Sophie's POV
Once class was over, I went to the palace entrance. A few minutes later, he didn't show up so I sat down on the bench near the palace entrance. It was 12:10, which meant lunch started 10 minutes ago in the palace. When he didn't show up at 12:20, I began to think of reasons why he didn't show up.
Maybe I heard him wrong?
Maybe he's getting the food?
Maybe he said 12:30? I glanced at my watch 12:35.
Well, then maybe he meant 12:45?
Maybe he's setting up the garden?
Then, all of my thoughts vanished, and one took their place.
Maybe he doesn't care about me.
My thoughts were interrupted by Linh waving her hand around my face yelling my name.
"Sophie? Hello??"
But I couldn't focus. Even when Linh yelled my name more than 5 times. There more thoughts came into my mind.
Maybe he thinks I'm a freak.
Maybe he doesn't want to spend time with a freak.
Maybe he forgot.
But there was that one thought, still at the front of my mind.
Maybe he doesn't care about me.
"SOPHIE!!!"
I blinked and came back to reality.
"What?"
Linh, Marella, and Maruca now stood in front of me, all wearing concerned/worried expressions.
"Whatareyoudoingherewhyweren'tyouthereforlunchwhathappenedare you okay" Marella asked quickly.
"Whoa, slow down Marella." Maruca said.
"Sorry." She mumbled after catching her breath. "I'm just worried."
"We all are." Linh said. "What happened?"
I explained everything, from Fitz asking me to eat lunch with him until now. They all knew the story of Fitz and I.
Is it 'Fitz and I' or 'Me and Fitz'? I can never get them right. Comment the answer right here!
"Well? Where is he then?" Maruca asked.
"I don't know."
"You don't know where he is?" Marella asked.
"Nope."
Just when Linh opened her mouth, someone came through the palace door.
It was Biana.
"Where were you guys? I've been looking everywhere for you!" She demanded.
So I explained what happened for the second time today. By the time I finished Biana looked like she was going to explode.
"WHAT? HE TOLD YOU TO MEET HIM HERE AND HE DOESN'T EVEN COME??"
"Yes." I replied.
"I'M GOING TO SLAP HIM WHEN I SEE HIM UNTIL HE CAN'T EVEN WALK AND NEEDS SOMEONE FOR SUPPORT!" Biana yelled.
"Not if he already needs support." A voice said. "I'm surprised you haven't heard yet being his sister and all."
We all turned to the direction of the voice. I gasped when I saw who it was. The person smirked.
"Miss me Foster?"
