Choice - A Selection Fanfiction

Chapter 3 - Chosen

"From Kent, Miss Haley Marvella!"  Amy said

Prince William's face was smiling. But I knew the drill. Smile on camera.

I sighed.

"From Hansport, Miss Olivia Cole!"

"From Clermont, Miss Alice Newsome!" Amy said, her face surprised

Queen America looked surprised. (In this book Celeste never died)

So did King Maxon.

"Mom! Isn't Newsome, like, Celeste's family." I asked

"Yes. Her granddaughter." Mom said

"From Waverly, Miss Emma Maloe!" 

"From Zuni, Miss Ella Cut!"

"From Paloma, Miss Camille Kober!"  

"From Tammins, Miss Hannah Whit!"

"From Sonage, Miss Luna Wale!"

"From Dakota, Miss Sophie Jolan!"

God was this long! And for what? Just to put down my family's hopes?

"From Columbia, Miss May Harley!" Amy continued

I fell backwards.

Mom and Jolie screamed and jumped around me, Dad was standing up looking confused. Clay was staring at the T.V. where Amy had continued.

"I'm not going!" I yelled

"You are! You are! You are!" Jolie sang

I buried my head in my hands.

How out of thousands of girls had I been chosen?

"I'm going to bed." I sighed

"Two girls from Angeles!? Oh well. From Angeles, Emma Ile and......." She trailed off

"Amy?" Prince William asked

"Me. It's me." She said

Prince William toppled out of his chair and King Kile grabbed him by his shirt and set him upright.

Prince William's cheeks flushed.

"Continue." Prince William said seriously

I rolled my eyes and headed to bed

"Officials will be here tommorow!" Mom called

"I know!" I yelled back.

I got to my room and flopped on the bed.

Someone tapped on my window.

I looked. James. I opened the window.

"What?" I hissed

James was my Ex.

"Wanted to say hi." He purred

"What. Do. You. Want?" I growled

His smiled faltered

"I saw you on T.V." He said

"Got a problem?" I asked

"Well, we only broke up recently..." He started

"As in, a year? Go away James. I never want to see your face again." I snarled

I shut the window and slumped in bed.

"You know where I live!" He yelled, voice muffled

"Don't need to!" I yelled back

"He won't fall for you!" James yelled

This fueled me.

"Oh yeah!?" I said, yanking the window open

"Second wind?" He smiled

"I was going to refuse to go. But now, now I'll show you I'm not a coward. You'll see. Second wind over." I grumbled

"Same old May." James laughed

I snarled again and shut the window.

He left me alone.

What had I gotten myself into? And, mean? Me? I hated being mean.
