Prince Aidan was just swiftly moving along the path in the garden. His bright, blue blazer covered his white T-shirt. He didn't seem to notice me watching, but every once in a while I would see the whites of his eyes. I wanted to go down there and meet him and have a long conversation with him, but I couldn't. That's when his whole body faced towards me. I ducked down so he couldn't see me.

"I could see you!" He hollered jokingly. So much for trying to hide.

"No you can't!" I screamed back. I still hid.

"Just come out." He said. I didn't know if I should do what he told me. What if he sends me home?! I didn't care. I stood up and waved. He grinned. I probably looked like a slob. My hair in a sloppy bun and a tired face. "Hello Miss Cassidy!"

I was flabbergasted. "How do you know my name?"

"Well I try to memorize them. And I know who's room is who's." That's summed it up.

"Oh." I replied dumbly. "Well, I think I should go back in my room."

"Yeah I think so. But don't tell anyone about this!" He was definitely serious.

"Okey dokey!" I don't care how I act around him anymore, he's seen me in my pajamas.

I hurried back into my room, hopefully my maids weren't there. But with my luck, they were right inside listening. "Oh geez!"

"Sorry miss! We couldn't help it!" Delilah said.

"Whatever, but you heard what he said. No one says a word!" I remarked. I trusted my maids and I knew they would follow orders, so no problem there. "Let's have..." I thought for a second then eyed the pillow at the head of my bed. "A PILLOW FIGHT!!!" I grabbed the pillow and my maids put their arms up in defense an they took the others around it. We laughed all night long until I started yawn.

The bed was so comfortable. Maybe a bit more than the one I have at home. I talked to Lucia a bit after Aurora and Delilah left to their rooms. Then I fell into a deep, deep slumber.

* * *

My rest was grand and I leaped out of bed right as Lucia was about to shake me awake. "Woah!"

"Oh sorry." I giggled and the three of them joined in. "I just can't wait to meet Prince Aidan!"

"After your encounter last night." Aurora whispered.

"Oh no!" I fell back onto my bed. "I forgot all about that!"

"Sorry." Aurora said.

"It's fine, Rora." I gave them all nicknames last night. "What if he kicks me out?!"

"He won't miss!" Delilah chimed in.

"Thanks Lilah!" I perked up. "Maybe he won't. We'll just have to see." The bath was already running and I climbed after I took off my clothes. I felt comfortable with my maids like they are my best friends. I told them to call me Cass, but they said miss would be better so I let them call me that.

My morning dress was beautiful. It was a sundress that went down to my knees. It was simple and one of my favorite colors. Mint green. There was a bow right above the left side of my waist. Once again my maids made me look gorgeous. "Thanks girls! I better get down to breakfast now!" I sounded so excited. I just couldn't wait to see Prince Aidan again.

When I arrived at the dining hall, I saw Tatiana, but no prince or any of the royal family. They better be coming! I thought. I then spotted a seat open next to Peyton, so I scurried over to sit in it.

"Hey Cassie!" She said, her freckles expanding as she smiled at me. "What's up girl?" Around Peyton I felt like I could be myself. She didn't care what anyone else thought of her even though she had a pretty bad life as a Five.

"Hey Pey!" I answered. "I hope the prince is here this morning!"

"Me too! I really want to finally meet him. I wonder if he is hotter in person." She whispered. He is, I dreamed.

Tatiana then got up and explained, "When the royal family arrives, you must curtsy!" She was a bit strict. I was so happy though that we were getting ready to meet the family that runs the country I live in!

That's when they walk in! King Daren trotted with Queen Liana at his side. Then there was Prince Aidan! I couldn't believe to see him person, but this time so close! After Aidan was his older sister, Cordelia, who had had hair just like mine. Then next to her was the youngest, Bethany. Bethany looked a lot like her mom light green eyes and light gingery, red hair. Cordelia did also but her hair was more brown. Aidan looked exactly like his dad the dark emerald eyes and dirty blonde hair.

"Hello ladies! We are all very pleased to finally get to see you all in person!" King Daren announced. "We hope you had a splendid first night and have a great time while you stay. Let's eat!"

Breakfast was then served. Waffles and strawberries was what I had to eat. Peyton had pancakes with blueberries. I then saw Peyton's outfit, and she was wearing a lavender flowy dress that also went down to the knees. She looked great!

Once all our plates were cleared and taken away, Prince Aidan stated, "I will be talking to you ladies one on one and ask you about yourself, no need to be nervous." I saw him look at me and I didn't know what to do so I gave a thumbs up. I'm so stupid! Is all I thought.

"Ariana!" He starts calling girls up right away. I also got a chance to memorize a lot of the girls' names. "Cassidy!" I was called towards the end, before Peyton.

"Good luck!" Peyton cheered me on.

"Thanks, I'll need it!" I smirked then it went away when I faced the prince. I was so scared.

"Hello Miss Cassidy!" Aidan said. I started to perk up when I saw his smile.

"Hello, Prince Aidan! How do you do?" I responded.

"Fine, thank you. How was your night?"

"Great! The beds are perfect!" I said.

"Glad you like them!" He replied. "Sorry about last night," he started. "I should've acted like I didn't see you. I was just afraid you would tell someone you saw me! But you wouldn't have done that."

"Oh it's fine!" I kept grinning. There was a silence. "How was your night?"

"Fantastic!" He answered. "Tell me about yourself."

I thought for a second then answered, "What do you wanna know?"

"Anything! Your childhood, your family, your friends, your school, your pet peeves, your dreams and goals, college, your career!" He said. That was a lot to answer.

Then I said, "Well, as you know I'm a Two. I am one of four kids. My older sister, Annabelle, also entered the Selection. I have a twin brother, Scott, and a little sister, Fiona. My best friends are Grace Jacobs and Raquel Tomilson. My school is alright I guess. I'm a straight A student."

"Impressive!"

"Thank you! My pet peeves are..." I had never thought of that. Then it came to me! "People who judge others before they get to know them. Biggest thing ever! My dream is to get into a great school for basketball."

"Do you know what college?" He questioned.

"Not really, but somewhere that I could do anything I want and the way I want it. I have my own ways of doing things and they can't be changed." I said. "And I want to be a professional basketball player!"

"Interesting! What about your childhood?" He pondered.

"Not now." I said. I couldn't explain all this to him. It would be too hard.

"That's okay. You can go back to your seat now, Cassie!" Aidan said. I couldn't believe he called me that! I speed walked back to my seat with all smiles.

We waited until Prince Aidan was done interviewing. Then he said everyone who he said to stay, stay. He never told me to so I followed Tatiana to the Women's Room. I was wondering what happened to the other girls, so I asked. "Why did the others have to stay?"

"Because they got eliminated!" Tatiana answered.
