The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapters 2 & 3

Chapter 2: Daydreaming at School.

I was daydreaming at school, thinking about how I could convince John, to pay for the trip to Jerusalem. The city is not safe for a girl to travel alone, and I don't want my parents to come with me, because I have a purpose that can get them in trouble. Maybe I could use religious fervor as the reason I left? John would certainly be happy if I visited the holy city of his ancestors, because he was a devout Jew.

While I was busy daydreaming, Joshua approached me. Joshua is the dream of every teenage girl: Handsome, charming, first-team players in rugby, football and cricket. However, he is not my cup of tea. I was not particularly interested in**** or boys, and my good looks were more of a curse, than a blessing, as boys kept approaching me.

"So, I'm having this party Friday night ... Do you want to come?" Joshua asked.

"But Josh, I thought you were playing Rugby on Saturday morning?" I can say that my answer made Joshua a little uncomfortable, but he found himself quickly.

"Well, I think I did both." Josh answered.

"It's okay, you're young and you should be fine." I told.

"So, umm, do you want to come?" Joshua asked nervously.

Did ya? The answer is no. Taking different substances to mess up the chemical response in my brain, stupid idea! But then I remembered something: My secret half-brother, Eric Orchard, who was the same age as me, had talked about his feelings for this girl, Lindsey, from my class. If Lindsey goes to the party, I can help my sister. Eric has suffered from depression, primarily from growing up without a father, and while partnering with Lindsey is not necessarily the best long-term solution, I want to see him happy.

"Did Lindsey McGowan and Eric Orchard come to the party?" I asked.

Joshua looked at me with a confused expression , and replied , “Yes, Lindsey said she was happy to come. As for Eric, why do you ask? No one likes it. "

I considered saying Joshua, that Eric ha d a pure soul from him, and that there was more to life than good looks and success, he said, but I realized that such a sweet lampooning approach would not yield any favorable results. Instead, I took Joshua's hand, looked him in the eye and spoke in a soft voice, "Please invite him for my sake, he's lonely, and he won't cause any trouble."

I could feel that Joshua was aroused when I held his hand. While this is a bit confusing for me, it is also a relief. It hurts me to reject someone who really likes me, but in Joshua's case, he was just sexually attracted to me, and he'll be fine. I studied his face to get a little bit of a picture of his mindset, and, finally, he spoke. "Yes, you can take your gay friends to the party if you want." I thought about showing that Eric wasn't gay, but I wasn't. It serves everyone better, if Joshua thinks of Eric as gay, and not a contender for my affection.

Chapter 3: The Chess Club.

Then the same day, I was playing chess against Eric. Chess alone is just a reason to meet in a safe and friendly environment. Eric doesn't know that we're in a relationship, that we have the same father. I have withheld information from him, because I have predicted that telling the truth is not a smart idea. Either he'll believe that I'm a crazy liar, or he'll believe me, and I'll destroy his memory of his father, Marvin Orchard. Eric has a glorified image of his father, the father who died when he was just a few months old . D upholding that image, by claiming that his father had an affair just months before his death, is not the path to take.

I enjoy spending time with my siblings. Although, since she didn't know that we were related, she tried to kiss me once, and I was terrified.

Today, I decided to lose the game of chess in 37 moves. My mental connection with the True Creator made chess too easy for me to win. Even the highest level of difficulty in computers is not a challenge. But losing a certain number of moves is much more challenging, as it takes more brainpower to lose a game in a certain way than it does to win. I had to maneuver the game, and I could feel how it broadened my mindset. After reaching the target of losing 37 moves, I smiled at Eric and praised him for a good match.

"Sabina, stop letting me win on purpose. That's not the way real life works! " Said Eric

I Faked my surprise and replied, “ I'm not letting you win. Why would you say such a thing? "

“I saw you beat the AI at a holographic chessboard competition the other day. You beat the AI at the Kasparov difficulty level, one of the most difficult chess games s to ever be beaten. ” Eric reveals

I looked at Eric and decided to come out clean. I laughed and said, “Yes, you were right. I have lost my purpose. But it's just because I enjoy spending time with you. ”

"You like spending time with me, but you lied to me?" Eric asked angrily.

I decided that this was far enough. I grabbed Eric's hand and looked him in the eye. “ I didn't lie to you, I let you win to build your confidence. Unfortunately, you're too smart for me and see it. ”

Eric sighed , and said, “ Ignorance is happiness. I'd better not know that you accidentally lost me. "

"Sure that!" I answered while smiling mischievously.

I decided to move on to a lighter topic and said, “So Eric, would you like to come with me to Joshua's party on Friday night? Lindsey's gonna be there. " I winked at Eric, and, for a moment, I could see the smile in his eyes before he fell into grief again.

“Did Joshua really invite me to his party? He doesn't even like me ” Eric said skeptically.

“ Well technically, he invited me. You just came as my best friend, so I can help you get closer to Lindsey. ” I replied and winked.

Eric looked at me worried. “Thank you, Sabina . But I'm worried about you. Joshua is obsessed with you. You don't want to hear the things he says about you. "

"You may be right about that" I said casually.

After a short silence, I assured d Eric that it was fine to go to Joshua's feast. I smiled at him and spoke, “See, Eric . I'm aware that Joshua really wants to be in touch*** with me. But I can handle myself, and I'm glad he doesn't have an emotional bond with me. I hate hurting people. ” I saw my watch and spoke . "I have to go home now, but I'll see you on Friday . I'll be very pleasant. "

As I walked home, I thought about what Eric said about Joshua. Should I really go to a party or not? I don't like parties or being around young people like me, taking various recreational drugs to change their minds and get high. I'm very happy with my thoughts, exactly like that. Drinking a cup of tea, learning the intricate design and beauty of flowers is much more interesting than ingesting various chemicals, hoping to be received from peers. If I want to experience a physical closeness and *** remarkable* with someone, and I am sure I will, one day, I prefer to experience it with my full awareness.

When I got home, I told the AI in my room to turn on my favorite music album, "The Best of Chopin," and I found peace from perfect balance and harmony , that only good music can bring.
