"How could I be so stupid?!" I muttered to myself angrily stalking down the hall. I suddenly found myself on the ground and looked up to see Syna,
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She helped me up. I dusted myself off and continued my inner speech as she struggled to keep up. She grabbed my arm,'
"Whoa, whoa there girly! What happened?" She asked. I sighed and leaned against the wall,
"Let's see...Manik almost kiss me back there, and I would've kissed him back, and tonight is my freaking night with him!" I huffed disgusted with myself. She squealed,
"Oh really?!" Then she noticed my mood again, "Why is that bad?" She asked confused. I sighed again,
"Either I let myself fall for him, and he for some reason chooses me, then I'll be stuck here away from my home. Or I'll le myself fall for him and he doesn't choose me and I leave heartbroken! Might as well, try and stay far from him." I reasoned. Those tingles didn't help at all!!! She patted my arm,
"Nancy...maybe you should just go with it?" She suggested. I instantly shook my head,
"No. I can't go through that. Either way I can't win. I wasn't raised like you all were! I can't be a freaking Queen even if I did want to let myself fall! My idea of a good day is pissing someone off who pisses me off! You girls were all raised in proper homes
and taught how o be a royal. I wasn't!" I fumed out. She looked sympathetic at me as we walked back to the rooms to get ready for dinner,
"Nandu, if you two are meant to be together then it won't matter. If you fall for him like you claim, you won't care about anything else." She reasoned. I walked silently thinking it over. What she said was right, but I've seen what heartbreak can do.
My own mom went through it when my dad skipped town for a young s**t that could be my sister. It was hard for me to see her go through that. She was so depressed for the longest time. Now she's okay, but why would I want to put myself through that?
Shaking my head I said goodbye to Syna and went to my room to get dressed for tonight. This should be interesting.
I decided to go with some fitted dark blue jeans, again not wanting to get dressed up for some dumb dinner. I then chose a soft white shirt where the sleeves go to my elbows, and had blue flowers here and there. Pulling on my black converse I heard a knock on my door. When I opened the door I grinned,
"What are you doing here Jet?" I leaned against the door frame. He smirked at me,
"Every dinner the girls personal guard is supposed to escort them to the dining hall. Oh and I heard about ho is supposed to be with Mannu tonight... you naughty, naughty girl!" He asked. I rolled my eyes and smack his head,
"Nothing will be happening tonight!" I defended myself. Whether I was trying to convince myself more than him I wasn't sure. He chuckled like he didn't believe me,
"Sure. But you better not steal my man away from me!" He warned. I laughed,
"Sure okay!" He rolled his eyes chuckling. We walked to the dining hall passing some other girls on the way. When we passed Elise she sneered at me. I looked serious,
"Sorry I don't speak bitch." I said lightly. Jet laughed next to me and even her guard snickered. She huffed, and couldn't come up with a comeback. Ha! When we arrived Jet dragged me to where we were sitting before and I scowled at him,
"You did this on purpose!" I hissed under my breath knowing full well that I had to sit next to Manik. He looked innocently at me,
"I just want to sit next to my best friend! Is that a crime?" I could see the amusement in his eyes. I rolled my eyes,
"No it's not, but when I don't have to sit next to you and you drag me here, then ya I get suspicious." I narrowed my eyes. He shrugged indifferently. When everyone was seated the doors opened revealing _____. I choked on my water..,
