Weckheim Preparatory Academy, ~11 am

Ana: I- 

Peter: I can explain! 

Ana: Explain what? The fact that you seemed perfectly content kissing another girl? 

Alya: And for quite a long time, might I add. 

Peter: Fuck off Kenny. This isn’t about you. 

Ana: Alya is one of my best friends Peter, in case you’ve forgotten. 

Peter: Pssh. Nobody needs loser friends like that. 

Ana: Do you have a problem with my friends Peter? 

Peter: Considering your position, I would think that you would be more comfortable with people that won’t need to leech off you for everything. 

Ana: Oh, you mean like you? 

Peter: I’m.. I’m sorry, what?

Ana: I said what I said. Clearly you don’t love me as much as you say you do if you were kissing her. 

Peter: I didn’t kiss her, she kissed me!

Ana: Really? Cause I saw the opposite.

The rest of the post is below the cut!  TW: Violence (Punching), Gaslighting, Bullying

Peter: That’s absolute bullshit, Ana, and you know it. 

Ana: Alya was right. I should have listened to her when you first asked me out. 

Peter: Really? You’re going to listen to that, over me? The person that loves you? 

Ana: Cut the crap Peter. Clearly you don’t love me enough to be kissing her while dating me. This relationship is over. 

Peter: What? No. No, it’s not over. 

Ana: Yes it is.  

Peter: It’s not over Anastasia. 

Alya: I’m going to get a teacher. 

Alya: Thomas! Paige!

Thomas: Hey Alya! 

Alya: Ana… 

Thomas: Annie? What about her? 

Alya: Peter and Ana broke up. Going to get a teacher. 

Thomas: Oh, shit. 

Peter: Who told you to break up with me, huh? It’s over when I say it’s over. 

Thomas: Hey! Leave my cousin alone. 

Peter: Why should I listen to you, Mr. Bastard Boy?  

Thomas: Bastard Boy? Listen jackass, nobody here likes you or your father. 

Peter: This is coming from a guy who’s most redeeming personality trait is to look pretty for the cameras. Even his own mother couldn’t stand him, and left him to his father. No wonder your grandpa didn’t make you a prince. 

Thomas: Hey, you keep your thoughts about my parents and grandpa to yourself. 

Peter: If your cousin would just stop being such a child, I will. 

Thomas: I’m not going to force her to do anything. Because I actually respect who she is and what she likes. Now leave her alone. 

Peter: Only once your mother stops being such a bitch. 

Paige: Thomas! 

Alya: Oh shit, this ain’t good. 

Dr. Vide: Mr. Gathen, Mr. Angers, Headmistress’s office. Now!

Old Tea House, Carlisle, ~1:30

Peter: You’re late. 

Zoe: It’s 1:30, how am I late? You said 1:34. 

Peter: Yes, but arriving on time is always considered late. Surely you’ve learned that from your years on set. 

Zoe: I don’t wait for them, they wait for me. What do you want? 

Peter: Similar to you. I want the Crown Princess back. You want Caspersen back. 

Zoe: And do you plan for that to work? I spoke to Doux last week and he voiced, displeasure, in seeing my face again. 

Peter: You cheated too? 

Zoe: Naturally. It’s the only way to get ahead in Simwood. 

Peter: That’s what I thought too. That I could keep up the happy facade with her and then keep my girl on the side. Didn’t work. Can’t hide my identity that easily, I have to keep up appearances in Parliament. But…

Zoe: But what? 

Peter: That doesn’t mean that you can’t. 

Zoe: What are you talking about? 

Peter: What color is your hair? Naturally? 

Zoe: I’ve bounced around between so many hair colors in my childhood I don’t even know at this point. 

Peter: Hmm. Would he recognize you without the pink? 

Zoe: Not sure. Why? 

Peter: Here’s what I’m thinking. You, temporarily, of course, change your identity. Hair, mostly, use a fake name. Fake backstory. Fake accent, if you can. I’ll handle the paperwork for it. 

Zoe: And use that to win him back, but not as Zoe. And when I win him back, send her running back to you. 

Peter: Now you’re getting the hang of it. Do we have a deal? 

Zoe: Indeed we do.

Unknown: Hello Miss Vagol

Zoe: Who the fuck is this and how did you get my number?

Peter: My name is Peter

My understanding that you're Hisirdoux Caspersen's ex?

Zoe: Yeah

Why are you asking?

Henry: Consider me someone who wants the same as you

But with the Crown Princess instead

Let's just say that our relationship ended sour

But perhaps you and I can work together to get what we rightly deserve

Zoe: Why should I trust you?

Henry: Because I have direct access to Parliament and it's documents. I can either make you, or break you

Meet me tomorrow at the Old Tea House in Carlisle at approx. 1:34pm

Zoe: OMW

Gathen Residence, ~5pm 

Henry: Well? 

Peter: Enamored completely, just like you thought. She’ll undoubtedly be applying there, and what school wouldn’t want the Crown Princess attending? 

Henry: Naturally. Now, have you spoken with her about the future? 

Peter: I have, but she keeps changing the subject. Says that she doesn’t want to worry about it right now.

Henry: Bullshit. Of course she’s aware of her future and that she needs a Prince Consort to rule by her side. 

Peter: She’s just like, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I’m still so young tee-hee-hee.’ God, it’s annoying. Both her and that laugh.

Henry: Well, if you keep up what you’ve been doing, once you’re married and King, you can have as many mistresses as you see fit. Now go out there, woo her and keep her in your grasp if you know what’s good for you.

Ana: Adrien! 

Adrien: Oh hey, Ana. What’s up? 

Ana: Have you seen Peter around? 

Adrien: Last I saw him was this morning at Dr. Vide’s class. 

Ana: Okay, thanks. 

Ana, thinking: Where could he be?

Alya: Ana!

Ana: Alya! Have you seen Peter? 

Alya: Yeah, about that… 

Ana: What? 

Alya: He’s upstairs on the balcony. But you won’t like what you find. 

Ana: I’m sure it will be fine. Later! 

Alya: Ana! Wait!

The rest of post is below the cut!

Ana: Peter, I’ve been looking for you every… where.

Chloe: Ehm. Peter. 

Peter: What?

A Royal Love Story: After Four Years, Could the Couple Be Headed for the Altar?

After nearly four years together, since the start of high school, Crown Princess Anastasia and her boyfriend Peter Gathen, are starting to take things a bit more seriously. 

Peter has mostly accompied his girlfriend to charity events, but most recently attended the wedding of the Viscount and Viscountess of Huntington, the Crown Princess’s cousin. Could it be possible that the couple are headed towards the altar? Sources close to the couple and relationship counselors are divided. 

A source that works with the Gathen Family, who wished to remain anonymous, says that “There’s no doubt that things are getting serious in their relationship. They’re both in love with each other and I have doubts in saying that they’re planning on spending the rest of their lives together.” 

However, Dr. Vincent Goth, a renowned relationship counselor and body language expert, says that if they do get married, it won’t be a happy one. “Their body language are completely variable. If you look at the Duke and Duchess of Asbury when they were dating, they were leaning into each other and comfortable. With the Crown Princess and Gathen, we see the opposite, even when they think no cameras are around. It’s more rigid and forced than any other member of the family. As much as we all want a royal wedding, I doubt the Crown Princess will be having one with Peter Gathen.”

This story is continued on pg. 5

Patterson Lounge, ~9:30pm

Anastasia, thinking: Why does he look so familiar?

Peter: Annie bear, can you hear me? 

Anastasia: Yeah, I can hear you. But don’t call me Annie bear. 

Peter: Whatever. We really ought to go before your Dad sends a swarm of guards to get you back. 

Anastasia: Why do we always have to leave when you say we have to leave? My father said to stay as long as needed. We just got here. 

Peter: You don’t get it. I have exams tomorrow that I need to home on time for and I’m your ride. 

Anastasia: Didn’t I pick you up? I’m your ride, You are not mine. 

Peter: I’m the future King, what I need..

Anastasia: You’re the what?

Peter: Forget it. 

Anastasia: No. What. The future King? Of what? 

Peter: I said forget it. Let’s go.

Anastasia: No.

Peter: What did you just say? 

Anastasia: No. I’m staying here, like my parents told me. You can go back to your house if you want, but I’m staying here. 

Peter: Fine. Be Cinderella if you want to, but don’t expect your Prince to be chasing after you at the end of the ball. 

Anastasia: That’s perfectly fine by me. 

Anastasia, thinking: What on earth did he mean by future King?

Weckheim Preparatory Academy, ~1pm, Same Day

Headmistress: Your Grace, thank you for coming at such short notice. 

Dante: Of course. Although I have to admit I was a bit shocked when I got the call. 

Thomas: Dad, I- 

Dante: Not right now Tom. Did Mr. and Mrs. Gathen already come by? 

Headmistress: They haven’t responded to any of my calls so far. Mr. Gathen, do you know where your parents are right now? 

Peter: Yeah, Mom’s at a luncheon with her friends and Dad’s at work. Because they actually do their jobs, unlike someone else’s parents. 

Headmistress: Mr. Gathen, there is really no need to be so rude. Please, Your Grace, take a seat. Now, I am very curious about what happened that caused this to happen.

Peter: Well, I was talking to Ana upstairs on the balcony like we do everyday after lunch and then suddenly Thomas came out of nowhere and socked me! 

Thomas: That’s not what happened and you know it! 

Peter: You just walked up to me and started wailing on me!

Headmistress: Is that all that happened Mr. Gathen? 

Peter: Yes ma’am. Everything that happened. 

Headmistress: Mr. Angers, I’d like to hear your side of the story please. 

Peter: What? He punched me! That ought to be enough for you to expel him flat out!

Headmistress: As you are well aware Mr. Gathen, there are two sides to every story. Perhaps you missed the performance of Romeo and Juliet? 

Thomas: Well, Alya ran up to Paige and I in the hallway and said that Peter and Annie had broken up and that she was going to get a teacher. We both ran upstairs and Peter was there insulting Ana the whole time and telling her how stupid she was, which she’s not. And then he shoved me, hard. 

Peter: I did not! 

Headmistress: Hush. You’ve had your turn. What happened after he shoved you?

Thomas: He insulted me and my mom and dad and grandpa. And then I told him to leave Annie alone again and then…. 

The rest of the post is below the cut!

Headmistress: And then what? 

Thomas: I don’t want to say it. 

Dante (slightly concerned): Tom, what happened? 

Thomas (whispering): He said that I was a bastard and that he would leave Annie alone after Mom learned how to not be a bitch. 

Peter: I did not! 

Thomas, voice cracking: Yes you did!

Peter: See! Lying bastard. 

Headmistress: Mr. Gathen! Thomas, is that why you punched him?

Thomas: Yes ma’am. 

Headmistress: The CCTV footage that I have does appear to support Mr. Angers’ claim. I’ll speak to those present later to…  

Henry: So sorry I’m late, but your assistant really needs to learn how to respect the time of a member of Parliament. 

Headmistress: Funnily enough, I was the one calling you. 

Henry: Oh. 

Headmistress: Mr. Gathen, are you aware that your son was making inappropriate and disrespectful comments towards one of his fellow peers? 

Henry: She must have made it up. 

Headmistress: Actually the CCTV footage I have suggests the opposite. As I was about to say, Mr. Angers, I’ll call you in to discuss your punishment later. You can go. As for you Mr. Gathen, this will not go unnoticed by myself or this school. Your behavior here has been unacceptable from day one, to not only your professors, but also, and perhaps more importantly, to your fellow classmates.

Henry: Ma’am, I highly doubt those claims. Peter has always been respectful to his fellow classmates and his professors.

Headmistress: Clearly you don’t know your son as well as you think you do. Mr. Gathen has been, on a number of occasions, disrespectful to his professors, myself and his fellow peers. 

Henry: They’re just after him for what he has in the future! They’re all trying to destroy his reputation!

Headmistress: Funnily enough, I do not hear the same about the Crown Princess to her professors and fellow peers. 

Henry: She’s just putting on a fake display for the cameras. Everyone in that fucking family does the same thing. 

Dante: My children and my ex-wife happen to be part of that same family, Henry.

Henry: Then I’m sure you’re well familiar with those displays. 

Headmistress: Gentlemen, please. As I was about to say, I highly doubt that sir. I’ve met with the Crown Princess before, and she has always been respectful and kind to everyone and is very empathetic to the feelings of others. The other students aren’t the problem. Your son is. 

Henry: You’ll be sued. 

Headmistress: I’ll await the letter from your lawyer then. In the meantime, Peter is suspended from this school for the rest of the year.

Henry: This close to the end of the year? That’s absurd! He’s graduating in 2 months to go the University of Carrington! 

Peter: Please Professor. I’ll do anything!

Headmistress: I’ll let the Dean of Admissions know about his behavior here. He’ll still receive his diploma, but he will not be allowed to attend graduation or the formal. 

Henry: You’re going to pay for this. Both of you! Come on Peter. 

Dante: I’ll speak to Richard later this week to let him know what happened. Never imagined that Tom would be the one to do something like that. 

Headmistress: I don’t condone violence between students, but I honestly can’t blame Thomas for his actions. He was just defending his cousin.

Dante: If it’s alright with you, I’d like to sign out Thomas early for the day. 

Headmistress: Should I call for Gianna as well? 

Dante: Just Thomas. I’ll be back later to pick up Gia. I want to talk to him.

Crown Princess Anastasia Spotted Out and About with Boyfriend!

After news of the relationship broke on the cover of the Carrington Gossip magazine, Crown Princess Anastasia has been barely seen in public, mostly spotted arriving and leaving school, or going to one of her friend’s houses. 

This evening though, she made her first appearance at a charity event alongside her boyfriend, Peter Gathen, the son of rising politician Henry Gathen. The future Queen wore a stunning midi-length red dress and allowed her beautiful brown hair fall down naturally. 

The event was organized by Carson Patterson and raises money for the Carrington Independent Artists Foundation, which services independent artists from varying mediums and provides them with the tools they need for success in their future endeavors. It is also suspected to be one of the first patronages of the Crown Princess.  

Representing the program and one of it’s kick starters was Hisirdoux Caspersen, who also preformed his new single, Born to Run, at the event.

The rest of the event remained private to cameras, but according to the event’s organizers, over $1.3 million simoleans were raised for the charity within 1 hour. Excellent job Your Royal Highness!
