Pearl, who had been reading books the whole time, finally decided to come out and see what the other two girls were doing. She found Ava engrossed on her cellphone playing games while Akira was in her room singing loudly with her ears covered by headphones.
She sat next to Ava on the sofa, "You like playing games, huh? Can you teach me how we could play together?" She said while peeking into Ava's cellphone. She saw that Ava was chatting with someone instead of playing games.
Ava was startled and swiftly hid her phone under her butt. She wasn't ready to tell her cousin about big brother yet. She was afraid that Pearl might tattle on her to their parents.
"Why did you hide your phone? Are you hiding something? Hmmm, let me see what it is?" Pearl tried to reach Ava's phone under her. But Ava was quick to grab it and run to her room. Once inside, she quickly locked the door, so Pearl could not follow her.
Pearl thought it was funny. She wasn't serious about checking Ava's cellphone, and she was only being playful. Once Ava was gone, she got up and decided to go to Akira's room.
Akira was singing and dancing to the music when Pearl walked in. Her voice was good, and her moves were excellent. It reminded Pearl of the famous girl idol group she's been following.
Since Akira has headphones on, she couldn't hear that someone had come into her room. So she continued having fun without a care in the world.
Pearl tapped Akira's shoulder to get her attention. Akira was startled, and her hands flew and hit Pearl smack on her head.
"OUCH!!!" Exclaimed Pearl while she was massaging her head.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" The startled Akira said while her eyes were wide as a saucer.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know that someone came in and when you tapped me..." She didn't get to finish what she's going to say. They heard a knock on the door.
Chupsy was informing them that they needed to get ready because dinner would be served in thirty minutes.
===
Fifteen minutes later, the three girls were ready. Ava was wearing a simple short sleeve summer dress with flowers printing and sandals. Akira was in a white top and blue jeans and tennis shoes, still with her headphones hung over her shoulders. Pearl was wearing a pink top and a jumpsuit over and brand-name flip-flops. All three girls were gorgeous in their own ways.
As the girls happily chat on the way to the dining hall, they run across Prince Edmund and his assistant, who planned to escort them.
Prince Edmund stopped in his tracks when he saw the three beautiful young ladies. He was left speechless. Never in his entire life has he been acquainted with such beauties. Not one, but three; He couldn't pick and choose between all three of them; now, he had a dilemma.
Akira was the first to see Prince Edmund, and her bubbly personality kicked in. She waved at him as they approached while greeting him at the same time.
"Hello, there! Your highness!" Shouted Akira while showing her pearly white teeth.
Ava and Pearl looked straight ahead and also saw who was coming their way and greeted him as well as they reached where he stood still.
"Your highness, how are you?" Greeted Ava looking him straight in his eyes. His heart fluttered a little seeing Ava looking at him straight up.
"I-I'm fine! Thank you for asking." He responded shyly while fidgeting a little.
Pearl only smiled at him as a greeting and didn't say a word. Instead, she hooked her arms to both Ava and Akira as if she was afraid.
Prince Edmund saw this and felt a little disappointed. He kind of thought Pearl is a shy girl, but he never thought that she would be afraid of him. So to make her feel at ease, he turned to her and gave her his undivided attention.
"Miss Grant, how do you like the Royal Academy so far?"
"Huh? Are you speaking to me?" Her eyes were now wide open and looking straight at Prince Edmund, who had the sweetest smile plastered on his lips.
"Yes! Of course, I'm speaking to you. Who else here has the last name, Grant?" He bantered and started laughing out loud.
Ava and Akira looked at Pearl first before they too began laughing. Not as loud as Prince Edmund was laughing but silently.
"Oh, I'm sorry! You're right. I'm the only one here with that last name. My bad!" She then bowed her head and started kicking an imaginary stone.
"If you ladies are on the way to the dining room, do you mind if I escort you there?" Prince Edmund decided to change the subject.
All three girls nodded, and soon they were on the way to the dining hall, chatting happily and enjoying their conversation. But, unknown to them, Crystal felt as if she was eating vinegar as she watched them enjoy each other's company.
She was on the way to Prince Edmund's quarter to ask him to accompany her to the dining hall. Unfortunately, she did not know that he had left early to meet with the three girls. She was not a happy camper, and she was up to no good from the look on her face.
Crystal hid as they passed by, and once they were further away, she then followed them without letting them know. A plan was forming in her head. But, first, she would have to make sure that the three girls would have the worst time in the Royal Academy, so they would go back home where they came from, away from Prince Edmund.
===
All the students and faculty members were already seated in their prospective seats when they arrived. A faculty member greeted them and ushered them to their assigned seats.
Unfortunately, the girls were sitting separately from the boys. This made Prince Edmund not happy with the arrangement.
He didn't mind it before since he was not interested in any of the girls in the whole academy. However, it was now a whole other story, now that there were three girls whose hearts he was set to conquer.

Instead of sitting on his assigned seat, Prince Edmund walked toward the head table where the headmistress and other high-ranking faculty members were seated. He regally stood in front and looked straight at the headmistress without blinking an eye.
Ms. Williams was busy speaking with the guidance counselor, Ms. Shannon H., about the new students when she saw someone approaching in the corner of her eyes. She stopped for a moment and acknowledged Prince Edmund.
"Good evening, your highness! Is there something I can do for you?" Looking at him curiously as to why he would want to speak with her before dinner was served. She guessed that it had something to do with the three girls that walked in with him. He had never done that in the past, to be associated with any of the students.
Still with a confident look plastered on his face, "I would like to request to be seated at the same table as Ava, Pearl, and Akira. Is that possible?" His voice was crisp and clear, loud enough to be heard by everyone in the dining hall.
Everyone stopped and gazed at the directions of the head table.
Ms. Williams smiled secretly, "Your highness, you know the rules about the seating arrangements. I don't need to remind you, do I?" However, deep inside her, she knew she would give in no matter what Prince Edmund asked. This is because they are one of the biggest supporters of the Royal Academy.
"I know the rules. However, that is why I'm asking if it's possible if I requested it. So, can I or not?" He said it with a clenched jaw while staring straight at Ms. Williams.
Ms. Williams felt an increase in her heart rate. This was the first time since Prince Edmund entered the academy that he had made a request, and with that tone of voice? There was nothing she could do but give in. She didn't want to make an even bigger scene, knowing she wouldn't win.
"Very well, then! You may do as you wish, but this will be the only time. From now on, you are in charge of making the three girls feel comfortable and enjoy their studies here at the Royal Academy. Can you do that?" She said sternly. She still needed to show the other children that she was still the authority, and she's only letting him have his way because his family was helping the Academy.
Prince Edmund made a slight bow, thanked the headmistress for her kindness, and happily walked towards where the girls were seated. All eyes followed him while he walked with his back straight and head up high.
When he reached the table where the girls were seated, he stopped for a moment. He was trying to figure out which side he should sit on. Akira's on Ava's left, while Pearl's on the right. It's between Akira or Pearl, but he would rather sit next to Ava. He was in a dilemma.
The three girls looked up to see what he was doing. When they saw him just standing there in deep thought, Akira had to ask.
"Your highness, is there something wrong? We heard that the headmistress allowed you to sit with us. That's wonderful! Why aren't you sitting yet?" She swiftly made way and moved closer to Ava to let him sit next to her. Her pearly white teeth showed brightly while her eyes were twinkling while she spoke.
Prince Edmund looked at the girl on the other side, and the contour of his face soured. There's no way in hell that he would sit next to her. So, instead, he said, "why don't you move a little to this side." He put his two hands on Akira's shoulder and pushed her towards the left, and squeezed-in in the middle between Akira and Ava.
"Now we're all set!" He said with a grin on his handsome young face while he put both of his arms on both girls' shoulders.
Ava was quick to remove his arms on her shoulder. She then turned her head and gave him a glare while her brows almost collided with each other.
"Who gave you the permission to lay your hands on me? Do that again, and you will be sorry for the rest of your life." She then got up and switched seats with Pearl.
Pearl cried out silently. "No!!!" While looking at Ava with her puppy eyes. "Cousin, I don't want to sit next to him." She whispered pleadingly.
"Please, let's switch seats. If my father finds out, I will be in trouble." Pearl pleaded; tears were threatening to escape while she was holding on to Ava's arms.
Ava looked at Prince Edmund and then at Pearl; she shook her head, disgusted. She also didn't want to sit next to him. Her father is as strict as President Grant. However, she was much sturdier than her second cousin. She could kick Prince Edmund's behind if need be. So she decided to switch back to make Pearl feel at ease.
However, she pointed at Prince Edmund with her fist, letting him know to behave or else.
Prince Edmund knew when to behave. "I apologize if I offended you in any way. It was just a mere friendly gesture. I will not do it again without your permission." He said politely, it showed on his face that he was sincere, and Ava felt terrible.
"Noted and accepted. Don't ever do it again, as I said, and you will never get my permission to put your arms on my shoulder, ever! Got that!" Ava said sternly to Prince Edmund.
Akira was stunned and unable to utter a word. She was just listening and watching the whole time. She was about to butt in and say something, but dinner was served, and they had to behave.
Everyone ate in silence. Once the dinner was over, Ava quickly got up and said goodbye, leaving without waiting for Pearl or Akira.
She wanted to get back to the safety of her room and call her father. But, she still needed to get a better internet connection, no matter what. It was hard to play games on cell phones, and she wanted to chat with her big brother. It's been long overdue.
