The Selection: I was reborn as Celeste Newsome

Chapter Seven

After the makeover was done they guided me to a rack of dresses, nothing surprising they chose a light blue dress for me. I honestly didn't know what dress I was gonna wear since either I can't remember or the book never mentioned what dress Celeste was going to wear. Either way I was sent to the after shot and ready to get interviewed.

As in cue a woman came up with a clipboard of information in her hand and asked me to be patient while she found my papers.

"So, Celeste Newsome" she said "A well known model, in The Selection, how do you feel?"

"I feel a little bit nervous" which is true. I am nervous just not for the Selection because I know the outcome, but I'm nervous because I don't know if my plans will go as I'd like. "But over all everyone has been friendly and I feel like it's an easygoing environment"

"Well, I can see that you didn't do a lot of changes with your makeover, why is that and what did they do?" she asked, as she said this I brushed my hair with my fingers and answered

"Since I asked them to keep it natural, they painted my nails, trimmed my hair and they straightened my hair a bit since it's a bit wavy normally"

"It looks really lovely. That dress suits you"

"Oh thanks" I said "I normally dress in more darker colors but I liked it"

"That is very true, on the magazines you mostly appear in dark clothing, either way you look really good in light clothes as well"

"Well it's a fresh start, new clothes are the beginning"

"Yes, How do you feel about the competition so far?"

"Well everyone has been lovely and I think we can get along pretty nicely"

"Perfect, I think that's all the time we have for the interview, it's been a pleasure"

"Likewise" I said with a smile and waving goodbye.

As I made my way towards where all the other girls were I felt looks of either envy or admiration, I'm used to it so I don't mind them. I looked around to find a familiar face and I saw Marlee tugging America towards where I was standing. Marlee was the first one to break the ice.

"Celeste!" she said, excited "You looked so professional in there, you looked awesome"

Now, this took me by surprise. I never expected them to try and be friends with me since this did not happen in the original story. Anyway this is a win for me. I don't have to make an effort anymore.

"Thanks" I said "This is pretty much my daily routine, so I'm used to it." I mentioned and looked at them "You both look really gorgeous, you both did great at the interview also"

"Thanks, I was a little nervous" said America

"But you did awesome" said Marlee

Before I could respond Silvia came in and said that she will give us a tour and show us our assigned rooms. She mentioned that the Women's Room was where they did our makeover, we passed through the Great Room where we would all eat and our assigned seats. Lastly she mentioned that the third floor was off limits that is where the royals family resides. She mentioned the gardens and that's where my attention was. I needed to come back here to see the first meeting of our main characters. As a fan you must understand that I will never miss the chance to see this exchange in person.

Silvia continues saying that it was dangerous to be outside and not completely allowed. At last we were shown the staircase for the second floor where we all would be staying. Finally we went around the hall guiding the girls to their room and as we did so I saw America with a weird expression.

"What's the issue?" I asked her. She looked at me a bit shocked as if she thought she had hidden her expression really well. "Are you overwhelmed?"

She nodded "I am. Quite frankly it's a bit too much, a lot of rules and structure. Do you not feel suffocated?"

I contemplated the question and tried to give good advice. "I'm not really that worried since I know this won't last very long." she looked at me a bit confused "What i mean is... what are the chances that of all 35 of us he would pick me, you know?. I also try to live one day at a time. So don't worry and also about the rules if you forget one just ask me"

She looked a bit more at ease but not completely calmed. But that's okay I need her to freak out a bit so that she can meet our male lead. This is just getting started.
