River's POV:
"Smile!" The camera flashed, signaling that my picture had been taken. "Alright miss River, right this way." The camera man pointed me in the right direction to my seat.
I sat down next to Esme. Her eyes sparkling and spaced out.
She was daydreaming again.
She smiled when she noticed me. I looked around the room. All of the girls' chairs where set up around the giant interview room. Each of them identical to the last.
Ansleigh was the first born of us. There were 50 girls born into the project. After over 14 years, 36 of the girls were expired due to some imperfect quality.
Valery had a problem pronouncing certain words, FAILED. Tera had a birthmark on her left thigh, FAILED. And so on. Our goal was to succeed at everything.
"She will probably have a proposal by the end of the week considering it is mating season." Esme said.
Oh! I completely forgot that was this year. We all finally had come of age to be betrothed out of the project. When the girls in the project reach age 17, we have one month to get a proposal.
The order of best to last in our unit was strange; Ansleigh, Me, Esme, Annabelle, Star, Mazy, and Francene. There was about 5 units. Each unit had divided portions of the 24 girls who passed.
"River." The instructor called for me. My turn to take the final marriage test. If I do not receive my proposal by next month, I will be considered expired.
This project was created years ago. Originally taking the most beautiful women and producing more and more perfect babies. The project evolved and is what it is today.
I have always been excited to get married. Imagining my wedding day and life after that.
The marriage test was not anything difficult. It was more of an interview about my talents and interests.
Any proposals would be looked at tomorrow and my goodness I hoped he was good looking.
