Hi guys! I know, I'm not posting chapters soon enough :/ but this week our school went on a retreat for the whole week, and I just didn't have any time! I'm sorry guys, I really am. :( Thank you guys for the wonderful and sweet reviews, telling me that my story is great just makes my day *sniffle* I love you all so muuuch.

Also, I'm traveling for about a month for a school thing, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to be quick with the updating. I'm really sorry guys...

ANywaaaays! Lets get started!

Chapter 8

The next morning, Meg announces to us in the Ladies room, "Good morning ladies, I will have to tell you unfortunate news. After last night's ball our 3 lovely ladies: Giselle, Tiana, and Jane, were excused out of the Selection. Also, Ms. Snow White has also requested leave, so she and the 3 girls will now not be with us anymore. I'm sorry for the news this early in the morning, but then again I'm pretty sure many of you are happy that you were not dropped." Meg winks and walks out of the room and the girls are all silent. I leave the Ladies Common room and go back to my own. Rapunzel follows me.

"Elsa!" She calls out, I turn around cocking my head, "Can I go with you?" She smiles,

"Oh! I was just going to my room…but," I start,

"It's okay! Can I go?"

"Sure," I smile at her grabbing her by the hand leading her to my room.

"Ooh! I like your room, it's more cleaner than mine!" She giggles, "But don't you think all of our rooms are kind of...I don't know...boring?" Rapunzel looks at me with bedazzled eyes, she thinks for a moment and looks up at me again with a big smile on her face.

"Okay…what are you up to now," I smirk at her, her smiles grows wider.

"How about…. we paint our rooms!" She gives me a huge smile with her arms spread wide, I laugh out loud.

"Do you think we're allowed to…?" I rub the back of my neck,

"Yeah! Uh…I think so…? I mean it's our rooms, and I don't know…" She shrugs,

"How about we ask the princes?" I ask

"Uh, sure!" Punzie smiles,

"Speaking of princes….how are you and Flynn?" I raise my eyebrows smirking. Rapunzel becomes a shade darker as she looks to the floor and blushes.

"Uh..Uh..w-what are you talking about?"

"I saw you dance with him yesterday….." I smirk, Rapunzel looks at me as if I betrayed her, "You guys looked so cute," I whisper into her ear. Right then someone whispers next to me,

"Who looked cute?" A husky voice whispers from behind, I jump in surprise. There stood a laughing Flynn and a smirking Jack. I blush,

"I-I meant um…her dress looked cute….?" I try to sound firm but it ends up more like a question.

"M'kay….? I'll just pretend that I bought your lie," Prince Flynn raises his hand as if in defeat, and laughs.

"Umm anyways, Rapunzel and I were thinking if we can paint our rooms…?" I give them a doubtful smile,

"Sure, can we join?" Jack smiles, and I looked to Rapunzel,

"Uhh…yeah?" I shrug, "Do you guys have paint though…?"

"Yeah, c'mere we'll show you our arts room." Flynn leads the way to a beautiful big room filled with…art. Rapunzel gasps and wanders around the room fangirling over the paint and brushes,

"I'm in wonderland! Is this a dream?" She comes rushing towards me and hugs me, "Pinch me Els, I think I'm dreaming!" I laugh, as Flynn pinches her and Rapunzel jumps in surprise.

"What colors do you guys want?" Jack asks from behind the shelves of paint.

"I would like violet and yellow!" Rapunzel squeals,

"I think I would go with baby blue and white," I tell him and he nods, getting the pails of paint from the shelves and a few brushes.

The four of us put on our smocks and we cover our floors and furniture with plastic coverings and we get on to work. Jack and I were doing my room and Rapunzel and Flynn were painting Punzie's.

"So what are you gonna do?" Jack sits down next to me, as we both look around my room.

"I was…I was thinking about drawing snowflakes after I painted the whole room light blue." I dreamily smile, thinking about how perfect my room would look. I notice from the corner of my eye that Jack was staring at me, was that…sadness -or perhaps love- in his eyes? He clears his throat as he begins to open the can of fresh blue paint. "It's so beautiful!" I gasp, "I've never seen such a pretty shade of blue," I sigh, and Jack chuckles.

"Well we better get started, we have to beat Flynn and Rapunzel." Jack smirks, I grin and nod.

Once we were all done with painting the room blue, we started drawing the snowflakes.

"Oh my god Jack! You're so good at drawing snowflakes!" I exclaim as I examine his work of art. "All of them are different," I gaze at them in awe.

"Yours are pretty good too, Snowflake." He smirks, as he brushes his hair away to concentrate on the tiny snowflake on the wall.

That was cute. Wait…wha-? Did I actually think that? I blush red as I fake cough and resume to draw another snowflake.

It took us 3 hours—thanks to Jack—whereas Punzie took 4 hours, since Flynn didn't know how to draw suns and flowers. Our rooms looked polar opposite, winter in mine, and summer in hers, but nevertheless they were both so beautiful.

"I had a fun time Els, we should do my room sometime." Jack smirks as he and I take a walk in the gardens.

"It was fun indeed. But you should leave your room to be decorated by whomever you'll end up with. You'll have a great time with her too." I smile, as I looked down to my feet. Jack doesn't say anything, so I look up at him. His expression was unreadable, but I could tell he wasn't that happy, "Um, I'm sorry Jack, did I say anything wrong?" I quietly ask him. He doesn't reply for a while, and I look at my toes again.

"Why can't that be you?" He whispers, I look up at him,

"Well, I mean we could always decorate your room, if that's what you wanted. I didn't mean I didn't want to paint your room or anything, I just thought it might be better if you leave it so you can do it with your future-" He cuts me off.

"I meant, why can't you be the one I end up with? Do we have to stay friends? Do you want us to stay friends?" He grabs me by the arm, looking at me straight in the eye. I look at him wide eyes, and flush.

"U-um, I-I" I try to speak, but no words come out,

"Tell me Elsa, do you have no feelings for me? None?" He pleads, and I stay frozen, "Okay…I get it, I'm sorry." He lets go of me and starts to go back, "It was a very fun day today Elsa. I'll see you at dinner," I panic,

did I have anything towards him?

No

Do I want to stay friends?

Maybe…?

Do I want to lose him?

No…

"Jack! Wait!" I run to him and I hug him from the back, stopping him in his tracks. "I-I don't know my feelings. I'm not s-sure, I just know that- that I don't want to lose you…" I whisper into his wide lean back. He turns around and hugs me,

"That's enough for me." He whispers into my ears. He pulls me back and brings his lips close to mine. And the last remaining space between our lips was gone.

I was starting to fall for him. And it was dangerous.
