Hi again. For ages now I had forgotten about this story because I have been revising for school and then today I remembered I had forgotton to do one in ages. Enjoy!

The alarm wakes me up at 7am to start the day. I groan and turn over covering my ears with the pillow.

"It's too early." I groan. Then suddenly Melissa bursts through the door with way to much energy for this time in the morning.

"Megan get up!" She shouts.

"Why?" I ask, perfectly happy just where I am.

"Honestly, have you forgotten? Today your going to the palace for The Selection!" She starts jumping around then runs through my door to start breakfast. Oh. Today is The Selection. I start smiling then leap from my bed.

I throw on my black trousers and white top (the selected clothes) and throw my thick hair into a messy bun with the province flower held in by a clip. I quickly brush my teeth and put some concealer on my face. Then I sprint down to the kitchen and stuff my mouth with cereal and apple slices.

"Wow you must be hungry." She notes.

"I'm not, I'm just excited."

"Well, even though I am slightly jealous that you will be eating amazing food for a while and that you will be wearing such nice clothes, I'm glad that you will be having such an amazing opportunity."

"Thanks Melissa, I'm going to really miss you." I say.

"Same to you Megan." She stands up and gives me a tight hug.

"Ha, I'm not leaving yet." I laugh.

"I know, I know but I have gotten used to you living with me. It won't be the same once you go."

"Melissa, I'll be coming back."

"Yeah but still, even if you do come back, I will miss you a lot. Anyway, go and check you have everything you want."

"Okay." I smile at her and dump my now empty dish in the sink. I run up the stairs and to my room. I check through my bag one last time and take it downstairs, dumping it by the front door. I then go back up to my room and look around it one last time. I can't believe I have spent months sleeping in this room: waking up to go to the studio for work; secretly checking my phone once every day to see if anyone has texted me from home; and lastly, having girly nights in my room with Melissa and our other friends from the studio. I'm really going to miss here.

I look at the clock and realize it's nearly time to go to the town centre for my send-off, 8:45.

"Melissa it's time to go!"

**********************Page break********************************************Page break**********************

We arrive at the town centre and I'm struck by how many people are here! I spot the studio manager in the crowd as well as all my dancing friends. Also, unfortunately, that bitch Zac who is winking at Melissa. I ish and drag her through the crowd to the back of the stage where the people from the palace told me to go. I leave her in the crowd and climb the stairs.

"Hello Miss Megan, your right on time. Now don't be nervous, the mayor will just ask you a few questions and then when it is time for you to leave, we will escort you to the car where you will say your goodbyes. Understand?"

"Yes." I reply now growing nervous due to the crowd cheering. The mayor walks on and introduces me. Then I walk on.

"Now Miss Megan, tell us a bit about yourself." The mayor asks.

"Err... well I am a five and I dance at the Lee wood Studio with my friends. I err..moved here from England a while ago because my parents wanted me to travel and I decided to live here."

"Wow. So what is life back in England like?" I start to smile now, remembering.

"Beautiful. It certainly has more rain than here but I like that. If you have seen England then you will know that it is very different from here."

He then asks me a few more questions before it is time for me to leave. I give Melissa a tight hug and then a woman takes me to the car. It's time. The car ride to the airport takes about 1 and a half hours. As soon as I enter the airport I am greeted by a girl. The first selected I meet!

"Hello, I'm Anna Farmer a four. Nice to meet you. I'm from Honduragua" It's Anna Farmer! Oh my gosh!

"Oh hi my name's Megan Breen a five. From Bonita." I reply, trying to compose myself.

"I know! I can't believe we are here. I'm so excited." We end up chatting for a bit when the other two girls come in. They are Leah Sacks, a three from Dominica and Laila Toil a four from Panama. We don't get to speak to each other though because then the pilot takes us to the plane straight away. I end up sitting on my own as Anna goes to sit with the other girls and before I can go with her we have to stay seated because we are going to take off.

On the plane ride I listen to music through my headphones but it is a bit of annoying because I have to hide my phone every time someone passes so no one can question me on how a five has a phone. I eventually get through my playlist so I text Lucy telling her that I am on the plane to the palace. She immediately text back:

Wow! Tell me what it looks like when u get there and make sure to take some pics so u can send them 2 me! 😊 Have a safe journey ✈😊

I smile and just look out the window until we land. I can't wait!
