Chapter 1: Best Friends
Waiting.... He turned around the corner. "Boo!" She yells as she jumps out at him.
"AHHHH!'" He screams.
Hi, I'm Ash! And that girly scream, that came from Jared, my best friend. "Woah!" I shouted as I got tackled to the ground.
And the guy who just tackled me, that's Nick, my other best friend.
"Hahaha!" We all started laughing as we stood up.
Yeah, these are my two best friends. Nick and Jared are actually twins and the three of us are best friends. Even though the two of them look a lot alike, they're also very different, and I can easily tell them apart, unlike a lot of other people. We've known each other since we were young, and we immediately bonded. The three of us have been stuck like glue ever since. Heck, we even know each other's families. We know each other so well, or so we thought.
I'm Ash, I'm a 5'4" girl with long wavy purple hair and sparkling green eyes. I'm short and skinny with curves. Nick and Jared are both tall and skinny, but Nick is just a bit taller than Jared. They are skinny, but still a bit muscular. Nick has medium brown hair and sweet brown eyes with a gentle smile that can kill. Jared has dark brown hair and deep brown eyes with a sweet smile.
We're running up and down the halls at their house just laughing like crazy. "Hahaha!" We all laughed.
"Hey kids! Be careful please!" Their mom shouts at us from downstairs.
"Don't worry mom! It's fine!" Jared yells back.
"Sorry Mrs. Koast! We'll be careful!" I reassured her.
We finally settled down and head downstairs for dinner.
The boys went and sat down at the table while I head to the kitchen. "Don't worry! I'll set the table!" I smiled to their mother as I grab the plates.
"Oh! Thanks, Ash. You don't have to do that." She smiled sweetly.
"Don't worry, I love helping you!" I reassured her with a smile as I finished setting the table.
I walked back into the kitchen. "Do you need help with anything else?" I asked her.
"Oh, Ash. You're too sweet, you know that? You have the manners of a princess! I really do love having you around." She smiled sweetly at me as I laughed awkwardly.
"Of course! You know I love to help you out!" I smiled back as I started grabbing the food and taking it to the dining room.
We set the food on the table and sat down to have a nice dinner.
The boys looked around confused. "Where's dad?" Nick asked his mom.
"Uhhhhh. He's working late." She says suspiciously.
The boys just looked at her knowingly and I sat there confused. I didn't understand what that meant, but I decided not to ask.
The next day at school
"Hey, guys!" I shouted as I walked into the cafeteria.
"Hey, Ash! How was band class?" Nick asked sweetly. And yes, I'm a bit of a band nerd, but I also wrestle, so I'm not that much of a nerd.
"It was great! I got a solo in band and chorus! Can you believe that?!" I exclaimed, excited.
"Wow! Congrats Ash!" Nick smiled brightly.
"That's our little nerd for ya." Jared teases.
These boys always tease me, but it's okay because I tease them back!
"I may be a nerd, but at least I have talent! Unlike your boring ass!" I exclaimed, teasing him back.
"Hey, if you idiots are done bickering, can we have lunch now?" Nick joked.
"Yes! I'm starving!' I exclaimed as I slouched down into my chair.
"Anyway, we're going back to our place after school, right?" Jared asked.
"Of course!" I shouted, ready to get out of school and go back to their place.
Later, after school
I followed the twins into their house. "We're home!" they shouted to their mom.
"Hey boys, don't forget about that special event this weekend! Make sure you boys have your suites!" She tells them seriously.
I was confused as they always tell me about any party they're having and any event they go to.
"Event? What event?" I looked at them confused as I came in from around the corner. I saw the twins both turn to look at me. They looked uneasy, like they didn't know what to say.
"Huh?! Ash?! I didn't see you come in!" She looked at me shocked.
"What? What's going on?" i asked, starting to get annoyed.
"Well boys, I think it's time we told her." Mrs. Koast said to the twins.
"What?!" Nicks' eyes widened in shock. "You're really going to let us tell her?!" Jared questioned his mother.
"Tell me what?! I want to know what's going on!" At this point I was getting frustrated, and I threw my hands on top of my head.
"Well, go ahead and tell her." Their mom beckons.
"Well?" Nick starts, not knowing where to start as he looks at his brother. "We... are Royalty." Jared says nervously, and they all look at me, worried, and wondering how I'm going to react to this unexpected news.
"What?! You never told me.... How come I never knew?" I looked at them shocked. This changes everything.
