Chapter (ummm) Three?
Eh, doesn't matter. Anyway this chapter they get picked next - the palace and you know so on and so on. Hope you had a merry christmas ;)
Warren POV :
Waiting is torture. Especially when you're sitting on a throne and wearing a crown. Everything becomes more dramatic. I think I might be sweating, but whenever the camera turns toward me I smile like I can't wait. And it's not a lie, like I said - waiting is torture.
Have you ever waited for something that has the potential to change your life? Maybe whether or not you got into high school? College? Preschool? No? Well my future wife is going to be on a screen in a couple of minutes. I can hear maids and butlers setting everything up. My sister,Lena, is sitting next to my Mom and I am sitting next to my Dad. I know my dad is nervous because he has been trying to calm me down all day, even when I was already calm. Me and him are not like my Mom and Lena. When the cameras turn on they become a mask of false happiness, not that they aren't already happy.
I turn my head and smile at the camera, a maid taps my shoulder-"Your Majesty cameras will be on in three." I just nod and try to hold my hands still by taking deep breaths. I can feel my dad doing the same next to me. 1...2…3 Roy looks up from the seat and starts the report-"Ladies and Gentleman the moment I….uh..er...you have all been waiting for. My best friend Prince Warren will see the faces of his beloved selection members and among them his future wife….Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Prince Warren!" I walk down from the throne and towards Troy to take a seat next to him in a red chair. It's easy for me to smile now, sitting next to Troy. "Ok, tell me, are you excited?"
No is my first answer, more like scared out of my mind instead I said, "It's a little nerve racking." Troy pats me on the shoulder encouragingly. Then turns to face the camera. "Let's get this thing started, ok the first young lady from Angles this country right here ; Cortney Chambers."
A picture of a lady in her late teens shows on the screen. She was leaning forward and looking at the camera through her long lashes. I gulped and looked over at Troy who was laughing lightly. He caught my eye behind the camera and mouthed - one down, stay calm. "Ok the new lady is from Whites ; Renya Hart." A picture of a lady shows, she is wearing a plain shirts has short black hair and bangs dark blue eyes like the sea during a storm or the dark blue of a star lit sky. The most interesting part is even though the young lady isn't smiling (at all) she seems happy.
I wipe my palms on my pants and count to three. "Next is from Hudson ; Jade Caldwell."
She is smiling at the camera in a obviously overly friendly looks over at me like hold on dude.
After about twelve more , I have mastered the art of looking pleased after every picture. "Next is from St. George ; Torina Torres." A girl in a black dress with long blond hair and side bangs shows up on the screen. Her smile is a challenge. I smile at the camera warmly, and look over at Troy and mouth five more. He grins "Next is from Allen's ; Bianca Rivera." A small girl wearing a pink dress and high heels with a goofy smile shows on screen.
My eyes start getting tired near the last two, Troy bumps my shoe and I look up for the last two -
"Are second to last young lady is from Waverly ; Ruby Summers." The screen flashes and a Lady with dark brown curly hair shows on the screen she is raising an eyebrow. Troy is holding back a laugh lightly and smirking. I can't help it I laugh lightly and raise my eyebrow back at the girl on the screen. Troy is holding back a laugh beside me. When Troy composes himself he goes on to the last one." Now for are last, but certainly not least, from Dakota ; Kaylee Robertson" A picture of a lady wearing a light blue dress shows on the screen. She smiles friendly at the camera with one eye closed in a wink. "That will be it focks, good night.!"
The lights turn off and I let out a breath and look over at Troy who is already grinning, "It's all over dude," Troy says encouragingly.
"On the contrary," I responded warily,"I think this is the beginning."
Ruby's POV:
Everyone was there when I was selected; Mom, Dad, Lennie, my brother (Bracken), Kaylee, and her Dad. We were all squashed in her hotel room. I was at the end of the couch. And I was sinking into the couch seat. Kaylee was seated next to me and she was gripping my arm tightly.
They had already said most of the girls and the last two provinces were Waverley and Dakota.
I could feel Kaylee's nails dig into my skin. Dang she had sharp nails. I stared at the screen unmoving. "Ruby Summers." Troy's voice said from the screen. My heart stopped, than began to beat really fast. I stared at my smirking face, momentarily in shock. I could hear my Mom cursing and Lennie asking questions. But all I could feel Kaylee's arms wrap around me and I could tell she was crying. I looked up at the screen in confusion. Her face showed up brighter than ever winking at the camera. I wrapped the arms around her and we held each other. She held me out of happiness and confusion. I was a like a stone that was thrown into the ocean when it should be in the lake. And we both sank together.
That's it next chapter they go to the palace - yeah excitement anyway that's it :) ;)
