WILLIAM'S POV

Moving around was really tiring. And the reason was even more tiring.

After an almost-all-day flight, I was exhausted and fell sleep immediately. It's already midnight, though, I would have a whole Sunday to unpack.

10 hours later ...

"Reng ... reng ... "

Doorbell ?

"Reng ... reng ... "

God, that's so annoying. No one  had ever disturbed William Savaltore's wonderful sleep, especially in the morning.

"I'm coming ..."

The door was opened and there came a middle-aged man ...

"Dad..."

"No welcoming hugs for this old man ?" He opened his arms widely and smirked.

"Ha" Typical events. "What brings you here, Mr.Savaltore ?" I didn't look into his eyes.

He laughed lightly, "Of course, to help you, son."

"Help me ?"

His face became serious, "Your 'business' ... Amanda."

I snapped my head up. "Why do you care now ? After over a year ?"

"Willy ..." He sighed.

"Don't you dare to call me that  !" I looked askance at him.

"William, I know I'd done many things wrong ... but please, give me just one more chance. I'll change. You know that I'll change. What do you want to know, I'll tell you. Just believe me, no more secrets and lies!"

"So tell me ... why mum was killed ?" I spoke with hatred.

"Will, I- "

I cut him off, "Enough! Get out of my house."

He sounded surprised, "Out? This is our house, s-"

I shouted, "I'm not your son! And yes, out. Please mister, leave."

He looked as if he was shedding tears, and then turned away and left.

I sighed with relief. I couldn't stand seeing him anymore.

The next day, at school, 8:05 am

I was rushing through the hallway. I had not used to the different time zone yet. So I was late.

5 minutes to collect the paper and timetable at the office and rushing to the class.

Math lessons with Mr.Daimler ? Shit, my worst subject!

Walking in the class, I realized that everyone's eyes were on me.

The teacher looked at me and then at my portfolio. He raised his voice, "Okay class, listen up. He's the new student in our class, behave well." He turned to me, "so introduce yourself to these monkeys first."

I smiled, "Hi guys, I'm William Savaltore and I'm from NYC. My dad moves to Australia for business, so I come here to. Nice to meet all of you."

Everyone was just staring at me. Awkward.

Mr. Daimler broke the tension, "Well Mr. Savaltore, welcome to this boring Math class. In case you don't know, I'm a very nice teacher. So unless you don't make noise in the class and pass the exams, you'll have nothing to do with me. Are you clear, New Prince?"

I smiled lightly, "Yes, sir". I saw some blondes smiling at me.

"Right, no more chit chat kids! Let's get the new Prince his seat so we can continue our lesson." He said and pointed to the only seat left. It was in the Conner of the classroom, right beside the window. But most importantly, there's a girl, sitting right in front of me, was staring at me. Those beautiful eyes ...

I walked fast to my seat as the teacher started talking. That girl was looking out of the window. She looked like an angel with white hair.

I want to be friend with her.

What can I do ? Call her ? What's her name ? Will she talk to me ? I'm frustrated!

"Hi, I'm Will" I tapped on her shoulder.

She turned around "Do I have this honor ?" I nodded and thought 'I was the one who had the honor'.

"Why?" She asked again.

I shrugged "Just making friends. I'm Will."

"Yeahh, everyone knows, you have just introduced yourself." She smiled, "I'm Kate."

This girl is really interesting.

"Oh, Katty. It's my pleasure to meet a drop dead gorgeous princess in this boring Math class." Did I just flirt with her ?

"Hey, don't worry. It's my worst subject too." She suddenly cracked up laughing. And I could see the sparkling sight in her eyes.

"Oh, so we have something in common now." This girl had whetted my appetite in going to school.

"We are."

Kate spoke up again, "And Willy, I'm so lucky to have this charming prince in this class with me, right ?"

She's flirting with me ?

"So you assumed that I'm charming ?" I flirted back.

"I'm not denying anything."  This girl seemed amazing.

"It seems like somebody has clicked immediately, I believe?" Mr. Daimler spoke up, and glared heavily at me and Kate. Soon, everybody in the class followed suit, as I could hear the murmur in front of us. The rumors would have it ...

"There must have been a mistake, Mr. Daimler, there's no way this beautiful girl would 'click' with me ..."

I tried to break the tension, and everyone started giggling. I'm sure that her cheeks turned heatedly red that moment. Oh my god, she looks fucking cute.

Time flied, and the lesson soon ended.

"Heyy, Kate." I called after her.

"Oh, Will." She smiled "How can I help you?"

"Uhh ... I was thinking ... uhh ... can you show me around ? Cause I'm a new student ?" Calm down, Will your stammering!

She suddenly cracked up laughing "Oh, of course. It's my honor to be your tour guide, my Prince."

I bursted out laughing at her words too. "Yeah, Prince ? I like you, talking to you was fun."

"Thank you so much. So hope you like my accompany." Kate acted like a lady. And we cracked up laughing. "So ... I was thinking ... would you like to join me for lunch ?"

I was surprised "Just you ? What about your friends ?"

"Friends ? Ohh there's a guy, too."

"A guy ..." Her boyfriend ?

As we were walking down the hallway, an unexpected boy turned up. Her face went white as he spoke. She suddenly held my hand.

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

That boy will definitely be the one who I hate the most on this school.
