Chapter 3

Selena's POV

On my way inside the door I see the letter. Not just any letter, The Letter. My ticket to a new life, a life without medical school, a life without parents who only cares about themselves, and a life without having to walk by the people who bullied me, again and again. That is if I even get picked to participate in the selection.

I pick up the letter, and open it as firmly as possible. I hurry into my room to find a pen, and start filling out the form. The paper is thick and you can feel that it is high quality, it makes me grit my teeht, how can the royal family spend this much money on paper, and so little on caring for the poor people in the lower castes. Even though I am a 3, I wish that the royal family would spend more money on caring for the poor people in our community. I'd do it myself but unfortunately my parent doesn't think, that it is a good idea. And as I don't have a job myself, I don't really have any money to give, and if my parents found out, that I gave their money away they would be furious.

After filling out the form, I consider going to the post office right away, but I know it is not a good idea. It is in the middle of the day, you can't spot a cloud in the sky here in Whites, and I will probably have to wait out in the sun an hour, before I can get in and get my photo taken. I am an albino so, if I am out in the sun too long I will get burnt pretty fast. My White skin and White hair is also the reason for me being a bully victim. I take a look at the form that i just finished and wonder: if I get picked to come to the palace and meet the prince, will I be accepted by the other selectioners? Will they bully me? Will the prince see me as an equal to the other "normal" selectioners?

I hear a knock at the door and go out to open. It is Alya, my best friend. "Hey Sel, Have you dropped out of medical school yet?" She asks me.

"No, I am going to give it a try, maybe I will like it after some time, besides it has only been two weeks, a little too early to drop out" I answer, even though I don't believe it myself.

She sends me a You-know-that-is-not-going-to-happen look, which makes me show her the letter, to change the subject. "Wow I got mine this morning Maybe we could go at get the picture taken together?" She asks.

"Yeah sure, but we will have to wait till this evening." I say

Went the sun starts to set, Alya and I, start walking toward the post office, it is about 3 blocks away from my apartment. The line in front of the post office isn't as long as I expected, but we still wait approximately 20 minutes. Wenn we're up i smile into the camera, and think about how amazing, it would be, to start a new life in Angeles. A life, where I can let all my focus go into writing books, and giving my profits to the greater good.

Thank you for reading! And thank you to Sylea for sending me this character, I hope that I got her right. I am so sorry for not posting in a while, from now on I will post minimum a chapter a week. I still need a lot of characters, so please send some in it means so much to me, and it makes me so happy every time I get a character.
