Hoping for Love

Chapter 1

Logan's POV

I do not own the Selection

I never expected to have a Selection.

The day started off normally. I was woken up at 6 am by my sister Belle jumping on my bed. I ate my large breakfast of pancakes and eggs with my family, and headed off to lessons with Olivia.

My siblings and I were in the middle of a lesson about planning parties when a maid entered the room.

"Excuse me, your highnesses, but King Erik and Queen Eadlyn have requested Prince Logan's presence in the King's office," the maid said shyly as she curtsied.

"Thank you," I replied, standing up slowly. "You may be dismissed." The maid curtsied again and scurried out of the room.

I thanked my lucky stars that I could miss the rest of lessons, and left the room under Olivia's annoyed face and my sibling's jealous glares. I took the long walk to my dad's office and opened the door to find my mom and dad sitting behind the desk, looking very nervous.

"Hi guys, what did you want to see me for?" I asked.

"Uh, well, as you know, the rebel activity in the country has been worse than normal, ever since the caste system has been put back into place," Mom started. The caste system had been put back into place until the monarchy could figure out a way to calm down the country and solve the problem of rebels.

I nodded, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Well, we need something to calm down the public, and we believe that something could be a Selection."

I was shocked. My mom had told me how much she didn't want to have one at first, so I never expected her to tell me I should have one.

"You're kidding right? You can't possibly want me to have a Selection!" I yelled in outrage.

"It's time for you to find a wife anyways, why not find one through the Selection?" Dad asked calmly.

"Because it's the Selection! How can you possibly expect me to find love from 35 random girls?" I asked, still angry.

"Well your mother and I found true love. Look how happy we are. And look at your grandparents, if that's not true love, I don't know what is."

Although I didn't want to admit it, my father had a good point. But I still didn't want to have a Selection. "You weren't even in the Selection," I pointed out to my father. "And Grandma and Grandpa probably just got lucky."

"I'll make the same deal with you that I made with my father," Mom cut in. "Try it for three months, and if you don't like it, we can call the Selection off."

I considered the deal. Even though I really didn't want a Selection, my parents really needed my help.

"Ok fine," I sighed. "I'll do it, but just for three months. Only because you guys need help."

"Thank you so much son," my father said thankfully as my mother hugged me.

Although I didn't like this idea, I knew I had to give it a try. "You're welcome," I got up and left the room, walking back to the lessons room as slowly as I possibly could. When I arrived, Olivia was just packing up her bag and leaving the room. I saw my siblings sigh in relief.

"Hey guys," I entered the room and sat on the arm of a couch.

"Hi Logan, what did Mom and Dad want?" My sister Savannah asked.

"They want me to have a Selection," I stated calmly. My five siblings gasped at the same time. Even Belle, who was only 8, knew that this was a surprise.

"Are you kidding?" Wyatt asked, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Unfortunately, no," I replied, running my fingers through my chocolate brown hair. "Apparently they need something to calm down the country."

"Have fun," my older sister Jessica said sarcastically.

"Thanks," I rolled my eyes at her.

"We should get going, the party is going to start in a couple hours." Savannah said.

"What party?" Wyatt and I asked simultaneously.

Savannah rolled her eyes. "How could you not remember? The Swendish are visiting the palace tonight and Mom and Dad have a party planned."

"Oh, that party," Wyatt said.

"Is Colin going to be here?" I asked. Colin was my best friend, and we have known each other since we were born.

"Of course he's going to be here, he's part of the royal family" Savannah said. We all went up to our rooms to get ready for the party.

My maids put me in another uncomfortable black suit and tie, and I walked downstairs to find Savannah walking towards the ballroom.

"Savannah! Wait up!" I cried as I sprinted towards her. I had to admit, she looked beautiful. Her long strawberry blonde hair was french braided down her back, and she wore a silver bracelet with matching earrings and a necklace. Her dress was strapless and light green, falling to the floor. The bottom of the dress was made of tulle.

"You look nice," Savannah said.

"So do you," I replied, giving her a smile.

"Thanks," she said. We entered the ballroom to find people laughing and dancing. There were a few people who were drunk already. Colorful flowers lined the ballroom. I spotted Colin and his sister Katherine by the snack bar. Savannah and I immediately headed their way.

"Hey guys," I said cheerfully, glad to get my mind off the Selection.

"Hey man," Colin responded. "Excited for the Selection?"

News really spread like wildfire among the palace. "Not really, my parents are making me do this to calm down the country."

"Oh, that sucks," Colin said.

"Yeah," I replied glumly.

The rest of our siblings joined us, as well as Colin's. After we mingled with the guests for a while, we played games all night, until the party was over. Luckily, the Swendish royal family would be staying at the palace for a while, to watch my Selection.

Before I went up to my room, my mom came up to me. "Logan, tomorrow will be a busy day. We have to prepare the rooms for the Selected, choose meals, and send out forms."

I groaned internally. "Okay mom, sounds good."

"Ok, Goodnight," she said. I could tell by the look on her face that she felt sorry for me.

"Goodnight Mom," I forced a smile and trudged back up the stairs to my room. I tossed and turned all night, and I didn't fall asleep until 3 in the morning.
