WORLD BUILDING CONTEXT: Andway is a fairly strong country ruled by the Sterlings (Louis’ family) it’s a constitutional monarchy, with a strong economy and foreign relations, inside the kingdom is the true issue: the divide in classes, the rich and successful, who barely touched the lesser class, unless to employ them. The lesser class, is just trying to survive. There was no middle class the wealth wasn’t spread correctly at all. The country is diverse like America, essentially America with a monarchy (so England, but Geographic's of America lol)

      Louis sighed, sitting on his bed, wrinkling his perfectly laid sheets. He looked upon his unusually clean room, reminiscing on the summer moments that he spent there.  The window shoed a perfect view of the garden, where he and his “bodyguard” Marlon spent their days recreating jackass by doing stupid stunts. He looked upon the piano, now sadly pushed to a corner in his room, is where he spent most of his summer, he had angled the piano perfectly in the sunlight, singing and playing most of the day in a warm glow. Not to mention, the songs he’d been writing; Louis found himself at the piano, going through his ruffled notebook, filled with loose pages and chord progressions; and so many songs, all of them marked with his distinct passion and care. He stopped a specific page, the last song he had worked on this summer, still unfinished he had worked on this song for so long, but it never felt right. Something was missing. He analyzed the page, as if it would give him an answer. Suddenly, Louis heard footsteps, in a rush he shoved his notebook into a backpack, zipped it and faced the door.  

  The door creaked as it opened and a joyful teen entered room, “Louis, the car is ready, be ready to leave in five minutes”.  

Louis chuckled, “Dude, are you really going to go back to school with THAT haircut?” he gestured to the dead rat on his head.

“Honestly man, it’s kind of growing on me.” He brought his fingers through his blonde mullet, “I know it’s ‘cause I lost a bet, but I think I make it work.” His blue eyes showing through his mischievous smirk.  

“Marlon.” Louis started, “You know you're a brother to me man, but that haircut is terrible.”  

 Marlon really was family. He was originally the security guard’s kid, but he and Louis met by accident when they were little; They hit it off so well that 6-year-old Louis wouldn’t play with anyone else except Marlon. Sadly, Marlon’s parents died protecting Louis’ parents. So, Marlon stayed in the palace as Louis’ “bodyguard” just to have a name for him being everywhere with him. Apparently, to Louis’ dad, you can’t have family outside your class. This annoyed Louis, to the point where he basically made sure Marlon had all the privileges that a “lesser class” person could get. Marlon sure as hell didn’t want them, the society aspect is not what he was there for, he was here for his brother.

Marlon shrugged, “I'm just going to see how it goes for the first few weeks at school, plus if it was that terrible, your dad would have made me get it cut for your ‘public image’.” He air-quoted jokingly.

Louis shook his head, “I guess you’re right. I digress.”  

Marlon looked around the room, “Wow, so this is what your room looks like without all your clothes on the floor.”  

“Ouch.”  

Marlon smiled “Its, the truth man, sorry.”He kept on looking around the room and eventually his eyes landed on the piano. “So, is your Dad going to find a random piano in your room, or? ”

Louis made a straight face, “Some of the maids are going to hide it in my closet for me, plus it’s not like my dad goes into my room anyway. He’s too busy being ‘the Golden King’ to visit me.” He let out a crestfallen sigh.

Louis’ Dad in private, was a strict and unkind man. He was tall, with dark eyes with the stare that could kill, mahogany skin, and a booming voice that even an army Seargeant would fear. He and Louis rarely agreed on anything, it took Louis’ mother months to convince his father to let him play soccer when he was eight, and almost shaved his head when he found Louis’ decision to grow dreadlocks. However, to the public eye he was perceived as “The Golden King” because of how kind he was to his people and how wealthy Andway had become under his rule. Louis decided it was a better idea to hide his passion and hobby of music from his father; which was easy due to Louis living in the opposite wing of the castle, as well as going far away to Ericson Preparatory Academy, on weekdays for 8 Months out of the year.

Marlon broke the silence, announcing, “Well I think it’s time to get a move on, the Prince can’t be reported showing up late to school.”  

Louis nodded, getting his backpack and following Marlon down the first staircase of his enormous castle. They had all their suitcases packed, and goodbyes given to their favorite staff of the palace, and finally were in the backseat of a royal car. There was a whole fleet of cars escorting them to Ericson, Louis was annoyed of all the ruckus just because of his title.

Right as they were about to Leave Louis saw his mom, the Queen, approaching the car. He rolled down the window to see her smiling at him.  

“Oh, my little Lou,” She paused to kiss his forehead. “I just want to say bye baby, make me proud okay?”  

“I will mom” Louis said with a grin.

“You promise to study hard? More than last year, right?”

“I promise mom.”

“Okay, don’t forget to have fun too, I love you, bye!” she gave Louis another kiss on the head and turned to leave, before turning around again “Oh sorry Marlon, Goodbye to you too dear!”

Marlon chuckled, “Bye Mrs. Sterling.”

Louis waved, “Bye Mom, love you too.”

Mrs. Sterling waved as the car rolled out of the driveway, “Try to call me when you’re settled!”  

Louis was staring out of the car window, letting the trees and buildings fly past him while he thought of how thankful he was for his mom. He didn’t like being at the palace, but when he was, his mom was one of the better parts of it. He had more of his dad’s looks but he got his mom’s personality and freckles. She loved to laugh and was very vivacious. She’s the only one who ever convinced his dad of anything he wasn’t predisposed to. He already missed her.

“Hey.” Marlon tapped Louis on the shoulder. “You ready for another year at Ericson Prep?”

Louis thought for a moment, playing with his seatbelt. “I guess, it’s the same people trying to be my friend cause of my status-”

Marlon interjected, mocking Louis’ dad saying, “That’s just networking! That’s why I enrolled you here instead of getting a tutor!” in the king’s trademark booming voice.  

Louis laughed before he continued, “But it’s still the same teachers giving me too much homework, and the same call-ins by my dad to stress me out.”

“But we get to see the gang for the first time in a while.” Marlon added

“I am excited about seeing them again. But why do you ask about this year?”

Marlon reflected. “I'm not sure, I just feel like this year's going to be... different.”

“Marlon,” Louis confidently stated, “Whatever happens this year, I'm pretty sure we’ll be ready for it, Ericson is a Prep School after all.”  

He stopped playing with his seatbelt and looked to Marlon with an unsure expression,

“Right?”

A/N I know it’s a bit slow but It’s gonna get a better later, just establishing stuff rn. Stay tuned!
