Chapter 11: Elias's pov

When I got asked by the princess to leave the men's room I was so nervous. I was afraid I'd done something to offend her, as silly as it was since I'd spoken to her very few times.

Everyone gave me looks as we left, I got very mixed reactions. Some of them looked almost jelous while others had that expression where it looked like I was off to my death, so I didn't really know what to expect.

She escorted me to a hallway and we were alone. She started stuttering but finally she let out that she wanted to ask me on a date. It was a big relief to find out that I was called out for a good reason. I was really surprised to find out that I was the first date of the selection.

We walked out to the gardens and at first it was sort of awkward. I was pretty sure neither of us knew what to do, at least I didn't. After a while though, I think we both got more comfortable and it got less and less awkward.

At one point she took off in a direction and I wasn't sure if she was running away from me, or if I should've followed her. Halfway through a lawn she stopped and took off her heels. They must have been so uncomfortable, I never understood why people basically wore shoes with sticks holding them up. It seemed usless.

I realized she was running towards her sister, Princess Stella. I had to laugh because when she ran off like that, and threw her shoes off, she seemed like a normal girl. Not a princess who had to chose a husband out of 32 strangers. Just a girl.

She waved me over like a mad women and I jogged over there. I saw she was crouched down by a golden retriever dog. She introduced me to the dog, Jasper, and then her twin sister (who I'd already seen off the report and such) Stella.

The rest of the date was fun, we just simply talked. She had left her shoes there, in the middle of the lawn. Soon it dawned on us that we would miss lunch if we didn't hurry, so we walked down to the dining room.

As I predicted we were late, I was afraid I would get in trouble for it. Nobody mentioned it though. We just sat down and ate like a normal lunch.

Heykangas pov

Once Elias left the room, curtesy of the princess, everyone erupted into rumors. I tried to absorb into the corner, I did not want to be a part of the argument. I do not even like talking in general let alone arguing with someone.

Some of us tried to stay out of the argument like me, Robin, and Daniel. Others, however would not stop arguing like Rush and Saryu. Steadily the voices got louder until I couldn't even hear myself think.

Suddenly the door opened and it got eerily quiet as everyone looked to see who it was. Everyone feared it was the princess again, and if it was we were all in huge trouble. But it was just Austin stepping in, he had missed it all.

"What's going on?" He asked. Nobody moved until finally I walked over and told him how Elias had been asked out if the room by the princess and none of us knew why, which they were arguing about.

"I bet it was nothing, maybe he got asked on a date." Austin suggested with a shrug of his shoulders, he seemed to think it was harmless, as did I.

"SHUT UP!" Someone yelled. Everyone turned there head in surprise as Rush ran over to Austin, and shoved him down. I stood there shocked, not knowing what to do. Gemini walked over calmly and helped Austin up.

"YOU BLOODY IDIOT IF SHE WOULD HAVE ASKED SOMEONE ON A DATE IT WOULDVE BEEN ME!" Rush yelled. We had all seen the magazine articles about how he was a nightmare but before now Rush had seemed nice enough.

Rush walked out the door and slammed it shut as he stormed away. This selection already had a lot more drama then it needed and it was only the first date, which worried me. I do not want to be a part of something like that.

Everyone looked at one another, still processing Rush's meltdown. The arguing stopped but everyone still seemed cross. There was no talking and it was scarily quiet. Almost half of the suitors left to their rooms after that, and the rest of us stayed to ourselves until a butler came in and told us it was time for lunch.

Elias was at lunch, which confirmed my suspicion that it was nothing brutal. Nobody mentioned Rush's breakdown because it was his word against ours and he was a celebrity, he was just as rich as the royal family themselves and nobody wanted on his bad side so we all stayed quiet.

Rush's pov

I knew I'd screwed up. Majorly. I got very stressed when everyone was arguing about what had happened to the guy who got asked out of the room. Walter? Scott? I couldn't remember his name.

My whole life I'd been expected to be perfect, to live up to my fathers shoes, and by not getting the first date I knew I was failing. I shoved that dude down and in the anger of the moment I stormed off. I felt sort of bad but I knew he was fine, I didn't shove him that hard.

Once I left the men's room I went to my own personal room and laid down. I had probably just ruined my chance in this selection, I could be sent home. If I was sent home I would be a disgrace to my father. Lord knows what sort of hell I would endure if I was eliminated this early on.

My father wasn't exactly dad of the year. He was abusive and rash and I hated him with everything I had. One of the only reasons I signed up was to get away from him.

When I had yelled in the men's room my mind was elsewhere, particularly where I would be when I got home after all of this and my father beating me. I acted out of impulse and I hopped I wouldn't pay for it. Karma was not my friend.

After a while I was informed that it was time for lunch so I walked off to the dining room to endure my result.

Jace's pov

Lunch was rather awkward for everyone, after the whole explosion from Rush and Elias apparently landing a date with the princess. Nobody acknowledged either event.

After lunch the princess retired to her room for the evening and we all headed off to the men's room. Elias was stormed with questions while Rush was completely ignored, given the cold shoulder.

"What was she like?" Someone shouted towards Elias. He had spent the most time with the princess, most of us only spoke with her in a 5 minute interview and a little at meals. Other then that we've had no interaction with her.

Elias refused to answer most questions only answering with things like "it was nice." Or "I don't feel I'm in the place to share." Which was fairly frustrating for everyone.

We all wanted details, what the princess liked, how to make her swoon, mostly though, we all wanted to know something that could pull us ahead of the others.

After a while almost everyone gave up on trying to pry answers from the dude and we all did our own thing. Most everyone was gone within an hour, they all went to their rooms. The only people that were left were about 5 suitors, including myself.

Austin's pov

After lunch, when we were all in the men's room. Everyone was swarmed around Elias as he told little snippets of his date. He didn't say much. I stayed off in the back, I wasn't particularly interested in hearing about the date. It wasn't my business.

I started zoning off and I wasn't paying attention to what Elias was saying anymore. Someone tapped on my shoulder and I turned around to see Rush looking at me. I wasn't very excited to see him, and for good reason. He had shoved me, which violated the rules.

"I'm sorry." He said firmly as he stood before me. I was quite surprised by this. I had expected him to be ruthless or something, I don't really know what I was expecting but it wasn't this.

Funny thing was, because he shoved me, we became friends. After he apologized and I accepted, he told me why he was so frustrated and I felt bad for him. His dad was an abusive jerk and he was stressed because of it, which made sense. From then on me and him were close friends.

The rest of the day consisted of everyone eating in the dining hall in utter silence because the princess was not present. Without B her it was just plain weird and awkward to be eating with the royal family. Nobody told us why she wasn't there. I kind of worried, the last time she missed a meal she fell out of a tree.

After dinner everyone was exhausted so we all just went to our rooms and slept, at least that's what I did.

Ok so yay! Chapter 11 complete! Sorry it took so long but I wrote this 3 times and each time a piece of it for whatever reason didn't get saved so I had to re write it which was very frustrating lol. Anyways questions!

1.) what did you think of Rush's explosion? And his apology?

2.) Did you like this chapter in the view of some of the boys? Would you like to see more of this style of pov's?

3.) Whose your favorite character so far overall? (Doesn't mean only suitors)

Also sorry guys but I will not answer reviews this chapter because I'm exhausted and I wanna get this chapter up ASAP because I've been MIA for a while. Maybe next chapter? Thanks! Please review!
