Another Selection

chapter 8

"Oh my gosh. Im so sorry. I...I..." I stuttered untieing him. I can't believe I.

Maybe Toria was right. I wasn't ment for this. Tears staryed forming in my eyes. I untied him and he sat there. I didn't look at him. Too scared to see his reaction.

He was gonna throw me in the dungeons and my family wont be able to earn money and we will stay broke. Just thinking about that I start crying. Tears are streaming down my face.

"Why are you crying?!" Prince Justin asked he looked and sounded nervous.

"I knocked you out and you're gonna put me in the dungeons and my family they are gonna stay broke and well Josh." I suddenly realized what I said.

He looked at me with kind eyes. "Its okay you can trust me. We will be friends" He smiled.

"The only reason im here is because .y family needs money. Were broke but we need money." I looked at him his face went emotionless.

"But don't worry I don't want the crown. I live someone back home." I can't believe I telling him.

"Okay well how about you and I stay just friends. And I'll keep you here as ling as I can so your family keeps getting paid." The Prince smiled at me.

I smiled and nodded. He got up and looked at me. For some reason he seemed a little upset with the idea of me liking someone else. Im probably imaging it though.

"So how did you get in my room?" I asked thinking maybe he was talking to all the selected.

"The rope. I was walking in the gardens when I saw it and well I decided to climb it." He said with a small smile.

Honestly he was pretty cute. And nice too but will I ever like him. What about Josh. Then I remembered what happened with Josh and hatred filled inside me.

"So the boy you like..." Prince Justin awkwardly laughed.

"Correction boy I used to like. He didn't want me entering the selection and didn't even let me explain why I was entering then he started questioning if I actually liked him or not!" I ranted on angrily.

Prince Justin looked relieved. Or maybe I need glasses because there's no way he would like me.

"So friends...or?" He asked not making eye contact. I don't understand. I looked at him confused.

"So does that ran you're single and ready to mingle?" He said very fast. I started to laugh. Who says that. He blushed but tried to cover it up.

"I honestly don't know what my heart wants. Maybe I am maybe im not." I said more to myself then anyone else.

"Well maybe I might change your mind." He said with a smirk. Um so the king is bipolar. I blushed a little and he laughed.

"Well im sorry to end this little meeting but im afraid I most go before I get caught. I don't want one of your maids walking in on us. Wait where are your maids." He asked looking around.

"Mt whole life I have taken care of myself. I don't need maids. So please refer to them as my friends." I smiled at him

"But wouldn't girls want to have maids." He mumbled.

"Yeah but im not here for the luxury." I replied. His face suddenly changed. But he covered it up.

"Goodnight lady....." he held my hand.

"Ariana." I smiled. He kissed my hand and left. I looked at the room and smiled. How on Earth was I suppose to untie all of this and still get some sleep. I shrugged and just jumped on the bed.

Breakfast will be interesting.
