His way (3)

Helena continued to smile, thinking it was her name called because she only heard the Wallace part. For some reason, she blacked out when Hazel's name was said. It was only after a few more seconds did her smile started to become smaller as she realised that she wasn't the Wallace sister the prince had called.

Helena kept her eyes on Tobias, watching him hold out his hand for Hazel to come to him. 

There was a pain in her chest from seeing Hazel step forward from beside her. Helena gripped the sides of her dress, trying her best not to let her anger show. She was on the verge of tears because it was twice now that she was not picked when she should be next.

Had the prince hit his head forgetting that he danced with only her? That he should continue to show interest in her? It was hard to be happy for Hazel though she wanted to be when Helena was not picked no matter what good luck she had.
