Grace PoV
I stood in front of the mirror, I looked pretty. Alex came over extra early and he dressed me up. Mom gasped when she saw me, her eyes started to tear up."Are you crying?" I asked her confused and she took my hands.
"You just are so beautiful and I want you to win, you'll live a good life and be happy." She told me and Alex also started to cry.
"This is so beautiful!" He cried.
"Mom it's not like I'm gonna win. I'm gonna lose and I'll win the scholar ship, I become a archeologist and I found something new and ill give you all my money!" I told her and she hugged me.
"You don't know how beautiful you truly are." She mumbled and left for work. I looked on last time in the mirror
We entered school and guys looked interested in me. In me! "Why are they staring?" I whisper-asked Alex, who smirked. "You look damn fine, gurl!" He told me and dragged me to my locker, it took my Greek and we went to class. Hanna looked shocked when she saw me. "How?" She asked and her jaw dropped. "What?" I asked and she glared at me. "Since when are you interested in being queen?" She spatted. "I'm not." I told her and she rolled her eyes. "You look less ugly." She said and I rolled my eyes. "Scared?" Alex asked her and she glared harder. "Of what?" She snapped. "Of Grace, you idiot!" He snapped back. "Why should u be jealous on her? She doesn't have a dad and her mother is a waitress. Her family exists of failures!" She said and I looked down. "You bitch!" Alex snapped at her. Mr. Grey came inside and looked shocked when he saw me. "You really are going for it." He told me. "No, Alex forced me." I explained and he nodded. This was a normal thing.
It was lunch and Rebecca came over with Hanna, who was pointing at me. "What did you do? Are you trying to win this thing?" Rebecca asked me amused. "No." I told her, she raised her eyebrows. "Why do you look less ugly then?" She snapped. "I did it okay! Just go make yourself more faker." Alex exclaimed, she glared at him. "Shut up, faggot! Didn't you gay dads raised you better?!" She snapped, Alex was about to protest. But the teachers started to collect all the girls. Hanna and Rebecca squealed and run to the gym. Mr. Grey came to get me, Alex followed. The first thing was a photo. Girls were doing their hair and makeup, fix their boobs and let them come out. It was my turn. "Smile, sweetheart!" The photographer said, I forced a smile. "Don't fake it, you're beautiful!" He told me and I blushed. "Let me help!" Alex said and whispered something in my ear. One of his big fails. We were at the mall and a cute guy waved at him. Alex walked into a door. I laughed and the photographer took a picture. "Beautiful!" He told me and Alex dragged me to the screen. I looked really good. My eyes were blinking and you could really see how the colours change and my hair laid good. Hanna was glaring at me. On her photo her lipstick is wrong. Rebecca looked perfect. The next thing was an interview with a really nice lady. "So tell me something about you, darling!" She told me and smiled her perfect teeth. "I'm Grace Hall, 17 years old. My hobbies are art and volleyball. I don't have any siblings. I live with my mom, she's a waitress. I study hard to get a scholar ship for best student, I wanna go to Yale and study archeology." I said and she smiled. "Your grades?" She asked. "Straight A student." I told her and she nodded. "Parents?" She asked ad I shifted uncomfortably. "Their names." She said. "I only have my mom, Fiona Hall." I told her and she squeezed my hand. "Why do you wanna be the new queen of America?" She asked and I thought for a minute. Alex told me if I was one of the 35 I could get money, it would help my mom. I was gonna give the perfect answer. "I wanna help making America more beautiful! As queen I can do a lot of things to help the civics! And I hope to find love, to find a steady relationship! A new partner, a husband and a friend!" I said and she nodded impressed. She stood up and lead me to the medical square. Three women came over and took my sizes. "Girl, I love your body!" One said and they other nodded in agreement. They took my weight and then did eye and ear tests. "Which colour?" They wondered as they looked at my eye. They had to call three other people. "My mom says kadeleiscope, because the colours always change." I said and the clapped. "Of course!" They cheered and wrote it down. The interview lady came over. "This is maybe a really personal question, but we have to know. We need to inform the prince on how far he can take it." She said and I frowned. "Are you a virgin?" She asked and my jaw dropped. This is mad, really mad! "Yes, of course!" I told her and she smiled. "Good, I heard they like the virgin ones!" She told me and I forced a smile.
"Did she really asked that?" Alex asked laughing, when I told him about it. I nodded shyly. "Well Rebecca clearly isn't one anymore!" He said and I nodded in agreement. We were walking to house. We entered and his dad's were home, they were cooking. "Grace! Darling!" Mark, one of his dad's exclaimed. He run over and gave me a bone crushing hug. "She looks hot!" Drake said, his other dad. "Today was the audition, I forced her." Alex admitted and Drake kissed his cheek. "Good boy!" He told Alex. "You staying for dinner?" Mark asked me. "Call your mother over!" Drake said and I did. My mom, Nark, Drake and back then my dad were best friends. My mom arrived and they all asked me and I told them. "They like virgin girls?" Mom asked confused. "They want to be the one who gets it first, it's a real honour!" Drake said and we looked at him. "My older brother." He explained and I nodded. "Uncle Ryan told me he took it from 8 girls." Alex said and I grimaced. "I took it from your mother." Mark said and mom laughed. "I thought dad did it!" I told her. "Mark wanted to know for sure if he was gay. It felt good with me, but he didn't felt it." Mom told me and I looked at Mark, who grimaced. "I love you Fio, but I like it better with guys." He said snd we laughed. I was gonna do it for the money, not for love...
