Another day, another chapter! I heard your voice, and I'm excited to do a split POV for this chapter. Hopefully this will explain everything that needs clearing up. Any questions, or you liked my story? Please review! Love you all, and please enjoy!
Prince Alexander POV
I paced back and forth across my room. Selection forms were coming in from all over the country. Everyone asked me the same question: are you excited? I always said yes, because after all, I felt nervous and a plethora of other emotions, but I couldn't push that onto someone all at once. My mom, Queen Anne, opened the door and knocked, even though it was open. I sat on the bed, and she sat next to me.
"Hey Alexander. I know you must be feeling nervous, but I wanted to see if I could help with anything." I thought about everything, and probed my mind for questions, but found none. "Hmmmmm..." I thought. I had nothing to say. My mom sensed this, and started to talk.
"Well, when the girls come, as I did, they will be nervous. I mean, think about it. They've been transported here and are being overcome with all these people. It's a lot to go through on one day. If they want to go home, I know that you might not want to let them, but I would make sure that they are thinking it through clearly. You can't keep them here on their own. But, don't be afraid to have fun."
Right on time, my younger sister, Mary, burst through the door. I had told her repeatedly not to come through like that, but I was relieved by her visit. I didn't want to have this awkward talk alone. 11 and energetic, Mary pulled out a chair from my desk and sat down, head sitting on her palms, elbows on her knees, and her eyes darting between us.
"Sooooooo..." Mary said.
"I was just telling Alexander that he should have fun during his Selection," My mother replied lovingly.
"Ahh, I'm so excited! They're going to be so nice and pretty and amazing and I just can't wait and I'll get an older sister and-"
"Okay, okay, calm down," I replied. I tried to put on a happy ace, even though on the inside I was panicked. What if no girl would want to become princess, and eventually queen? I would be scared. To get her out of the room, I said, "why don't play with Liza?" Liza was our younger sister, who is 5 years old. She is the cutest, and she and Mary are such good friends, and love playing together. While they can be annoying, I could never imagine a life without them. Mary practically bounced out the door, taking my mom with her, and I fell back onto my bed, my hands over my face, doubting myself, wondering if I was even ready for this.
Kelly Conners, 2, Carolina POV
I walked down the hall, my posse right behind me. I opened my locker, hearing my girls talk behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror, putting on another layer of lipstick. I applied it expertly, and turned to face my best friends. As the captain of the cheerleading squad, and unofficial prom queen of Culver High School, I had to be a leader.
"Guess who signed up for the Selection!" I squealed, giggling as a some guys looked at me and smiled. By making a show, I got attention, one of the things I really wanted. I had sent it in yesterday. It was easy to fill it out. I know all my good traits.
"You!" One of my earliest friends, Talia, said. She continued to do both cheer and volleyball. She was good at both, and sometimes my patience ran out with her, but overall she was a good friend.
"Yup!" I returned her smile. I fixed my hair, waiting for responses from other people. "Well..." I trailed, waiting for the reaction I desired. Did they just think that they could be silent? No.
"Oh," said Morgan, one of the slower people in my clique. I rolled my eyes. Seeing my reaction, she quickly hurried to say, "you are def going to get picked Kel. I mean, like, you're like, the prettiest and smartest," Morgan said, finishing.
"Oh stop it," I said waving my hand, even though I wanted the praise to keep coming. My clique laughed, and I laughed along with them. "Okay girls, we should probably get to class. Remember,there's a party at Ethan's on Selection night," I said, waving to them.
P
I got out of the cab, putting my wallet back in my bag. I dropped it on the floor as I walked in.
"Welcome home sugar," my mom said, sitting on the couch, drinking her iced coffee. Her great looks had been passed on to me.
"Hey. How is Amber doing?" I asked speaking of my older sister. She was a scientist now in a lab. My mother scoffed when she had heard of her dream. "Such good looks gone to waste!" She had said. I was glad about my mother's disapproval.
Amber was the perfect child. I always lived in her shadow, and I was always envious of her. Amber was the better looking, more popular, and just overall more liked than me. I just wanted to be better than her. If I won the selection, that would be the ultimate decider on who was better. I was determined to win. I was going to be Queen. As I started my homework, I daydreamed about laughing at Amber. She had put in the mud for too long. I would be victorious.
There we have it! What does everyone think about Kelly and Alexander? Hopefully some things were wrapped up. I'll try to get a new chapter up as soon as I can. Should I do some questions or songs of the day? Whatever you guys want. Please Please Please remember to review!
