If You Give A Girl A Crown

Chapter 2

At the post there had to be more then 100 girls all waiting to get their pictures taken.

"We'll melt in the sun before we get our pictures taken!" Joked Autumn trying to keep the mood up before the heat got to us. I gave a little chuckle as I took a look at the other girls in line. Looking around I saw too much makeup on one girl, almost like she kissed a clown, another girl had on a cocktail dress like it was some sort of fancy dinner party she was going to. I was going to point that girl out to Autumn who would get a real kick out of it when three figures started moving towards Autumn and I.

"Hello girls, how nice to see you." I looked up at the tall man with salt and pepper hair looking down at me.

"Hello Darin! Is Maddie and Jaime both entering?" Autumn asked our mothers friend kindly.

"We will be entering and were really excited for it!" Maddie answered enthusiastically.

"I really hope I make it! I hear the palace is gorgeous and I also hear the prince is too." Jaime said mischievously. That made everyone laugh. When it was my turn I smiled my prettiest and the man snapped the picture.

.o0o.

Around a week later the report was on. As my family and I waited Austin and I played a bit of pass to ease the tension. Minutes later mom called us in for the report when we settled the screen came to life to show us an image of Queen America, King Maxon, Princess Amberly, Prince Mason and little princess Leslie settled beside Tallen Fadaye. I didn't pay too much attention as the updates on the country were being stated but I started to pay attention when Tallen started to interview a rigid looking Mason.

"So Mason what are you feeling towards the selection?" Tallen flashed his shows stopping smile.

"Well I'm a bundle of nerves but I'm also beyond excited. Just think one of these 35 young ladies will be my wife." Mason looked almost like he was sweating...almost.

"So shall we get to the thing we've been waiting for?" Tallen said in an overexcited tone.

"So there is Lady Molly Heather," a beautiful face flashed on the screen," Lady Grace Simon, Lady Laura Wild," I took a handful of popcorn and put it in my mouth to chew,"Lady Nicole Redy...," I choked on my popcorn as my picture flew across the screen. All I heard was screaming while the same two things ran through my mind. I made it...I'm part of the selection...
