Louise POV

I put on the pair of black pants and smiled. They felt like victory. Automatically thinking about Taigen, I decided to go find him and gloat.

As I walked down the halls, I listened for his voice. I had only talked to him about three time, but his silky voice was not easy to forget.

Almost giving up, I sighed and started to walk to my room. But then I caught sight of a window. Automatically drawn to it, I walked quickly toward it. Almost immediately I wished I hadn't. But I couldn't stop looking.

Outside, in the gardens, Taigen was out there holding Lady Kendra in his arms, like a baby. She was looking at his lips and he was staring into her eyes adoringly.

I suddenly became aware of how wet my cheeks were. Tears were spilling out and weren't stopping. I don't know why I felt hurt, after all, it wasn't like he was my boyfriend. And he was in the selection, and so were all these other 24 girls. He's bound to go on dates with them, kiss them, and tell them how beautiful they look.

I was stupid for crying. Because now my inner me came into my mind. This is why we don't get our hopes up remeber?

I pushed the horrible thought out of my mind, but fled to my room and let myself cry, because I knew the awful thoughts were right.
