Chapter 31: Frowned Upon

It didn't come to any surprise to me that Sally was a no-show. Mr. Ledger didn’t take the news too well and blamed me for it. To add insult to injury, he pointed out more flaws of my appearance and told me if I didn’t get my crap together, that I wasn’t worthy of his son.

To be honest, I never imagined I’d end up entangled with a prince, if that’s what I should call it. I was having my doubts as Elijah acted distant since he’d returned.

It wasn’t until Mr. Ledger left the academy that Elijah came back to my room. “Hi.”

“Hey.” I pushed open the door further. “Want to come in?”

He stepped inside, keeping his eyes on the floor. “I’m sorry.”

I closed the door before turning to glance at him. “About what?”

“My dad…” he shook his head, sighing. “He’s full of shit, if anything. There’s nothing wrong with your hair, your face, or your clothing.”
