THE MAKING OF A PRINCESS ~a Selection Challenge || FINALE!!!! Up Now!

I hate it when two Sims have broken up, couldn't hate each other more, and yet still one flirts with the other. It's as if if it happens once it can go on no matter what.

Chapter 5
Making Friends

~*~

"Do you think the prince will ask another one of us to spend time with him before the next report?" Sophie asked.

"I don't know." Delia replied

Addison rolled her eyes, she loved gossip as much as the next girl but the daily speculations on who the Prince's favourite was, or who he'd spend time with next and where he'd take her and what they'd do was getting old.

It had been five days now. Addison felt like the topic had been exhausted. She was starting to settle into a routine, but even this was getting too be a bit much.

Addison waved at the two friends Sophie and Delia who offered a warm wave...

...before become engrossed in their gossip again. They had obviously come down nice and early in an attempt to grab seats near the head of the table. It wasn't the best tactic exactly, because the other girls (especially the pushy ones) would just steal their seats when they went to grab breakfast and pretend that they were barking mad when they complained venomously that it was their seat.

Addison had stolen Chloe's seat it yesterday. Not that it had done her any good. The prince had spent the whole time talking with Ming and Sixela about the way that leadership and governance was organised on Sixam.

It had been interesting for awhile but she hadn't had anything to contribute to the conversation and she'd ended up talking to the girl next to her instead. This morning, Addison decided to try and look a little less desperate. Everyone was expecting the prince to ask another girl to spend some one on one time with him and she figured, the less obnoxious she was about pushing herself on him and the more relaxed she was - kind of like Ella had been - her chances of being noticed would be higher.

Ella wandered in just then and Addison found herself calling out to her.

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee441/SwiftyT/04-30-16_12-09-32nbspPM_zpsvjdizkhh.png

"Ella!" she said waving her over. Addison had felt a little bad for joining in when a number of the girls had been giving Ella a hard time about being the first girl asked out by the prince. It wasn't Ella's fault and Addison had to kind of admit that she really wanted to know how the date had gone, and what the prince had been like.

"Hey," Ella said, staring at her a little unsure. Addison had avoided Ella the day before, deliberately seeking out Valentina and ignoring Ella when she had told the girls about her date with the prince.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about my part in things the other day." Addison waited for Ella to say something but she continued to look at her, clearly waiting for more, "Would you like to sit with me? I kind of want to know what it was like. I heard that you had a picnic..."

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee441/SwiftyT/04-30-16_12-10-50nbspPM_zpseutgfmvq.png

"Yeah, we did." Ella offered and glanced around the room. Addison wasn't sure if she was looking for some of the other girls that she had gotten along with a little better, or if she was planning an escape route but Ella seemed to spot what she was looking for - Skye engaged in conversation with Viviana...

... and turned back to Addison nodding, "It was really nice. He took me around the gardens first...."

Addison was so engrossed in Ella's story and Ella was clearly enjoying having someone to tell the story too again that neither of them really looked up when the prince entered the room, though Ella did offer him a big smile. The two girls spent the rest of breakfast talking and laughing.

At least until they noticed that the dining hall had gone suddenly silent.

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee441/SwiftyT/04-30-16_12-15-45nbspPM_zpsa70xspn0.png

"Oh," Viviana said breaking the silence and glancing back up the table at the prince, "Yes, I would love to."

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee441/SwiftyT/04-30-16_12-17-33nbspPM_zpsnktwim6t.png

"I'll have a Maid collect you just after 5 p.m." The Prince said smiling at her. Addison huffed silently. Apparently he was taking another girl out and it was not her. Vivana nodded at the Prince breaking out in a gorgeous and excited smile.

"Ladies," The prince said, addressing the room at large.

"I realise that I haven't had the chance to get to know you all as well as I would have liked over the past few days, so I have organised for you all to join me for lunch in the grounds tomorrow afternoon. And, as I am sure you are all aware, tomorrow is our first Report since the Selection started. Walsh Cunningham will be conducting a special report and interviewing each of you before you make your entrance. It will be a busy day, but hopefully you will all bare with me through it."
