It was barely six o'clock in the morning when my older sister sneaks into my room and is trying to wake me up.
"Psst. Psst. Wake up Gen."
"Leave me alone Wendy. Can't you see I'm sleeping." I try to go back under the covers when all of a sudden the whole blanket is yanked away from me. I look up and realize my little sister Christina joined us and she's the one who took my blanket.
"Wake up Gen. Wendy has to tell you something important." Christiana climbs onto my bed and sits up with me while Wendy pulls out a letter.
"Oh my god! Thats the form for the selection. Let me see it." I instantly start grabbing at my sister. She's taunting me with it for a couple of minutes and finally allows me to see it. I can't believe that in my hands is my future.
"Here you go Gen I have a pen if you want." My little sister is so sweet. I hug her and then take the pen from her. Soon I finish the form.
"You know this is supposedly not a lottery at all. They take a picture of all the girls entering. Addy next door told me. If we get dressed now then you won't have to wait in a long line and deal with sweating."
"Wendy you're a genius."
Soon we're waiting in line for the post office to open. I decided to wear a black dress with a halter neckline. Wendy also lended me her aqua colored earrings. Then she gave me did my makeup and decided to give me beautiful smokey eyes. I curled my hair which is long and red like a firetruck. Finally I see the old lady who runs the post office. With her are two photographers. When she opens the door I step inside and take a seat while the photographers setup. Since I'm the first one here they let me choose the backdrop. I use this to my advantage and decide to go with gray. My hair will pop out even more. I do one last hair flip and then they take my picture. I step outside and realize there is a huge line and they're all staring daggers at me. I give them an innocent smile and in my head realize nobody has a chance against me.
I hoped you all enjoyed Genevieve and next is Alice Foster.
I was walking down the sidewalk with the sun at my back. It was a very nice day to be in Clinchmore I decided. Taking a turn on Gladsdale I started heading home. I had just finished a nice day of work at the Sota School of Deaf. I loved teaching it made me feel amazing and gave me great satisfactory. At the school I teach theatre and I also am in charge of speech therapy. I've attended the school since I was four years old and now I'm working there. I'm glad I'm making a difference in people just like me.
When I reach the end of my drive way I open my mail box. Inside is a bright white envelope. It's addressed from the royal family! I quickly rush inside and grab the letter opener. I get a paper cut in the rush but I don't care because I'm reading something that could change my life. The letter explains how I'm eligible to enter the Selection for Prince Dimitri. I start jumping up and down and my roommate enters the room. She signs asking why am I so happy. I sign back saying what I have just read. She tells me she got a letter as well but she declined since she believes the prince will be a royal pain. Inside the envelope is the form and I start filling it out. I'm proud to say I can speak ASL and also SSL.
I go back outside and start walking to the post office. There's just a short line outside and I'm waiting not even fifteen minutes. Unexpectedly they sit me down for my picture. If I had known this I would of put more effort into my outfit. I'm wearing a navy blue polo and khakis. I didn't even bother to put on makeup and my hairs in probably the worlds messiest bun. I keep worrying about how I look until I'm almost home again. Then I realize if the prince doesn't like me like this than he isn't even worth my time. With that in mind I walk proudly to my home.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I'm sorry it's so short this is my first story though. I also want to say that I still need more characters.
