{I hadn't planned on updating this until Sunday but I figured why not post it now since in a few hours I'd be walking across a stage possibly making a fool of myself to get my high school diploma. Hope you enjoy this.}

*Layla*

  "Oops sorry," Thomas smirked walking past me and I growled straightening up after I stumbled through the door.

  "Sorry my ass," I grumbled still stumbling because I was wearing ridiculously tall high heel.

  "You okay sissy?" Benny asked walking up and helping me to the corner Sarah and Frankie where standing in.

  "I'm fine little B," I smiled glaring when I caught Thomas's smirk. "Thomas thinks I'm a barbie doll most of the time and I hate wearing heels."

  "But you look hot," Sarah laughed and I groaned.

*Ian*

  I watched as Layla leaned against a wall with Sarah, Franchise, and Benjamin laughing at what one of them said.

  "Stare any harder and you scare her away," Amir said and I groaned.

  "Says the man who is in love with bodyguards daughter," I growled turning to see Darek and Efraim standing beside us. "Darek, Efraim."

  "Ian," Efraim said and Darek nodded.

  "What are you four doing here?" Marcie's shrill voice rang out and I turned to see her standing in front of the girls and Benjamin. "This is for high government people, not lowly ugly child pescents."

  "We have permission to be here," Franchise said and I moved closer to the group not going to allow Marcie to hurt them. "Considering our parents are here."

  "You're parents our the only ones welcome," Marcie glared. "Not you four, you re nothing and have no say."

  "Have no say in what?" Sarah asked crossing her arms.

  "Well Sarah you're a whore, Franchise is a horrid cook, Benjamin is nothing but a mistake and Layla is going to ruin my brothers image because she's a no good reporter. Therefore you four don't belong here and should leave before you make a bigger fool of yourselves." Marcie said haughty and I growled only to have Amir grab my shoulder.

  "Wait," he said calmly.

  "Didn't King Randall tell you to be nice to us," Layla inquired tilting her head to the side and I noticed something silver in her left hand. "I'm sure he would love to hear you tell us that we're unwelcome even though he invited us personally."

  "My word against yours fat cow," Marcie​ smirked and I glared. "Who's he going to believe?"

  "Me," Layla smiled pressing a button on the silver object in her hand and a second later Marcie's voice came out and I could see her face pale. "Now I can take whatever trash you say about me but you don't mess with my family and if I hear that you bashed Sarah, Frankie or Benny again I will share this with your father."

  "Bitch," Marcie huffed stomping off.

  "No, that's you." Layla sighed looking down only to jump when Darek and Efraim laughed. "Uh..."

  "I love you," Darek laughed throwing an arm around her shoulders. "Blackmailing a royal takes a lot of courage and guts."

*Layla*

"Thanks," I mumbled looking at the Prince who had and arm around my shoulders before shoving hm off and losing my footing falling into familiar arms.

  "Everything okay?" Thomas asked concerned.

  "Fine," I shrugged straightening up. "Where'd you disappear too?"

  "My mermaid called so I was outside on the phone with her," He smiled and I giggled at Ariel's nickname. "Also it looks like you're dad could use some backup with the woman who's yelling at him."

  "What are...Oh!" I gasped when I saw a very angry princess yelling at my dad, groaning I bent down and slipped my heels off shoving them into Thomas's chest. "I'll be right back."

*Amir*

  I chuckled when I heard Ian growl as Layla bent down causing her dress to hike up in the back showing us the back of her upper thighs.

  "Careful," I said lowly before turning my attention to Sarah who rolled her eyes walking off.

*Darek*

  I smirked when Ian looked after Layla with a sad puppy look before I turned my attention to Frankie.

  "Prince Darek," she said before walking off and I sighed following after her.

*Efraim*

  I watched as Ian and Darek followed after their love interest before I looked at my little interest causing him to blush.

  "Ello love," I whispered bending down so he could hear.

"Hi...uh...I...um...sorry," he squeaked before running away and I pouted.

  "Quit teasing the poor boy Efraim," Amir said sending me a look.

  "It's fun seeing him get all flustered," I smirked before walking off to find where my Benjamin disappeared too.
