This story is based off Kiera Cass' book series, The selection! I DO NOT own the Selection or any of its characters. All rights belong to Kiera Cass! And here it is!!

"Would you knock it off!" I scream at my 12 year old brother Erik, who spends more time trying to annoy me then doing what he's told.

"What do you mean?", Erik pouts at me, "your the one who can't take a hit! Like we're playing football! Geeze!"

"I get that... but were on the same team!" I scream in frustration while storming back into the house. "Come on Anna, lets just go back inside and let the little ones play outside by themselves".

I can hear Anna running on the grass so she can catch up with me and hear several shouts from my brother about how grown up he is. As I hear Erik and Anna's little brother Casey, reach their maximum screaming point I slam the front door shut only to find an even louder one inside.

Anna and I both jump and turn our heads in the direction of my kitchen, where my mom stands with her eyes wide and an enormous smile on her face.

"I think my ear drums would have been safer if we stayed outside", Anna whispers to me while rubbing her ears. We both laugh and I punch her playfully in return before walking into the kitchen.

"What was that all about?" I ask my mom cautiously, for right now she looks like she might explode if I get to close. She quickly turns to face me and runs right towards me.

"You got one!" She squeals.

"I got one what?"

"You got a letter to be apart of the Selection! I didn't even realize that the Prince had turned 18 and that you are 18 as well! Oh, This is perfect!" my mom screams while pulling me into a hug.

"uhhh... why is this perfect?" I ask slowly.

"Because you got a letter!" She replies.

"Ya mom, so did EVERY other girl in ALL of Illea between the ages of 16 and 20. For example... once Anna goes home she's going to find the exact same letter, with the exact same words, and the..."

"Oh hush! just come over here and fill it out!"

"Fill what out?"

"The form of course!"

"Wait a second... you actually think I'm taking part in that silly little contest?"

My mom scowls at me. "I think you are a daughter in my house hold..."

"I'm aware"

"and anyone eligible to be chosen for the selection should enter their name!"

"It's not mandatory, And I'm not even gonna get chosen!" I wine.

"Then you have nothing to worry about" she smirks at me.

I open my mouth to say something but then close it. She got me there.

"I think Anna should have to do it too!" I say. Anna turns and glares at me.

"What a wonderful idea. Tomorrow we'll all go sign up together! Anna, tell your mom we can meet at my place." My mom announces.

"Will do Mrs. Lively", Anna says while wearing her fakest smile. She then turns to me and whispers "I'm gonna kill you" on her way out the door while I try to keep a straight face. Then I make my way over to the kitchen table and reluctantly begin to fill out the form.
