My Bubblegum Prince novel Chapter 8

Paxton Flynn

"I'm dead. I'm dead. God, I'm dead."

"Would you stop talking and walking? Just take a seat." Sebastian said crossing his leg over the other as he made himself at home.

How is that even possible?!

"How can you be so calm?" I asked him, my hands flying around. "We're in trouble. Principal Robbins would suspend or even expel us, my future."

I felt tears brewing up, I've never been in here before. This can't be happening to me. My parents don't have enough money, I'll surely be expelled.

"Are you going to cry?" Sebastian asked uncrossing his legs once more.

"This is all your fault!" I accused him.

"Right, then be calm. I'll take all the blame." He says calmly.

"What?"

"You heard me."

"And why would you do that?" I asked him.

"I'd do anything to escape the torture of watching you cry. A girl crying is torture enough."

"I wasn't going to cry."

He raised his brows at me, "well you look like you're gonna shit your pants and that's just as terrible. Much more terrible."

I couldn't help the smile and chuckle that followed after. "I feel like crying just to spite you."

"Please don't."

I sighed getting a bit serious, "what if we're asked to pay for the broken equipments?"

"I'll take care of that. The only problem would be them calling my father, then I'll have to shift all the blame to you." My eyes widened as the words left his mouth and he smiled- the first smile I've ever seen on him - "I'm joking, don't freak out. But calling my dad won't be cool."

"You have enough money to pay for everything without involving your dad?" I asked taking a seat. He nodded. "What are you? A crown prince?"

He smirked, "of course, Sebastian Crown, crown Prince of so so kingdom. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?"

"So so kingdom?" I asked him amused.

"Well even if I don't have a kingdom. I'm from the Crown family and I'm a Prince, so Crown Prince." He chuckled at his own joke and it was infectious.

"Yeah but there's just one big flaw, a Prince is supposed to be charming, you're anything but." I stated.

He smiled, "only you seem to think that Flynn, only you."

If only he knew.

I couldn't say another word because Principal Robbins barged into the office immediately. Walking as straight as a pole with her head up high. Some students said she's a real witch but I haven't been on the receiving end of her broomstick or wand before. This is my first time and I'm afraid for my life, a little part of me for Sebastian too.

She didn't say a word until she was comfortably sat on her spinning leather chair. Then her eyes shifted from Sebastian to me. "Mr Crown what are you here for again, isn't this the third time this week?"

"Er fourth actually." Sebastian said and she frowned at him more, then her narrowed eyes stopped at me.

"What's your name?"

"Paxton Flynn." I replied, "Mister Paxton Flynn or just Paxton. But you can call me Flynn or Mister Flynn, whichever you choose, I really don't mind, it's up to you to do whatev-"

"Shush." She said and I clamped my mouth shut immediately biting on lower lip. I could see Sebastian raising an amused brow at me and I just blushed red. "Paxton Flynn, new blood in crime I see."
