Chapter 1

"Timarie I'm home and I got something for you." my dad as he enter the house.

"Hi Dad!" I greeted him and I run into his arms. When Dad and I embrace each other I always feel safe in his arms.

Dad hold out a form and he smile at me.

"What does the form say that make you so happy?" I asked confused.

"Its the form for The Selection!" Dad exclaimed.

I scream in delight. I always waited for Prince Maxon's Selection for years. I had a huge crush on him since I was little.

"I'm going to fill it out Dad and thank you." I gave my dad a hug and kiss on his cheek.

I went in my room to fill out the form.

Name: Timarie Banos.Age: 17Province: CarolinaCaste: 4Job: noneHair Color: Honey BlondeEye Color: GreenHeight: 5 ftLanuages: English Spanish and French.Talent: Acting writing and art.That was quick and easy. I really hope the palace except this.

I brought it out to the living room were Dad was watching tv.

"All done." I said heading the letter to Dad.

"That great! We can take it to the Province's Office." Dad said and we headed to our car.

It took a few minutes and we got there. I saw a long line of girls standing in line.

I hate long lines.

"Dad how long is this going to take?" I asked.

"It will be quick." He promised.

I know why we're standing in line because the palace need a picture of us for the application.

A few hours later the photograhter call my name. I went up and sit on the stool. Flashing a bright smile on my face for Prince Maxon.

Any girl in Illea will smile brightly as me.

After my picture was taken we head home. I prepare dinner for my father and myself.

I really wanted to be in The Selection but another part of me wouldn't bare to be separte from my dad. He depends on me and I do the same for him. My dad is the sweetest and bestest person.

And besides Dad is getting old and he need someone to look after him when I'm gone.

I would asked my older sister Lizette from his side to take care of him.

I wish Dad good night and went to bed.
