Allura's POV:

"Her fiancé" Aden answers. My heart sinks to the pit of my stomach to his response that's my reality now. Pedro turns to look at me the look in his eyes, the look of disbelief. "Princess I will take my leave you should get some rest. I will arrange for us to meet another time." I am so embarrassed right now this so not a good impression. "Yes Your Majes-" "Allura are you awake?" Lilly enters the room and stops talking when she sees Aden. 

They look in their eyes looks like how I had imagined lovers to look at each other in books.

"Your Majesty" she acknowledges him and he bows in response. "Princess Bright. I will take my leave now." he exits the room. Pedro just leaves without apologizing, jerk. "How are you feeling sister?" Lilly approaches the bed cupping my face to see if I have been marked in anyway. "I am fine sister, no need to mother me. But you can walk me to my room." She rolls her eyes at me before helping me stand properly and we start walking.

"Do you think I ruined my first impression with Aden?" I know she would never lie to me and she always gives the best advice she will know how to fix it. "No. Aden will understand he isn't heartless besides it's not like you looked horrible on purpose." she laughs. I am sure that she still loves him. We reach my room in no time "Do you love him?" she leaves my hand and just stares at me. "Allura I don't even know what love is and I most definitely think I will never find that in this life. Beside you know very well that it's rare for a royal to marry for love."

She speaks no lie and I know first hand our parents didn't marry for love but they did end up loving each other but not all arranged marriages end like that. "Goodnight sister" "Goodnight." and I head in my room. "Allura are you okay?" Ruby asks from inside her blankets. "Yeah I am fine" I change into my night gown. "Who kicked the ball anyway?" she asks half asleep. "Pedro." She awakens at the mention of his name. "What?? Did he apologize?" she sit up in her bed. "Of course not, you know he doesn't do that." she knows what he is like. After all we both had a crush on him mine lasted longer than hers though.

"I can't believe him, you think because he is next in line for his kingdom he would mature but no." I always gave him a benefit of the doubt but eventually got tired. "I mean for all we know Miguel could be the one to take the throne, I mean they are twins so they only decide next year when they turn 18." though the boys were twins they were nothing alike in all ways from their faces to their personalities. They are just polar opposites from each other you would never say they are twins.

"Right. That will be the biggest decision in history they had better pick right. Anyway goodnight." "Goodnight Ruby"

Next Day

I woke up with a slight headache but I took some medicine to help. Getting ready for my classes was okay I had to dress up extra because my first class is etiquette and it requires to be dressed at your most best, I put on my best red gown and tie my dreadlocks in a neat bun and a plain tiara to go with my dress. I walk into class to see if there might be someone I know but I spot no one.

"Looks like we are going to be fancy together Lura." Miguel whispers from behind me causing me to finch a little bit. "Miguel don't sneak up on me like that." I joke. He always does this. He smiles and I notice the suit he is wearing a very dark shade of blue that's close to a black color. He looks so mature now from when we were younger.

"Alright settle down students. I am Miss Alice and I hope we will be respectful to one another" Ms Alice is a great lecturer it's just that etiquette can be boring at times. "In today's class we will be focusing on Dance and Grace." Great.

"Now find a partner so we can start." Every prince starts scrambling around finding a princess to pair with. They all seem to be focused on Miguel who is next me. "So shall we be a pair?" He asks with his hand out and his signature charm smile.

I can feel everyone's eyes on me. Time to start standing out and Miguel is definitely the right person to help me score some credits. "We shall." I take his hand and we move closer to the other students. "Right then let's start with my favorite the waltz, and please dance with dignity and grace but I want to see everyone in sync." Ms Alice turns on the music and everyone starts dancing.

I have not always been good at dancing I hated it at some point. "Your dancing has become great, I remember how much you hated dancing when we were younger. All you could do was spin" He spins me around enough for me to pass out. He is the reason I kept on dancing because he encouraged me.

☆FLASHBACK☆
Age 8
  At Junior Prep

"Allura I know you don't have a partner but you still have to follow the steps you look like a disaster." Ms Dylan states and with tears in my eyes I try focusing.

No prince even bothered picking me since everyone knows I am a horrible dancer. I keep on tripping on my own feet. I stop to wipe my tears and catch my breath. "I can help you dance." A boy approaches me and takes my hand. I look up to his face and he is one of the new boys.

"But I can't dance." I say while looking down at his shoes. "I also didn't know how to until my mother taught me and now I am the best. I will make you the best as well." I look up to see him smiling so hard it looked like his cheeks could pop any second. But it made me smile as well.

"Okay" Two seconds in I had already stepped on his foot, but he just laughed it off and carried on. "When I come forward go backward and we will continue doing the opposite of the other" I start doing a little better. "Good now when we move we continue doing what we were doing but we must never separate because we are meant to be together or something my mom said" I laugh but nod.

That was my first good dance, even though I still kept on triping. "Thank you Smiley" I thank him but realise I don't know his name I only know his brother's name, so Smiley was what came to mind. "Smiley??" he asks. "Well I don't know your name and Smiley suits you because you have a perfect smile." And then he smiles. He is very cute.

"My name is Miguel but thanks for the nickname Allura." He knows my name? "You know my name?" I asks shyly. "Yes I like learning names." It's very rare that someone knows my name. "Well done Miguel you dance great." Ms Dylan compliments him.

"I know I am the best, and now Allura is also the best." I smile because I am never the best at anything ever. "Yes you taught her well." We carry on dancing as she moves to other students. "Let me spin you." He spins me and I start smiling ever so brightly while giggling a little. "I guess spinning is your favorite move." he spins me again. "Miguel I am getting dizzy" he stops and we both laugh.

The bell rings and everyone starts running out for the next class. "Bye keep on spinning Lura" And I never stopped.

☆End of FLASHBACK☆

"I never stopped spinning Smiley." I missed having him goof around everyday. "Lady Bright, Sir Hailsting well done I am loving your sync and grace. You two work well together." Ms Alice compliments. The Alert sounds for the next lecture. "Out you go students." We leave out the class. "See you around Lura." And he walks off to his next class.

The whole day goes smoothly Ruby had all the same lectures as me until my last lecture in Leadership. I walk in class and immediately spot Pedro seated next to Cara. The only seat open is the one in front of them. I walk to the seat and he stares at me and my legs get wobbly, this used to happen years ago so what is happening now.

I reach my seat and as I am about to sit I go crashing on the floor. The seat was pulled from under me by Cara. And everyone starts laughing. "Oops sorry Allura are you alright." This scrab she is the worst but she is exactly Pedro type typically of his choice.

☆Flashback☆
Age 13
Junior Academy

"It's valentine's day. Do you have your letter Allura today is the day." Ruby practically yells out for the whole world to hear. "Hush Ruby everyone will hear." I try calming her down.

"Sorry it's just that you have to give the letter before Pedro and Miguel leave in the coming days." Pedro is leaving to join the Atar Academy and I might never see him again. I stayed up all night perfecting my love letter. Today is the day. The sun is shining I haven't tripped and I have on my favorite color red so it's my lucky day.

The whole day went by but I haven't gotten the chance to give him the letter he was surrounded by all the princesses today, but I know he is alone during Ratchball practice. I make my way down the stairs and I am caught off guard when I see Pedro and his friends at the end of the staircase.

My legs start wobbling and I try quietly passing by but at the last three stairs I trip and fall right at Pedro's feet. "Woah, someone is not use to having grace huh?" They start laughing even Pedro I can't believe.

"Hey isn't she one your admirers?" There is silence and tears well up in my eyes. "She is my brother's friend and you know me and my brother don't have the same preferences he seems not to care about class but I care. Let's go we are getting late." Pedro ends his sentence and they all walk off.

Left all alone on the floor I let my tears fall from my eyes.

Then I wipe my tears off my face and take out the letter from my purse and I tear it to shreds. And that's how my crush died and I buried it there for good.

☆End of FLASHBACK☆

It doesn't surprise me at all his taste because I guess I will never be up to his class. I get up and kick Cara's foot from the chair getting a death stare in return and I smile.

"Settle down everyone" Headmistress Phina walks in and everyone obeys her wishes. "For the work you will be doing this semester you will be paired." "Do we pair ourselves?" Cara screams her question out without permission to speak. Headmistress Phina stares at the class trying to figure out who yelled out the question.

"I don't know which undisciplined snob yelled at me just now but the answer is no. I will pass around a hat and the boys have to pick a name." She goes around the class and once everyone has picked then the boys open the scroll of paper.

"Pepe what did you pick?" Cara asks in her low pitched voice. He stays quiet for a while. "What who is it?" She asks again.

"Allura."
