Caspian Ponsonby was a prize. Grace Sinclair thought otherwise.
.

Grace Sinclair has had anything but an exciting life, so when the Selection of America Schreave's grandson, Caspian, occurs, she can't pass up the opportunity to have a more exciting existence. She isn't in it for the crown, or the prince, she's in it for experience. And that interests Caspian, who was always one to chase what he can't have

""Uh, your majesty. I'm sorry, I forgot that part. I'm a bit, well, awkward when it comes to new people and I need to get used to you before I can actually hold a decent conversation and-"
"You talk quite a bit, Grace Sinclair. I'm Caspian, but I'm sure you knew that. And you are by far the most beautiful girl that has come up here today." I took one look at his eyes and could tell he was lying. I could tell by just looking around the room. There were plenty more beautiful in the room.
"Do you use that line on every girl?" This resulted in me getting an eyebrow raise from Caspian. He smirked at me before nodding his head.
"Yes, I use it on many girls. Do you use that awkward spiel on every boy?"
"My 'awkward spiel?' I just... why would I ever use that to get a boy?"
"I found it quite adorable.""

I rounded the corner to the hall, only to smack into something. "I'm so sorry," I apologized, reaching down to pick up a book that had fallen. My heart skipped a beat as I looked up, making eye contact with a pair of hazel eyes. "No worries," the boy replied, his voice rich and smooth, "Are you alright?" I nodded quickly, flashing a smile. I was too stunned to respond. Standing in front of me was none other than Prince Everest Dresden Macallister. "Who are you?" he asked, tilting his head curiously. "I'm Aspen," I replied, trying hard not to look away from his curious stare. "Dresden," he said, holding out his hand. I assumed he was going to shake mine, but instead he brought it to his lips, pressing a kiss against it. My breath caught in my throat, my cheeks burning. "Nice to meet you," I managed to say without stuttering. "My apologies, but I have to hurry. Miss Elizabeth has asked me to retrieve something." He nodded, stepping aside as I hurried into the room. I stood there, taking a deep breath to calm myself. Once I was done, I spotted the prince sitting by the window, the book that I'd picked up in his hand. I ducked my head and made a beeline to the door. "Aspen," he called, making me freeze. "Yes?" "Will you be attending the Charity Gala?" ------------------- Aspen's only purpose living in London was to finish her semester abroad. Or so she thought.

And time doesn't slow for anyone, Royal or not.Complete
Labeled (A The Selection Fanfiction)
The Selection Fan Fiction "I, Clarissa Dossen, will never be free from the cage of other people's choices." Clarissa Dossen is a 17 year old girl sent to The Fraussen Prestige Institute, a boarding school for the rich and famous kids of Sarroine. Her mom has devoted herself to a lifestyle of the utmost leisure and fame; Clarissa's dad, however, is down to earth and kind. In her young country, Sarroine, everyone is labeled. The Prestige are rich and famous, with the Royalty slightly above. The Elite have the wealth of a prestige, but not the fame, and the Modest barely make ends meet. But greatly looked down upon are the Unlabeled. They are such a disgrace to the country that they are ignored. Clarissa believes that these boundaries shouldn't be in place, and when put in a powerful position, she struggles between loyalty to her family and loyalty to her beliefs. What happens when Clarissa realizes she has been selected for a competition she doesn't want to be in? Will she ever want to be a contender in The Selection? Will Prince Alexander win her heart? Labeled follows Clarissa through a tumultuous and romantic journey of self-discovery and development with all the beauty and pomp of the original Selection. Her world is called Sarrione, which is what King Maxon and Queen America re-named the country after dismantling the caste system which their son hastily put back into place through the Labels. They are the current Prince's grandparents. *the idea of the Selection, inspiration for the plot, and the characters of Queen America and King Maxon are not original, all credit goes to Kiera Cass.

Truly Selected (Book One of The Next Selection Series)
~ 'Matthew slid closer to me so our bodies were pressed up against each other in a not to intimate way. "I hope I cross your mind every once in a while," Matthew said in an almost whisper. "Just so I don't feel so pathetic for thinking of you all the time." I felt my heart beat at a rapid pace as he said those words to me. Nothing like that had ever been said to me before, and that was all it took for me to reach up to Matthew and connect my lips with his.' ~ Twenty-one years ago, America Singer entered the Selection with no intention of claiming Prince Maxon's heart for herself Now, another Selection is about to surface, and Illéa is more excited than ever. Not only did Maxon and America provide an heir, but twin sons. Sol Soble, a Four from Kent, wanted nothing to do with the Selection. Her life was no fantasy with magic sugar castles and money growing on trees, but she loved Kent and certain things in it; and for that, the Selection wasn't in her best interest. But after a sudden tragedy, Sol's world is rocked to its core and she is doing things she never thought she would do; entering the Selection, going to the Palace, and maybe, even starting to fall in love. It's only common knowledge that when people don't learn from history, it's often doomed to repeat itself. --------------------- DISCLAIMER: All rights go to Kiera CassComplete

The Gallagher Selection; A Zammie Fanfic
Crossover // Gallagher Girls x The Selection I didn't want to be part of The Selection. I wasn't ready to, as I was just recently dumped by my boyfriend of a couple months. Anyways, it's not like arrogant and shallow Prince Zachary Goode would choose me to be his Queen. Or would he? Even though I am a Keadlyn shipper, Eadlyn and Erik/Eikko are kind of Zach's great grandparents, in a way that is (kind of) explained in the story. Also, Catherine and Edward Townsend actually get along in this story. Told mostly in the perspective of Cameron "Cammie" Ann Morgan and Zachary "Zach" Goode. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE GALLAGHER GIRLS SERIES. Sorry for my lack of writing skills, this is my first fan fiction/wattpad book and I'm pretty bad at writing. Disclaimer: Characters belong to Ally Carter, and the plot to Kiera Cass. Started: August 27, 2017 Finished: March 14, 2018Complete
