Chapter 1
After all the excitement of me being granted a second chance to stay, my maids got me ready for bed.
Once they left I sank into my comfortable bed. My mind was blank for once and I drifted to sleep without hesitation. I awoke to my maids entering my room.
“Come on, miss. Time to get up.” Mary said lightly. She gently pulled the covers from my body. I groaned from the cool air suddenly hitting my bare legs.
“No!” I groaned to them, but got up anyway.
Anne opened the day dress bag and revealed a beautiful silver dress with sparkles making it look like tiny stars cluttered together. It also had a light blue sash around the waist. I gasped at the beautiful dress.
“Do you like it, miss?” Lucy asked meekly.
“Oh, absolutely! You all have over done yourselves again! I swear the dresses are more beautiful every time!” I said honestly. They all seemed to glow at my words.
The dress was full length because we had a special Report today. With my matching heels it just barely touched the floor. My Mary did a smoker look on my eyes but kept everything else looking natural. Anne twisted my hair beautifully; half tucked under itself the other half curled into loose spirals.
When they were done I looked to the mirror and what I saw took my breath away. I looked nothing like myself, but I was strikingly beautiful.

After having breakfast in my room, I figured Celeste, Kriss, and Elise headed to the Women’s Room so I snuck off to the gardens. I had an hour until I had to officially be in the Women’s Room for final preparation. I needed some room to breathe.
I sat down at Maxon and I’s bench and closed my eyes taking in a deep breath.
“Hello, Lady America. May I join you?” A deep voice that belonged to Maxon asked. I opened my eyes and there he was in all his glory. I ran into his arms.
“Maxon! Of course!” I said unable to hide my smile. We sat down opposite of each other on the bench.
“You should really be in the Women’s Room getting ready America.” Maxon scolded.
“I couldn’t breathe. The girls are getting feisty and callus fighting for the crown. I just needed to escape for a while. And I should be telling you to do the same thing.” I said to Maxon.
“What? Get ready in the Women’s Room? Sure let’s go!” He said sarcastically getting up. I got up with him and smiled as he took my hands.
“No, no” I laughed.
“America, let us not be late.” Maxon said sweetly.
I looked at him from under my lashes and asked with my eyes. He leaned down and kissed me ever so gently, like only he could.
“You’re gorgeous by the way.” Maxon whispered in my ear as he broke apart.
