A/N: hi :) scroll for a pretty song <3

Lola

i'm not nervous i'm not nervous i'm so not nervous

i repeat over and over in my head as i stand on a stage in front of over two hundred people, with fake, plastic, bitches to the side of me that i've worked my ass off to get to nationals with.

i looked absolutely stunning.

my dress was gorgeous.

my hair was on point.

i did a beautiful performance and everything was perfect

i felt pretty and confident

i knew i deserved this

i wanted to win. i needed a win.

my smile was big, but also aching to take a break as i've been holding it for about fifteen minutes now.

it was down it me, and some blonde chick from florida.

chloe norman

we've grown up competing in pageants together. she's my biggest threat and i am hers.

she didn't stand a chance. not with me.

"and our twenty twenty one miss teen hollywood is.." the head instructor pre-announced.

"i advise you go ahead and pack up your tears monroe" chloe whispers to me with a fake smile. loud enough for me to hear but subtle enough so it looks like she didn't say a word.

"oh suck it chloe" i say back in the same manner. "eat my diamonds"

she gasps and i grin slightly seeing as that's such big fighting slang in the pageant world.

i had clenched my fists to my side, wishing and hoping.

my family in the crowd watched in the same anticipation and eager.

i got this

"lola bella monroe" i hear my name gleefully get called and i cover my mouth instantly.

"oh my god!" my voice muffled behind my hands, i cant hide my excitement.

hell. yes!

a crown is lightly but graciously placed upon my head. tall and sparkling from across the wide room.

"thank you" i say gracefully as another puts a sash over me and also hands me eighty thousand dollars in cash.

damn

whoa

i won cash!!!

"ugh!" chloe stares at me in disbelief. her jaw was practically to her heels.

close your mouth sweetie, you're envy is showing.

"we can be friends but.. as long as you don't get between me and securing my bag" i say kindly with a soft smile and she grunts as me.

i was so happy right now.

i stepped to the end of the stage and almost everyone in the room was standing there in awe of me. clapping and applauding.

for me

my mom looked proud. for once.

god believe me when i say that's all i dream of seeing some days.

luka and aura gave me whistles and it felt really good to be me right now.

i felt like i was on top of the world
