silk tank top on one of the colored couches. She must have gotten the pajamas from her stylist.
I sat down quietly next to her. She didn’t acknowledge me, but I heard her sniffle. Oh no, is she crying? I placed a hand on her shoulder and felt that electricity I had felt earlier.
“Anna? Are you okay?” I asked hesitantly. I saw her shiver, and she turned her head on her knees to face me. She had tears in her eyes that had yet to be spilt. Her eyes shown vulnerability, and I knew even from just meeting her that she didn’t like that.
“No. I’m not okay. I’m half way around the world away from home, and I have no idea when I can go back. I miss my mom and two best friends!” She let a single tear escape and I wiped it gently away. She flinched against me, not expecting my touch. I searched my jacket pocket that I luckily had off before she pushed me in earlier, and found my cell.
“Here. Call who you need to call. I ask that you don’t go into specifics. Just say it’s a national issue or something. That you are unharmed, and will be home as soon as you can.” I handed her the phone and she looked so grateful. She gave me a huge hug, and it felt so good that I didn’t want to let her go!
Her hair smelled of vanilla and strawberries, and her skin felt soft and perfect. I wish I didn’t have to let her go! Wow! What is she doing to me?! We let go and I see that her cheeks held the most adorable shade of scarlet, and she murmurs a thank you before scuffling out of the room.
I left quickly as I was not supposed to be in here in the first place. It was against the competition rules. I snuck out through a servant’s stairs hidden behind a bookcase, and made my way out, the whole way thinking of the red headed beauty.

Splash!
I pushed Zach in the pond with all my force. I know it wasn’t his fault I fell in, but still! I was beyond ticked off! And he just so happened to be near me. I was laughing so hard I was hunched over. That is until he came out looking like he stepped out of a magazine. Snap out of it! Uh-oh, judging by his dark look, he’s ticked off! I smiled innocently at him, tossing Dem the towel I had .
“I got to go!” I took off, running and laughing. I ran inside hearing laughter behind me, and ran inside the castle all the way into the lobby like place on the first floor below the rooms we’re staying in. But not before changing into pajamas that I found in my closet .
“Oh Danny boy would have loved that.” I sighed to myself. Without my own consent I started to tear up. The reality of this situation finally started to set in. I didn’t know for certain when I can see my friends and my mother again.
Sniffing and wiping my eyes I curled my knees to my chest and rested my head on them. I missed them like crazy. My mom is probably worried out of her mind that I haven’t called her yet, along with Danny and Missy .
They have to let me talk to them right? I won’t tell them my exact situation, but they deserved to know right? I don’t have to worry about school considering I already have enough credit to graduate. I’m sure Mr. Anderson will miss me. I thought sarcastically.
My thoughts drifted to Zach. Uhg! Why can’t he stay out of my head? Sure he’s yummy, but he’s the reason I have to stay here. Well the country is, but he’s a big part of it! There’s no winning with him!
Even if we did end up being together, and for some reason he chose me, it still wouldn’t work out! I needed to go back home! I couldn’t stay here and run a freakin country! No way, no how! And then there’s the situation that if I fall for him or develop feelings and he chooses someone else. I can’t win with him, so might as well not try. And when it comes to my night, well, nothing will happen, that’s for sure.
