"Hey Mom," Clara smiled nervously and the Queen arched her brows. What is she doing in our class.
"It seems like your class is not interesting for them, cause I know these three like the back of my hand," she spoke in her powerful British accent to the teacher. It's not like I don't have the accent, it comes naturally, that's how I speak every time. He looked terrified, maybe he's thinking that he'll lose his job
"It's not only that aunt Anne, Clara here forgot to bring our project and that's why I was sulking so they tried to cheer me up cause we are definitely gonna fail." I spoke.
"Are you talking about, this?" Her hands flew out of her back and behold there was our project, a replica of the city hall made of toothpicks, it was a masterpiece. The whole class broke into gasps but one stern look from the Queen shut them up.
Happily, I can stand that we did this on our own without any help, just the photo that was used. I had to carve out 'City Hall' from a wood and glued it carefully to the top. We also tried to colour some part, like the roof and stairs. I am falling for it.
"Ah, thank you aunt Anne," I happily jumped out of my seat and walked to her. She smiled and gave it to me and I careful walked back and placed it on desk. "No thanks to you Clara," I snarled as I sat down.
"What did I do?" She asked sheepishly and I rolled my eyes mentally.
"Yeah, what did she do?" Alister added and this time I really rolled my eyes.
"Okay, that's done, now please pay attention and, Clara honey remember to eat your lunch," she mentioned and I sniggered earning a glare from Clara.
"I understand, bye mom."
"Bye, aunt Anne," Ali and I chorused as she left.
The classroom went back to it's former glory and our lesson continued. I just couldn't wait for our government class. I was happy about having multiple A+'s. But that was after lunch.
The rest classes passed as it was now time for lunch and we were stuck in a last minute class.
"When is it gonna end, I'm hungry," Clara groaned so loud that the teacher heard.
"We still have class, Her Royalty," Mr big Cain answered. It's not his name but of course a nickname the student brought out.
"Clara, I thought your mom came to school today," a girl called Jane said.
"Yeah, she came and to give us our government project and said some other stuffs," Clara replied. I know where this is going.
"Did she say something about you making sure you eat your lunch?" She asked. I can literally taste my freedom now.
"Yeah, something like that. I will get into trouble if I skip lunch," Clara trailed off.
"Um, that's all for now. Go for lunch everyone and Clara please make sure that you eat your lunch," Mr big Cain packed his things nervously and quickly scrambled out. The whole class erupted into laughter, including me.
We high-fived Jane and left the classroom still laughing. Clara and Alister cleaned the tears that stood in their eyes as Clara brought out her phone. The constant beeping of messages filled my ears.
"If they catch you..."
"They won't, I won't let them. Besides I'll drop it back when I check the school news," she stated and I sighed.
"Your grave," I shrugged and we continued walking.
"No way..." She almost screamed and startled me. "What's wrong?" Ali and I chorused.
"Guess what?" She smiled.
"What?" We asked and she frowned. "I said guess," she replied and I rolled my eyes.
"Say it already," I crossed my arms and she shook her head before tilting her phone in my face.
"I can't see anything," I responded and she huffed and stopped.
"There's a new guy in school and he is going to be in our class," she squeaked and I sighed. We always do a first meeting with the new students. To show them around, know more about them and blah, blah, blah. It is kinda Clara's thing, she wants to experience and act like her so the school is the perfect place for that.
"We'll eat lunch first and go look for him later and besides he's in our class," I explained as I pushed her to the cafeteria with Ali following behind.
We walked into the cafeteria and towards our table, but we saw someone else on that table. He was busy eating so he didn't see us.
"Who is he? And why is he seating here?" Ali asked angrily.
"I haven't seen him before," Clara whispered back. "I think he is the new guy," I explained and she gasped.
"That makes sense, let's go," she dragged us to our table. "Hi I'm Clara and you are sorta seating on our table,"
He slowly looked up and his eyes widened like saucers. He dropped his spoon and stood up with his tray. "Don't worry, we don't bite" I sat down and they followed.
"Yeah, it's cool," Ali added as we nodded. "We are really honoured to have you in our table. Please sit," Clara beamed at the shocked boy.
He slowly but carefully dropped his tray and sat down. "He's cute," Clara whispered to me and I scoffed along side Alister. He's probably jealous!
"What's your name?" I asked. He stopped eating and faced me, I was met with glimmering hazel eyes. He is cute.. He had this boyish type of look. He had a golden blond hair just like Clara and it kind of rhymes with his eyes.
"Loren," he simply stated as he stared at me. He seemed uncomfortable.
"Loren, you don't have to fear we won't eat you. We are just like unofficial Union of Students in this school," I explained.
"It's like our job to make sure that the new students are comfortable, so they can find their place in this huge school," Clara said dramatically.
"Yeah, let's introduce ourselves." I stood up. "I am Alyssa Charles, this guy beside me is my triplet Alister Charles and Her Royal highness, princess Clara Royalty," I beamed and he nodded silently. I took my seat and faced Clara.
"Eat your food," I pressured Clara and she shocked out her tongue. She took out her lunch box and smiled at me.
"I can't finish it alone, you guys can help me." She said as she brought out four more.
"Besides you didn't bring any lunch," she cornered me.
"I will join you Clara," Ali said as he winked and she blushed. I just rolled my eyes, meanwhile, Loren had been staring at us.
"Don't mind them, they are crushing on each other without knowing," I explained innocently and he nodded. The other two looked away from each other as they tried to hid their flushed faces. Now they know!
"So you know your class and schedule?" I asked him and he nodded.
"No offence, but I have been talking since without an answer. Please reply with words,"
"I'm sorry," he apologized and I smiled. It's okay, I get it. We aren't familiar but you'll get used to us"
"Thank you," he smiled and I was shocked to see he has dimples. That was cute? I returned his smile.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but Loren, can you please look around," Clara said with her still flushed cheeks. He looked confused but he still obeyed.
"Everybody here has a group and people they stay with. I would like for you to choose your friends."
"I know, I know, we don't choose friends by appearance but character, you can choose first and if you don't like them you'll take another."
"It's gonna take time for you to meet someone that will fit your taste but w-"
"It's okay. I like you guys. If that's a problem I can leav-"
"It's not a problem, it's cool. You're cool just restrictive." Ali cut in and I smiled.
"Welcome to the team. We will get to know about ourselves later but for now we have to eat," I intertwined my fingers. He just laughed. Dimples!

Ahh!
"Relax, you'll be alright. Just breathe okay?" I tried to calm down Loren who tried to run away from class. We haven't even entered class and it's time for government class.
Turns out that Loren doesn't like attention and regarded he's new and cute he's get it all.
"We are one step away from class and we are running late," Ali complained, I kind of agree with him but friends come first.
"Okay, we are hear and we'll share the attention with you. You can stay behind us as we move," I explained and he took sometime before nodding.
"Good, now we can go," I adjusted the project at hand and led the way.
Ali helped to open the door and I walked in. The teacher stopped teaching and turned our wa--
The force pushed me from behind and I fell forward right on my face. I quickly stood up and dusted myself. The room was filled with sniggers but I ignored them.
"Oh no! The project," I heard Clara scream and I traced her eyes to a pile of scattered toothpicks. I spent my time sketching it, Ali an Clara wasn't so mad but I was. A+ just got to F-, if there's anything like that.
"I am so sorry," Loren stuttered and narrowed my eyes at him.
"I know that look, she's about to explode," Clara screamed dramatically which added to my anger. My beautiful art!!!
