Chapitre 11: Chapter 11: Sneaking Suspicions

"Why though? I mean she offered... and I think it's very generous and kind of her to offer it." I said to Lawrence confused as to why he is denying the invitation.

"Lawrence," Meghan spoke up in a serious tone a polar opposite to her usual cheery self. "Do you have a problem with me or something? If I did something wrong.. please let me know... I really don't mean to offend you in any way.." She says apologizing to Lawrence.

I turn to Lawrence as his eyebrows deepen and open his arms, grabbing onto me and starts to whisper in my ear his intentions.

"I don't suggest showing up in her social media," Lawrence whispered into my ears as Meghan in the back is awaiting for Lawrence's answer to her question.

"Why? Is there a problem with me, making an appearance in one of her social media? I though a groufie was something friends do to store memories of each other?" I objected to Lawrence's request of me... it would be awfully rude to dismiss a friendly gesture from someone I just met today...

"Listen, you know how I said before that Meghan has a lot of followers... if all those people see the selfie of you in there. Some of them can recognize that the princess of the Kingdom of Aurora is in her photo which can blow your cover if you want to live a normal life." Lawrence explained his good intentions to me.

"YOU'RE RIGHT!" I shouted in agreement with Lawrence's plan. I mean it would be rude for me to decline the offer... since it's a sign of friendship... but it would ultimately blow my cover if what Lawrence said was something I need to take into account.

"Oh sorry... I don't think we would be able to take that groufie with you... our parents kind of forbade us to be showing my face online... saying something about it will put our lives in danger when we display our current whereabouts to strangers." Lawrence explains for me to Meghan who seems to be okay with it...

Although shivers run down her spine when Lawrence mentioned our excuse.. as if.. she had seen a ghost just like last time when I saw her checking her phone... it was that same pale white terrified expression.. it was only for a brief second before reverting back to her smiling self again...

"Oh, bummer!" She giggled. "It's fine guys! Let's go ahead and have that dinner! Do you guys want to go to a fast food place or what? Which restaurant do we go to? I heard they're a lot of restaurants near the airport." Meghan says to both of us.

I turn to Lawrence. "Well, where do you think should we eat at?"

Lawrence said that he's the one doing our meal plans so I guess it's his decision to choose what we will be eating for each meal. He took it upon himself also to schedule a meal plan for the both us once we reach our living quarters in Tomoki High.

"Hm... well... I suppose we can eat on a fast-food restaurant." He gets closer to me for a whisper. "This would be good for you to experience a commoner life. Fast food is a lot different than fine dining and the food we usually have."

"Oh... I see... alright then! I'm excited!" I said enthusiastically to Lawrence.. as I stomp my feet happily.. brushing my hair in delight.

"Uh... do you guys just have a habit of whispering to each other in the middle of a conversation or... ya.. cause you guys have been doing this for like the entire time I've been talking to the both of you," Meghan interrogated us... asserting herself in our little conversation.

"I'm sorry... I do believe that it is very rude of us to do that... we are just not aware of a lot of social norms nowadays... well since we've never come out of our house until now...so we don't really have any idea as to what is socially acceptable or not... I do hope our actions do not make you think ill of us. " Lawrence apologized bowing his head at Meghan. Meghan snickered a little patting his head. "I guess it's okay. Anyways let's go! I'll lead the way since you said you guys are new here right!" She giggled as she walked ahead of us to the elevator.

Following her like little ducklings following the mother duck... I can feel Lawrence's presence coming closer to me... as we reach each other side by side. He then asks. "What do you think of Meghan?" saying it in a lower voice as for Meghan not to hear...

"Meghan seems to be a nice girl. She helped me find my way when I got lost in the hallways.. although I don't understand why you seem to be a bit rude towards her and a bit cold and distant to her.. she's just trying to be nice Lawrence." I answered him telling him that he should be a bit nicer to Meghan who's making an effort to get along with us.

"Something tells me that this girl is nothing but trouble... I know I'm not a very tech-savvy person. However from what I heard, "Meghan James" is one of the people that you should watch out for... and I have a sneaking suspicion that girl is hiding something from us..." Lawrence shared his concerns with me. Saying about how he has a sneaking suspicion about Meghan.

"How would you know that though? I mean this is the first time we've met. Can't you just give her the benefit of a doubt and at least learn how she truly acts first before we jump into conclusions?" I said to him. I mean it's rather rude to assume someone without truly giving them a chance for them to see how they truly act you know?"

"Well I suppose you're right princess... but just so you know I don't trust this girl..." Lawrence tells me. I flicked his nose, making him growl cutely at me. I smiled and giggled at him as he hides his red blushing face.

As we continued walking while Meghan is 1 meter away from us. We continued whispering to each other.. while Meghan remained silent throughout the whole journey to the elevator... until.. a sound of an alarm of some sort ringed... It was coming from Meghan herself.. the sound is strongest in her area.

What could that alarm be? Is that something?
