you two change into something you would not mind getting wet?”Alex glanced at himself.Sophia dragged a hand through the end of her ponytail. “I have clothes here. I think there are s

I strolled into the garage with Alex on my heels. It was almost sickening that he knew me better than anyone else. He knew there was a reason behind my decision to have Shelly train him and Sophie. Any other friend would have welcomed the offer with open arms. Not Alex, though. He was relentless and annoying as fuck.I started to open one of the back doors of my truck but paused when Alex opened the passenger door in the front.“I need a ride,” he threw over his shoulder before hopping into the truck.This was why some people were introverts. Friends were nosey and irritating shits.Without looking, I closed back the door and made my way to the front. I threw my backpack on the dashboard and climbed behind the wheel. A sweet familiar scent trickled up my nose.I glanced at Alex. “Are you wearing a new cologne?”He stared at me through the corner of his eyes. “No.” Then s
