A/N: This is the old chapter 2, and takes place 2 hours after the last chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Jessica walks around the palace searching for the library while writing in her journal( it's 600 pages) to remember the way. Prince Adam rounds the corner and immediately notices Jessica.

He walks up to her and taps her on the shoulder(they weren't supposed to meet till the next day.) Jessica turns around surprised by the touch and automatically- without thinking- hits him in the head with her journal not noticing who it was.
"Ow! what was that for?" He yells- still keeping his voice quiet enough so no palace staff comes to investigate- his slight British accent coming out while he holds his head

"Oh my" she says quietly immediately realizing who it was, "I'm so sorry. So so sorry. I didn't realize, I didn't see it was you. Are you okay?" She asks hoping she didn't blow her only chance with him- it was just her first day.

"Yeah I'm fine," he says with a little edge, dropping his hand and looking curiously at her, "What's your name?"

"Jessica Eveswift." She says trying not to meet his wandering(sparkling) eyes.

"Yes, I remember you. One of the many threes but one of the only interesting ones." He says remembering her form(he had spent a long time looking at it because of all the info on it).

"Really? Mostly I just try and keep a full plate." She says hoping he had read her form and knows why.

"Ah yes, I get why you would. How is your family's photography business going?" He asks changing the topic slightly knowing neither if the wanted to continue the other topic at least not until they half to.

She looks up a little more surprised at what he asked. "very well now because of me being in the Selection and all." She says slightly.

"Yes that's normally the case when the selected are announced." He says returning the smile- though his was much more captivating.

She nods- agreeing with him and shaking the thought about his smile out of her head. "So what are you doing out at 9:30 at night?" She asks curiously

"I could ask you the same thing." He says the adding "but I just couldn't sleep with meeting all you girls tomorrow. Taking a walk is a better plan to me then waiting for sleep that will never come." He explains giving her a moment to process before asking, "What are you doing?"

"I was in search of the library." She says automatically.
"Well would you like me to escort you there?" He offers seeing the tiny spark of excitement in her when he offers that.

"That would be wonderful, though are you really allowed to- due to the fact that we aren't supposed to meet till tomorrow?" She asks knowing the rules

"I guess that is true, but I do et to pick where we meet tomorrow, I could change it to the library. Would you like that?" He asks- even though he knows she would say yes.

"That would be lovely." She says smiling a little larger.

"I'll meet you there at 3." He says then realizes that she didn't know where it was. "It's around the corner and straight through double doors on the left." He says.

She finishes up writing down the directions and time. "Got it. Till then Prince Adam."

"Till then Lady Jessica." He says smiling largely

She nods a good bye to him and heading off towards the library while Adam follows her with his eyes then walks off in the other direction
