The Selection Fanfiction (Editing)

Morning came faster than I expected.

Laia drew back the heavy curtains and sunshine seemed to explode around the room. The light bounced off the windows and mirrors, illuminating the entire room like a chandelier. It was beautiful.

Unfortunately the stress and anger was eating me out alive, not leaving me to enjoy any peace that I so desperately need. Last night I hadn't sleep at all, I kept thinking about the princes and our conversation last night. It seemed so easy to talk to them, after I was done being angry. The only problem is that I don't know if it's just an act, so until I know for sure, walls are going to surround me and my guard will be up. Trinity won't be getting hurt by one stupid boy.

" Something on your mind? " Crystal asked me carefully. I wasn't trying to hide my worry and confusion around them, it won't matter anyways, since in a couple of hours I'll be on a plane to Waverly. Which is what I wanted, but not for Trinity.

" Just thinking I guess " I replied flustered and she nodded, not pressing me for anymore answers, which I thanked her silently for. I got up from the massive bed and walked to the bathroom, suspecting that they had drawn me a bath, which they had.

There was no way around it though, my maids were dressing me and undressing me until I leave. I felt uncomfortable when I was naked around them, but they kept on a brave face. I guess they didn't think it was a big deal, but for me, it was huge. The only person that has seen me naked was my mother when I was a child. That's it. And it's not that I'm ashamed about my body - although I would change some things - it's just I don't like intimacy. It just feels uncomfortable.

They dressed me in a dark purple dress, with lace details all over, which was breathtaking to say the least. My hair was curled, and my makeup was light. And once again, when I looked into the mirror, I saw another version of myself. A sophisticated side I guess. I felt very intricate. Like there was more to me than being a seven, which was technically a lie since I'm now a three.

" Perfect " Indigo said and all three girls nodded in agreement. I gave them a forced smile, trying to seem happy.

" Thank you girls, I'll be back soon " I said and they bowed and waved goodbye as I opened the door to the hallway and left the room. I kept my lips pressed into a thin line, I wanted to seem okay.

And although I should feel grateful, and happy that I at least got to see the castle and sort of met the princes, I feel angry. I'm being judged and not validated because of a damn number that will follow me around for the rest of my life, despite if its now changed.

Letting a breath escape from my mouth, I leaned against my door. I wasn't okay. Not by a long shot.

I stood at the top of the stairwell slouched, waiting for the rest of the girls to come down. So far it's only me, Silvia and Natalie. Who was wearing a pretty green dress that outlined her figure perfectly.

Silvia was pacing back and forth, checking the clock every five minutes before writing something down on her clip board. It wasn't until ten minutes when a hoard of heels clacking filled the empty silence. A bunch of girls walked towards us, all looking beautiful. Trinity raced towards me.

" You look amazing " She breathed and hugged me, I hugged her back instantly.

" Thanks, you look better though " I said playfully. She was wearing a white ruffled dress, her hair tied up in a bun. Her eyes were smiling and she had a small smile on her face. Her aura seemed full of innocence and prosperity.

" I wish " She joked back and we both giggled, which made Silvia scold us about manners.

I may or may not have blocked her out.
