The Selection (YouTube edition)

Chpater 5

(Hah Adam's selection picture wouldn't have looked this nice, but enjoy fancy Adam.)
It's been about a week since I turned my form in. Today is Friday, the day of The Report. The Report, is what comes on TV every Friday. The royal family is usually on it, and so is the Minecraftia news reporter, Sarai. She announces anything new going on in Minecraftia. The King and Queen's names are King Luke, and Queen Ashleigh. We have a small TV in our living room we always use to watch The Report. On Friday night, we gathered around the TV eagerly to watch it. Around 7:00, our national anthem comes on, which is always how the report starts off. After the national anthem finishes, Sarai comes on the screen. "Gooooooood evening Minecraftia!" She says in a silky sweet tone of voice. "Welcome to The Report! Now tonight, is a pretty special night. We get to talk to the girl of the hour, out very sweet princess Alesa! As you all know, The Selection is going on at this very moment. By next Friday, we will learn who will be the 35 boys who will have the honor of being one of the selected! But for now, let's talk to this beautiful lady, Alesa how are you this evening?" Alesa smiles sweetly, almost too perfect. "I'm doing fabulous, Sarai!" She replied batting her eyelashes. Gah, it was too much to take. "How do you feel about The Selection, and the fact you'll be sharing a house with 35 other men?" "It's quite nerve-racking honestly." Alesa chuckled. "I don't know what to do about it." Sarai chuckled too. "Now this is a personal opinion depending on who you are, but when you find that special guy in the selected, is there a preference on which caste?" Wow that was a pretty serious question. What would Mrs. Perfect say to that? "Caste does not matter to me." Alesa said sweetly. Bingo. "Alright Alesa, thanks for your time your highness!" Sarai finished off the interview. I didn't really pay attention to the rest of The Report. All I know is that the king discussed the ongoing war with rebels, and how they were making advancements or something. Tonight, I would sneak out to meet Dawn, again. I was going to talk to her about marriage. After I don't make it into the selection, I would marry Dawn. We would have our own happily ever after. Eventually The Report ended so I "went to bed" and waited until midnight rolled around. When that time came, I snuck out of the window quietly, and climbed into the tree house, to see her already sitting there. "Hey beautiful." I grinned. She gave a half-hearted smile, then we leaned in to kiss. Something didn't seem quiet right, but I didn't question it. After we kissed, I rang up a conversation. "So Dawn, I was thinking about something. You know as well as I do, I'm not even going to get picked for The Selection. So I want to ask you something serious." Dawn looked at me. "What, what is it Adam?" She asked nervously. "Dawn," I began, started to feel shaky. "We've been meeting in secret for about two years now, and I want to ask you something. You know as well as I do I'm not making it into The Selection, I'm not royalty material. I want you to know you truly make me the happiest guy on earth. So Dawn, will you marry me?" I finally popped the question, and a look of horror was locked onto Dawn's face. "What's wrong sweetie?" I asked, scared I had done something wrong. Dawn didn't say anything for a few minutes. Then she looked me straight in the eye. "I'm sorry to say this Adam, but, there's someone else."
