    There was something different about the new boy in school. He had an air of elegance that radiated confidence, making him stand out among the others. His name was Prince Ethan, and he was a transfer student in the high school literature class.

    The girl sitting next to him was Lucy, just an ordinary girl with a love for books, but she struggled with literature, especially Shakespeare. She was paired up with Ethan, and that's where their story began.

    Ethan, with his knowledge of Shakespeare, started helping Lucy. His explanations were so clear and precise, it felt like Shakespeare himself was teaching her.

    As days turned into weeks, Lucy found herself looking forward to literature class. The prince was patient, kind, and a great tutor. He had a unique way of making the complex texts seem simple.

    Ethan, on the other hand, was unknowingly falling in love with Lucy. Her passion for learning and her determination to conquer her difficulties in literature had won his heart.

    He loved the way her eyes lit up when she understood something, the way she scrunched her nose when she was thinking hard, and the small smile that played on her lips when she finally got a Shakespearean sonnet right.

    But Lucy was oblivious to Ethan's feelings. She considered him as just a friend, a study partner. She didn't see the longing in his eyes, nor the subtle hints he dropped.

    One day, during a study session, Ethan mustered up the courage to declare his love for Lucy. He hoped that she would feel the same way, but he was ready for any response.

    He confessed his feelings, his voice barely above a whisper, his heart pounding in his chest. Lucy was taken aback. She hadn't seen this coming, she had never thought about Ethan in this way.

    She looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity and love in them. She was silent for a moment, processing what he had just said. Then, she did something that surprised both of them.

    She leaned in and kissed him. It was a soft, gentle kiss, full of surprise but not devoid of affection. It was their first kiss, and it was magical.

    After the kiss, Lucy realized that she had feelings for Ethan too. She had been so engrossed in her studies and overcoming her fears of literature that she had failed to notice her growing affection for him.

    They started dating and their bond grew stronger. Ethan continued helping Lucy with literature and she started teaching him about the normal life he had missed while living as a prince.

    They loved each other's company. Whether they were studying, or just hanging out, every moment felt like a fairytale for them. They were just a prince and a normal girl, but their love was extraordinary.

    Their classmates started noticing the change in them. Their chemistry was undeniable. They were the talk of the school, a prince in love with a normal girl, it was like a fairytale coming to life.

    They graduated high school together, their love still strong. Ethan decided to stay and live a normal life with Lucy. He didn't want the life of a prince, he wanted a life with her.

    And Lucy, she had found her prince. Not a prince from a fairytale, but a prince from her literature class. A prince who loved her for who she was and not for what she could be.

    They went to college together, pursuing their dreams. They faced challenges, but their love for each other only grew stronger. They were each other's support, their pillar of strength.

    Years passed, they got married and lived a normal life, far away from the luxuries of the palace. But they were happy, they had each other and their love. That's all they needed.

    Their story was not just a high school romance, it was a tale of true love, a love that stood the test of time. A love that was genuine, pure, and beautiful.

    And so, Lucy learned that falling in love is not about finding a prince with a crown, but about finding a prince with a loving heart. And she had found hers in Ethan, the prince of her own fairytale.
