The Re-Selection

Chapter 6: Almost There

After a few minutes of walking, we arrive at the private jet. Max assists each one of us while we step onto the jet. After getting on the jet, I notice 4 seats. That's weird. There are only 3 of us here flying from this area.
"Um, sorry to bother you Max, but I noticed there are four seats, but only three of us. Is there another person coming?"
Max looks around, seeming confused.

"I think you're right lady Leslie, there should be a 4th lady. Let me make a few phone calls and I'll be right back." He scurries off. I look at Annika and she shrugs at me. We go over to a few chairs and sit down while Julia stays standing up texting on her phone, completely ignoring us.

*********time has passed***********
Max walks up to us. He alerts us that there is a another lady and he applauds me for noticing. I smile humbly.
"Lady Holly will also be flying with us. She was running a little late because she had to work this morning. She will be arriving any moment now. Sorry for the wait ladies."
Lady Julia sighs in annoyance. I ignore her and turn to Annika.
"I wonder why she is working on a morning like this? Shouldn't she be preparing for the selection?"
"Perhaps her family needs the money. I hate to say it, but she might be a lower caste than everyone else." Annika replies. I nod. I open my mouth to ask Annika another question, but am interrupted by Max walking up.
"Alright ladies, lady Holly has arrived. We will now leave to board our flights. Please follow me." While standing up to follow Max, I quickly glance at Holly. With her chocolate colored curly hair and sea green eyes, she is easily the most beautiful lady here. She smiles at me. I happily smile back, knowing that she will be a great friend.

We arrive at the jet, and begin to board on. Max assists each one of us up and then hops up himself.
"I will be your pilot today ladies. It will be a 3 hour ride, so just sit back and relax. We all nod and head to our seats. I take a window seat of the left, and Holly joins me.
"Hi! I'm Leslie."
"I'm Holly. Nice to meet you."
We begin chatting, and I find out a few things about her. Her caste was a seven. A seven. That explained why she had to work this morning. I know how it feels to be poor, because I'm a six. But Holly has suffered even more than me. I have seen starving sevens in the streets.
Even though Holly was a seven, she is absolutely beautiful. Her dark hair, sea green eyes, and small frame compliment her. At first, I was jealous of her, but after talking, I realize how sweet she is. She will defiantly be another friend of mine. When we finish talking, I quickly doze off from exhaustion.

A/N: Thank you all my dear readers! This was a fun chapter to write. I dedicate this chapter to Wyrdkey . The character Holly was named after her :) She will be a sweet character just like Wyrdkey ! Also, please check out my new book, The Accidental Encounter. It is about a girl and boy accident switching suitcases after getting off a long flight.
