The only thought on Alex’s mind as he ran was that he was an idiot for not waking up sooner-----until he slammed full-force into someone just outside of the science building. He was knocked back and fell onto his behind, papers scattering around him and his glasses slightly crooked. “Ow…” He mumbled as he fixed his glasses and looked up at whoever he had bumped into. A complete stranger, who didn't look familiar at all. Before he could say anything at all, the bell rang sharply in the distance and Alex wailed, “I can't be late! Not again!”

IC Someone just...ran into him, they just ran right into him, him, royalty, how dare he-well not like he knew who he was anyways, but still. Ezra was plenty offended. "Watch where you're going!" He snapped and took a step back, dusting off his clothes that were likely more expensive than this guy's entire wardrobe. The redhead, short man gave a huff of annoyance as he looked the man over.

An arranged marriage. Not something for Arabella to look forward to. Her father hated her fiancé's father, and she trusted his judgment. Perhaps that meant this prince she was betrothed to was the same way. When she was first told about the arranged marriage, Arabella thought the days went by slowly, until it was the final week before meeting him for the first time. This past week had been a blur, her servants trying to get her prepared to what is to come. Her head spun with thoughts as she gazed out the window of the limousine. Arabella's brown eyes scanned the grounds of the palace of her betrothed, her stomach doing a flip. She requested a hand mirror of sorts from her attendant, Cain. She wanted to look presentable and not disgrace her family's name. But now that she was being married to the enemy, it seemed she had to leave her name behind too. No longer would she be Arabella Kovács. She studied herself in the mirror for a second, tucking her brown hair behind her ear. It was curled in ringlets that morning, and although they were starting to fall, she preferred them looser than tight. Arabella handed the mirror back to Cain, him and the belongings prepared for her were all she had left. She no longer felt like a princess, she felt like a pawn in game of chess that neither king could win.

Alex’s jaw dropped in surprise. Did this guy seriously just tell him, the head of the student science council, to watch where he was going? No way. Alex glared at the boy, furious, and crouched to pick up his fallen papers. “Excuse me, princess,” he said unhappily. He could feel bruises forming from his fall, but he figured he could deal with it later. “And now I’m late for class. So,” he spoke in an extremely upset tone. “Next time I’ll ‘watch where I’m going.’” He stuffed everything messily back into his bag, stood up and moved to leave. There was no point in rushing now, since Ms. Collins was already going to lecture him.

IC "Prince Sebastian," a maid said as she hurried over and the Prince froze before looking over at her, a knowing expression on his face, it was time to go back inside and meet his bride to be...oh this was not something he was looking forward too. He sighed and ran a hand through his fluffy brown hair before giving a nod as he began to follow the maid back inside, overall not really looking forward to this in the slightest.
-
"Princess? Please I'm a-normal person at college," he quickly covered up, no way did he want to admit to being a prince, he'd be told on and then his mother would send someone and everything would be ruined. Ezra looked down as he picked up all that stuff and internally sighed before he went to go help him. "What's the big deal about being late? Surely you can just pass it off as nothing," he said, letting his unique accent slip through slightly. It sounded European, though being able to actually pinpoint it was near impossible.

The limousine came to a halt, and Arabella knew what that meant. She screamed internally but on the outside her face was expressionless. Cain must have noticed something her eyes though, and he didn't do anything except open the door for his mistress. Arabella and Cain knew each other well, they were childhood friends, with the exception of him being a few years older. She nodded her thanks to Cain when she stepped out of the limousine. She was wearing one of her finer silk dresses, as she should. No matter how much she knew she would hate this man, she had to look appropriate for the occasion. Cain came with Arabella to the front of the palace where she was supposed to meet her new 'family'. Her guards were still by the car however, just in case something were to happen.

{{ Alex stopped to look the boy up and down before giving him a blank expression. Normal college student or not, Alex didn't want anything to do with him. “It’s a big deal because my first class is chemical engineering and if I want to sign up for the competition next month I can't be late more than once,” he explained bluntly. “Which I’m already disqualified now, so that’s great. Anyway, shouldn't you be getting to class, too? All of the science teachers are pretty strict this year.” The college Alex attended was a major influence on the science and medical world, one of the top five for aspiring scientists and medical professionals alike, so even little things like tardiness were disapproved of. Not that he cared what happened to this guy. He was probably just some kid whose parents had paid for his college to get him out of the house. }}

IC Soon Sebastian was simply waiting for this girl to enter. He hated to admit it though he would much rather be out exploring the world rather than here...but that wasn't an option for him, so instead he stood in the throne room as he and his parents waited for the arrival of this princess. Jala was there too, and she was probably the only thing that was keeping him calm. He really owed his cousin a lot.
-
Ezra paused. "Uh...well...yeah, I guess I probably should be," he agreed, having not really thought of that. He finished picking up whatever was left on the floor and passed it to the guy, who sure was rude, didn't he know any manners? You were to treat a prince with respect...of course he didn't know that he was a prince...and that really was preferred anyways, but still.

Arabella took a deep breath, trying to calm any last minute jitters she may have. Cain took her by the arm and they entered the palace through it's grand doors. She walked with a straight back and Cain and her walked synchronized. She looked upon the faces of her father's enemies and laid her eyes upon who must be her fiancé. He can't be much more excited than she is about this. The whole family looked stern to her, the no nonsense type of people. Would her husband end up being the same way as she assumed the family to be? It shouldn't matter what else he was. He was the enemy.

Best to just follow annoying guy...or Alex, he could try and figure out how to be normal by following him...sure he wasn't actually going to college but he didn't need to know that, he was sure he could lie his way into college, he had lied to his mother multiple times before, couldn't be too different.

"Are you new? Ms. Collins didn't mention accepting any new students into her program. What score did you get on your entrance exam?" He liked to keep track of his fellow students, since many of them came to him with questions about current events and future projects. He wasn't the best student in the class, but he did try to be up to date on everything going on. }}

Alex took another deep breath once they reached the classroom's doors, dreading what was to come, and opened them carefully. Ms. Collins, standing at her usual place in front of the whiteboard where she had written a series of long, complicated equations, glared over at the two men with a look of pure fury. "How nice of you to finally join us, Mr. Rosenberg. And I see you've brought a friend as well," she hissed.

You can take seat by Mr. Rosenberg. I'm sure he'd be happy to give you all the notes you've missed. Wouldn't you, Mr. Rosenberg?" She narrowed her eyes at Alex hatefully. At that moment, Alex hated Ms. Collins and Norman and even himself, asking the world why it could be so cruel. Instead of screaming like he wanted to, he forced a smile, no doubt one looked entirely stiff and awkward and not nearly as charming as Norman's. "Of course I'd be happy to, Ms. Collins." }}

Arabella focused her gaze on the king as he walked over to her. She clenched her jaw as he spoke. This is after all, the rival of her father. Not his son, but the rival himself. The way he worded his welcome almost made the confusion she felt inside show upon the outside. Home. This was not home. It never will be home, she is practically a hostage here being married to her father's enemies. "Thank you sir." She was unsure as how to address him. My Lord? Father? Your highness? Arabella prayed she would not be punished for using the wrong title.

IC Ah yes, winning people over with charm and easy lies, now that he could do. College was going to be easy. "Thank you both, I'm happy to be in your class," he started and paused for a second as another thought came to mind. "Also I'm sorry for being so late, I got lost and Alex here helped me find my way, being the Good Samaritan caused him to be late too," he explained, figuring if anything he should probably help Alex out since Ezra had likely caused a few problems and he often had the need to fix things anyways.

The king nodded slightly and turned to looked at his son, gesturing for him to come over and Sebastian did as he was told, walking over to join his father and the princess. "This is my son, Sebastian," he introduced and the boy gave an awkward wave before remembering he had to be formal and straightened his posture a bit, gosh this entire scene was awkward.

Arabella didn't even know her fiancé's name. She should have, and she would have if Arabella was marrying someone from within her kingdom. But her kingdom was what she was doing all of this for. She needed to keep that in mind during their actual ceremony. Arabella removed her arm from Cain and clasped her hands in front of herself. "I am Arabella of the house of Kovács. This is my attendant Cain Friesenhahn." She wasn't sure why she gave them her last name, Arabella was certain they knew which family they came from. Credit to @battlingfear for the code.

How kind of him to show you around," she said with a slightly, very slightly, less annoyed tone. Alex wished he had Norman's charm, because if Norman could get him on Ms. Collins's good side, then he could do just about anything. "Now, if we can get back to today's lesson..." She turned back to the board and resumed explaining how to go about finding the vapor-liquid equilibrium data, which made little sense to Alex, considering he had probably already missed the most important step.

"This is Lottie, she will help you find your room and be there for anything you need," the king explained and Lottie waved over at her with a friendly smile. "We'll see you at dinner, enjoy your stay," the king instructed diplomatically.

Ezra sent him a scowl back. Ungrateful peasant. The boy shook his head with a roll of his eyes before he looked at the pile of notes and frowned....he had no idea what any of this was...he knew enough about science to get him through school but it wasn't like he ever really learned much of it.

Arabella wanted to pull her hand away from Sebastian and walk with Cain back to the car, but she knew the cost of that could be war. Arabella just watched her fiancé as he moved back in place. She turned to look at the woman that would take care of her along with Cain. It will be a relief to go to a place where she could hide away from this wretched family, especially their son. How was she supposed to have children with him as she is expected to? It was revolting. The words 'enjoy your stay' made this all sounds like it was temporary, like all of this was a game or a vacation. It was far from it but she stayed silent and responded to the king and Sebastian, "Thank you." She made her way over to the servant with Cain right behind her and greeted her with a small smile. She needed to stay on the maid's good side at least. OOC Text goes here. Text goes here. Credit to @battlingfear for the code.
