His Selection// A jelena fanfiction

Chapter 1

Selena's POV

My name is Selena Marie Gomez, I'm 16 years old and I'm a 5. You see in the Kingdom of Ilia, we have a caste system. The Ones are the royal family, The Twos are the celebrities, The Threes are the models, The Fours are middle-class workers, The Fives are singers and artists, The Sixes are lower class workers, The Sevens and Eights are the poor.

I have 3 siblings Jason, my older brother, Gracie my younger sister and Marielle my youngest sister. My father is a musician and he basically works all day since my mother isn't able to work. You might wonder why my mother can't work, well that's because she had been diagnosed with derulia about a year ago. Derulia is a deadly disease but it isn't contagious, it affects your brain and your spine. There has recently been a cure for it but its really expensive and my family cannot afford it. The disease has been around since Work War III has ended. No one knows how it gets into your system but its one of the scariest diseases out in the world. There are free vaccines provided for children and teenagers in the castes 2,3,4, and 5. My brother and sisters have all gotten the vaccine but the vaccine doesn't work on adults I don't know why but I guess they're trying to figure it out.

"Sel-Selena come-e h-here p-p-please" my mother said
"Are you feeling okay Mama?"
"I'm fine sweetheart but I really want you to try out for The Selection. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Its not like there's a prince that needs to find a future queen every year my darling. You have a special opportunity, this only happens once in 30 years."
"I guess you're right, Mama. I'll think about it."
"That more like it honey, now can you  bring me some hot tea with lemon?"                                            "Anything for you Mama"

The Selection only happens when the prince of Ilia turns 19 and is going to inherit the throne. All the girls from ages 16-18 can audition for a spot in The Selection. Then the prince himself would pick his top 35 girls. He would announce the list himself on TV. Then a week later the 35 girls will be sent to the palace. There isn't a specific time period. The Selection can last for months or even years. The prince can kick you out at any time. 

"Mama" I say"Yes sweetie""I think I've made my mind up."
