To: Prince Charming
Chap. 4
Alex POV
My black converse pounded against the beige vinyl covering of the stairs. I had my heavy white backpack slung across my shoulder. My Latin textbook was wrapped tightly to my chest and a little slip of folded paper was stuck between the pages of the textbook. I felt my change jingle within my cardigan pocket as I hopped down the stairs. As my feet touched the ground, I walked to beige and black desk behind the dark stairwell and slipped my neatly folded lined paper on the desk.
I turned my feet 180 degrees and walked out of the dimly lit corridor and was slammed with the smell of cooking meat and pizza. I felt my water at the scent and began to quicken my pace so that I could fill my empty stomach. As I walked down the white tiled corridor, I saw a tall, toned boy with a forest of chocolate curls bouncing on top his head. He had a grim expression on his head and he looked at his feet as he walked to where ever he was going to go. As I looked closer, I noticed that he was Harry Styles. I could tell he was miserable because he was tired of being the guy everybody used for their fifteen minutes of fame.
Harry POV
I walked down the deserted hall. I kept my head down so that I wouldn’t have to see Kaylie or her drones. I used to love the fame. I loved the ability to pick up any girl I want and the free cloths weren’t that bad either. But honestly, sometimes I wanted to go back home and see my friends who didn’t want to use me. I wanted to random Harry Styles, not THE HARRY STYLES.
I walked past the gray steel doors in to the dark dingy stairwell and walked behind the old staircase to the broken down desk. As I walked behind the staircase, I was shocked to find a neatly folded up piece of paper instead of girl putting on lipstick and hiking up her skirt. I grabbed the paper and unfolded it quickly. I placed my note to Cinderella, and began to read her letter, assuming it was a girl.
I’m not going to use you. You may not realize this, but in reality you are just any old lad, a very popular lad indeed but just a lad. I want this assignment because it’s going to help us. Let’s just talk. Tell each other how we feel. Let out feeling out in a way that we wouldn’t be able to tell just anybody. I may know who you are, but I won’t tell anybody you secrets or that I talk to you. It’ll be out secret. Our awkward, Prince Charming and Cinderella secret (so ironic).
I could feel myself form a bright smile on myself. I slipped the note into my front packet and stood and slipped out into the hallway with old ceramic tile and cream painted walls. Felt my converse sneakers tap against the tile as I walked with sudden confidence. I guess just a simple letter could make me feel poised and full of confidence.
Alex POV
“Hey BITCH,” I heard from behind me as I walked outside into the grass area. In the distance I could see Katie and Joe waving for me to join them for lunch. I turned around and I saw Shay’s low cut burgundy sweater reveal her abnormally large breast and hiked up skirt riding to almost underwear level.
“Hi Shay,” I politely responded making sure that I wouldn’t get grounded for something as stupid as walking away from the bully.
“So, I, like, need you to get out my way.”
“Right on it,” I replied before hearing Kaylie’s annoying squeals in the background.
She ran toward Harry strutting towards the cafeteria. I saw a folded up piece of lined notebook paper sticking out the front pocket of his chinos. I smiled to myself knowing that he got my letter. He was shocked to see her running towards him. You could see the tanned bits of skin from her sweater riding up. She collided into him and immediately tried to lock lips with him. I felt my heart drop a little bit as she pulled him close. Suddenly he pushed her away and walked away. I felt my jaw drop slightly before I turned around so that I could walk away from my evil step sister when I felt a hand grab onto my upper arm.
“So you have a new celeb crush huh,” I heard Alexis say as I huffed before turning around to face her wrath.
“No, sorry Lexi. I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I fake smiled as I walked away as fast as I could to my friends sitting on blanket together.
Harry POV
I pulled away from her lips as fast as I could. I know that I used to be a player and shag every girl that I had the opportunity to, but I was over that. I need to find myself again. On tour and while I was getting famous, I lost myself and who I was. Harry Styles became known to everybody but not the Harry Styles that I knew and Holmes Chapel knew. I wanted to be me again and that meant getting away from the girl that would throw themselves at me.
I quickly pushed her slender body away from mine and left her standing rejected in the middle of the open hall. I grabbed my bag from the table a close distance away and ran off to find a secluded area somewhere in the school.
Great story love! It's amazing!
