Chapter 12

After dinner, Ty brought me straight up to my room. Val and Matt were supposed to meet us soon. Ty wasted no time to pick me up and kiss me. He sat down on the couch. We told the other two to come in 10 minutes later. We told Matt that we wanted to finish our plan, but we were just going to wing it. I knew that no Matter what, they would get back together.

Ty kissed me on and on. I was out of breath, so he moved onto my neck. I groaned, I love this, just being with Ty. Not wanting to have a mark left on my neck, I switched to kissing Ty's neck. He growled, and kissed my lips. The kisses slowed as we sat up. I gave him a quick kiss and went to the bathroom to touch up. I changed my clothes into pants. I knew that I would want to be comfortable.

Ty came into my bathroom to clean the lipstick off his neck and face. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck. I turned to kiss him back, he backed up really fast,

'I just washed that lipstick off' I stepped towards him.'I warned you. Don't do it. I'll get revenge.' I shrugged and jumped on him. I knew that he would catch me. I grabbed his face and kissed it with all my might. He fell back holding me, he melted into my kiss. I pulled back and jumped down.

'Worth it.' I said that and went back to cleaning up.

'Come on they are going to be here soon.' I followed him into my room and we sat down on the couch. There were two chair on the side on the couch with a coffee table in between. There was a knock minutes later. I got up to open it and saw Matt looking stressed.

'Come on Matt.' He came in and sat on the chair to the right of the couch. I went to the door when another knock rang. Val came in looking sad. But the second she saw Matt tried to run towards him. I stopped her. She then walked towards the other seat.

'Okay, Val, Matt filled us in on what happened. I knew that you would want a chance to explain yourself.' She looked towards Matt.

'Matt, I would never do that. You know I have feelings for you. I didn't initiate the kiss. I tried to get out of it. He was a friend from home. Apparently he had feelings for me. I never knew or felt that way back. He just wanted a kiss, I didn't want to give it to him.' She looked at Matt sincerely. Matt looked back at Val and then at us.

'Can you give us a moment?' I nodded and got up. Ty put a hand on my back as we walked out. The second we were out, I put my ear to the door. Ty did the same. I heard them start talking.

'Val, is this true?' Immediately after we heard,

'Of course Matt, I love you' She choked it out so I knew she was crying.

'I want to say it back you know that right.' He paused. 'But I can't with the Selection, I really like you and I want to say it just not yet.' There was a silence and I was hoping that he kissed her. I looked to Ty with a smile on my face. I got up, and grabbed Ty's hand. I bursted through the door, Val and Matt looked at me horrified. They had been kissing, but I didn't care.

'Come on, Matt you don't have any dates. So we are going to go to town on the down low with Eli and Bella.' Val smiled. She was getting the most special time with Matt than any of the other girls will get or got. 'Now go change, we can't look like us.'

I pushed everyone towards the door and told Ty to tell Eli and Bella. I would tell my parents myself. I changed into burgundy pants, an army jacket a gray sweater and brown tall boots. I had to grab my aviators and sweater hat. I ran to my parent's room. I knocked and walked in,

'Hey we are going into the town on the down low tonight. Is that okay?' My parents looked a little worried. They looked at each other and my mom huffed.

'Fine, but who is we?' I take a breath.

'Me, Ty, Eli, Bella' I say this last part fast,'MattandVal.' I smile.

'Fine, be safe bring at least 4 guards.' I nodded and ran off to the common room on the third floor.

'COME ON!' I screamed that and they laughed at me. We walked down to the car at the front of the palace. I pulled Matt aside,

'Matt, do you think that Val is the one?' I whispered this to him, hoping the answer is yes. He smiled and nodded.

'I'm eliminating three girls tomorrow and then next week announcing the Elite.' I stopped dumbfounded.

'Really? You are going really fast. It has only been like 3 weeks.'

Matt shrugged, 'I know what I want.' He looked at Val and walked towards her and I walked back to Ty. We all climbed into the car. It was a squeeze with the six of us. We were so close.

'Shades on.' Ty said that so dramatically that is caused the rest of us to laugh. We climbed out and made our way to the fountain.

'So guys what do you want to do?' We go here not that often but we have seen a lot.

'How about we ask our guest of honor?' I look towards Val. In her 20 years of living, she has never left her home province of Allens.

'Food first?' We laughed and walked towards a shopping center in town. There was a food court so we could get food there.

'So ice cream?' Eli and Bella stopped.

'OF COURSE!' They screamed at us. The rest of us laughed at their enthusiasm. I gave them a 20 to go get us all ice cream. They ran back with their ice cream. Bella had hers, mine and Ty's. Eli had his, Val and Matt's. He walked up to her and asked,

'So are you gonna be my sister soon.' She smiled at him then Matt. Val whispered to Eli loudly,

'I hope so.' Matt wrapped an arm around her waist.

'Let's go to our favorite spot.' Val was confused. Matt gladly explained,

'When we were little we found this bench in the park and we have just loved it ever since. It is so calm, peaceful and private.' We got there in about five minutes. Eli and Bella just ran off and played. Ty, Val, Matt and I squeezed onto the bench. Ty sighed,

'This was easier when we were younger.' There was a light laugh. He smiled and said,'I also had an excuse of being a child to do this,' He smashed his ice cream in my face. I screamed.

'Oh you are going to so get it,' I jumped up as he started to run. I chased after him and jumped on his back and smashed mine right in his face. I hopped off his back. He laughed and turned around. I wiped my hand all over his face to rub it in. I just wanted to smash my lips to his. And I think he did also.

I saw Val and Matt laughing up a storm. Eli and Bella had joined us. I heard Ty whisper,

'Do you think they can keep our secret?' I nodded. I knew they would no matter what.

I looked at Ty and then his lips. I slowly brought my lips to his and gave him a soft kiss, even with the softness, it had passion. His arms automatically wrapped around my waist. I pulled back and saw Matt's face pale white, Val, Eli and Bella had huge smiles on their faces.

'Can you keep this a secret?' Val answered for them with an Of Course!

'How long has this been going on?' Matt was acting weird.

'Only a day, but it feels longer. I really like him Matt.' I knew he was trying to be big brotherish.

'This seems pretty new, are you sure?' I looked at Ty,

'I'm sure.' This is when Eli piped in and cut Matt off.

'You better not hurt her.' Ty looked at me.

'I wouldn't dare' Eli stood proudly.

'Good because you would have to see me if you did. I would hurt you but I wouldn't want to.' Ty sighed dramatically.

'Don't worry buddy. Now I'm scared to. I don't want to mess with you and get hurt.' Eli smiled and stood like a soldier. Bella wrapped her arm around his.

'Now you can't tell anybody, we weren't planning on telling everyone for a couple months.' They nodded. 'We should get back'. On the way back, Ty carried me on his back. Val and Matt were wrapped around each other. When we got to the car, Val kissed Matt, quickly and softly. Eli and Bella screamed 'ew' and Bella said,

'Too much kissing between everybody. You need to stop.' Val and I looked at each other and smirked. We both kissed our men and the kids screamed in disgust.

The next day 3 girls were eliminated.

A week from then the Elite were announced.

Obviously Lady Valerie Miller from Allens, then Ladies Harper Brooks from Angeles, Caroline Jones from Hansport, Kathryn Young from Midston, Laura Moore from Tammins and Carly Jackson from Zuni.

The day after the Elite were announced was a day I forgot about. Nobody else did.

What day did Charlie forget? I'm thinking for the book I am writing I am going to ask for help from you guys. I have some names for some characters but I want to know what you guys come up with. I am going to post something soon with the characters and ask for reviews with some names. Hope you guys still like this story BYEEEEEEE!
