Oliver was staring at his toes as he swayed his feet back
and forth. She shifted in his seat, folding his small hands in his
lap. He looked up, catching Troye's glance, and gave a sweet smile.
He looked away, looking around the room. Where were all the other
competitors? He sighed.
Nikki was listening to all the other competitors in the dining hall
having good conversations. She stood near the wall, looking at the
others.
Evelyn finished up her makeup, then looked over at Gem. "How do I
look?" She asked, staring at Gem impatiently.
Gem nodded. "You look good. Are you ready to-" She began. "I can
lead myself to the dining hall." Evelyn said, standing up and
leaving the room. Her heels gave small clicks whenever she took
another step.
Crimson glanced up at the others who were talking.
She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. How people were able
to start talking and get along with each other so fast... She
couldn't help but wonder how they did that.
Crimson sighed, and looked back at her hands.
'This is boring...' She thought, tapping her foot.
Troye glanced up to see Crimson and Nikki and waved them over with
a smile. "Come join us! You look a little bored." He said. They
looked a little left out, and he wanted to get to know everyone
anyway.
Crimson nodded, and moved to another seat, closer to them so she
could talk.
"Um, alright, if you say so. ...Uh, what are your names?" She
asked, smiling at bit.
"I'm Troye." Troye said with a wink. He turned his chair around so
that the his back was facing the table. It made talking to both
Lithar and Crimson easier.
Listening to their conversation, Nikki slowly walked over with a
small smile. She hoped that they would like her, and wouldn't throw
her away or anything.
"Oh, I think he's really nice and pretty cute." Nikki said, smile
widening just a little. She looked at the Prince, then looked away
again. Her gaze rested on the ground in front of her.
Lithar laughed a bit at Troye."I can agree with that.Food would be
nice."He muses.He looks over at Nikki and smiles."I don't think we
got your name Miss."
"Oh, I'm Nikki." Nikki said. She also thought that food would be
nice right about now, but she managed to hold her thought in so she
wouldn't say it out loud.
