Chapter 8

*Logan Lacosco*

It was already Friday and I was more than glad to hear the last bell signaling that school was over. I gotta say, going back to school was awesome, but I wasn't really happy because of what happened to Isa. I tried talking to Principal Larson if they could bring back the scholarship but she said she can't do anything about it. I feel really bad for doing that and lying to the whole world about Isa.

"Prince Logan, over here." James waved at me snapping me out of my thoughts. I walked up to him and handed him my bag. He opened the door for me and slipped in as I tapped on my iPhone.

The limo pulled out of the parking lot and made its way to the Mansion where we were staying at. I texted my best friend asking if he can come over and he texted me back saying he will. I put my phone away and after fifteen minutes, the limo stopped and I got out only to be greeted by servants.

"Hello Prince Logan." One the maidservant greeted bowing her head in process with two other maidservants. I smiled back at them as they scurried away.

"Good afternoon Prince Logan. How was school?" George asked while we made our way inside to the meeting room.

"It was okay." I said bluntly.

"Okay? Okay? You spent your whole day at school and all you can say is okay."

"What do you want me to say George? Fine, it was delightful." I mocked as I felt something vibrate in my pocket. "I gotta take this." I announced walking away from George.

I looked at the caller ID before answering my phone. "Hey Chase." I answered.

"Hey man, are you at your mansion yet?" He asked and I could see him smirking from his tone.

"Yes, I'm in my mansion." I mimicked.

"Great, give me five minutes and I'll be right over. I gotta tell you something that happened at work today. It was hilarious." He chuckled.

"Can't wait to hear it." I rolled my eyes acting that I care.

"Kay man, see ya." He said as the line went dead. Classic Chase! I thought to myself making me chuckle.

"Who was that Prince?" George asked sneaking up on me. I jumped a few feet away from him putting my right hand to the left side of my chest where my heart was.

"Geez George, don't ever sneak up on me like that."

"I apologize." He said holding the laugh that was forming on his lips.

"Not funny!" I hissed. "Anyway, Chase is coming over. We'll be in the pool area."

"Great, just call me if you need anything." He said walking to the opposite direction. I made my way to the pool area and after ten minutes later, Chase came.

"You're late." I told him as I changed to my swimming trunks.

"Sorry man, just five minutes." He said taking his shirt off.

"Want some drink?" I asked nodding to the bottle of beers on the table.

"Nah man, I'm driving home, gotta keep safe. Imma go for a swim." He said as he dives in the pool before I could even reply.

After five minutes, he finally got out of the pool and took a seat beside me. He took a bottle of bear and took a sip.

"I thought you don't want to drink." I asked raising an eyebrow.

"I can't resist." He snickered as he took another gulp. "So, where's your princess?" Chase asked emphasizing the word princess.

"How should I know? Don't even start with that." I complained taking a big gulp of the beer.

"C'mon man, I mean you are engage and soon to get married, right? What's the purpose of getting married if you don't even care about her and what she do."

"Because I have to okay? That's the power of parents that children would never have." I replied bluntly.

"I know what you mean bro. I mean, my dad's forcing me to do all the business and stuff. I don't even want to be a business man." He complained lying down on the grass.

"Why are our parents so demanding and bossy? Why can't they be normal parents?" I sighed.

"I know right!" He exclaimed waving his hands in the air frustrated.

"So anyway, you were going to tell me something about what happened to you at work today." I reminded him changing the topic.

"Oh yeah. It was hilarious man." He remembered, a smile creeping up his lips. He sat up and he stared at the sky imagining what happened.

"So what happened?" I asked excitedly. Not.

"Okay, so there was this girl, a really hot girl. She's only seventeen but she was already applying for my dad's company." He started but I cut him off.

"Look Chase, I don't have the whole day to listen to this ridiculous story, just get to the point." I ordered.

"Fine. You are no fun sir." He pouted taking another sip of his drink. "Anyway, I was on my way to Phil's office and when I opened the door, BAM." Chase said clapping his hands together when he said 'Bam.' "I hit the girl right on the forehead. She stumbled to her butt. Then, I asked Phil to get her some ice. The girl and I talked and had a little argument, then, when she was about to leave, Phil opened the door slamming it to the exact same spot of her forehead." He said breaking into fits of laughter. "You should have been there man." He slapped me on my leg still laughing.

"So basically seeing other being get hurt is hilarious?" I asked shooting him a confuse look. "You're horrible man." I added.

"No, what's hilarious was the girl's reaction. She could have exploded." He managed to say in between laughs. "She was actually pretty cute. I'll have to give her a call when I find her a job. Hey, maybe you have a job offer for her. It would really save me some time. And you will make a girl very happy for sure." He suggested smiling innocently.

"Well, I do need a tutor...." I said slowly.

"Oh maybe she can tutor you. I saw her resume and it says there that she's a straight A student and she's the same grade as you."

"Really? Yeah sure, give her a call." I urged him.

When it was mid night, Chase decided to go home and I was left alone in the mansion by myself and the servants. My parents went to a business trip so the house was left to me. I went to my room slightly tipsy but still sober and took off my pants and shirt with only my boxer on. I slipped in my bed and tried to sleep but every time I close my eyes, all I could see was Isa's face and her gorgeous eyes. Ugh, I really have to stop thinking about her!
