Men!
Prince Jonathan of Conte stormed back and forth across his room.
He still hadn't gotten over what that… that disgrace of a human being said to him!
"I can't believe she talked to me like that!"
"She's just a lady Jon, it doesn't really matter, what she said doesn't matter!" his cousin, Gary said resignedly.
"But it's the principle on the thing! How dare she?!"
Gary sighed. Some people could take things over board, and Jon was one of those people.
"Well Jon, she's only Trebond's sister. So it isn't that bad," Raoul added.
"It doesn't matter whose sister it was!"
Raoul gave Gary a helpless look and Gary nodded.
"I wonder if Delia is going to go to the ball," Alex said sighing.
"Mmmm," Gary and Raoul replied dreamily.
Jonathan looked at the strangely. "I don't believe you three! You see her once and you are already dreaming about her! You make me sick!" he shouted at them and stormed out the room.
"Did I miss something?" Raoul asked staring at the door.
"No more than I," Gary muttered.

Thom walked out of his room and headed to the library. He had a bit of study to catch up on since he missed a day's worth of it because of his headache. Apparently Alanna had dragged him back to his room by his feet, which wasn't too good to his head, especially since he had the biggest lump there anyway.
As Thom went to walk into the library, the prince came storming past him, pushing him to the ground, and kept on walking. Thom started after him. If it wasn't one person pushing him to the ground, it was another.

Alanna walked around the market for the second time that week. And yes, she was looking for a dress to wear to the stupid ball. She was hoping there were none for sale, but unfortunately, there were four stalls and three shops. And if she had to get a dress, she might as well get a good one right?
"Hello again m'lady," a voice drawled from behind her.
She turned around. It was him…
"What do you want?" She asked angrily.
"Nothing, just saw you and came to say hi," he told her smiling.
"Yeah right," she muttered softly while rolling her eyes.
"Truly, why would I lie?"
"Because you're a thief," she told him.
"That's a pretty harsh accusation, you know that? Are you sure that I am."
Alanna smiled smugly. "Of course I am." Oh how I hope I'm right! Alanna thought deep down. The truth is, she didn't have the foggiest idea.
"Ah, well it must be true then mustn't it?"
Alanna stared at him blankly.
He smiled. "Nice day to you my lady Alanna of Trebond."
Alanna watched him go. Wait! He knew my name!
"Hey you!" She shouted while chasing after him. "Come back! I didn't tell you my name! How did you know may name?!"
