amaid as a Princess. I told him I wanted to leave, so they made me a five because Ising anddance.


You see, today they are announcing the Selected on TV. Of course I didn't enter, I never want to see his family,or him in person ever again! My mother, father, and little sister Rose sit in front of the TV on our worn out, drab looking couch. Whyam
/I watching this in the first place? Ugh, I don't care about Ashton anymore.

The host, Christian Derwin introduces Ashton. I haven't seen him in so long. Blond hair, blue eyes, that smile...

"So are you ready to see which lovely 35 young ladies will be in your Selection?" Christian's voice snaps me back into reality. Then I hear Ashton"Yes Iam."


They start calling out the names of the 35 girls chosen. Lexy Ton, Fawn Quill, Yvette Erie...I bet they're all much prettier than me. I'm just a brunette with the ugliest brown eyes and the palest skin there Christian calls out my Province,Carolina.

I wonder which girl will be competing for him. I just stare blankly at the TV until I hear Christian say a familiar name...

"Melody Renné"


I just stare blankly at the TV. I can't dothis. I don't want to see him, or his family...Wait...Who entered me?!
