Flower boy

1. Books

     George POV:

I was in my room reading. Which was nothing over the usal. I found a book in the library a few days earlier and it was a book called "hunger games". I've heard a few other people talk about it so when I saw it i tought "well might as well give it a try". There was not a lot to do around the castle but luckily we had a HUGE library and I enjoyed reading so it was quite perfect. I was sitting on my bed with the book in my hand until i heard someone call my name

I went out the door of my room and rushed down the stairs. My mom was standing there talking to someone. In that moment I begged with my heart and soul it was not another proposal, but I knew deep inside that it was. I just stood there for a few awkward seconds until mom noticed i was standing there

"Oh there you are George!" She said and turned around to the strange man again "Okay so this is my son George, George this is Wilbur the father of Ophelia" She said pointing at the man standing there. "Wilbur", he said with a smile. I awkwardly took his hand and replied. "George". Mom started speaking again now turned towards me. "okay, ophelia will arrive in a few minutes so please get yourself ready" mom said and turned around to continue her conversation with Wilbur

I went upstairs and walked into the bathroom. I closed and locked the door behind me. I started getting ready and brushed my hair with the nearest comb I could find. Then I took out my mom's makeup bag. I didn't use a lot, just some blush but still for some weird reason when I put it on I actually felt..pretty . I don't know why but i felt it every time i put it on.

 When I was done getting ready, I unlocked the door and went down the stairs again. My mom must have heard my footsteps because when I came down she turned around "ah George! perfect timing Ophelia just arrived!" she said to me with a smile

I let out a small sigh. I thought the proposals were pointless, cause the girls who where trying to ask me out i never felt ANYTHING for them. Sure they were pretty and all that but i never felt a "romantic" attraction. So i knew that i was just gonna decline later on. But we went for a stroll in the garden anyway. "so...uh..what do you like to do?" i started off the conversation with. She told me that she usually would hangout with her friends or paint "how about you?" she asked me with a smile.

 I told her that i read a lot and that we had a big library with books. "otherwise i also enjoy painting" i added. I saw her face light up in a smile and then she started asking me about what my favorite thing to paint was, my favorite artist you know the usual stuff. After our walk we stood outside the entrance ready to say goodbye "it was nice talking to you today" she said and smiled "yeah you too" i said and smiled back

She went over to her carriage were Wilbur was getting ready to go home. She turned around and waved one last time before disappearing into the carriage. Then i heard a familiar voice behind me "soooo how was she?" mom asked with a grin, hoping that i'd say i'll marry this girl i just met "she was nice and all yea..." i replied She sighed and said "George you can't continue like this! Our kingdom is gonna fall if you don't marry someone soon!" she said. I didn't reply and she just sighed and mumbled i'll make dinner now

I decided to go up to my room and continue the book I was reading. It would help to get my mind off things. I walked up the stairs, went into my room and as usual collapsed onto my bed. I sighed. Mom was right, if i didn't marry someone soon the kingdom would fall! and of course i didn't want that to happen. But I still wanted to marry someone i..loved.

 Man i'm really starting to think there's something wrong with me, i mean everyone has had at least one crush. But my crush count has stayed at 0 for as long as i can remember. It's not that none of the girls i meet are "not attractive", it's just thinking about romantically being affectionate with them just..doesn't feel right. Oh well I'm gonna use my remaining brain power to read instead of this.

Mom called down for dinner, so i put down my book and went down the stairs. It smelled absolutley amazing and for my luck it was my favorite food. Mushroom stew. I sat down at the table with my parents and started eating. I did my best to not eat it all within 5 minutes. "so George how was ur day?", my dad started talking. "it was fine, i found a new book in the library thats really good", i said putting another spoon of stew in my mouth.

 Dad then started rambling about some investment he made. I didnt really listen since i wad more focused on getting the stew to cool down so i didnt burn my tounge. "Oh and George we forgot to tell you we hired someone new to take care of the garden, since mr.philza was too old to take care of it anymore", mom said and looked at me.

I felt a little sad because of that, since mr.philza was kinda like a grandpa to me. But hopefully the new one plants as beautiful pink roses as he did, the roses were always my favorite in the garden. They have always been my favorite ever since I read in a book that roses symbolize love and that the different colors also have different meanings.

 The pink one symbolizes admiration, sympathy,grace,joy and sweetness. I like the blue roses too, mostly because of their color but they symbolize the unattainable and the impossible. 

I We finished our food and i put the dishes in the sink. "thanks for the food", i said while walking up the stairs to continue the book and maybe just relax. "oh george wait", my mom said wich made me stop and turn around.

 "I forgot to tell you sapnap, bad and skeppy are coming over and staying for a couple of days, they'll arrive tomorrow", she said without breaking eye contact with me. "Alright then, sounds good", I said and gave her a small smile. She smiled back at me and continued doing the dishes.

 I decided to brush my teeth and get in to my more comfy clothes. in to the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I brushed my teeth and I took some water to wash my face, since I didn't want to go to bed with the makeup on. When I was done I unlocked the door and went into my room to continue the book. It was very interesting and I was hoping we had more of the series in the library.

 I was kinda tired after everything going on today so i decided to go to bed early. I stood up and got out of bed and went over too the stairs. "I'll go to bed now! Goodnight!"I shouted, making sure they heard me. "okay goodnight george!", my mom responded.

I went back to my room again and layed down on my bed.I didn't feel like reading anymore so I turned the light off. I looked up into the ceiling just thinking. I had to get married soon, I knew that. But maybe one will come along? I mean there must be someone.

What if maybe they are actually right before my eyes?
