Important A/N at the end! I need advice!

Carmon's P.O.V.

This place sucks, royally sucks. There is absolutely nothing to do. After that dumb tour thing it was brought to my attention that I would have to do all the cleaning. Like everyone's laundry, dishes, vacuuming. While I do enjoy cleaning I like something in return. Whenever I would clean the girls would feel bad and buy me a book off my 'book wish list'. There are no books in this place, absolutely none. All the guys here don't even care that we're all miserable. Maybe they just don't know how to make us happy yet.

I just need to keep up my grumpy act and they will leave me alone, I don't need to deal with one of them crushing on me, then they for sure won't let me go. I know that may seem bad saying I think they will crush on me but I've read the books and I know how these type of situations end. The geeky girl ends up being with the badboy because she's too weak to fight for herself, that isn't going to happen to me.

Everyone thinks being smart means I cant get friends, I can easily get friends, I just don't want any. They are way too stressful and take up all my time. I know there are a lot of benefits to having friends but I have books. They take me to another setting, another dimension. My love for books is stronger then my love for drawing, and lets just say that I have a wall full of drawings. I have even designed a tattoo for someone. I am more of a creative person than a smart person. Anything lower than a B though and I almost pull my hair out.

Later I will explore through the guys' rooms, maybe there will be books somewhere in there.

Skylar's P.O.V.

All of the guys said that after supper we have to get ready for bed and sleep. Apparently it's supposed to be really busy tomorrow. We had some sort of pasta stuff, it wasn't the best but I can tell they didn't have much to use, I could taste the roman noodles as plain as day. That's what I used to survive on at college.

After we cleared the table we headed upstairs. We decided we would try to make Carmon's job as easy as possible, she seemed grateful but kept up her grumpy act. Once at the top of the stairs I realized I wasn't even tired, it must have only been eight or something.

"I call shower first!" I screamed running to the bathroom giggling. May as well try too have fun while we're still in this beautiful house. I still haven't forgotten my plan of escaping, I just need to rethink it since there are four of us. Cassidy ran after me behind me.

"Hey no fair!" she yelled almost catching up to me.

I absolutely hate being chased, it's weird but it's one of my fears, every time I get chased, even if I trust the person, I freeze up and scream my lungs out. This time was different though. I actually ran faster. The screaming part was still there though. I heard Cassidy giggle at my fear. I would too if it was anyone else but at the time I was mad.

At the bathroom I opened the door and slammed it shut behind me, I leaned against the door trying to control my breathing, I didn't think the hall was that long.

I grabbed a towel and turned the water on really hot. I like it extra hot so it relaxes my muscles, I have back problems and I usually go to the chiropractor every other week.

Once finished with my shower I dried my soaking wet hair a little bit and put it in a bun. I hate brushing my hair when it's wet so I just put it up till it dries.

Once I left I went in Rylie and I's room. I was changing and I heard the bathroom door slam shut knowing someone was racing there again. I giggled and finished getting dressed.

Rylie's P.O.V.

I hate this place, I miss my dad, I miss Cassidy. I know she's here with me but this isn't her. She is always panicking, scared, and worried. We are alike in this way. Just not in to same way. She feels that way towards me and I feel that way towards everything. I don't like being in situations I cant control. I want to be able to leave, or be able to do what I want, or talk when I want. I never feel that way though because I don't want to get anyone in trouble.

When we were young I once said every wrong thing Cassidy did to dad while he was drunk. He hurt her badly, it was all my fault, I shouldn't have said anything. She got put in the hospital because of me and that is why I need to keep my mouth shut. So no one gets hurt because of me ever again.

Carmon P.O.V.

When we all went upstairs to go to sleep I noticed the guys stayed downstairs and turn on the huge T.V. This is the perfect time to look in there rooms for some books. I went into the first room and noticed nothing but dirty clothes everywhere... I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

I kept looking in Quinn's room trying to avoid the clothes everywhere. I then looked in his nightstand and found nothing but a gun and some papers. I was thinking about taking the gun but I knew I wouldn't actually have the courage to shoot any of them. I went to his closet and also saw nothing in there, literally, all his clothes were on the floor so what else was there to suspect. It was full of weapons though, like some of them I didn't even know what they were, they were scary though. I decided this was enough of Quinn's personality I wanted to see.

Next room then I guess, I opened the door to Damon's rooms as quietly as possible. What I saw I couldn't believe, and no, I didn't see books. I saw everything sparkling, everything was so clean it literally shined. I walked to his nightstand looking inside. There wasn't anything to read but there was a lot of gum. I actually wanted to take a pack but I decided against it. I don't think he would notice though, there is literally like 8 packs in there.

I went to his closet and looked through his clothes seeing if there were any shelves behind them. I saw nothing. I was about to leave when I heard something. Probably the worst sound possible at the time. I heard someone clear their throat from behind me. I slowly turned around to see an angry yet amused Damon.

"What are you looking for," he asked crossing his arms.

"Uhhh, books," I said blushing. I don't know why I would blush but being caught in his closet is quite embarrassing.

He looked like he was thinking for a couple second and smiled at me uncrossing his arms, "You weren't looking hard enough."

He walked past me into the closet, "Come here so I can show you something," he said.

I didn't trust him but I walked over anyway, he pointed to a lever in the corner of the closet. He pulled down the lever and the whole wall slid behind itself. A secret room, interesting, he held his arm out motioning for me to go in. What was inside was the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my entire life...

*******************************************************************************

What do you guys think is in the secret room????

I love this book so far I just don't know a good cover and title that would go good with it. Skylar is the main character but I want to include the other girls also. Any Suggestions?

Vote and Comment!! ;p


"The Selection"

I haven't read the whole series but the first one was amazing! I just got the second one as a gift, I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm probably going to read that after I finish "City of Heavenly Fire"
