Hello! Thank you all for your suggestions about the date!

What did you think about the last few chapters? With Jordana's whole ordeal, and the rebels? Let me know your thoughts!

Property of Illea- Thanks! Maybe for the second date they could play a sport.

Winterprincess- Enjoy, this is for you!

Kay- Thank you so much!

Ok, Chapter 11. Enjoy!

Jacob's POV

I shake my head, poor Jordana. My father just informed me that she was caught with a rebel radio and made a call alerting them. She says it was an accident, and it looks like she's telling the truth, but we're not sure. Father said to eliminate her, and I agreed that it was for the best.

Father also has an advisor, Malcolm, Malcolm said that it was best to knock her and her family down a caste. I don't like Malcolm, he isn't very nice, being a natural born 2 he despised people below a three.

Father, though, was blind to his faults, Malcolm was very nice around father, but everyone else knew that Malcolm was an ass.

Trying to help Jordana, I quickly interceded.

"Father, Jordana is already a three because all of the selected below a three are made such. If we knock her and her family down, she'll be a four again, and her family fives, how will she live, if her family and her are in totally different spots in life?" I ask shooting a glare at Malcolm.

"You bring up a good point son, but this girl may or may not be a rebel." He says.

Henry, another advisor, pipes up, "Maybe we should just bump her back down to a four, and she could live with her family, but keep a close watch on her, secretly, in case she is a rebel, and joins them again." Henry says.

I like Henry, he makes good decisions.

Father nods, agreeing. "Yes, Malcolm, do as Henry suggested." With that he leaves the room, leaving Malcolm glaring at me and Henry.

Henry leaves, knowing that if I leave before him, Malcolm will say something bad to him. With me in the room, however, there is nothing Malcolm can say.

I leave as well, and go to my room to get ready for my date.

I set off at 11:25. And at exactly 11:30, I knock on Cassie's door.

She opens it, smiling grandly at me.

"Um, you may want to dress warm and casual" I say. Looking at her threadbare dress.

Looking intrigued she closes the door in my face to change, oh why not?

"Shall we?" I ask.

She smiles, "We shall!" She says.

I look at what Cassie changed into, a pair of jeans and a sweater. Not that casual! I think, oh well.

I smile secretly because I knew where we were going, and she didn't, and Cassie mockingly punches my arm. It was just so easy to be with Cassie, but I don't know, I just didn't have any romantic feelings for her, maybe this date would help?

We walked past the women's room, and all of the girls were filing out, uh-oh, Gina wouldn't be so happy that she wasn't the first date.

Cassie's POV

I saw Ariel and Bree's hurt faces as they processed me arm in arm with the prince, and that I hadn't told them about it.

Gina was also whispering to Allison, very mad, what was her problem, I didn't even know her? Thank god Lana, Cynthia, and Courtney left first, so they didn't see me with the prince, and spoil my plan to make them lose.

I saw Ashley though hiding a grin and whispering to Maureen and Jacklyn. She must have said something because they all crack up laughing. Did they not see me with the prince, weren't they mad at me? Weird.

Whatever. The prince and I walk on, where are we going!?

Suddenly we go down a flight of stairs, wait, weren't we just on the first floor? What's below the first floor. It gets colder as we go on and I'm wondering why its so cold when we stop at our destination. I gasp.

My prince took me to the palace ice skating rink! Hmm, maybe I should pull a little trick of my own, payback for the first time we met.

Jake smiles at me. "You like it?" He asks.

I nod, my eyes sparkling with excitement. I give him a big hug and he looked so surprised a laughed a little.

"Ok, wait here." He says, and goes to get a pair of ice skates that look like they would fit me.

"Thanks." I say, then, I put my plan into action. I'm a brilliant ice skater, mom was always taking me for skating lessons, but Jake didn't know that!

"I'm sorry Jake, but I'm not a very good ice-skater." I say trying to sound sad.

"It's ok!" He says lacing my skates, "I'll teach you! I'm not that good but I can hold my own."

I put a hand to my mouth to stop myself from giggling out loud.

"Kay, there, you're done, there's a pair of my mom's gloves over there," He says waving in the general direction. I go and get them while he laces his skates.

Cool! They were blue, my favorite color!

I return and he takes my hand, he steps gingerly onto the ice and helps me on.

I bite my lip to keep from laughing at his face! He was concentrating so hard on not falling and making a fool out of himself in front of me.

He then proceeds for 10 minutes to 'teach' me how to skate.

"Ok, I think I've got it, do you want to have a race?" I ask teasingly ready to leave him in the dust.

"If you're ready for defeat, then yes!" He says like there's no way I can win, we'll see about that.

"Yeah right," I shoot back, "I could cream you in five minutes!" I say.

"You're on!"

Shaking his head at me, the foolish girl who didn't know how to skate, he got ready.

"Ok, on your marks, get set," I say.

"Go!" He yells and starts skating.

I go slow at first, the prince is ahead of me smirking at his easy victory, I count to three and then take off, I remember what my instructors told me about speed and I catch up to Jacob easily in a few seconds, a turn around and go backwards, still faster than him, watching his face change from relaxed, to, 'Oh my gosh, she lied to me and can skate faster than me, how embarrassing' face.

I finish quickly and skate up to where we started. Jacob skates up next to me.

Mouth hanging open he starts stuttering, "What-but- huh?"

"I tricked you!" I crow, "You thought I couldn't skate, but I'm really faster than you!" I say grinning.

For a second he looks mad and I'm a little worried that I've gone to far, and then he bursts in laughter, guffawing hysterically.

"Good one Cass!" He chokes out.

I join in and pretty soon, like the two weirdoes we are, we're both maniacally laughing.

We skate around, holding hands and talking.

"How old are you Jake?" I ask, he behaved like a 10 year old, but I knew he was even older than me.

"18." He replies. "Hey, you want to have lunch?"

"Sure!" I say smiling, and stomach grumbling.

We step of the ice and he leads me to a table in the corner that I didn't see before, I guess I missed it.

"So," Jake says pulling off foil from the plates, "We have salad, and French fries and pizza, I wanted to make our date as close to the ones that normal, non royals have," He says shrugging his shoulders, "And then, for dessert, ice-cream!" He says excitedly.

"I love ice-cream!" I say matching his tone.

"Hey, look at that, we have something in common!" Jake says pulling out my chair for me to sit in.

"Why thank you kind sir!" I say.

"Why madam, you're quite welcome!" He responds getting our little joke.

And that's how it went, we joked around and ate our, 'normal date' food, now that was a stereotype, but I didn't say anything because Jacob seemed so happy to be with me.

It was strange though, we were both happy to spend time with each other, but there was nothing, well, romantic about it! I'd hoped to develop feelings for Jacob, and I did, just not, 'I want to be your wife feelings.'

But I'd still had a great time with the prince and I was feeling pretty giddy. I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings much, so when I walked past Ashley's room, I didn't even notice that her door was partially open, so all I could do was gasp in surprise when a cold hand snaked through the open door, grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside the room.

What did you think of the date? Who do you think grabbed Cassie? And why? You'll find out in the next chapter!

Thank you so much CateCassidy and Property of Illea for your help on the date, and to winterprincess for being a loyal reader and reviewer!
