Once Justin gets out the eyes were already on him, how’s it gonna be when I leave the car? He holds his hand out for me as soon as I left the car I felt eyes on me in every direction. The guards in the black jeeps get out pushing a few people away as Justin whispers to me.
“Is it always like this?” He whispers, looking around at the hundreds of eyes on us, no I can’t say it is, I see Gabbie pushing people out the way trying to get closer to me as the head walks out the school and over to Justin and me, who still hadn’t moved from our previous spot.
“Welcome back Savannah, I really didn’t think you’d come back after hearing the news” he smiles nicely at me, wow there’s a first time for everything, normally he’s screaming down my neck for doing something wrong “and you must be Justin, your father called and explained you’d be watching over Savannah” he smiles turning his attention to Justin with another fake smile, I look behind him to see Gabbie push a boy onto the floor immediately making people move out of her way.
“I don’t want any special treatment sir, I’m still Savannah nothing has changed,” I say walking past him making my way over to Gabbie, who was ready to punch someone.
“They really don’t know the word move do they?” I ask, she immediately looks up wrapping me in a tight hug as Justin walks over, she freezes unwrapping me from the hug “oh Gabbie, this is my cousin Justin, Justin this is my life long best friend Gabbie” I smile, Gabbie told me whenever I introduce her to anyone I have to use that title, so they know no one can take her place.
They both just stood there staring at each other I send them a confused look, I look between them as someone bumps into Gabbie immediately like on instinct she swings a punch to the guys face dropping him to the floor. Once again everyone moves back circling the boy laying on the floor, I grab Gabbie and Justin by the arms pulling them away.
“That’s our cue to leave,” I say pulling them into the school building, which was empty everyone probably ran outside to see me arrive, which weirded me out thinking about, normally people try to avoid Gabbie and me.
“That was not the responsible thing to do back there, you shouldn’t have swung a punch to that poor guy’s face,” Justin says towards Gabbie with a hint of anger, dude that’s nothing you should have seen what she did to the guy who accidentally cut her in line, it was not a pretty sight.
“Oh I’m sorry royal boy, maybe you’d understand if you spent a day here, without any guards but you probably wouldn’t last a day,” she says spitefully looking him up and down, wow I didn’t know it was gonna take this turn.
“That poor boy was just walking by and accidentally bumped you, he could have apologised but you just went along and hurt him” he spits back annoyed, I took a step back as they got ready to punch each other looking each other dead in the eye.
“You can tell you’re not from around here, if you show one sign of weakness, for instance, letting some guy walk into you, it shows other people they can try something,” she says getting into his face, she was absolutely right you can’t seem like a weakling here or people will walk all over you.
“Why did you ever want to come back here Savannah, in the castle, there are highly trained tutors who will give you the best education,” Justin asks turning to me bringing me into the little fight they had going.
“I love it here, it makes you stronger by seeing all this, I don’t wanna be stuck in a castle everything being done for me,” I say fixing my bag on my shoulder, as people start to walk in walking straight passed us not even looking over.
“Well I suggest you stop acting this way Savannah,” he says as someone tries to shove me but I managed to move, I turn to see Tanya, a girl I extremely hate smirking at me, I hand my bag to Gabbie who takes it smiling.
I walk over picking Tanya up by her neck smashing her against the lockers, she tries to get free but fails.
“You obviously think because I’m now princess I can’t fight back, but you would be mistaken, you ever try to do that to me again, I will kick your ass princess or not,” I say looking at her dead in the eye, she still tries to get out my grip but she wouldn’t budge “got it?” I say evilly looking her in eyes still, she quickly nods where I drop her to the floor, she wasn’t there long and takes off running down the hall her minions close behind.
Gabbie laughs handing my bag back to me but Justin had disapproval filling his face, the bells rings telling us it was the first lesson which we were all together for. People still stare at us as we walk down the hall, both laughing.
“I thought someone was gonna try something when I got back, I didn’t know it would be as soon as I walk through the doors,” I say, I see Tanya by a locker talking with her minions but when she sees me she immediately runs the opposite direction.
“It’s good to have Savannah Wilson, back kicking butt” Gabbie laughs as we make it to our science class.
“That was not a good thing, that situation should have been handled better, you sit somewhere at the front while we go to the back, I’m not your babysitter,” Justin says towards Gabbie taking my hand pulling me to the back of the room sitting me down on a chair with a hard look “I don’t want to see anything like that again Savannah,” he says, looking at me with a hard look but Gabbie walks straight over taking a seat beside me.
“I don’t like to be told what to do, royal boy” she spits towards him as the teacher walks in telling everyone to be silent, I just sat in between feeling so awkward.
We were halfway through the lesson when Justin starts to say things quietly while writing, I couldn’t make out what he was saying but it makes Gabbie drop her pen annoyed.
“If you have something to say, royal boy, say it loud enough for people to hear” she shouts, which makes the whole class look over at us, I sink in my seat not wanting to get involved as the teacher asks us what’s happening.
“You are a bad influence on Savannah, she is now princess, she can’t act like a thug like some people” Justin shouts both getting out their seats getting in each other faces.
“You better watch your tongue royal boy, you don’t wanna get yourself in trouble,” Gabbie says as the teacher walks over Justin says something quietly, whatever it was made Gabbie lunge at him dropping him to the floor.
I turn around as her fists repeatedly make contact with Justin’s face, I spring up from my chair lunging at Gabbie getting her off of Justin so it was my turn to repeatedly punch her in the face. Minutes go by until I’m pulled off her, she was basically unconscious at this point, my guards pull Justin and me out the classroom.
I hadn’t actually thought about what just went down.
