Another Selection

Chapter 10

It was the prince. I immediately stopped and shot up.

All the girls bowed and I stood there still kind of shocked. Then I suddenly realised Im SUPPOSED to bow.

He chuckled and said, "Lady Ariana did you forget about our date this afternoon?" I knew I was forgetting something!

"Yes, please forgive me Prince Justin." I said trying not to make eye contact with any of the girls. They all looked angry. The prince held out his hand I took it.

"You have a very beautiful voice." I felt his eyes on me but I couldn't bring myself to look up at him.
"You heard everything?" I was very self conscious when it came to my singing. All my life Lulu and Tori have alway been the better singers and Tori was also good at painting. I tried to paint but the most I could do was sketching and even that wasn't good enough for people to buy. And then I tried singing but It was never good enough, I was always mediocre.

"Lady Ariana?" I looked up to see Prince Justin staring at me with concern. I hadn't realized that I completely zoned out.
"Sorry! I zoned out again!" I rambled really quickly, grabbing on to the necklace my dad gave me. The prince looked at me and laughed and I looked at him shocked. I never realized the prince would be so easy going.
"How about we go sit on the roof?" Prince Justin asked me and I nodded following him to the balcony. He jumped i've the balcony fence into the part of the roof and gave me a hand. I looked at him and took his hand as I also jumped i've the fence and we bought climbed to the top. Once we got there we both sat there in silence just looking at the view.

"Tell me about yourself." Prince Justin looked at me and I gave him a smile.
"Well I'm a 5. I have grown up with a beautiful family that i'm thankful for and well that's about it." I gave him a smile but his face dropped.
"I meant tell me about yourself, as in who you are and what you like. I want to know about the real you, your insecurities and your motivations." He looked at me once again staring at my eyes. No ones ever asked me that. Even when I was with Josh, he never asked me these deep questions to get to know me. He was always more interested in kissing me then listening to me. I didn't even know how to answer this question. Could I really trust the prince? What if he got to know the real me and then decided he wanted me to leave. What if he doesn't like the real me?
"Well...I don't know how to answer that question." I looked away from him. Wow, what a great response. And the award for the biggest moron alive goes to...Ari!
"Here i'll start." He smiles at me and looked ahead towards the view.
"Some of my hobbies are fencing, photography and playing the piano. My dad thought me fencing and my photography skills while my mom thought me the piano. My motivation is my family and the people. I don't want to let anyone down and help others to the best of my abilities. As for my insecurities...well..." He looked down and he frowned as he thought about his insecurities. I never thought that being a prince would be a hard job but from looking at his face I could see all the pain and the hard work he had to go through. He looked up once again and and looked at me, "My fear is to let my parents and the people down. I'm afraid I won't be a good enough King." I stared into his eyes and I could tell how sincere he was being. I saw him look down at my lips and look back at me. I felt the urge to hug him and kiss him and tell him that everything would be alright. But go some reason I couldn't get myself to do it. I was thinking about Josh. Do I really love Josh? Does Josh really love me? At that moment I felt no feelings for him, only feelings of regret for being with him.
I snapped out of my thoughts and saw Prince Justin leaning in, I closed my eyes waiting fir a kiss but then suddenly and arrow was shot landing right between us. I opened my eye in horror to see Prince Justin's calm eyes looking at me to see If I was hurt. He quickly grabbed my hand taking me back to balcony but I was shocked when I saw them approaching...the rebels.
