the royal selection

Part 5 todays the day!

*skip two days so today she is going to the palace* (Archie has just admitted he had been cheating on her with another 6 named Veronica and lili is devastated)

Lili's POV
I woke up in a rush. Today's the day. Today's the day I leave my family. Today's the day I enter the dollhouse. Today's the day my nightmare becomes a reality. I am eating breakfast right now dressed in the clothes they gave me to wear. It was plain, just a white shirt and a black skirt, with black flats. All the girls had to wear this so I wasn't that uncomfortable, but still a little out of my comfort zone.

"lili let's go it's time" my mother said as the palace guard grabbed my small backpack. I wasn't aloud to bring any clothes or furniture to the palace, just like picture frames, and notebooks, and like a memory. I heard some girls are even bringing their "blankey" from when they were a baby. Weird!

Anyways as I stepped out of my house I saw a huge crowd in the town square. With so many cameras and cheering people. Wow all of them for me? I made my way through the crowd as I saw stepped up to the little platform where the mayor was waiting for me.

"she has arrived!" He said in excitement. Then the crowd just got louder "any words of wisdom for your fellow fans?" He said in joy. Fans? I almost laughed. Why would they be fans of me! I just brushed it off as I took the microphone from the mayor. Wow this is so weird never did I think I would be holding THE microphone. This was only used for huge announcements, or new laws for the village. Rarely.

"Hi everyone" I said nervously as the crowd quieted down "I just wanted to say, thank you for even being here! It means a lot that there is even one person besides my family that is rooting for me." I said as I saw a few people smile. "I guess as of words of wisdom, don't be afraid to try new things. You only live once so live everyday as if it's your last" I said as the my village cheered.

I then went over to say goodbyes to my family not being able to hold in my tears. "I'll miss you so much lili!" Tess said a few tears slipping from her eyes as I hugged her last. "Don't worry, I won't be there long, Ill probably even be back by tomorrow" I said laughing before the guard reminded me we had to leave. I was looking around the crowd just getting a last glimpse of my life, before I saw Archie. He was kissing another girl. Which I think was Veronica. And before anyone could see the look of heartbreak on my face. I quickly got in the car.

I can't believe he moved on that quickly. Why wasn't I good enough for him! I was supposed to marry him after I got out of the selection! I was even gonna tell him I loved him! Why did I even enter this shit show in the first place! It felt like hours of driving before we got to the airport. Once I got inside there was another huge crowd. And also five other girls there.

I immediately recognized them, as I had done my research on who was picked. Madison from Orange Village who had beautiful brown hair and blue eyes. Emma from Los angels who had blonde hair with blue almost grey eyes. Madelaine from stitchville who was a redhead with brown eyes. Racheal Diaz from little lights who also had black hair with green eyes, and then there was a girl named emery church, who had dirty blonde hair with hazel eyes.

Then there was me. How did I even stand a chance to these girls. Suddenly I was interrupted by my thoughts when I heard "Oh my gosh lili right" in front of me as I looked up I saw Emma. Wow how did she even know my name. "That's me, and your Emma" I said questioning the last part. "That's me!" She said as we giggled and shook hands.

And she led me over to the other girls. Who looked at me with either blank faces, smiles ,or a nasty disgusted look. "Guys this is lili as you know" Emma said happily as madison interrupted and said "as in one of the fives in the competition. Madison, but you can call me madi" she said smacking her gum as I shook her hand. "I am emery, nice to meet you" she said with a fake smile. "madelaine" madelaine said as she shook my hand. then we all looked at rachel. "What? Everyone knows me no need to introduce" she said with a bratty tone as she rolled her eyes.

I then just nodded before a palace guard helped us board our flight, since I was the last one there. Once we were on our flight. It was pretty empty considering we were on a private plane I was expecting it to be a little smaller than this. I sat alone in a complex and Emma and rachel sat together two seats behind me. Then emery and madi sat together in the front on the middle row. Then madelaine sat in the back by herself.

I was hoping the girls would be more welcoming considering madi was a four, emery and madelaine are threes, and rachel and Emma are twos. I was at least expecting madi to be nice, but nope! Although I am shocked at how nice Emma is to me. I mean she is pretty popular and a two!

I was interrupted by my thoughts as I over heard Emma and rachel whispering behind me "we are the only twos in this group, we have to stick together" rachel said "um ya" Emma says hesitant "that lili girl is annoying me already, she thinks the prince will fall for her" rachel said laughing at the last part. What in the hell! Why would she say that! "Oh ok, I don't think she is annoying, maybe just give her a chance from talking to her already she seems like the perfect princess" Emma then said which almost made me gasp. Why was she sticking up for me? She didn't even know me. She's a two and I'm a five! Wow! "you think" rachel said kinda annoyed. "I mean yes, she is so sweet just because she is a five doesn't mean she is any less than us" Emma then whispered back "she actually is, I mean look at her" rachel then said as I decided to stop ease dropping and go to bed until we landed.
