Going For the Win (A Selection Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

My mouth dropped! I looked around to see who was still left. Luckily I saw Peyton and Pippa. Then I spotted Skylar and Talia. I kept glancing around, but I noticed who was missing. Prudence! She was eliminated.
I couldn't believe it! She was so pretty, what could she have done wrong?

The Women's Room was soon filled with all the left over girls. There were around 31 of us, which meant 4 people left. Tatiana told us we could do anything in the Women's Room as long as we were quiet. I sat on the sofa and took off my flats. I eyed a magazine then grabbed it. I'm a pretty slow reader, so this will take a while.

Flipping through pages, I saw one page of a fire. Apparently a movie theater was blown up in Dakota. Another attack from the rebels! I sighed. Then the next page was filled with the latest styles. One model was wearing a denim jacket, a nice,blue blouse and jeans with cowgirl boots. When I looked to the next model, I saw that the model was Annabelle! I ripped out the paper not noticing was ruckus I was causing. I was shushed by Tatiana and I don't think she noticed what I had done.

I sat quietly some more examine the pages until I got bored. "May I be excused?" I asked Tatiana.

"Yes, but you know the rules." She answered.

I nodded and walked out the door. I just had to get out of that place, I couldn't stand the silence and being congested in that room. I walked the hallways, my high heels clicking very loudly against the tile floor. "Miss Green," a voice called. I turned to see no one. I shrugged thinking I was just hearing things. "Miss Green!" There was Prince Aidan in a blue blazer and red tie.

"Yes, Prince Aidan?" I curtsied in his presence.

"Oh well, you don't need to curtsy for me that's more for my parents." He said then added, "I was wondering if you got the note I sent for you."

"Note?" I questioned. I didn't remember receiving any sort of note that day or anything.

"No? Well I just sent it. You must've not been in the Women's Room then." Aidan concluded. "Well, will you like to accompany me in a stroll in the garden?"

"My yes, I would love to." I smirked at him. I didn't even have to think of an answer for that one. Aidan put his arm out and I wrapped mine around it as we walked out of the palace.

"It's really a beautiful day!" Cassidy said. The sun was shining so bright, but it wasn't too hot out.

"It truly is." Aidan smiled looking at Cassidy. "So do you like it here in the palace so far?"

"Like it? I love it!" Cassidy screamed with joy.

"Well, I'm happy to hear that." Aidan smirked. "I've been going through some rough times lately and I'm kind of glad that this whole thing has me distracted."

Cassidy nodded. "If you ever want to just chill by yourself also, I think the girls would completely understand that also."

"I'll think about that." Aidan smirked.

I lightly giggled at his cute smile. "So what did you want to talk to me about that you sent the note?"

Aidan looked at me. "I just want to get to know the girls more so I decided to take you."

I felt my face go a bit red as he told me that he had chosen me first out of all the girls to hang out with. "Oh, that makes sense," I said trying to keep it cool.

"I think the garden is a good place to talk, it very peaceful and private." Aidan said, motioning in the direction of the garden.

"The garden sounds like a lovely place to talk." I replied, smiling. We walked out in the garden together where we were alone except for some guards standing by.
