Tam's POV:
We glittered in front of Everglen's huge glowing gate. My stomach was flipping because Biana had hailed Linh just before we were about to leave and told us to bring our match list. There could only be one reason for that and I hadn't even opened mine yet.
The huge glowing gates swung open and we walked inside and to the door of the Vacker mansion. I knocked on the door and revealed a boy with teal eyes and brown hair. "Hey Fitz!" Linh squealed, blushing.
"Oh, hey Linh..." Fitz said looking distracted. I glared at him and shoved my way into the house, making my way into the living room with Fitz and Linh behind me. Marella, Biana, Wylie, Jensi, Dex, Keefe, and Sophie were all sitting in a circle. They made room for us and Sophie looked at me and patted the spot beside her. I was a little confused but I slowly walked over to her. Before I could sit down, Fitz sat down next to her and I realized that she hadn't been looking at me.
A/N- Thoughts look like this.
She had been looking at Fitz. Fitz smiled at Sophie and I saw her blush.
"Tam? Are you okay?" asked Linh, "You look a bit...annoyed." Linh snapped me out of my daze and I felt that my hands were balled into fists. "I'm fine," I muttered going to stand in a corner.
Sophie's POV:
I saw Tam's hands ball into fists and he glared at Fitz when Fitz smiled at me. Huh, that's odd. It's probably nothing, right...?
"So, what should we do now?" I asked to break the awkward silence that now hung over the group.
"We should open our matchlists and tell each other who we got!" Biana squealed.
I wanted to argue but I knew Biana would wear me down eventually. I sighed and pulled out the pink matchmaking scroll that was just lying behind me. "Who's going first?" I asked internally cringing.
"I'll go," Fitz whispered. He looked so adorably shy in that moment that I reached for his hand and transmitted "It's going to be okay. You got this!" Fitz blushed and smiled. Then he opened his scroll, stood up, cleared his throat, and...
"Linh is my #10, uhm..." Fitz gagged, "Eugh! Stina is my #8!"
"I swear, if you marry Stina, I'm never talking to you again!" Keefe threatened.
Fitz's whole face lit up as his eyes wandered to the top of his list.
"My #1 is...Sophie!"
Fitz's smile was so big it reached from one ear to the other. He sat back down and scooted a little closer to me. I saw sadness flash across Linh's face but it was gone in an instant. I wondered who was going to be my number one was going to be. I hoped it was Fitz but I didn't want to hurt Linh, who, very obviously, liked Fitz too. Marella went next her #1 was Jensi and her #85 was
"EWWWW! VALIN!" Marella threw her match scroll on the ground and said, "There is absolutely I'm dating or marrying Valin!"
Wylie went after Marella he got Linh as his #1. Linh blushed a little and I saw a light flush across Wylie's cheeks.
Tam's POV:
Keefe cleared his throat very dramatically. I rolled my eyes even though no one could see me.
"I got Biana as my #3, The Lovely Miss F as my #5 and Maruca as my #1," Keefe pumped his fist and bowed before sitting back down.
My stomach turned when I saw Biana was... smiling! I looked over at Sophie to see her reaction and she... just scooted closer to Fitz as if saying "No thanks Keefe, I like Fitz." Biana stood up and opened her scroll. Please, please, please let me be on her list. Biana shuffled her feet and tucked a strand of her beautiful hair behind her ear. "I got Jensi and my #21 and," she gulped glancing shyly at Dex,
"I got Dex as my #3."
Dex turned tomato red and looked down, staring at the ground. "The rest a just random people I've never met before." It felt like a piece of my heart was being torn out of my chest and I wanted nothing more than to go up to the matchmakers and scream at them until they put me on Biana's list. I didn't hear who was on who's lists after that my brain just kept repeating Biana doesn't like me, she doesn't like me...
"Tam did you hear me?" A soft voice snapped me out of my sulking and my head snapped up and I saw everyone one staring me. "It's your turn to read out your matches," said Sophie her eyes showing concern.
"Oh, uh alright," I cleared my throat and opened my scroll. My heart died a little when I looked at the names, I didn't know any of the people on my list. Wait, what!?!
