WARNING:THIS STORY WILL CONTAIN STRONG LANGUAGE (I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT NOT TOO COMMON), KISSING (OBVIOUSLY), VIOLENCE (AROUND THE SAME AMOUNT IN THE ACTUAL BOOKS), AND EXTREME SHIPPING LATER ON.
"Tonight's the night!" Macy shrieked into my ear, causing me to bring my hands up to cover my ears, wincing.
I glared at her; playfully, of course. "Jeez, Macy. Could you be any louder?"
She grinned at me, her smile stretching for ear to ear. "Actually, I can. Would you like to hear?"
I shook my head. "Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass."
She laughed. "Okay sit down, I'll go make the popcorn. The program starts in, like, five minutes so turn on the television."
"Okay." I replied simply, diving onto the couch. I grabbed the remote and switched on the TV. "Yo, Macy!"
She walked into the room. "Yeah?"
I nodded my head towards the TV. "The programs already started."
She ran for the couch and sat down next to me. Her eyes widened as she stared at the screen.
"Uh, Ma-"
She clamped her hand over my mouth. "Shut up! They're about to announce the names!"
I stared at the screen. The man , Harrison Gilmore, began naming the girls picked for The Selection.
"Louise Harper. Two. Columbia." A picture popped up of a girl. She was a blonde girl with red, puffy lips that were no doubt not natural.
Macy coughed besides me. "Slut."
I turned around to face her. "Mac-"
I was cut off when the next name was called.
"Macy Collins. Three. Clermont."
She looked at me. "Holy shit, Charlotte! I'm in!"
"I know! That's awesome!" I bear-hugged her but stopped after a couple of names.
"Charlotte Maywood. Three. Clermont." My mouth dropped.
Oh hell no.
Suddenly, my head felt light and all I could hear was Macy talking frantically.
Then I blacked out.
"Char-Char." A voice whined, dragging out the words. Someone shook my shoulder roughly.
Opening my eyes, I groaned. "Why is it so bright in here?"
Macy looked at me. "You're in the hospital, Charlotte."
I looked at her, confused. "Why the heck am I in a hospital? I fainted. I didn't get hit by a truck."
Macy looked at me like I was crazy. "Exactly! You fainted!"
I returned the look. "So I have to go to a hospital? You should have just poured some icy water on my face and I'd of been fine."
She looked down sheepishly. "Sorry." she mumbled.
I gave her the 'are-you-shitting-with-me-look'. "Why? Because you took care of me? That's nothing to be sorry about!" I told her. "In fact, it makes me love you even more!" I held out my arms for a hug.
She leaped into my arms. "I'm just glad that you're okay."
I smiled at her. "Thanks."
She looked up at me. "Charlotte?"
"Yeah?"
She sighed. "Well, I was thinking. In the Selection, if we're the last two people, will we still be friends? I mean, If one of us gets picked over the other?"
I looked at her as if she was insane. "Of course, Mace! Why would you even think we wouldn't?"
She laughed. "I love you, chicken."
"Love you too, rooster."
Well isn't that just adorable.
Well, in my opinion anyway.
I mean, they call each other chicken and rooster. I'll probably explain the meaning of it later on.
itOkay, so sorry for not updating in awhile. But, with school starting up again and me having this gigantic assignment that's worth 50% of my grade that I left for last minute (technically the last 10 days) I've been a b busy.
I know my chapters are short, but, I do intend on making them longer! This chapter was on 545 words...I think.
Anyway, I'm going to start this thing where you guys create some characters that are in the SELECTION!
SAY WHAT?!
I personally think that no one will sign up for it, but oh well.
Here's the form for your character.
Name:
Age:
Caste:
Province(you can find the provinces on the wiki.):
Personality:

Enjoy the chapter.
