"Limit your expectations because life is full of disappointments." Peach raise her head and search for Mourge.
When their eyes met, Mourge's eyes is talking to her soul again. Like she was trying to figure what's going on in her head.
"What did you just said?" She asks. Mourge shrug and wave the book in her hand.
Peach is currently inside the cafè. Doing nothing but to stare at nothing.
"I read it here. In this amaaaaazing book." Mourge signed and look at her.
And there she go. Finally realizing what's with Mourge's stare all the time she have a problem.
"You definitely know what's going on." Peach scratch her chin.
"Yeah, let's say that I knew things. But acceptance will calm your soul. Whatever happen or whatever you hear, just learn to accept that it has to happen." Mourge's words are too deep for her to understand.
Peach shake her head. "I can't understand you. You know how much I suck at understanding things without someone making me realise it."
Her heartbeat is beating fast. She can feel it. Something is wrong. But she decided to silent herself and see what will happen.
Wednesday's morning and Peach's mind is still clouded with unsaid words.
"Hey, earth to Peachie babe, you're with us?" Tobias wave her hand at Peach's face.
Peach blink a few seconds and look at her friend's worried faces.
"Hey, I-i um..." Peach can't find the right words to say.
It feels like she's with her friends but her presence is absent.
"I'm sorry guys. I just have things in my head for another story." Peach lied and fake a laugh.
Sue rolled her eyes. "Stop lying Peach. We know you. Something is up. Now spill the beans."
Oh, how badly Peach wanna cry right now.
"Bish, everything is okay. Nothing to worry about okay?" Peach said and sip in her morning coffee.
Tobias clench his fist while looking intently at her. "You are lying Peach. I don't like it. We are your friend and there is nothing to hide. We have known each other since the day we met in the hospital."
Right. That part or her life. She knew them since the day she open her eyes in four white walls.
"Yeah, It's been a years." Peach genuinely smile when she remembered how bad is Sue's attitude.
Peach hear Sue tasked. "Remember me darlin?" Sue said in her attitude way. Peach and Tobias laughs.
"Yeah, I remember how Sue tried to knot all the sheets in her room so she can escapes the big men outside her room." Tobias said while laughing.
Remembering things back then makes the atmosphere bloom.
"I even remember the big guy panicking when they thought that Sue escaped. But then Tobias and I are just starring at the open door and see Sue under the bed. Trying to be a spider man." Peach laugh harder when she remember how hilarious Sue's situation is.
"Duh! Tobias shouted that I'm just under the bed! I was about to escape trough the main door. Dude, I'm not trying to break my bones in doing thst stupid tied up sheets." Sue's rolled her eyes and laughs.
Peach smile. Luckily, her friends brighten up her morning mood.
Peach's Morning is fine because of her friends. But then when she needs to take her trip to her classroom, her mood started to change when she saw the vacant chair. Prince Caspian's chair.
And just like that, her day went without Prince Caspian showing up in the class.
So she decided to go to Prince Caspian's hideouts. But she found no one.
"Peach?" Tate's sweet voice makes Peach look behind her.
And she sees light in finding the missing Prince by his friend.
"Oh my gosh, Tate!" Peach can't help but to exclaimed when she saw Tate.
"Oh, you look bothered. Is there something that I can help you with?" Tate asks.
Peach bite her lips. She's having a second thought if she really wanted to know what's behind the contest or not.
In the end. Peach decided to asks Tate.
"I need some information about the contest." Peach honestly said.
Tate's reaction makes her think that she really need to know what is happening to Prince Caspian.
"I don't think that the story should come out of my mouth since it is not my story to tell..." Tate's eyes is begging for her to stop asking the question.
But it only makes her wanna know more about it.
Peach held Tate's hand and look at her with a pleading eyes.
"Please, Tate. I reay need to know the truth. So I know what to do with our relationship."
Tate signed and grab her hands. Together, they sat down on an empty bench.
Peach heartbeat is out for a race while wating for the words that Tate will say.
"First of all, I don't know what's the real deal. But trust me Peach, Sevastian is inlove with you." She can see sincerity in Tate's eyes.
All Peach can do is to nod and to wait for Tate's next words.
"Alright, Sevastian is in love with his girl bestfriend for a long time now. I don't know when it started. But when I came into his life, he is already inlove with Sabrina." Tate's words are like knife arrowing to her heart.
Peach nodded her head. Still trying her best to listen. Why does it have to involve another girl?
This is clearly the reason. Since Tate's summarize the story about the contents, Peach is sure that this has something to do with Sabrina.
"And then Sevastian is good at painting. He's outstanding with arts. That's when Sabrina asks Sevastian to help her with the upcoming contest. Sevastian needs to find a perfect model and that's you." Tate tried to smile at her.
So Sabrina is the reason why she gets to know Prince Caspian after all.
"And then what? I wanna here everything Tate." Peach said. And Tate continue speaking.
"All the designs gowns is made by Sabrina. No photo is allowed in the competition. Only paintings by the hand of paintors. And that's why Sevastian do his best to find the perfect girl who he knows that he can used to win the competition."
And that's me. Peach thought. So all this time this is just about the contest.
Is Prince Caspian's feelings even real? Peach can't think straight at the moment.
She can't cry. There is no tears left in her eyes to cry.
But damn! Knowing the reason behind Prince Caspian's working hard on this competition makes her heart ache.
