One Of The Selected (Sophitz)

Chapter 4

The next day I didn't find Linh at the dining table during breakfast. So I made no other social interaction with anybody and had a pretty lonely breakfast. But I also didn't see Fitz either so I figured out that they were probably together somewhere and to not feel jealous. 

I made my way to the Women's room, picked up the book I started reading yesterday and sat by myself. When I heard the door open I looked and saw Linh coming towards me. 

"Hey Linh, I didn't see you during breakfast," she smiled and sat down. 

"I was on a date with Fitz! It was so romantic. We had a small picnic in the gardens and it was so beautiful," as she sontinued talking I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Linh was one of the first out 26 girls to be asked out on a date. 

"Sophie? You there?" she waved a hand in front of my face and I snapped out of my thoughts and nodded. 

"Yeah, what were you saying?" 

"I just can't believe I was probably the first girl he went out on a date with! This is so exciting!" I smiled at my new friends excitement. 

"I'm happy for you Linh," and then a small group of girls walked up to us. 

"Hi. Uhm we were wondering if you actually knew the Prince," one of them said. I heard a scoff from behind them and then I saw Stina Heks. 

"Like she could be friends with the prince," she said. 

"It's true. She's told me a bunch of stories from there childhood," she once again scoffed, putting a hand on her hip. 

"Why should you believe what she says. She could tell you those made up stories to make it to the final three." 

"If you think I'm lying then tell me how much you know about the prince," I say standing up. She rolled her eyes. 

"I don't have time for this. Let's go girls," she snapped there fingers as if they were dogs and when she started walking away, the girls followed. 

"Well that sure got her to go away." Linh commented. 

"Yeah, and just so you know none of what she said was right," Linh smiled. 

"Don't worry  I didn't believe her anyways. We're friends. We trust each other but I don't understand how so many people love her. After talking to her for like 3 minutes she already got me irritated."

"I know. I feel bad for her maids," Linh nodded. 

"There's actually someone I have to introduce you too," she looked confused but I grabbed her hand and we left the Women's room. As we were walking in the halls we passed Fitz. 

"Hey Sophie, Hello Linh. I enjoyed our date earlier," he said. 

"I did too," she responded. 

"And I'm look forward to ours Soph. Now if you'll excuse me I have something to attend. I'll see you girls later," he gave us both kisses on the cheeks and left us.

"Oh my god he was totally flirting with you!" 

"Shhhhh. He just left and these halls are echoey," I scold. 

"Sorry but he totally was!"

"No he didn't," I denied "He only said he was looking forward to our date that's all."

"Believe what you want, but I know what I heard," I roll my eyes. 

"Okay fine follow me," I lead her to outside the castle and to the stables and there stood my horse Silveny. She neighed and I walked to her and started stroking her mane.
