Amberlys POV
The moment I found out I made it to the selection I was so happy! I never thought I would actually make it, my parents were happy, I knew they were happy for me but deep down I could see they did not want their little girl to leave but I knew that it was a once in a life time opportunity. I could not wait to tell my friends either, I knew they would be happy for me. I walked to school as fast as I could, and I kept thinking what they would say. As I entered the school gates I kept an eye out for my friends, I found them a few seconds later by the bleachers. I jogged over to them and Lexi, one of my friends, noticed me first, "Hey Amberly, whats up!" she said excitedly!
"Nothing much" I replied, "BUT THE BIGGEST NEWS EVER!" I sang a little to loud! All my friends, Lexi, Joy, Jessica and Spring gathered around and begged me to tell them and so I did. "Well nothing but the biggest, once in a life time opportunity, "I AM ACCEPTED FOR THE SELECTION!" I sang loudly. I saw some people around us who heard and looked either jealous, anxious and like they were dyeing to be me! But my friends reaction were different, they all went silent and I did not know what they were thinking to be honest but it was certainly not like they were dying to be me, that's something I can tell you."So what do you guys think?" I said to fill the silence, I looked around but know one looked like they were going to say anything so I asked Jessica what she thought about it since she was always known to be the one who loved to speak and get attention.
She opened her mouth but paused,"Well Amberly, you know we just thought that the selection was a bit lame, like the prince is selfless and stuck up, when we all entered, we entered because we wanted to but we realised what we see on the report is not the real him, it is just him getting told what to do, as he does not want to look bad on camera you see, we were going to tell you but we saw how much this meant to you!" Jessica said with a little uneasy sound in her voice. I was then the one silent, I did not know what to say but one thing I know is that I am still doing the selection, maybe there is a nice and sensitive side to him or maybe there isn't, we will have to just wait and see.
The next morning I woke up early getting ready to pack, when there was a knock on the door, I rushed to the door to see the mail man when he handed me a nicely rapped letter and as soon as I got it I ripped it open, and it said "Dear Miss Amberly, we would like to inform you that you do not need to bring to bring clothes as they will be provided and that we would like you at the palace by tomorrow night, we will send a plane for you at early evening, please note that there will be other girls on your plane coming for the selection too, thank you for your time, The Palace" it said. I left the letter on the cabinet and went to get my keys so I could go get the last minute shopping done for my mum before I left.
The next day as I boarded the plane to go to the palace, I got jitters and I were not sure if they were happy jitters or nervous jitters. On the plane it was pretty boring, it was just a two hour flight. As we arrived at the palace, ti were so beautiful, I though that I was in a dream, there was the garden with huge patches of grass, a water fountain, and there was an outside table with an umbrella. As we drove through the gates we got to the front doors of the palace and they were so tall I could not see the top, the floors were so polished that I could see my reflection. This is my dream, and hopefully another one to come true.
