The Next's Elite

Chapter 20: The day on the Chariot

Chapter 20

"This evening, you will be in Valentino Black Empire!" said Danice. Black Empire! Good! My mom just back home this morning. She has to work. She promised that this evening she will be watching me.

"Great! When it start?" I asked. 

"6 p.m. The stage is on the field like the first time you were opening number. A lot of people will be watching you." He said. 

"So what can I do?" I asked. 

"They will show you." He answers and shows me a dress. 

Like the queen.

Black solid clothes.

A pair of black gloves and high heels.

Vinne and Ninna makeup for me.They just put something simple on my face.

After that, I go down to the first floor with Danice, and my prep team. It almost 4 p.m. When I arrive the first floor. I see a lot of people waiting outside of the building. They're waiting to see us. Then, I go straight to the field. On the back stage, Aya, Julia, and January are there.

They dress in Black Empire too. Their faces look so nervous. I'm walking into them.

Then, a lady walking to us. She is a lady who has been telling us since the first time at the opening number. 

She explains everything in this time. She shows a stage plan. The field is circle. The spectator sitting around the field and a circle is on the center of the field. The stage is made by glasses. They put LCDs everywhere around the field. 

"Tonight, you don't have to walk anymore. We designed something very special for you." She said and shows us the chariots.

It amazing! It looks like Cinderella's chariot. It made from metal and paint in white color. Each chariot has 2 horses. She tells us to ride it around the field and then stop at the end of the field and walk to the stage. 

At 5 p.m. Miss. Cameron Portman arrives.

She's wearing black long dress.

Blond curly hair with golden earrings.

Then, on her left chest, it a gold pin. I saw she wore it when the host announced she is a winner. It small. It has paisley at the both side and "The Next's Elite" alphabets on the center between the paisley.

It only for winner. Then, the time is come. 

A lady comes forward to us. She tells Miss. Cameron to prepare on the chariot and then, she leaves into the field... 

I hear the crowd outside cheering for her.

Her voices surrounding in the field.

For a year...I have been learning so much from the world. Elite competition has been changed me forever. And now...I am here to wear this pin for the girl who came before me...

her sound stops during she stop the chariot at the end of the field and then, she walks upstairs to the stage. 

"Well! Good evening...I'm very happy to see all of you right here." said Cameron.

"So, let's start with Miss. Rachel Haward."a lady declares. I hear my name. A lady tells me to sit on the chariot to waiting for enter to the field.

I see LCDs screen in the field show my faces, my activity.

First, when I start to walk on the field of the opening number day, stay in Crystal room, at the first day of announcement, I screaming to Ms. Caroline Whitely, at the forest, hunting, at the France, donate with children, answer the question, and in the Cosmetic room. I startled when I see myself in the screen. That was all competition. Everything I do, every judges are watching me and give me a score. That was cameras everywhere. In the cosmetic room, they put the contestant biography because they want to test our mind, our characteristic.

That is a competition that no one can't know. This is amazing competition! This is show how value is this competition have! No one can understand about it!! 

A lady call me to prepare for enter the field. Everything is fine. The chariot move straight out of the back stage... 

I hear the crowd is cheering for me in my head... 

They smile at me... I hear my voice surrounding the field. Mom! My beautiful mom. I love her so much. She is the only one that I always take care, worry, and want to stay with forever...for 2 months, I was screaming to her to escape this competition, but now I understand why I have to stay here until my time is done! Everything I did is only for my mom... That my answer. When I answered for Ms. Alyson Blunt and Ms. Caroline Whitely. 

Then, the chariot stops at the end of the field and then I walk straight to the stage. Miss. Cameron gives me a hug. Then, we were waiting for Aya, Julia, and January coming too. I see Aya in the screens. Then, she is coming out with the chariot. Julia and January are coming too. Everyone is on the stage. 

Mrs. Paris Vindrop Scott and all the judges coming too. They're standing on the left of stage. 

"Now! it is the time for announcement. Mrs. Paris will call your name one by one." Said Miss. Cameron. 

Mrs. Paris come over and takes a letter from her assistant. 

"Well! When you hear your name, it means you're takes down." She declares, and then takes out the small paper out of the letter. "The girl who must be taking down is...Julia Temple! Your scores of 1278." 

I see Julia walks out of the stage into the back stage. I hurt for her. Right now is only 3 of us. 

"Second, Aya Havali! Scores of 1371." Aya is going too. My best friend. I begin to panic. If I fail, I would be happy and back to see Aya and Julia. I think they're going to cry in the backstage. I'm so worry about them. January and I are holding the hands together. 

"The last...The girl who must be taking down is... January Zone! Scores of 3872!" she declares. January hug me and give me a big smile.

I get stuck for a moment. I hear the crowd is cheering for me again. They throw the roses to me.

Mrs. Paris declares again, "The winner of The Next's Elite competition year of 2012 is Rachel Haward! Your scores of 4002..." she said. "Congratulation!" I can't say anything.

I don't believe I can reach it.

Mrs. Audrina, Ms. Alyson, and other judges are smiling and clapping hands for me.

Miss. Cameron hugs me. She's holding a golden pin in her hands and pin it to my left chest. 

"Congratulation, Rachel! I believe in you. This pin is show how value you are. And now you're Our Next's Elite! Congratulation!" she smiles and hugs me and kiss my cheek again. 

"Th...Thank...you..." I stuttered. I don't know how to say. My tear is dropping down.

I feel my mom is crying too.

I completed her mind.

I completed everything.  

And now...The gold pin is on my chest...

I am The Next's Elite...
