Chapter 1: The Staring Prince

Wendsday

The sun was shining on the hardwood floors of the classroom. At the moment, The royal prep students were taking Magic 101. Today's assignment was to turn an apple gold. All the students were mostly suceeding. Amber did hers without a hassle. So did Hildegard. It took June and James a few tries. The fairies were hovering over the students, observing their work and being there if needed.

"Apple to Jewel, Juicy to Golden , Red to Yellow, and Fruit to Gem!" Sofia recited. Beams of light surrounded her apple, and to her delight, it turned gold. "I did it! I did it!" Sofia shouted in joy.

Amber turned to look at her sister's work and got up from her seat. "Nice job Sofia." She praised. "You just need one more thing." Amber stated as she took out her hankercheif. She picked up Sofia's golden apple and started to rub the hankercheif on it until it sparkled. "There!" she stated victoriously.

Sofia laughed. She was really happy. Her, James, Amber, and the others had graduated to the middle school division of Royal Prep. Sofia was now eleven years old. and her hair had grown a little bit longer. She now wore a lavender and pink shaded gown. Sadly James and Amber would be transfering to the high school division at the end of the year. Sofia sighed. Hildegard came over and praised Amber's shining skills. Sofia laughed stating that her sister was the Queen of Sparkle. It was then the hairs on Sofia's neck shot up and she quickly turned around.

"What's wrong Sofia?" Hildegard and Amber asked in unison.

"Nothing." Sofia stated turning back around. "I just get this feeling someone was staring at me."

Hildegard and Amber both sported alarmed looks and caught glances at the students like Sofia did moments before. Over the past few years, Amber had gotten really attached to and protective of Sofia. Hildegard and Clio, being Amber's best friends, mimicked her actions. June was talking with most of the princesses about her upcoming ball. Vivian, being done with her work, was in the back of the class painting. James and Zandar were having a heated debate with the other boys on why Cannons were better then the bow and arrow. Hildegard and Amber shared in an eyeroll at this. They continued to observe their classmates. Maya was, surprisingly, included in the people who were debating about cannons and arrows. Leena was also in the back having a heated discussion with Clio about Tiara choices. Mae was praticing her dancing in a secluded corner, and all the others were doing similar activities. Both princesses wondered who could be staring at Sofia.

Hildegard sighed and turned to Sofia. "Are you sure you felt someone staring a you Sofia?" She asked.

Sofia nodded her head. "Positive." she stated.

"Okay, First of all, a cannon can completley destroy an arrow!" James shouted.

"Agreed." Zandar stated.

Maya shook her head. "Maybe, but an Arrow has more accuracy then a cannon." she explained.

Both boys stared at her with look of confusion causing her to sigh in annoyance. "Meaning it has a better chance a hitting its target. The first time." She continued.

"That is a fact." June stated wanting this argument to be over.

"But the cannon has a bigger impact." Zandar stated.

"But an arrow is quick and easy to use, and takes out your opponent swiftly without blood shed." Prince Jin stated.

"Jin, you can't agree with her?" Khalid asked.

"But I do, and what we stated are facts, not opinions unlike you." in pointed out.

All Royal Prep students were now in the cafeteria, and Maya decided to join Prince James and Zandar at their table. The argument of cannons and arrows had been going on since first period, and frankly, Clio was getting tired of it. Most of the other people who were sitting at the table were in full agreement. "Guys, can't you come to some sort of truce?" Sofia asked, only to be ignored. She sighed and started to play with her lunch.

"We are stating facts!" Zandar yelled.

"ENOUGH!" Clio yelled slamming her fist on the table. At that everyone started to eat the food in silence. "Better." Clio stated taking a sip of her tea. Desmond chuckled at his friends craziness.

"Ooh! Lets talk about my ball. The theme is Glitter! Everything will be sparkly, even the outfits the guests wear!" She stated earning groans from the guys. "Oh suck it up!" She stated.

"Yeah, I like guys who like to show a little sparkle on their person." Hildegard stated.

"Um...Zandar, James, What are you doing?" Sofia asked with a giggle.

Both Princes had immediately started whisper arguing to eachother after Hildegard's statement.

"Nothing Sofia." Zandar stated."Just that James better sleep with one eye open in three years."

James laughed and continued to eat his food, while the rest of the table sported confused looks. Again, The hairs on Sofia's neck rose and she turned around, finding nothing again. James and Vivian, noticing this, Gave Sofia looks of concern. Amber noticed this and voiced the reason for Sofia's behavior.

"So you've been getting this feeling all day?" Clio asked looking around the cafetera.

"Yes." Sofia stated. "Like someone is staring at me."

All the people at the table started mirroring Clio's actions.

"I have an idea!" June stated, causing everyone to turn to her in anticipation and curiosity. "You've said you got this feeling all day? How many times?"

Sofia put her index finger on her chin in thought. "About Six?" She stated.

"Okay, since you say someone is staring at you, Who was there everytime you got that feeling?" Jun asked. Sofia hummed.

"We were with her each time." Hildegard stated."And everyone was in the room."

"Are you sure there was someone you didn't count?" James asked, now interested.

"Who could we have missed?" Amber asked in confusion.

While everyone continued to talk Vivian admired the outdoor courtyard, and the architecture of the cafeteria. She was staring at the pillars that were decorated in gold , white, red, and blue paint, when she saw Prince Hugo reading a book. Ever since the championships, he never really talked to anybody. He was still part of the Flying Durby team with Sofia and James, but barely talked to them. She wondered why. Vivian knew how it felt to feel alone and awkward. She wondered if Hugo felt the same. Which is why she got up, and walked over to his table, where he was sitting by himself.

Hugo, noticing that another human being was standing beside him, looked up. "May I help you with something?" He asked.

"You're welcome to join us at our table." Vivian stated shyly.

"No, thank you." Hugo stated going back to his book.

Vivian, being discouraged, gave a small smile. "Okay, then. Have a nice day." She stated walking back to her table where most of the members were in deep discussion about who was the person staring at Sofia. Sofia, noticing her friends change in mood, gently grabbed Vivian by the arm, and sat her down beside her.

"What's wrong?" Sofia asked in concern.

"Oh, its nothing." Vivian stated. "Hugo just looked a little lonely that's all. I thought I would try to invite him over here, because I know what that feels like."

Sofia smiled and nodded in understanding. "Don't give up." She advised."I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get through to him."

"Do you talk to him at all during practice?" Vivian asked.

"Actually, I think James and I are the only ones Hugo ever speaks to during practice." Sofia stated. "Other than his older brother and father."

"Brother and Father?" Vivian asked.

"Yeah." Sofia stated."Ever since we won the Flying Crown when he was nine and I was seven, They've been sticking to him like glue. Always giving him pointers during practice. Presenting new drills that they believe he needs to run through. Its amazing."

"Amazing how?" Amber asked.

Both princesses jumped, not noticing all the people at the table staring at them in interest. Sofia fought a blush, and succeded, While Vivian hid behind her napkin.

"I understand what Sofia means." James stated. "Those drills his family comes up with are really difficult and complex. Takes alot out of the rider and his horse. But Hugo and Eliza-"

"Electra." Sofia corrected.

"Electra." James stated, correcting himself. "But Hugo and Electra seem to go through it no problem."

"Don't you guys have practice today?" Zandar asked.

"Yeah." James stated. "And we have the relay race on saturday. I start off the race. Hugo's anchoring."

"Are you participating Sofia?" Anmber asked, resting her chin in her palms.

Sofia giggled in joy, much to the confusement of the others minus James.

"This is where the cool part comes in." James stated."The track we're flying on is really big. It's known that some flyers lose confidence less than a minute into the game. So this year, it was decided that another member from the team gets to fly side by side by the four racers to cheer them on, and guess who was chosen."

Sofia put her two thumbs up and pointed to herself. Everyone laughed and clapped.

"Good for you, Sofia."Maya stated.

The hairs on Sofia's neck were acting up again and she turned around. This time, everyone immediately started to scan the cafeteria, but no luck.

"I wonder who it is." Jun stated.

"You think its guy?" Clio asked in a teasing tone.

Sofia was not able to hold back her blush this time, nor her amusement at the reactions from her older siblings. James immediately went into big brother mode, and simply stated NO guy was good enough for his two sisters. Amber, who rolled her eyes at James statement, stated that if he wasn't confident enough to tell her his feelings face to face, he wasn't worthy. Sofia, however, was still stuck on practice. She stood up and walked to the other side of the table and gave bother her older siblings big hugs.

"I'll be right back." She stated. "And don't lose hope Vivian."

Vivian smiled and nodded her head, quickly deniying the statements on how she might have a crush on Hugo. Sofia laughed at this and exited the cafeteria.

Practice

Today, they were working on speed and hurdles. Hugo and Electra manuvered through the floating hoops and went over the hurdles. When they landed they were met by the awed stares of some princesses who came to watch. Hugo smiled in appreciation and laughed when one girl swooned and fainted.

"You're laughing like you're proud of that last run." His elder brother stated as Hugo dismounted his horse. Hugo groaned.

"You're brother is right." His father stated. "It took you five minutes and fifty eight point two seconds to finish that. Run through it again."

Hugo sighed and climbed back on Electra and they took flight. They did it again and his father still wasn't sastisfied. After two hours of being forced to do the same run they were given a ten minute break.

Hugo dismounted Electra and led her to the stables. As soon as they were out of sight, Electra collapsed in exhaustion. Hugo kneeled down and ran his fingers through her mane. "Just rest girl." He whispered. It was then both boy and horse heard a whistle coming from the back of the stables that led to a field that was used for school picnics. Hugo and Electra looked at eachother as someone whistled again. The horse stood up and walked with Hugo out the back of the stables. They were met with a clear field. Over the years dandelions had grown and now the whole field was covered in them. They heard a rustle to the side of them, and turned sharply, ready to fight. Only to be met with the smiling faces of Sofia and Minimus sitting on a blanket with a picnic basket, two barrels of water, and three full bags of oats. Hugo gave Electra a look. The horse rolled her eyes and pushed the boy forward as she went to join Minimus in eating. Hugo cautiously sat on the blanket. Sofia laughed, opened the picnic basket, and handed him a turkey sandwhich. Hugo took it and started to eat.

"She's a sweet girl, that one." Electra stated.

"Yeah, I know." Minimus stated. "Truth be told, she's been worried about Hugo for a while. Today seemed the perfect time to do...well you know...this."

Electra laughed."She has a kind heart." She stated. "Hugo's been really stressed lately. I think having Sofia there to cheer him on would be good."

"Well, they do consider themselves partners." Minimus stated.

Electra hummed."That they are." She stated.

Hugo gratefully took the juice Sofia offered him. "Thank you." He stated. "But why?"

Sofia laughed in response. "We're teammates silly. And partners. Most importantly we're friends, and as your friend I wanted to do something to help you relax after those amazing runs of yours." she stated.

Hugo laughed bitterly."Those weren't amazing." He stated. "They were sub-par."

"Is that you, or your father and brother speaking?" Sofia asked handing him another sandwhich.

Hugo sighed looking at the food. "My brother can do that and more in two minutes or less." He stated.

Sofia, noticing his change of mood, took his hand. "You are not your brother." She stated. "You're Hugo. That course is really long. Adults can barely finish it in twenty minutes, yet you can do it in five. That's pretty amazing."

Hugo let out another bitter laugh."Yeah right." He stated."My turns are slow, and my speed is lacking."

Sofia huffed in annoyance."Is that you, or them talking." She asked.

Hugo sighed, removed his hand from Sofia's grasp, and took another bite out of his sandwhich. Sofia sighed and took the hand back. "Hugo, you're a great rider. One of the best. Next to James and I of course. And your turns are faster than ours, an-"

"I know you're just trying to make me feel better Princess Sofia." Hugo stated. "But its having the opposite effect."

Sofia sighed in defeat and gave a small smile. "Okay then." She stated. "What about running through it with me?"

Hugo gave a small sincere laugh. "You're a great racer Sofia, but i'll stick with Axel and father. Even though they are monumentally annoying, they know what they're doing. Its enough to know you're supporting me."

"Doesn't feel like enough, but if you say so, i'm happy." Sofia replied with a smile.

Minimus and Electra watched the scene with smiles. Unknown to the two royals, James was leaning against the back entrance to the stables.
