YOU ROCK SOCKS!

The B-day Ball

Paul looked around the crowd. Where was Selena her sister had already arrived and so had the other royal family members. But were was Selena? The heralds staff was heard and the room quieted slightly.

"The Lost Princess, Princess Selena Litany." Paul stared up at the figure that came foreward and glided down the stairs. He would never have recognized her. She didn't look like herself, she looked slightly nervous but otherwise she wasn't the Selena he knew. He turned away feeling that he was no longer important to her.

She searched the room looking for Paul. She found him turned away looking somewhere else. What had she done? What was wrong with her? Did he hate her now? She walked towards her sister who was staring over at a blue eyed stranger. Ara grabbed her sisters arm. She pointed towards the blue eyed man.

"Please, go talk to him bring him over here. I'm too scared!" Selena approached the man. His blue eyes spotted her green eyes he smiled,

"Princess, I am glad to meet you. Why am I favored above the others, I'm waiting for someone." He said it with a determined tone as if that was it and there was no more to say. She smiled, he was interesting, why had Ara picked him out of everyone else?

"Well, my sister asked me to invite you over. It's a royal invitation." He considered what she said,

"A royal invitation… how could I refuse." Selena smiled,

"She's right over there, go talk to her." The man walked towards her sister. She edged a little closer, trying to catch what the two were saying. Ara smiled,

"Hello, Matt. How are you?" He had been looking the other way, at the mention of his name he turned.

"How did you know my na…" He stared at her, she smiled innocently,

"Lora, you're the-the…" She finished the sentence for him.

"Princess. Yes, I know, I don't need to be told that. Are you going to stand here staring? Because if you are then I can go find someone else." He shook his head,

"No wonder you didn't want anyone to know your name. The princess!" She laughed and the two began to converse easily. Selena turned away losing interest in the couple. She turned towards were Paul had been standing. He had moved. She spotted him moving towards the garden. She hurried towards him, weaving through the crowd of people.

Once she got outside she stopped, trying to spot him. She saw him go into the court yard maze. Then he disappeared. She ran into the maze hoping to catch up with him. She knew Paul knew how to get out of the Maze so she went the correct way and never came across him. Then she searched the maze having no destination but to find Paul. She finally found him in a grove of trees. He was standing and stared up towards the heavens. She slowed her pace and slid behind him. He didn't seem to notice her presence.

"Paul…" He turned towards her surprised she was there.

"Yes?…" He said it slowly and cautiously. He didn't want to seem to eager, because of his conclusion of how Selena had changed. She turned away embarrassed that she had even hastened after him.

"I've been looking for you all over the place! Why don't you join the dance?" He turned to look her in the eyes. She saw an emotion she had never seen in his eyes before. Was that hate? Or was it anger towards her? What had she done to provoke such a look? His face seemed to doubt what he had concluded. Did she still like him?

"Why, I'm no one of consequence? You seem to be avoiding me except for now." Her face gained a puzzled look. What was he talking about? How could he believe such things of her? Didn't he know her well enough?

"Paul Samson, I am surprised at you! Don't you know me better than that? How could I ever foreget you?!" His face showed relief thoroughly. So she had not foregotten him!

His mind went back through the past, images of Selena and him together. He remembered the day that he discovered he liked Selena. He blushed furiously at himself. She had changed so much!

Selena waited for his response, Paul was quiet, and seemed to be day dreaming. She felt her cheeks heat up. It was silent, but awkward. How could he leave her hanging like this? She was just dying for their easy conversations to continue.

Paul came back to the present staring up at the stars,

"It's a beautiful night…" Selena nodded in agreement.

"It reminds me of the time…" He blushed,

"That night on the boat. When we gazed at the stars." She looked up at the skies. Admiring the beauty of nature. Matt placed himself beside her and watched her admiringly. How could he have been so stupid?

Ever since they had arrived at Jadoni, neither of them had time to talk. Selena had been in royal classes learning. He had been helping lifting and carrying things for the celebration. But that's no reason to think that she no longer felt for him. It probably made her love for him grow. He touched her shoulder gently. She turned to face him. His other hand touched her cheek gently. He embraced her sending thrills through her body. And then his lips found hers and they kissed.

(Second Kiss- isn't that exciting? Ok, I'm sorry about the glitch. This is the real chapter. Its going to get juicier. From this point there will be a lot of twists and turns. I hope you enjoy it.
