One Of The Selected (Sophitz)

Chapter 9

Today was the day of the report. Fitz had gotten better so that's why he was announcing the first three girls that he will be eliminating during dinner and after The Report. The girls were getting me ready for the report. If it was brought up, then Fitz would be announcing that we had kissed. And I was positive that it was going to be brought up. I took in deep breaths as the girls announced me finished. 

"All right! You're all set! We'll be watching The Report let's hope it'll be good," Mary said, clapping her hands. 

"Off you go! We'll see later!" Amelia said. I waved goodbye and walked out the room and to the set of The Report. I saw more than half the girls already there and the Royal family as well. 

"Sophie!" I heard a voice behind and saw Fitz. He waved me over to him and I walked over to the where he and the Royal family was gathered. Fitz put his hands on my shoulders and looked into my brown eyes as I stared into his beautiful teal ones. 

"Are you sure you want to announce to everyone about the fact that we've kissed?" I nodded hesitantly. 

"Yes, I do," I was kind of lying and of course Fitz knew I was. 

"You're lying," I hated how he knew me so well. 

"Fitz I just want to get it over with, the faster the better," he shook his head. 

"Soph, we don't have to say it today. I want you to be comfortable when we share the news," I stood straighter, and I had more confidence in my tone of voice. 

"Fitz I'll be okay. It's better telling them now before someone finds out and puts it on the newspaper," he exhaled and brought me in a hug. 

"Okay if that's what you want," he kisses the top of my head and breaks apart from the hug.

"Everybody on set!" Fitz gives me one last wink and I followed the selected and got a seat. 

"We're in live in 5..4..3..2..1!" 

"Hello this is Marella Redek with The Report! It's now been two weeks since our Prince has selected 26 girls to be in the selection! Now tell us Prince when will you start eliminating girls?" she asked. 

"Tonight," he answered. 

"Ooooh mind telling us?" he shook his head. 

"My lips are sealed." she pouted. 

"All right your Highness I know it's only the second week but I'm curious... have you kissed any girls yet?" silence filled the room as everyone waited for his answer. 

"Yes, I have." 

"Oooooh who is this mystery girl?" Fitz smirked. 

"She'll have to tell you herself," he answered.

"Since the Prince isn't budging, we will call all the selected one by one until we find the girl that the prince has kissed. Now I will call Stina Heks!" Stina stands up with a fake smile on her face and makes her way to the chair. 

"Hello Stina! How are you doing today?" 

"Quite well thank you," she answered. 

"Everybody says you'll be the next queen of Everglen because of your popularity. Would you agree with them?" 

"Me and the Prince have grown quite close over the past two weeks, and I can't say I agree because there are several other wonderful and beautiful girls that I'm up against." Marella smiled. I rolled my eyes at her phoniness and hoped the cameras didn't catch me doing that.

"How sweet. Now tell us. Are you mystery girl that the prince has kissed?" Stina shook her head. 

"Of course not! Me and the Prince have only known each other for a short period of time. Who kisses someone they've known for only two weeks?"
