The next week was a blur and all of a sudden it was time for me to head to the palace. I put on the white blouse and black skirt. I borrowed a pair of black flats from my mom to wear. I put my hair in a messy bun and took our province flower, Cherry blossom, and pinned some down almost like a head band.

When we get to the send off I am shocked to see that so many people showed up. I wasn't very reserved but I wasn't popular so when I saw all the people I felt so happy and loved. The mayor made a speech then the national anthem played. Finally, it was time to say good bye to my family. I looked at my mom and almost burst in to tears. She had already told me that the over girls are going to be brutal but some will be nice. She told me about her selection so I had a head up but I was still nervous. I gave her a hug and told her I loved her then moved on to my dad. He told me to be careful and to write soon. Then I was off to the airport.

I'd never seen a plane let a lone been on one. So, in we pulled up to the airport I was shocked at how big it was. I went in side and sat on one of the seats as I waited for the three other girls to arrive. I couldn't wait to see the palace and prince Cameron, He always looked cute on TV but I didn't watch it that much so I wasn't really sure about him. All I new about him was that he was 19, had a 6-year-old sister and was the crown prince of Illea. I was hopping he was nice and sweet and caring but for all I knew he could be a complete idiot and rude.

I decide to start writing a list of things that I want to do.

The first one is find my true love.

2. find a best friend at I can tell anything to,

3. learn how to bake and decorate a cake,

4. learn how to sew,

5. learn how to speak French,

Those were the only things I could think of at the moment but I was sure that my list would get longer.

The first girl to arrive was a girl with long brown curly hair that complemented her green eyes nicely. She introduced her self as Aria Ryves from St. George. She had her hair falling softly down her back with a pink tulip behind her ear. She looked really nice and sweet. When we got talk I could tell she had had a much better education than me but she also looked particularly smart for a three. She didn't seem to care that I was a 7, I mean that I used to be a three but now I am a three. We were sitting around talking when our escorts told us to fasten our seat belts. I was really confused and clearly so was Aria I could tell she didn't like not knowing something. The escort noticed our confusion and told. for safety reason, only 2 selected girls would be on each flight. I was OK with that Aria was nice.

I was calm until the plane started moving and the engines turned on. I gripped the arm tested for dear life and shut my eyes. All of a sudden, we were off the ground and the plane went smooth like we weren't moving. I relaxed against my seat and looked out the window. we were just under the clouds I could see small houses and fields and even a school bus but it looked more like an ant. I closed the little blind over the window so I could take a nap before we got to the palace I was already tired and the day was only half done.

I fell asleep in a matter of seconds. I dreamed about what I thought the palace was gonna be like and the prince. I am woken up by my escort for lunch. The gave us Macaroni and cheese and a brownie. I never thought something so simply like this could taste so good. If this was what the food on the plane was like I couldn't imagine what the palace food would.

For the rest off the trip I just watched some TV with Aria. Since back home we only watched the Report, Aria told me some good shows to watch and explained them to me.

When we got to the airport I could hear a crowd outside and I couldn't believe they were here to us. We walked out to people screaming our names. There were signs with a bunch of names of different selected girls in them. I saw some with Aria's name on them and even a few with mine. as we walked down the path to the limo, I stopped to sign autographs with people and even a few pictures. I didn't realize how many people wanted to meet me.

Last week I was just a poor girl from Midst on now I'm a celebrity on TV. With a Chance to marry the prince.

Like an actual prince!

I was going to love this life.

My mom had told me about the palace and how beautiful it was but it was still shocking when I sawn it or the first time. With the big Wales and the fountain and the gates u could go on for hours about it but we were escorted inside pretty quick. We were escorted in to the "women's room". When we walked in we were greater by maids who told us what was happening. We were getting Makeovers!

At home, we could never afford makeup or hair stuff all I had were some pins, elastics and a brush. So, see in the room full of dresses and shoes and makeup I was so excited. The maids lead me over yo a nails selection where they put cream on me and made my skin smooth. They also painted my nails a reddish pink color. Then as soon as they were dry I was off to hair. First, they washed it then they added a bunch of different products and dried it. They added some blonde high lights even though my hair was already fairly blonde. And then curled it and pinned it back. Then they showed me over to a rack of dresses that had my name on them. The details on them were so pretty that they looked hand made. I asked one of the maids if they were and the said that they were maid by my maids. I have maids! They put me in a purple day dress with gems It was a very pretty dress.

Then I had my interview, they asked me basic questions like what I thought of the palace and stuff to witch I replied politely and smiled. I sat down on a couch and waited for everyone else to finish. From my seat, I had a perfect view of the room. There were maids and girls everywhere. This was going to be interesting.
