*Author note*

Hi guys sorry for not updating yesterday, I had a fever but am better now. I'll try to update quickly to make up for the Lost time. Enjoy reading.**

Reina's eyes slowly opened, she looked outside and she could tell that it was already noon.

"Your awake." She turned to see Alex sitting next to her. "Did you enjoy your sleep? How're you felling now?" He asked.

"Yes, I enjoyed my sleep. And I feel much better." She responded trying to sit up and he placed more pillows behind her ." How long have you been here?"

"I've been here the whole time." He had a clam expression in his face.

She suddenly remembered what he had done." You were the one who put me to sleep. What are you?" looking at him like a scared kitten.

His expression was unchanged. "What do you mean Lady Reina?" He asked.

"I remember what you did to me you whispered something to me and it made me full asleep."

He knew what would divert her attention. "I don't remember ever doing anything of such sort." He looked puzzled. "But I do remember the headmistress coming here with a doctor to check on you." He added.

Reina face turned pale on hearing this, the headmistress came here, no no no she was going to be in trouble. "Um , my lord." Her voice was shaking. "Did she find out?"

He grinned." Find out what Lady Reina?" He asked.

"The truth."

"About what?" He responded." I don't seem to know what you're talking about. "He said obliviously.

"About my health."

"I still don't understand. What truth are you talking about? And what is the headmistress not suppose to find out ,about your health?"

This crazy ,insolent and annoying Prince. He knew what she was talking about cut still wanted to hear it from her, and it was really pissing her off with the way he was playing dumd , she would have loved to ignore him and his continuous baiting but she wanted to know what had transpired when she was asleep.

Her cheeks turned slightly pink , looking at his devilish blue gaze. She sighed." Did the headmistress find out that I am really fine and was pretending to be sick."

His grinned widened." Why should I tell you?"

She forced a smile." Because am your friend and friends help each other out. "

He looked at his sharp nails." Really? But I don't see what am benefiting from all this."

Benefiting was this man serious? He was actually asking her to do something in return for him giving her information.

She gave him a dirty look." So we are friends with benefit?"

He leaned close to her." Is that what you think?" He asked.

"It's what your making me believe." She answered hotly..

He looked at her with a glint in his eyes." Your making it sound like you're not going to benefit from it."

Her face turned red." Benefit? Benefit? "She said through clutched teeth." What in the devil's name am I going to benefit from this."

"Information my little kitten."

"You're mean and bad." She said hotly. "You won't help anyone unless you gain from it."

He shrugged his shoulders." Don't look at the bad side of things sweetness,sometimes look at the brighter side of it . "

Brighter side of what? If it was possible she would have bragged his stupid head against the bed post to knock some scene into him.

She sighed "What do you want i n exchange for the information?"

He smiled." Now we getting somewhere. "He looked ecstatic." I will give you the information but on one condition. "

She looked at him intimidating. "What is the condition."

"You'll do anything I ask."

She croised her hands around her chest." What if I refuse?"

"Then I won't be good for you sweetness."

"I wont let you control me."

"Who said anything about controlling?" He asked." Am the only one who can tell you what you want."

"No your not your Majesty. I could ask someone else."

"Who? The headmistress." He asked.

"There were other people there apart from you and the headmistress." She replied." Like the doctor who attended to me."

He grinned mischievously "Have fun finding which doctor attended to you."

"Milord ,They can't be many doctors in this school."

"That is where you're wrong. They are more doctors in this school than you can even think of."

"Then I'll ask another person."

"There was only three of us that were her when the doctor examined you. Myself, the headmistress and the doctor."

She lay back giving up ,there was no way she could win an argument with him." Fine, I'll do whatever you want me to, But only once."

He looked at her sternly. "Do I have your word on it."

"You have my word."

"Good." He paused to look at her expression." The Headmistress did cone here, but she didn't find out that you're pretending. In fact the doctor even said that you have a cold and would need a week to recover."

Her eyes slowly widened at the revelation. The headmistress didn't find out. How ?

"How your Highness?"

"Let's just say a little birdy told the doctor what this say to the headmistress."

"You were the one who told the doctor." She said." Thank you your Highness."

"For what?" He asked pretentiously.

She rolled her eyes." For helping me."

"Your welcome." He got up and walked to the table picking her book up he walked back and sat on the bed besides her.

He handed her the book." Here you mistakenly poured ink on it. "He said giving it to her

She examined the book , the ink had not only poured on it mildly. But it had seeped into all the pages and had completely destroyed her book."oh no my journal. "Tears stung her eyes.

He wrapped arms around her "Don't cry reina."he said." It's only a book, if it makes you happy I'll buy a new one for you."

"It was given to me by my father."
