Sitting in the garden always gave me the patience I needed to deal with anything else..
I chuckle before I was interrupted by another wicked laughter of what I heard at the palace , it sent shivers down the spine.
I grit my teeth looking at the child that has sticked all the way to where I was beyond my will.
" Luna , what are you doing here?" My eyebrows frowned and I didn't bother to fake a smile.
" I want to see the garden too." She replies , looking at me suspiciously.
" You can see it some other time." I mumble under my breath.
She obviously just came here because I did , I shrug it off but now I don't want to stay here anymore.
Luna was always just a bother either to me or anyone else , the maids and the girls our age.
They said she was nosy and talks too much and too unnecessary , too much.
I tried to see otherwise but then she was stalking me and friends wherever we go.
I sit down on the floor.
" You're- you're gonna get dirty?" She seems to question before doing the same as me.
I glare at her but she just stares at me and bites her nail.
I sigh but then my eyes glimpse something running through the bushes.
I shudder and my eyes widen.
What was that?.
I quickly get up and walk towards it , Luna calls for me but I could hardly care.
I quickly unfold the bushes to see.
It was-
My eyes widen once more.
A dude..
" Ah. how did you-?" I raise an eyebrow.
" Huh? Is there someone there?!" Luna shouts behind me.
" What." I turn around to her.
" Um no- just something I couldn't find , can you go back , I'll show it to you later." I reply to her and immediately smile as warmly as I could.
so she looks at me and goes back quickly , probably heading to her mother to tell.
One more thing about that child is that she was the most snitchy , f#cker to exist.
But at least she was gone now.
I turn back to the blonde boy behind me , my eyebrows forrown at the scene.
He was on his knees crying and holding onto the bushes.
"What on earth." I kneel down to take a good look at the crying face.
" Hck- hck- who are you?" He sobs.
He looked younger than me but could be a year gap or something , 15 for an example.
He was a little shorter than me I could tell.
" What do you think you're doing , crying in the palace's bushes Like that?" I speak , waiting for a reply from the small dude.
" Palace..?" He asks so I nod in approval.
As I thought he doesn't realize where he at.
I squint my eyes in analyzation then extend a hand and an arm to pull him up , almost slipping in my dress's ends.
But when he got up I lead him to the seats of the garden and sat him down.
He has now stopped crying but he was still sobbing a little so I sat beside him.
" What is it?" I ask.
Not that I cared , I barely knew him but still he's a human after all.
" I- just want her it's not fair" he rubs his eyes.
Is this about a lover?
" You can't be serious." I chuckle mockingly.
" You.. Do you know the punishment of going into a royal palace priority."
" I was just walking and I wasn't paying attention to where I wa-"
" AND staying there and hiding like a thief ." I raise an eyebrow "maybe you are a thief!" I continue.
" I didn't mean to!! I was just- I was just.. you're so cruel!" He cries and puts his face in his hands and I feel him tremble against my shoulder.
I look at him.
" What's your name?"
" Why should I tell you!" He cries again , peaking at me through his fingers on his face.
I gasp at this guy's audacity.
And he laughs a little and for some reason that made me feel a little relieved.
" It's Zake"
" Ah.. Zake , what a typical name for a male" I murmur against my breath.
Zake was quite the popular name that's why.
" So , who are you talking about?"
He sniffle and look at me.
"Well It's Sofia, she doesn't wanna see me again"
" Is it an ex?"
" Well yeah..i really loved her , this is exhausting , you know?"
" No" up until now all my love relationships were a#s but only because they were boring and always end up in a way or another of the two of us separating which became typical , not to mention I have to keep it a huge secret otherwise I'll get in big trouble but that's just the only fun part of it.
"People are quite boring" I dig up my shoed feet in the soil underneath them.
" Huh?!?" The boy cries and moves from his place.
" Why are you acting so shocked?"
" Well-"
Man I was getting tired of him sitting already.
"You shouldn't stress over someone because the fact that their gone , mean they were supposed to be just a chapter not a companion for the rest of life." I found myself advising him.
He looked a little troubled. so i extend my hand and ruffle his curly brown hair.
And that gesture seems to take him by surprise but he didn't move so I chuckle.
" pfft , why'd she discard such a cutie."
He stares at me with wide eyes then proceeds to try and hide his face.
I knew where this was heading and I guess I wont mind a little amusement for some time.
I couldn't help but to grin and he seemed to notice and get up.
" By the way , what's your name?" he asks.
I think a little before I spoke.
" ah , call me Ren"
" Okay Ren.."
" But.. what are you doing in the palace as well?"
" My parent was invited to visit their majesties."
" oh , I kind of guessed from your clothes but I guess , you're a noble huh?"
" Not like a big noble , my family is hardly heard of." I declare.
Surely everything I told this kid up until now was just one great lie.
We kept chatting for a while before he had to go.
Before he could walk , I open my mouth to ask a question.
" Hey so- how old are you?"
" Oh im 16"
Ah.. he was my age.
" what about you?"
" oh me? umm 17"
" oh! you're older than me?" he looked shocked as if I wasn't taller than him in height.
" You have to go , don't you?" I was kind of bored of him.
And he went home.
Sitting on my bed , at night , on the same day , I found myself speaking to the thick walls of my room.
" It seems like , every time I try to stay away from these type of things , another idiot appears"
I put my hand in the air , my hair trialing on the bed sheets and the small of yellowish orange light that in there , making my hand's shadow so big on the roof of my room.
I feel my eyelashes flutter as I narrow my eyes.
"I wouldn't call him an idiot that'd be cruel."
I smile as The memory of how this all started , came to mind.
