Petty (3)

Hazel stood off to the side as she awaited her time to dance with Tobias. The queen had called on everyone else and now she was the last person to dance with him. 

No one could change her mind that the queen wasn't upset about something. Hazel didn't pride herself on being special to go first and liked that she got to stand where she did to look around the ballroom again, but there was a weird feeling she got from all of this. That and the fact she had caught the queen looking her way a few times and there wasn't a smile. 

She also noticed the other women staring her way and talking amongst themselves. They must think it was entertaining to see her be last when she had been the prince's favourite choice yesterday. Most likely thinking that she was upset, but Hazel enjoyed looking around to pass the time.
