Arabelle grabbed the picnic basket she had prepared and headed to Fleur's room. She gave a nervous knock on the door although she couldn't figure out why she was so nervous.

She shook the feeling as Fleur answered the door. ""Hey Fleur. I was wondering if you would like to join me for a picnic." Arabelle said as she held up the basket. Fleur nodded.

"Sure." Was Fleur's reply. She still was not sure what to make of Arabelle but maybe she was about to find out.

"This looks like a good spot." Arabelle said. She set down the basket and pulled a blanket from the top of it. Fleur grabbed the other end of the blanket and together they put it down on the ground.

Arabelle pulled out the food as they fell into comfortable conversation. Arabelle asked about Fleur's family and about her choice to come to the boarding school. Fleur answered each question as Arabelle asked.

As they sat Fleur began to realize that Arabelle wasn't the snob she figure all the girls were at the school. Fleur liked talking to Arabelle. Arabelle didn't make everything about herself but made it about Fleur.

She wanted to get to know her. Fleur was finding that she wanted to know everything about Arabelle.

"Your great grandmother sounds like an amazing women." Fleur nodded. "She was. I miss her." Arabelle moved over so she was sitting right next to Fleur. "Are you happy here?"

Arabelle asked. "I think I'm starting to be." Fleur said in a hushed voice as they both leaned in closer. It came so easy and yet it was such a surprise.

The passion they were feeling just from the anticipation of the kiss was almost overwhelming. Their lips just barely touched when Fleur heard someone call her name.

At first she ignored it but the voices came closer. Arabelle smiled. "It sounds like someone is trying to find you." Fleur turned just as Colten and Azelna tackled her in excitement. "FLEUR! WE HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Azelna screamed.

Arabelle smiled and wondered how much they had saw. She watched as Fleur hugged her siblings. "Colten, Azelna this is Arabelle Weston." Arabella smiled and held her hand out to meet them.

"Weston? As in Jeffrey Weston?" Azelna asked. Arabelle nodded. "That's my father." Arabelle smiled. How did they know her father's name? It's so confusing for Arabelle.

"Its very nice to meet you both." They all talked a bit and then Colten held up his phone. "We are being summoned to our mothers. We better not keep them waiting."

Fleur shook her head. "How angry are they?" Fleur asked. "We cant tell. It was mostly quiet for the ride over." Fleur sighed. "That cant be good." When Fleur finally stood up, Colten can see how bruise up her body was.

"What happen to you?" Colten asked.

***

Arabelle decided to followed Fleur meeting her parents. Well, she was mostly being force by Azelna. "Come on. It will be fun. You scan meet our parents and introduce yourself as Fleur's girlfriend.

Fleur grabbed her sister and shut her mouth with her hands. "Shut up Azelna." Azelna was struggling under her arms and finally release her when Colten stared at them both.

"I'm sorry my lady. My sisters can be quite rude to you." Arabelle just smiled. "It's okay Mr Larove." Colten leaned in to his sisters and patted their shoulder. "Don't embarrass yourself." He whispered.

Colten then looked around the school area and sighed. "My lady. Can you show us the way to the headmistress office?" Azelna can't contain her laughter anymore.

"Sure. Follow me.." The triplets let the noble showed the way and followed her closely. "Fleur. She's amazing." Azelna whispered. "If I date woman I'll be all over her." Fleur grabbed her sister by the shoulder and pulled her towards her body.

"Can you please stop embarrassing me."

Azelna laughed. Colten stopped when Arabelle stopped but not Fleur and Azelna. They were too busy talking that they nearly fell into Arabelle if Colten didn't stopped them. "Welcome back to reality, sisters." Fleur smiled sheepishly.

Colten was about to opened the door when the door open on its own. Antonia appeared and smiled. "Good to..." Antonia didn't to finish when she saw Fleur's bruised face. "FLEUR?! WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?!"

Antonia didn't let Fleur explained herself. She just grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her inside the headmistress office. "Mrs Ville, you have a lot of explanation to do!" Antonia was furious. So was Emerson.

"What happen to my daughter?! Why didn't you mention she was banter like this?!" Emerson asked the headmistress. "Mom.. I'm the one who asked her not to call you. I didn't know that they will sued us for what I did."

Colten and Azelna asked Arabelle to entered the headmistress room. "Help my sister." Azelna whispered. Arabelle felt like she's out of place. When she's inside, the headmistress and Fleur's parents turned to her.

"Miss Weston. Why are you here?" The headmistress asked the noble.

"She was with Fleur. And it will be rude if I ask the lady walk all alone." Colten smiled. Azelna support her brother and so does Fleur. "Weston? As in Jeffrey Weston?" Antonia asked. "He's my father." Arabelle says.

"Explain yourself, Mrs Ville. What happened to my daughter!" Emerson half yelled. The headmistress looked at Fleur. Fleur gave her a little nod. "Your daughter went out from the school compound and went to the nearby club."

Antonia and Emerson's eyes widen. "You did what?!" Emerson can't believe what she's hearing right now. "You endangered yourself by leaving the heavily guarded school? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!"

Fleur looked down.

She's at fault. She want to apologise but she knows better than to talk to her mothers when they both mad. Arabelle noticed how scared Fleur was and she decided to say something before the situations gets any worst.

"I'm sorry for interrupting but I was there when she decided to break the rule. I can assure you that no one saw us. If so, it will be all over the media. I am from the nobility. I know how bad this will effect your status and good name."

Arabelle turned to the headmistress. "And for the beating, I know why." The headmistress waved for the noble to continue.

"Kenny Archer, he tried to poison the girls drinks but Fleur saw it and stopped him before he get his hands on the girls. If you need witness for that I'm willing to be one. And also my two other friends who also from the nobility."

Emerson smiled. She can use this as an alibi. "Are you positive you can be the witness, Lady Arabelle Weston?" Arabelle nodded.

"Once you testify on the court, you will automatically against your own family and friends. Can you do that?" Arabelle looked at Antonia. She's right. When she testify, her father will be there. It is the Archers after all. He's good friend with Reginald's father.

Deep down, she knows she want to fight her father off. She hates to think that she has to marry Reginald. She hates him. To the core. Arabelle made up her mind. She nodded.

"I'm willing to testify against the Archer. I don't mind."

Keith watched as the Larove leave the school compound. Beside him, Jeffrey was furious to noticed his own seed smiling and talking animatedly with the Larove's.

"Looks like we have to think fast, Jeffrey. Looks like your own daughter is siding them." Keith taunt.

"Keith, I know. I have eyes. I will have little talk with her. Just make sure your son don't do anything stupid to make her hate him more." Jeffrey says.

Keith and Jeffrey quickly covered themselves when the limo that carried the Larove's drove in front of them. "How can they be so powerful? This is our turf. Our land." Keith says through gritted teeth.

"Blame the old cow, Carmen. She was the reason the Larove's name was so popular among the world leaders. They probably befriend with every royal family in the world." Jeffrey says while walking towards the headmistress office.

"Not even one of our so call friends want to help us defeat that disgusting family. Why are they so afraid of them? They're just filthy human beings." Keith walked passed the headmistress's secretary and knocked on the headmistress door.

"Lord Archer, you have to make an appointment." He held up his palm to the secretary. "I don't have time to talk to you vermins." Keith opened the door and closed it before the secretary could stopped them.

The headmistress was on the phone and she was surprised to see her uninvited visitor. "Hello, Diane." Keith smiled.

"I'll call you back." The headmistress says and hang up. Slowly, she went to her phone and call Emerson. "What a surprise. Do you have an appointment?" Keith and Jeffrey shake their heads. "We're old friends. There's no need for that, right, Diane?"

The headmistress sigh.

"Lord Archer..." Keith smiled and shushed the headmistress. "Just call us Keith, and Jeffrey." Now the headmistress began to feel uneasy. "K-eith.." she stuttered. "What is your purpose coming here?" Keith smiled and sat on the chair.

"We just need a little favour. That I'm sure you can help us with." Keith reached for a piece of paper from his suit inside pocket and placed it in front of the headmistress.

"Just tell your selected student to shut their mouth about what happen in the club, if they were summon to the court, for a little trial." The headmistress now know what was happening. She took the paper and read the name.

"I can't do that. It's against the law and justice have to be done. Either their from the nobility or not." The headmistress says. Keith was this close to lost his temper. But Jeffrey cut him off.

"Listen, if you don't do what we ask you to do, we will used our power to shut St. Miriam, down. You know we're capable of doing that and you know how powerful we are as the board of directors of this forsaken old piece of rubbish." Jeffrey try to be as polite as ever.

"Are you threatening me?"

"You can say that but we consider it as a little down side of you decided to against us." Keith smiled. "Remember Diane, against us, and this old building will crumble down."

Keith and Jeffrey stood up and and leave the office with a smile on his face.

When the door was close, the headmistress quickly reached for her phone and talk to Emerson who's been listening to each word they says.

Fleur was on the line to buy some food for dinner when Arabelle went to her side and cut her off. "Excuse me. I've been on this line for forever. You need to go at the back." Everyone near them gasped when Fleur says that to a noble.

Arabelle chuckled. "You're being rude to me, Fleur Larove." Fleur smirked. "Where's your maid princess? Why are you on this line?" Arabelle turned to face Fleur.

"I'm here to invite you to my table. Your friends is waiting." Arabelle didn't wait for Fleur to say anything. She dragged a very hungry Fleur towards her table and forcefully sat her down.

Fleur can't believe her eyes when she noticed Natalie, Poppy and Isabella was eating and didn't even wait for her. "There's plenty of food." Arabelle whispered and sat next to her.

"So you decided to eat without me?" Fleur asked her friends. "You were late." Poppy says with her mouth full. "Manners." Francesca says and tap on Poppy's hand with her spoon.

Arabelle chuckled. She was eating her dinner when she noticed Clementine didn't even say one word the whole time. "Clementine, are you alright?" Clementine looked up from her phone and showed Arabelle the text she received.

"They warned me, Arabelle. What should I do?" Clementine expressed her worried feeling. Arabelle read every word and leaned in. "We will talk about this when we're alone. Now we have guest. Smile." Arabelle whispered.

Clementine try so hard to show her bubbly self. But failing to do so. Fleur placed her spoon down. "Is this about the trial?" She asked. The nobles looked at each other and nodded. Fleur sighed.

"Look. If your having trouble with this, I can tell my parents about this matter. I don't want to make you all fight with your family because of me. It's not worth it. Beside I'm sure my parents can find other witness and proof that I'm innocent."

"But I promise Fleur. A noble will never abandon his or her promise just because of a amateur warning. We can handle ourself. Right girls?" Francesca nodded but not Clementine.

"Let's not talk about this now." Isabelle suddenly interrupts. "We know what you all been through. But, that's not an excuse to punish yourself for it. It's dinner. Food is life and let's enjoy them. Shall we?"

Isabella nod at Arabelle. Arabelle suddenly remembered something. She leaned in to Fleur. "Can you follow me to a place please." Fleur nodded and they both excuse themselves from dinner.

Fleur followed Arabelle to a place she doesn't know actually existed. "Where are we? Are we still in the school?" Arabelle chuckled. "Of course. This is where the astronomy club gather when there's a meteor shower."

Arabelle sat on the grass and patted the side for Fleur. Fleur sat next to Arabelle and looked at the night view. "The botanic club actually created this mini garden/forest for the purpose of the club activity. It's also the perfect place to study them and for some student to date."

Fleur chuckled. "Are we dating?" Arabelle blushed when she heard Fleur's question. "No! Where did you get that idea." Fleur laughed at how red she turned to. "Only someone in denial will be blushed this hard."

Arabelle pushed Fleur away when she continued to laughed. But when Fleur noticed she's not laughing with her, she apologise.

"I always come here when I need some alone time or just to relax." Fleur turned to Arabelle. "Are you having some trouble with your family too?" Arabelle gave Fleur a small nod.

"But I don't care. It's time for me to say something about all this arrange life. My father just want to keep everything in order after what happen to my older brother, Lewis."

Fleur scooted closer to Arabelle and wrapped her arms around her shoulder. "Hey. If this cause too much stress to you, it's okay. You don't have to testify for me. I can handle it on my own." Arabelle shake her head.

"I don't want anything to happen to you, Fleur. I... Care about you." Fleur could actually feel every oxygen leaving her body. Was she hearing this right? Did Arabelle just say she care about her?!

"You.. care?" Arabelle slowly nodded. She turns to Fleur and smiled. "I care Fleur. I really do." Arabelle slowly leaned in and so does Fleur. Fleur know where is this going.

When their lips touch each other, the butterflies in their guts exploded. Fleur lightly bite on Arabelle's lower lips and she gave Fleur the access to explored her inside.

They were making out and Fleur know if this gets any further, they will need a lot of explanation to donto their friends. She pulled away and rest her forehead on Arabelle's, breathing tentatively.

"Oh god.." was all Fleur's says when Arabelle chuckled.
