Vilu's pov

*I saw Camila's smile fading away because of Ludmila's remark.*

V: Ludmila, you don't have to be rude.

Lu: Rude? Is being truthful considered rude to you?

V: Look, if you don't like any of us, just ignore us. It's our first day here, I don't want to fight.

*I repeated what León said to me. Ludmila and Gery just turned back to the mirrors and Cami hugged me*

C: Thank you!

V: You're welcome. I hate this kid of behaviour she just showed.

...

*The news start in ten minutes. Me, Fran and Camila came to the auditorium, seeing a lot of people walking around like crazy. The place was so noisy, people were checking the cameras, the lights and adjusting the chairs. There were eight chairs in a row, probably for us, then king's and queen's thrones and a chair for León*

F: Wow...

??: Hello girls! I think you know who I am but just in case, my name is Broadway and I am the moderator of this competition

F: Hello

B: The news start soon, please sit on your seat and be quiet when the bell rings

*We sat next to each other and the other girls came too. Of course, Ludmila and Gery sat in the middle so they were right in front of the camera. Then Angie ran to us and clapped her hands to get our attention*

A: So, this is your first day on the news, don't mess up and smile! I will be right there in case something happens. Good luck!

*She left and the cameraman shouted*

Cameraman: IN THREE, TWO, ONE...

*The bell rang so we became quiet. I heard our anthem playing and then Broadway introducing himself. He became serious and reported all the news he had about the war and the economics. This put the mood down by a lot. How am I supposed to look happy and fancy when I just heard all this...*

B: It's an honour for me to introduce you the royal family

*The king walked in the room with the queen behind him. León came too and they sat in their places.*

B: Yesterday, the eight chosen girls arrived at the palace. Let me show you every single of them!

*The camera turned to us and I froze. They won't make us... interact with the audience, right?*
