Hi again! Hope everyone is enjoying reading! Please remember to comment your thoughts.

This chapter is very similar to the one before which is why it has the same title but instead of being from Rosalia's POV, it is in Mason's.


Mason POV:

I walk out of Rosie's room and go into my own. My hair is a mess and my shirt is untucked and unbuttoned. If I am to meet these girls I can not loom like this.

It takes me about 20 minutes to fix myself before exiting to the hallway. Not long after Rosalia exits her room. She links her arm in mine and together we walk to the garden. Having my sister here gives me the boost of confidence I need. Without her I don't know that I would be able to speak. I still might not be able to speak even with Rosalia's bubbly personality.

We reach the doorway to the garden and the guards open the doors. Outside are all 35 of them waiting to meet me. I glance over at my sister to see if she feels as nervous as I am. Rosie seems calm, then again she usually does. She gets that from our father.

It seems like the minute we reach the center of the garden everyone stops their conversation. "Hi" i stumble on the simple word. One girl smiles at me. Rosalia leads me towards her because she is the closest one. "Hi. I'm Sarah. I am from Clermont." We talk for a few moments. She seems like a nice girl.

We move to another group of three. Alexa, a skinny pale girl with straight blonde hair stands there and talks to me. Lanie, seems more relaxed. The last girl, Megan is very shy I am lucky to get her name and where she is from out of her. I say my goodbyes and move on to the next girls.

I make my way around the circle. A few girls stick out to me. The first is Brynna from Whites. She was average height with bright blue eyes like my own but dark hair close to the color of chocolate. Chloe from Bonita, seemed very outgoing. Much like Rosalia she was bubbly, she even kind of resembled her with long red hair and green eyes. The last was Kelli from St. George, who was on the nervous side just like me. Thats probably why we got along.

There was only one girl left before this nightmare was over. She sits alone on the far end of a bench looking down at a flower in her hands. She was quiet much like myself. She looks up when Rosie and I get closer. She has long dark wavy hair. Her eyes are dark and they sparkled when she locked eyes with me. "Hi." She says as she stands up.

I couldn't get any words out. Finally I get out a simple "Hi"

"I'm Capri." The girl finally says. I reach down to grab her hand and kiss it. She blushes.

"Hello Capri." We talk about almost everything. I don't even realize that Rosalia is gone until a few minutes of conversation. "Where did you come from?" That came out weird.

"I'm sorry?"

"I meant, like where do you live?"

"Carolina."

"Really?"

"Yes, why?"

"It just, thats where my mother lived as a child."

She and I laugh for a few more minutes until the guard comes out and announces its time for lunch. I help Capri up and I walk the girls inside to get lunch. I can't help but to smile. Maybe this won't be that bad.
