One Of The Selected (Sophitz)

Chapter 19

I got myself ready for me and Fitz's date. I wore an outfit that I didn't mind getting dirty. I planned on wearing a dress... but my maids didn't let me, so I just settled for a tunic and some pants. I put my hair in a ponytail and heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw Fitz. 

"You ready to go?" I nodded and grabbed his hand, closing the door behind me. We started walking in the palace and we arrived in the kitchens where there were several ingredients on the counter. 

"We're baking!" Fitz said, with jazz hands. 

"Wow, I don't know what to say," he seemed to notice the tone in my voice and put the jazz hands down.

"We're making Mallowmelt," my eyes lit up. 

"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get baking!" he chuckled at my enthusiasm. 

"All right the kitchen maids gave us a recipe for the Mallowmelt so it doesn't end up being a total disaster." he said, showing me the paper, that had the recipe. Once we reached the step where we had to put the flour in, I poured only a teensy bit on him, but he had to over react and threw a fistful of flour on me. 

"Fitz! I'm so going to get you!" I grabbed two fistfuls of flour and threw it at him. And so the flour fight began. And by the end we looked like snowmen with hair. We were laughing hysterically and we weren't even half way done with the recipe. 

"We look so ridiculous!" I clutched my stomach because it started hurting from laughing to much. Once the laughter died down, we took in deep breaths and continued on with the recipe. 

Once we put it in I stared in the oven as if it would bake it faster. It didn't. 

"Why don't we take showers to pass some time? Once we finish let's just meet back here, got it?" I nodded and we left the kitchens and made our way to our bedrooms. I took a warm and relaxing shower, after laughing at myself in the mirror for like 5 minutes and brushed my hair and dried it. I made my way to the kitchens where I saw Fitz taking the Mallowmelt out of the oven. I ran over to the dessert and clapped my hands happily. 

"Let's wait for it to cool down and then we can dig in," he said. I sat on the clean counter and kicked my legs like a little kid. 

"This was fun," I said. He smiled and gave a me a quick kiss. 

"I had fun too," I smiled and ran a hand through his hair, bringing his soft lips to mine again. He brought me closer to him and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We broke apart for air and I rested my forehead on his. 

"I love you Soph." I smiled and he cupped my face and stroked my cheek with his thumb. 

"I love you too," he gave me another quick kiss before he helped me off the counter and grabbed two spoons. We started eating the amazing dessert. 

"Damn, this good," I nodded my head putting another spoonful of the delicious Mallowmelt. Once we ate about half of it, we put it in the fridge and left the kitchens. Fitz wanted to take a stroll through the gardens. 

"Soph, you know.... Dex and Keefe are training, you wanna prank them?" 

"You got the supplies?" he nodded and smirked. 

"Then let's do it," we ran back in the castle and Fitz got the pranking supplies which only ended up being two colors of dye. He held up a green and purple color. 

"Who gets what color?" 

"Keefe gets purple and Dex gets the green one," he nodded and snuck into Keefe's room. I stayed outside to stand guard and he came out and did the same in Dex's room. 

"All right, I'm all done. Now we wait." So we wasted a long time before we heard two screams from the different rooms. Fitz smiled at that. Once the boys had finished they stomped over to me and Fitz and we immediately started laughing. 

"Nice hair boys," they both rolled there eyes. 

"This isn't funny you guys. When will this wear off?" Keefe asked. 

"About 2-3 days or so," Fitz answered. 

"Seriously! You're saying I'm stuck with this for that long?!" 

"Did I stutter?" Keefe rolled his eyes. 

"I kind of like it," Dex shrugged. 

"Fitz! You messed up The Hair! I am so going to get you back for this," Fitz smiled at his friend, snapping a picture. 

"I hate you." Keefe stomped away and Dex waved good bye before leaving. 

"It feels good to get revenge on them," Fitz said. 

"I'm sure it does. I have to go get ready for dinner, my maids insisted," I started getting up and but he grabbed my hand, stopping me. He brought me closer to him and I ended up being on top of him. I turned a deep red and my heart started racing. 

"Not without my good bye kiss," he said a smirk on his face. I gave him a quick peck but apparently that wasn't good enough for him. 

"You call that a kiss?" He brought my lips to his, both hands on my waist. We broke apart, our faces only a centimeter apart. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and get off him. 

"Now I really get going, I'll see you later, I love you," I closed the door and heard a "Love you too" from the other side of the the door. I walk to my bedroom and see my maids ready. 

"Sophie! You're late! We only have 30 minutes to get you ready?!" Amelia scolded. 

"It's fine," I wore the dress the girls had picked out for me and then they quickly did my hair and kicked me out of my room. I made my way to the dining hall meeting the other 10 girls.

We all took our seats and the royal family also took there seats. Once the platters of food were set on the table everyone started getting food on there plates. It was mostly quiet other than the small whispers. Lots of the girls were most likely worried about the upcoming the elimination. 

"What if I leave? I don't want to leave, this has been so much fun!" Linh worried. 

"Hey, you'll be fine, don't worry okay," she took in deep breaths and continued eating her food. Once everyone had finished,Fitz stood up grabbing everyone's attention. I was barely paying attention to what he was saying, well until he was about to announce the girls that were getting eliminated. 

"So the girls that are eliminated are Lily Dawson, Jane Rose, and Stina Heks," Stina's jaw dropped and I could tell she was mad but she didn't show it. If Stina left then my life could be happy. I hid a smile as the three girls left the room. 

"Congrats to making it more than halfway through the selection everyone!" He soon allowed us to leave and I realized that there were only 2 more eliminations until Fitz proposes to someone. 

Linh clapped her hands in excitement. 

"Wow I get to stay here longer! I'm so excited! I already know that I'm not going to win but at least I get to stay with my friends!" she said. I smile at her excitement and we say good night and head to our bedrooms. 

And as soon as my head touched the pillow, I was out like a light.
