Chapter 5: Princess Who?

"I am forever wild. I am the electric child. I kiss to kill. I will not sit still. I don't follow my dreams. They fucking follow me." - Erin Van Vuren

I woke up to the sound of my stupid alarm going crazy so early in the morning. Okay, it is supposed to be waking me up but whatever. I groaned to myself while adjusting my eyes to the light shining so brightly from the little spaces between the curtains. I got up and hurried to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a quick shower. I wrapped my towel around my body and stepped out of the bathroom.

"I really need to go shopping. I have zero presentable clothes left." I whined to myself while going through all the pajamas and stupid tees in my wardrobe. After failing thrice in an attempt to find something, I just looked at Saph's side of my wardrobe. Don't forget the "my" there. I knew I should have looked at her clothes earlier. I picked up a pair of jeans and a baby pink halter neck top. Cute. I then quickly combed my hair and made them into a pony before applying some mascara and lip-gloss.

Just when I was about to pack my homework and clean my room, the door opened revealing my mom all covered in flour and something else I didn't quite register.

"Honey, would you mind waking up Tyler, please? I have to make breakfast and he still hasn't woken up."

"Why me mom? You know how hard it is to wake that sleepyhead." I requested my mom with puppy dog eyes. Ugh, where is Tuck when I needed him. Nobody can hate his eyes. Two puppy dog eyes would have done the magic.

"Please Aur, you are even ready and there are still like 30 minutes left. Just try waking him up once please."

"Fine. But only once."

"Oh you can wake him up any way you want Aur," my mom closed the door after giving me a wink.

"Now this is going to be fun," I said to myself while rubbing my hands evilly as my brain cooked up amazing ideas to wake Ty up. I called Tuck from downstairs and he came running in my hands. How much I love this baby.

I picked some makeup from my room and headed towards Ty's room that was right beside mine.

I saw him sleeping soundly with the curtains drawn and the blanket over him. I quickly went close to his bed while asking Tuck to not make a noise. I slowly leaned over him and took my make up out and drew over him a little. Okay well, all I drew was a mustache, some more facial hair, darkened his eyebrows and applied a bit eyeshadow. Now that's very very little. I then went to the kitchen and got some whipped cream and poured it over the side of his pillow which was saved from the drool that was coming out of his mouth. Yuck. Ah, I guess this much was enough. I took my phone out to record all that was going to happen in less than 30 seconds.

I picked Tuck up and dropped him on Ty's bed. And being my sweetheart he directly aimed for his face while woofing at him.

Ty muttered something along the lines of "Tucky get off." But I am not very sure. Oh, now the fun part. To avoid Tuck, he turned his face around and came in direct contact with all the mess that I had poured over his pillow. He quickly jolted up and this ladies and gentlemen is how you wake someone up. I smirked at him while he put two and two together.

"I swear Aur, you are so gonna pay for this trick you pulled off. I am going to kill you." Ty got up while walking towards me in the process of wiping the whipped cream off his face.

"Shit," I gulped and started running towards the kitchen. If my parents don't save me right now, I swear I am packing my bag and running to Antarctica. Well, I like penguins.

"Oh, where will you run Aur. I am gonna catch you sooner or later."

I ran and ran until I saw our dad sitting in the dining room whereas our mom was cooking breakfast.

"Dad, please save me," I whined like a baby.

"Save from...", he was cut off when an angry Ty barged into the room looking like a ghost from some horror movie.

"Oh, you are dead Aur. D-E-A-D," he said while making his way towards me.

"Stop right there young man. You will not do anything to my daughter here."

Oh how much I love my dad.

"Oh, no dad. I will. She shouldn't have woken me up like this. I am so gonna make her pay for this."

"Blame mom! She gave me the permission to wake you up any way I wanted," I said all that in a breath.

"Yes Ty, I will ground you for a month if you are even cooking something in that brain of yours. If you don't want this to happen again, wake up on time," our mother replied while making her way to the dining table.

"Whatever," Ty mumbled while making his way to his room but not before turning towards me and mouthing the words "it's not over." Why am I get an ill feeling from these words already?

I gulped and sat beside dad while putting some chocolate pancakes on my plate. I wondered what Ty was planning in his mind. We have pulled so many pranks on each other that now it has basically become a war to see who's pranks are better and something tells me, he meant when he said this isn't over. "Okay Aur, you can handle what he's planning. Stop acting like a baby," I consoled myself while filling my stomach with these heavenly chocolate pancakes.

The first period was Math and I was glad that Mrs. Willson was in a good mood as she only gave us a worksheet to do while she sat on her desk and stared at her phone. I don't wanna brag about myself but I am very good at math. That is one subject I enjoy to do a lot. So basically I was done with my worksheet in half the time and then I just listened to songs on my phone.

Lunch rolled by quickly and I was back to sitting with my group of idiots, okay not Christina, I like her. She hasn't shown us her crazy side yet. So she isn't put under that category. Yet. As I was saying they were all either busy eating or busy stealing other's food. Yeah, that's the only thing that makes us friends. We are all crazy for food. All of a sudden I remembered that mom had asked to invite Christina over.

"Hey Christina, would you like to come over sometime? My mom was asking about you and plus I could really use some company instead of these assholes."

"We are right here!" everyone yelled except for Jer, yeah he was busy stuffing his goddam mouth.

I shrugged them off and grabbed a fry from Saph's lunch. I never said I don't steal.

"Oh I am not free during the weekdays because I work part-time in a café, but I guess I can come over on Saturday if you'd like."

"That's great. We can have a girl's night and Saph you are invited to come over too."

"Oh Aur, I don't need an invitation from you. I already self-invited myself to your place." Saph winked at me.

I just rolled my eyes and began eating my lunch.

"Hey did you guys hear of the party?"

"Chris if its another one of your lame perverted stupid joke then lemme tell you I would not think twice before kicking you where the sun doesn't shine." I gave him a death glare.

"Calm down Aur. I would love my balls intact which means no I am not saying a joke and also may I add, my jokes are very creative and amazing unlike yours. So anyways guys, as I was saying, Noah is throwing a party this Saturday at his house so are you guys in or not?"

"Christina, are you going?" Alec asked clearly hoping that she'd say a yes. I looked at them as a small smile made its way to my lips. What? I ship them! Completely!

"Yeah, Christina! Please say yes, it's your first time here and if you feel uncomfortable after some time, just come to me and I will take you back home. But you've got to attend this party." Jer piped in while the smile on Alec's face dropped so fast and was replaced by a growing scowl at lightning speed. Damn if looks could kill.

"Hmm, I don't really know. Not that I have a problem in attending the party but its just that I am new here and haven't really gotten the time to know more people."

"Come on Christina. That's what parties are for. To get drunk off your ass and get to know new people! You have to come. Please?" Saph looked at her with her pleading eyes.

"Don't scare her Saph. It will be fun Christina and since it's on Saturday and you are already coming over, we can all just get ready at my place. It would be so much fun." I said while clapping my hands together.

Christina finally agreed to come to the party and I was positive that Ty was going there too so I would just ask him to give us a ride there later.

The rest of the day pretty much summed up to be boring. Oh, I also had a very near encounter with my favorite person walking down the corridors along with her minions. Since the day the cafeteria incident happened, we didn't make much conversation. Even while cleaning the place after school, we would both work silently for an hour until it required us needing the other to pass something. It was quite strange though. Yeah, she would give me weird looks all the time but Ashley shutting her pretty little mouth is not a sight I am very used to. And that's why something tells me, she has something going on. I guess I will only come to know what she has planned when she decides to execute it. Maybe something will happen at the party or maybe she's planning something long term. Or maybe she isn't planning something at all. I hardly doubt the latter but then again my favorite person is not very used to putting her brains to use.

When I reached home along with Ty, we saw our parents walking their suitcases to the door along with them. They informed us about this project that required their attention and that they would be out for a week for a business meeting. My dad owned the Stephen Enterprises which was one of the top companies in New York. My mom worked as his secretary earlier and that's how they fell in love. I know typical cliché love story, but I am quite a fan of those, so I don't really mind. However, now my mom works with him in his business along with him.

We lived on the outskirts of New York in Warlington. Our town was quite well off and was resided by many of the top billionaires in various companies. It was just an hour and a half away from the New York City. I informed mom about Saph and Christina coming over and she was quite over the moon. I am so glad Christina won't have to meet my parents and I would be saved from all the embarrassment. "I have so much homework," I thought to myself as I closed the door after waving bye to our parents.

I didn't even realize it was Saturday and I have never been happier in this one whole week that passed by. Finally, the weekend made its special appearance. I pulled over the covers as the sunlight stroke my face not so politely. "I hate mornings," I groaned to myself before turning around to get the sun rays off my face. Seriously one day I decide to lay on my bed all day and do nothing and the odds aren't in my favour.

I didn't even do anything bad this whole week for which I was being punished. Santa Claus, you better be seeing this and if I don't get a good gift on Christmas I will personally chop off your beard and take your reindeers away. Yeah I am a very morning person. So bubbly and full of life. There's no competition. Why don't I hold a Guinness world record for this?

I stood up from my bed after throwing my covers violently off me and made my way towards the bathroom. I freshened up a little and got out of there when I heard my ringtone echoing the room.

I saw the caller and immediately had the urge to end the call. I was pretty sure Chris would say all the junk if the day in the morning itself and I was really not in the mood to listen to his crap. However being the good girl I am, I picked up his call and put the phone on speaker while cleaning my room a little. No I am not a perfectionist like Monica and when I mean little, it is little.

"Hello!" Chris's voice chirped in like a morning bird while I was having second thoughts of actually continuing the conversation with him further.

"Oh hello my master! How am I of any service to you so early in the morning? Do you want me to come and clean your bedsheets on which you peed last night while watching a horror movie? Or do you want me to..."

"Oh my god. I knew I shouldn't have called you knowing how you are in the morning. Does your sarcasm ever gets low? Like ever?"

"Nope. And if you have called to talk nonsense then I am cutting the call."

"Wait wait, I had to ask if you guys are still on for the party. And how are you guys reaching there?"

"Yup we are coming. And I will ask Ty about that. I am pretty sure he's going too so he can drop us there."

"Okay that's great. I will see you guys there! Oh I almost forgot! I hope you fall on your head. Bye!!"

The nerve of this guy. I looked at the time and it was already 10 am. I walked up to the kitchen and made myself a cup of cold coffee. I was looking for what to make for breakfast when the doorbell rang. I walked towards the door and opened it to find Jake standing there with a bored expression on his face.

"This is Stephens residence. How may I help you?" I asked in a professional voice as a smile played on my lips.

"Well for starters you could help me by letting me in your paradise." He entered inside after I motioned him to.

"Then I think I might like some breakfast and a lap dance princess." He winked at me.

"Jake shut the fuck up! I will break your nose if you ever ask her that again." Ty walked down the stairs as he glared at Jake.

I chuckled as Jake put his hands up surrendering.

"Ty, are you going to Noah's party today?"

"Yeah, Jake and I are going. Why?"

"Oh great. I was wondering if Saph, Christina and I can hitch a ride with you guys to Noah's place?"

"Sure. We don't have a problem as long as you and Saph keep your hands and lips to yourself. I swear if I see any guy kissing you guys or anything Aur, I will take you all back home." Ty said in a stern tone. Ty has always been a little too overprotective over me which is why I never really had a real boyfriend. Even Saph is like a sister to him which again explains his "overprotectiveness."

"Okay dad. As you say. We'll leave by 7 right? Also, how in god's name did you wake up before 12 am?"

"Yup 7 sounds good. Oh yeah I got a call from dad saying he forgot this important file and that I have to go to the city and give this to him as soon as possible before their flight leaves for California in the evening. So I will be back in three and a half hour." Ty grumbled as he motioned to the file and looked as if he could sleep anytime.

"Good luck bro. Since you will be back in some time I am just gonna crash here. Plus Aur will be a great company." He smirked at me as he said the last line.

"Yeah Aur. You remember all the equipment in the store room right? Don't forget to use them on him." Ty laughed while closing the door behind him after stepping out.

Our storeroom was stocked up with all sorts of bats, chains, ropes, hammer, sticks and everything. Dad and Ty had specially brought them from a local store just in case they might come handy during a break-in.

"What equipment was he talking about princess?" Jake smiled at me mischievously.

"So we are back to princess now? Oh those, they are just somethings to play with...oh and they can make you moan very loudly ." I said in a husky manner making his Adam apple pop up.

God his expression was so priceless that I couldn't control my laughter anymore.

"Oh god Jake. Calm down Jake Junior. I was talking about hockey bats and footballs and all that." I said between my laughs.

"Ouch princess, you almost got my hopes high for a second there." He mocked a hurt expression. I just chuckled and made my way to the kitchen.

I was making some pasta for the two of us when I suddenly felt a presence behind me. I could sense Jake standing so close to me. I don't know why but if he moved one more inch, our bodies would literally collide. But he didn't move and I was relived that maybe he was searching for something and he went. And the moment I turned behind, I almost banged into his hard chest but steadied myself before I could fall. "Bad move Aur," I said to myself. I looked up at him and saw him staring straight at me.

"Princess..." he said as his breath fanned over my face while I waited for him to continue what he was about to say.
