Abby POV
I wake up to the view across the clear blue sea. It's a little bit cloudy. I stay cuddled in the warm blankets. When I do finally get up and dressed, the deck is already hopping with maids and the selected. We sit in a table in the far corner. Maids serve us a huge stack of golden brown pancakes. Claire gets up.
"I see you later today, I have to do something." She says and walks away.
"Oh well, so what do you guys want to do today?" I ask, " Go for a swim? A day at the spa?" Tati and Paris look at each other.
"Paris and I have to work on some stuff today. I'm sorry, hope you guys have fun, see you at dinner! Good luck on your date, Nat!" Tati says, and Paris and her leave.
"No matter, we can hang out today!" I say excitedly.
"Sure! Can we go swimming?"
Nat asks.
"Ok, just let me go change. We can meet back here." I say, and leave to my room. I put on my two piece bathing suit, some shades, and then some sunscreen, just in case. When I get back down, I spot Natallie. And George. Hugging. Their faces inches apart.
"Um, Natallie?" I say, anger starting to bubble up inside of me.
"Natallie! We were....um.... Well you see I...." She starts, but I don't feel like letting her finish.
"You know, you guys can just hang out today, I'll see you later, Nat." I say, trying to calm myself down.
"Abby? Come on! Just let me explain!" I speed walk out of there, not even glancing back.

Natallie POV
Let me explain. I wasn't hugging, George, I tripped! Blaire left her beach bag on the deck, and I tripped! George caught me, thank goodness, and Abby happened to walk in at the moment I still needed support! She wouldn't listen to me of course. Knocking on her door, sending her notes, etc. I eventually gave up. I spent the entire day trying to take to her, I didn't even notice it was already dinner. I walked down the red carpeted halls, into the dining room. When I look inside, Abby is there. How she got there without me seeing her, I don't know. I take a seat beside Tati, who is next to Abby.
"Abby?" I say, but she keeps picking at her plate.
"Abby?" I repeat. She gives me dirty look, but doesn't answer. Tati looks back and forth between us.
"What happened?" She whispers to me.
"Well, you see, I sorta tripped and fell on George and...."
"Abby saw you with him. I saw it happen from my room. The doors open and Claire walks in. She is slightly wet.
"Did you go swimming?" Paris asks, who appears to be in a better mood.
"No." Claire's smiling, but doesn't want to talk about it.
"Abby? Abby! I know you can hear me!" I say. She doesn't listen. I let out a groan, and stand up. I walk over to Abby, all the other people in the room watching, grab Abby and pull her along with me. I walk out the door into the hallway.
"Just leave me alone." She says, trying to get her arm lose, but my hold is iron.
"Listen, you have to hear me out!" I say, frustrated. Prince Axel walks out.
"What's going on ladies?" He says, a certain hardness to his voice.
"She's trying to take me somewhere, could you please help me?" Abby says. I let go. She just lied. Lied. Abby never does that.
"Thank you." She says and walks to her room. By now all the selected girls have opened the door trying to listen. A guard walks over.
"Come with me please." He says, ushering me along.
"I....I didn't....." I start.
"Just come with me please."
