This chapter will introduce two more characters, Sydney and Scarlet. I know Scarlet was sent as a review, but she was from my brother, and he just made an account, making it impossible for him to PM me. If you have that problem, tell me in the reviews and i'll accept your characters that way. Thanks and enjoy the chapter!
~Sydney's POV~
Medical School. Once again, I'm doing Medical School homework. Not that i'm complaining. I actually enjoy school, and as a Three, it's kinda easy to get into a school. My dad is a professor, and my mom is a therapist, and they always pushed education. Through Cayden, Cameron, then me. They always supported us and had the biggest hopes for us. That is until Cayden married a Five. This brought tension in our family. We were always superior to the lower castes, but Cayden believed in equality. He seems so happy that I'm starting to believe that way as well. When my Selection letter came in the mail, there was no doubt I was filling it out.
"Dad!" I shouted. "I'm going to be filling out my form before it is too late!"
"Are you finished with your homework?" He replied. I sighed.
"No," I mumbled.
"Finish it, then I'll give you the form!" He yelled. School was our top priority, and sometimes it got in the way of our personal lives. I quickly finished my homework, for once not caring if it was wrong, and ran downstairs. I ran into the dining room and grabbed the form and a pen. I am entering, and potentially winning. Prince Daniel looks really nice on the Report, maybe I'll even love him. He'll be a great King, and maybe I'l be the Queen. I'm not going to sabotage or anything. I'm a strict Christian, and I always where a Cross necklace around my neck. I quickly filled out my form, because most of it was easy, and went to the Service Office. I walked into the bathroom to fix my hair. I took my hair out of the ponytail and combed it with my fingers. I reapplied the little makeup I had on, and walked out of the bathroom and to the long line of girls. In front of me were two Twos gossiping.
"Did you hear they are letting Eights into the competition? I'm going to get contaminated!" One screeched.
"Relax, you only have to worry about it if you get in. Do you want to even get in?" The other one asked. I was starting to grow impatient, I couldn't stand being behind these two for much longer.
"Prince Daniel is cute, but not my type." The first girl said. "I just want the crown," Typical. Most girls only join the Selection for the Crown and money, not for the Prince. Soon, it was the first girl's turn.
"You got this Annalise!" The second Two said. Annalise sat down and gave a mischievous smile. God, she's a slut. She has so much makeup on, she looks like a clown. I don't see the point of makeup. Prince Daniel wants to see the real you anyway. After the other girl took her picture, it was my turn. I sat down and heard laughter. I saw a group of Twos pointing at there neck. They were making fun of my birthmark, and I didn't care. This was my moment. I gave the biggest smile I could, and the camera went click.
~Scarlet's POV~
"One order of French Fries, and a French Burger! Neither of which are French!" I handed the customers their order and walked away to hear them laugh. I love my job, I get to make the corniest jokes, and hear them laugh. My boss says I should be a comedian, but I don't have the money. I work off tips, and even though I can make people laugh, and I help people feel good and that they belong, but it still doesn't add up to the right amount of money. My shift ends and I walk home to my loving family. My mom rushes up to me and gives me a hug, and puts something in my hand.
"Fill this out now," She said. My mom rarely commands me to do anything, so this must be important. I opened the letter, and the Selection Form fell out. I laughed.
"Okay," I say, and sat down on the couch. I grabbed a pen and started to fill things out.

Done! I fold the form and redid my ponytail. I looked into the mirror and smiled. Maybe I have a chance, despite being a Six. I walk out of the house and to the Service Office. The lady taking the picture, gave me a look of disgust when I gave her my form. I sat down on the stool, and gave the biggest, prettiest smile I could. I'm going to make the Prince laugh if it's the last thing I do.
There you have it! Sydney and Scarlet! How do you like them? I need more characters! Someone just give me a jerky character and I will be happy! I only have four characters right now, so yeah. Tell me in the reviews who is your favorite so far! Is it Jenny, Lexus, Sydney, or Scarlet?
