The Queen of Nobody (Rewriting)

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

In three hours time, the walks was finished and in twenty minutes time the name of thirty girls were called and they were eliminated living only 65-70 girls in the first round of the ceremony.

The first elimination way to me was not a standard one, but I knew that those girls were the ones that were already doubted from the beginning.

And we were all asked to go back among the not so large crowd of people.

Then a girl met me, "what do you think we will be doing next", "I too am curious" I lied and she seemed satisfied to hear that she was not the only curious or nervous person here.

"My name is Jacinta, but you can call me J" she said in a rush. J really wasn't what I was expected as her nickname, I thought she would say something like call me Jac, not J, it was just too insignificant, but this was neither the right place nor the right time to advise a person on a change of nickname so I just nodded "nice name" I lied again and that made her happy:- well lying is really the key "I love your fingers" I lied again, and she raised up her hand and I quickly noticed that she was wearing a glove, and then I began to lie more to cover up "the shape of your hand in the glove" I said and I looked closely and the glove really did not fit her too much and it was like she knew that, and I think she feels like I am trying to fool her so that she could make a mess of herself on stage, and that's when I knew that I had to lie wisely and I might have taken it too far.

"Jacinta" I pronounce to change the topic "I had a close friend named Jacinta, and you remind me of her" I spit the lie with so much seriousness and she smiled a little.

"How was she, she asked" "beautiful, strong, confident and agile" I lied again. And she smiled and began to lunch into a full chat with me, then a sound interrupted us, it was a sound of the microphone being tapped, we turned to the stage.

It was the same jelled haired man that was the first to mount the stage.

"The next phase is the interview; in this time each and every of the approximately 70 girls will be given a seven minutes interview, so please ladies report back to the dressing room to freshen up, also the servants are here and this means that the food and drinks have arrived too, so ladies and gentlemen feel free to feast with us" he finished.

None of the girls picked even a little food as they did not want any reason to be eliminated but most of the girls were served wine which they gladly accepted and few requested for just water.

We were ushered back into the dressing room and our makeup where freshened up, most girls including me bathed again.

Some changed their dresses why other did not.

I entered into the bathroom to bath as I was number 27 and I still had time.

I removed my dress and kept it in the dressing room as I entered the bathroom I wore a bath robe and entered into the spacious bathroom, I took my time and I bathed for one hour as I had two hour plus for my turn reaches for the interview, as I was in the bathroom I planned.

As soon as I came out of the bathtub I knew that something was wrong.
