" Robin hood, you are grandson of Robin hood. Wow, best fairy-tale ever," said Rose excitedly, running around Kris and looking him from top to bottom.

Kris looked at girl running around him and something sparked inside him. He had never seen someone as beautiful and cheerful as her.

"Come down Rose dear and take your seat," headmistress Cinderella said pleasantly.

Rose came back to her seat but she was still excited.

His eyes followed Rose and a smile came to his lips, "Rose, not a bad name either" he muttered under his breath.

" Kris you will join Vicky's team," headmistress Cinderella continued.

"No, I don't want any goody- goody grandkid in my team," Vicky thought but chose to remain silent.

The opening ceremony ended and everyone dispersed and went to their first lesson of the day, the dragon riding class.

In the dragon arena the students were talking while waiting for their Coach Beast.

Curious to know more about this girl named Rose, Kris moved towards the group of students, among them was the one he wanted to talk to.

"Um hi, I am Kris, Kris Robin hood," he said shyly as an attempt to make a conversation.

At a little distance Vicky and Cyrus were looking for their new team member, "Oh! Look our new team mate is talking to those goody- goody grandkids. This is disgusting. Look how nice he is. I hate him already. I have to do something of him," said Vicky in an irritated tone.

"As if we don't know," Hawk spoke bitterly. He can't understand but there was something he didn't like in Kris, making him uncomfortable.

Kris ignored him. " I am new here, would you mind showing me around," he said directly to Rose.

"Oh! I would love to. By the way I m Rose, Rose Cinderella," she replied in her all time cheerful voice.

This angered Hawk to no bounds, as if someone is not asking Rose to give a tour of the school but asking her out on a date.

"We all will come. We are friends you know. We always go everywhere together," Hawk said in a matter- of- fact tone.

Kris raised an eyebrow and looked the boy in front of him, as if scanning him from top to bottom. There was something he didn't like in Hawk either.

"Yes, it will be so much fun," Rose said cheerfully.

"And who are you?" Asked Kris directing his question towards Hawk.

"I am Hawk, Hawk Snow White," said Hawk proudly.

Kris nodded and looked hopefully towards the others as if asking a silent question.

"I am Astoria Rapunzel."

"I am JoyLe Frog."

"I am Lingling Ironfan."

"I am Travis Beast."

"Nice to meet you all. So um Rose how about after the school. I'll meet you all in the hall. See you later," said Kris with a wide smile on his face.

Rose and the others nodded except Hawk.

Having said this, Kris turned and went back to his group.

After the school all six of them were waiting for the new student to turn up. It's been half an hour since the school ended but there was no sign of Kris.

Astoria was reading her favourite book, joy was eating her bug sandwich, Lingling was practicing her fight moves, Travis and Hawk were talking and Rose was playing with her pumpkin cuties. All were waiting impatiently and were doing something or the other to kill the time.

"Is this Robin Hood some kind of VIP or something, making us all to wait for him. Is he going to come or not? If he doesn't show up in 5 minutes, I'll leave," said Hawk irritated because of waiting so long.

Suddenly they all heard footsteps coming towards them. They all turned to see who it was, it was Kris.

"Our little VIP finally showed up after making us wait for so long," said Hawk bitterly.

Kris ignored Him and directed his words towards Rose, " I am really sorry you have to wait for me, I had some stuff to do. I am really sorry."

"Its ok now that you are here we will give you the tour," said Rose pleasantly.

"But Rose," Hawk started. Before he could complete Rose cut him in mid sentence, " Its really okay Hawk. Let's go"

Kris felt mysteriously so happy as well as relieved to hear Rose's words for Hawk. He gave Hawk a triumphant smile. Hawk felt that same anger bubbling inside him.

Others were also angry but they did not say anything because of Rose. They don't want to upset her.

All of them left the hall. They showed him different places of regal academy. As the tour progressed Hawk noticed that Kris was looking more at Rose then the place they were showing him. He was constantly giving Rose a foolish smile. Something was burning inside Hawk, he had never felt so much anger before. He felt like grabbing Rose by hand and taking her out of This Robin Hood's eyes. But he tried to calm himself.

"And lastly this is Cinderella ball room," said Rose cheerfully.

"Wow! It's amazing. So its where the dance class is held. Cool. Um Rose would you like to dance with me in the next dance class?" asked Kris softly, silently praying for Rose to say yes.

"No," someone shouted. It wasn't Rose but Hawk. This was the last straw for Hawk' anger. He came forward just in front of Kris and said angrily, " We have our partners fixed and Rose always dances with me. AND SHE WILL DANCE ONLY WITH ME."

Having said this Hawk stormed out of the room.

"Rose," started Kris. But she was no longer listening. Her eyes followed Hawk.

"Hawk wait," she shouted and ran after him out of the room.

The occupants of the room were oblivious to the fact that someone was watching them.

"It turns out that our new team mate has something for this goody- goody Cinderella. Well I can use this to eliminate Rose out of my path once and for all," Vicky gave an evil smile as she whispered this to Cyrus.
