The Prince and the Maid: A Divergent Story

Ch. 22: The Ball

First off I want to thank @archerygirl10 for this idea. I really liked the idea and what type of writer would I be if I didn't thank my source. So Thanks!!! And Here comes the chapter.

Tris POV:

I wipe my tear stricken face.
"Would you like to come to the ball tonight?" Queen Hana asks me.
"Sure. But I would just ruining the fun, won't I?" I say.
"Tris, to be honest. This house would not be fun without you. You add your own touch to everything and it's always beautiful."
"Thank you." I say smiling. "When does the ball start?"
"In an hour."
"What? I don't even know what to wear!"
"I've got you covered. Christina!"
Christina comes running to the garden and she smiles at me.
"I need you to get Tris ready for the ball." Queen Hana says.
Christina grabs my hand and leads me to a extra room in the palace.
She dresses me in an A-line Blush Beaded Sweetheart Strapless Ball Gown and Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Toe Pumps. She fixes my hair into a Rocker Chic Fishtail and puts a rhinestone tiara in my hair. She makes me close my eyes amd she does my make up. Then I feel my pretty, nerdy glasses slip onto my face.
I open my eyes and look in the mirror.
I look beautiful.
"You are beautiful, Tris and if Tobias doesn't see it, then he doesn't deserve you." Christina says.
I hug her.
"The ball is starting right now." Christina says.
"Wait, what about you? Aren't you coming?" I ask.
"Don't worry. I'll be down soon."
I nod and walk down the stairs.
"Tris. You look beautiful. Now go in the ballroom and enjoy yourself."
I smile and walk into the ballroom with my head held high.
I stand next to the other princes and princesses, swaying to the beat.
Then someone taps my shoulder and I turn around. A tall boy with tan skin and brown eyes stands there smiling at me.
"I noticed you over here and I wanted to ask you if you would like to dance." He says.
"May I know my knight and shining armor's name first?" I ask smiling.
"Nico." He says.
"Tris."
"Shall we?"
"I guess, we shall."
He takes my hand and pulls me to the middle of the ballroom dancefloor. I wrap my arms around Nico's neck and he sets his hands on my waist.
I giggle as Nico sings along to the song. He spins me around and then pulls me close to him.
"You're a good singer." I say.
"Sing with me."
I begin.
"I wish I knew then

What I know now

Wouldn't dive in

Wouldn't bow down

Gravity hurts

You made it so sweet

'Til I woke up on

On the concrete." I sing and Nico sings with me.

I smile and he returns the favor.
Towards the end of the song, he dips me.
When I look around I see we were the only two people on the dance floor.
The crowd of princes and princesses begin clapping.
I blush.
I look around and my eyes catch a certain blue-eyed boy sitting next to Nita. Tobias is glaring at a certain someone next to me.
Is he jealous?
Come on Tris. Get real.
I roll my eyes and begin talking to Nico.
"You are a great dancer and singer." Nico says.
"Not too shabby yourself, Nico." I reply.
In the corner of my eyes, I see Christina smile.
"One second." I tell Nico.
I walk over to her.
"So. How's it going?" Christina says.
"Pretty good." I reply.
She squeal a little and I let out a laugh.
"Do you like him?" Christina asks me.
"I just met him. I just out a relationship. I don't want another so quickly." I say.
She nods and I walk back to Nico.
"Now it's time to dance with someone you didn't accompany here tonight." The Announcer says.
I hand grabs mine. I turn to face the owner of the hand and I see Tobias.
I sigh and wrap my arms around his neck.
We sway to the sound of the song.
"I don't like that guy." Tobias says nodding his head in Nico's direction.
"Well that's your problem." I say.
"Why are you two so close all of a sudden? How did you get in?"
"What? Didn't want me to see your new girlfriend?"
"Tris. I didn't--"
"I'm not going to make a scene over some egotistical jerk. We're threw." I say and walk away from him.
Nico comes to stands by me.
"You okay?" He asks me.
I shake my head.
"I need some air." I say.
"I'll come with you."
We walk to the front balcony. The tears start brimming.
I hug Nico and he hugs me back.
I'm glad he doesn't ask questions, he just comforts me.
