Thanks so much for reading! Sorry my story got deleted so I'm starting over *cries* I'll put the SYOC form at the bottom of this chapter. Please submit characters soon, I'm hoping to get 15-20 characters so feel free to submit more than one!


"A selection?" I asked. Katie and I were enjoying a day at the beach while we were on break from school. We were both only a couple months away from graduating from school, but Katie was already engaged to her sweetheart Aaron.

"Yeah like where you go to the palace and meet the Prince along with 34 other girls and compete to win his heart and try to make him fall in love with you and only you."

"I know what a selection is you idiot." I rolled my eyes at her sarcastic explanation. "I meant didn't the Queen just barely have hers, and Prince Kaden just got married, and Prince Osten has had what, 5 girlfriends in the last year. Why is he havinga
selection now?"

"I don't know he said something about being tired of the single life and wanting what his siblings have or something on the report last week. Does your mom still not let you watch that?"

"No she thinks it's a waste of time and that the royal family is just a bunch of rubbish."

"Yeah, I'm sorry dude come over thenextcouple weeks to watch it with me,after you've turned in yourform, and we'll see who theluckywomen are who get chosen." She wiggled her eyebrows at that last part
and made me laugh.

"Alright, I'll have to see if my mom will let me leave. Ever since Campbell and Camryn moved out she's been getting stricter by the minute, I swear."

"Yeah trust me, I know." Katie rolled her eyes.

"Wait, do you think she would even let me enter my form in?" I asked suddenly worried.

"Oh... umm... I'm not sure. Maybe you should just do it and then tell her after you submit it."

"No I don't want to go behind her back or anything. What if she gets mad or something?"

"Well, then we do it and don't tell her unless you get chosen."

"I don't know Katie..." I hesitated, "if she finds out like that it could be even worse. What if I get chosen and she finds out and she doesn't let me go?"

"Then she would be holding you against your will, Ali, you're 18 now. She doesn't have as much power over you as you think."

"I know, but she's still my mom. I can't just pretend she doesn't exist."

"I'm not asking you to, I'm just saying that you're old enough to make your own decisions now. You don't need her holding your hand for the rest of your life."

"I know, but-"

"No buts!" Katie cut me off. "Either you do this, or I do it for you and send it in on my own."

"fine," I conceded. "But if she finds out and kills me, I'm leaving a note saying it was your fault."

"If that makes you feel better." Katie rolled her eyes again and laughed. "Either way, we should probably go so you don't get in trouble. I'll grab my form from home on the way for you to use, because there's no way your moms going to give you yours."

"Okay, alright let's go."
