The Chosen

3

I'm shaken awake by a person I've never seen before. She's tall with what looks like thick, curly brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. She's also wearing a cute black dress with a white sewn-in apron, like a maid's outfit. Behind her are two other girls in the same outfit, one with her red hair in a bun, and the other with a blonde bob.

"Wake up miss!" says the one closest to me - the one with the brown hair. 

"Who are you?" I ask.

"We're your maids! I'm Alexis! The girl with the bun is Kristen and the girl with the bob is Elizabeth."

"Hi!" said Kristen.

"Hello." said Elizabeth.

"I have maids? Sweet!!"

"Yes, you do. But we can't talk about it now, we have to get you ready for breakfast!" said Elizabeth.

"Yes!" replied Kristen, perking up " It's your first interaction with both the prince and the other contestants!!!"

"And it's at 9:30!! That's only and hour and a half from now!!!!" gasped Alexis.

"What's wrong with that?" I asked.

"We have to make you look presentable to the prince! This is a competition you know!" replied Kristen.

"I like you guys!" I say.

This'll be fun, I thought, seriously excited.

After about an hour and a half later, I'm dressed up nicely, and starving, and waiting at the door of my room, waiting for someone to take me downstairs. Once we were done getting ready, Kristen, Alexis, and Elizabeth stepped back and admired their work. After their done, I glance in the mirror. I'm wearing a short purple party dress with a light purple petticoat a little bit longer than the actual dress. I'm wearing my long, brown hair in a half up, half down hair-do. They paired the dress with some black boots and black mascara and eyeliner. Kristen insisted that we didn't do that much makeup because according to her, I'm 'naturally beautiful'.

A knock at my door sends me back out of the thinking state I was in, and brings me to reality. I get up to open the door, and right outside it, is Neveni.

"Oh, Hi!" I say and give him a big hug. "It's nice to see someone I know!"

"It's good to see you, but don't hug me, it's unprofessional. Also, you know if you look to involved with someone, you will be in big trouble, maybe even kicked out."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know that, the king didn't tell me that."

"It's fine! We can still be friends."

"Deal!"

We walk to the foyer before the stairwell, and are joined by a bunch of girls, who are in the competition. I'm not the last one to arrive though. Surprisingly enough, the girls know who I am, even though this is everyone's first interaction.

Suddenly a girl with bright blonde hair comes up to me.

"Hi! I'm Lindsey! What's your name? Want to be friends?"

"I'll leave you here, bye Foster!" Neveni tells me.

"Woh, you're friends with a guard? Cool! So your name's Foster? That's a great name! Were you the girl who had to spend the night in the cell because you didn't show up?"

"Yep, that was me," I say and hang my head down. "I guess I'll always be THAT girl. Anyway, how are the girls? Are any of them mean?"

"I don't know, we're all just meeting today!"

"Oh."

We talk about our families for a while, then are lead downstairs. Apparently one of the girls, Rhyliegh, took to long getting ready, and was late. I caught a glance at her when she came in. She looked as if she was trying to get the prince to like her, but was obviously trying too hard.

I walk with Linsey and we talk until Rhyliegh comes up to me.

"So," she says eyeing me up and down while judging me hardcore. "you're the girl who showed up late. I'm just warning you not to mess with me. You have all the attention right now, but believe me when I say, I'm going to win, and if you do, I will come get you!" 

She shoves me, then walks away.

"Well....that was interesting," says Lindsey "remind me not to mess with her!"

Hey guys!!!I know I haven't written in a while, I've had writers block, but the suddenness of people finding out I have a book, made me loose my writers block! Sorry, I'm so weird. I'm going to leave now, but not without mentioning that you guys should go follow Queen-of-Quotes, because she's great! Ok, bye!!
