The one

chapter 8

Chapter 8

“No, no, No!” I shouted. “This ruins everything!” I didn’t care about my own well being, but the Rebels could aim for my family. I needed to do something, but what? If I asked Maxon to send extra security to guard my family, I would have to show him the note. If I showed him the note, he wouldn’t want me to get hurt because I stayed and would send me home. I paced to room clutching the note in my hand. Then Lucy peeked her head in my door and said grinning from ear to ear, “time for lunch!” Then she went skipping down the hall. There was obviously something I didn’t know, but I would probably find out at dinner. I shoved the note in a drawer, and ran out. I was late, but the king wasn’t there so it didn’t matter to me. I knew Maxon wouldn’t care. After I sat down, Maxon stood up and told us with a grim face, “The rebels have attacked again, but not the palace, the towns. We all gasped. He continued. “They killed one hundred people and threatened to kill more if we didn’t end the selection, so I have decided to do what they want. Well, not quite. They don’t want me to marry, but I couldn’t turn all you ladys down.” He smiled at us. “So I have chosen already one of you to be my wife.” My heart started speeding up. “America, would you please come with me to collect your things to move you to the princesses suit?” I froze. I couldn’t believe it. And then I broke out into a grin I didn’t think would ever fade. Celeste instantly stood up and screamed. “Her! You chose that… FIVE!!!” The guards went up and grabbed her to carry her off to her room. Maxon looked Kriss. “You and Celeste are invited to stay for the wedding if you would like.” Kriss barely put on a smile. “Of course.”

Maxon put down the last box. “I hope you enjoy your new room.” He smiled at me. I would like to stay, but I have other duties to attended to. Then he left.  I sank on to the bed, but then got up when I remembered something. His room is connected to mine and I have never been there before. The michevios part of me started to appear and I snuck into his room.

I walked over to his desk which was covered with papers with documents and other boring stuff, but I noticed something else laying on top of it. I recognized his hand writing.

America

Eyes sparkly when she laughs

Fist kiss: Friday May 13

Favorite animal: bunnies

Favorite instrument: piano

Favorite flower: roses

And the list just went on and on. I smiled to myself. He was so sweet. I looked up and saw photos of me covering the wall. Some of them were ones he took from a distance so I never noticed him others I could tell were taken by someone else like the photo of us dancing on Halloween. I had my head thrown back laughing at something he said while he was smiling at me. I couldn’t stop smiling. I went back to my room and took the note out of the drawer one more time. After I reread the note again I put it back in my drawer. I sat and sat down on my bed to clear my thoughts. I probably shouldn’t worry. As long as I am in the safe room during the attacks, I probably wouldn’t be captured. Then I realized something I hadn’t before. Someone had knocked on my door when I got the note, and they put it there. That meant that there was someone in the castle undercover working for the rebels. They could be watching my every move right now. And then the door busted down.
