My mirror was like an illusion, I was looking at myself but it wasn't me. I couldn't take it. Annabelle didn't do my hair since I hate it when people touch it. I ripped off my dress and threw it on my bed, I couldn't stand wearing something that Annabelle told me I looked good in. I used makeup remover to get off the blush and eye shadow she put on. I was going to get Aidan to like me by looking like myself. I applied mascara and eyeliner. My hair was going to be as it always is. The outfit I was wearing before looked like something I would dress in any day, except the shirt was wrinkled so I put on the same tank top but in blue to make my eyes stand out. I also but on jeans so I could look more casual.

When I was done, I didn't know what to do. Then I heard Scott come home. I rushed out to greet him. I didn't want him to be scooped into doing chores yet since I needed advice from him. "Hey Cass, what's up?" I didn't reply, instead I grabbed his hand, dragging him to my room. "What are you doing?" We made it to my room, but as we passed Annabelle's room she gazed out. I tried not to look her in the eye, but they somehow met. I shut the door in the middle of our stare.

"Okay," I said. "Does this look like an outfit I would wear everyday?"

"Uh yeah. You wear it all the time just in different colors." Scott retorted.

"Okay good, but does it represent me?"

"Um... I don't know, I guess since you love those tank tops." I accepted the answer.

"Good, because this is what I'm wearing when I take my picture." I grinned.

"Okay, and why couldn't you ask Annabelle these questions?" Scott interrogated.

"I don't know."

"You got into a fight?"

"Yep."

"K, well I hope it works out. Gotta go now." I nodded as he left my room. Instead of putting on my jean jacket, I put on my black one and got matching black flats with it.

A red car then pulled up in the front of my house. I couldn't be happier to see the mailman. I raced to the door and opened it wide. "Hi Mr. Jefferson!" I was acting all perky.

"Hello Ms. Green, you must be happy about getting these Selection forms." He answered.

"Yes I am."

"Well here's your family mail. I'll see you on Monday." He waved goodbye as he walked to his car.

"Thank you, bye." I bolted inside with all the letters in hand. As I set them all down on my living room table, I searched for the envelope with the two Selection forms. Then I spotted the orange folder, which I snatched up and ripped open. I stared at the paper for minute, reading each of the questions on it. I filled it all in as quickly as possible and it read:

Name: Cassidy Green
Caste: Two
Province: Sumner
Address: 21 Harlem Street
Hair Color: Light Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Talents: Can Do 150 Sit-ups Without Stopping, Can Do The Worm

I had no idea what to put down for talents since I wasn't that talented. Doing the worm isn't that impressive, but maybe he will be intrigued enough that he would want to see me do it.

Annabelle then speed walked in grabbing the paper and quickly heading back towards her room. When I turned to see her, she was in a red dress that went well with her ruby red heels. Before she closed her door to her room, she spoke, "Can you please return my dress?"

"You have two feet, go into my room and get it yourself!" I shouted.

"Fine." She skipped into my room and exited with the aqua dress in hand. "When are you leaving for the Selection?"

"I don't know. Maybe once I get this for done. What about you?" I talked not facing her.

"Same. Would you mind if I walked with you to City Hall?"

"I don't care. But is mom coming with you?"

"Oh I forgot sorry." She then left to go into her room.

I stood up and kissed the sheet like I was giving it good luck. That's when I realized that I didn't have lip gloss on. I rushed into my room and grabbed the first one I laid my eyes on and plastered it on my lips. I then grabbed my phone and shoved it into my back pocket of my jeans. I dashed out the door and into my black Audi car. The form was squeezed in my hand and  I zoomed to City Hall.

The line was horrendous when I got there. I get my mail at 1 and that's early compared to other girls in the province. It was easy to tell who was what caste by what they were wearing. The only thing was someone could be like me and dress like a Three.

I hopped on line and two girls were together in front of me that looked like Fours. "Hi." I said. The wait would be a while, so why not start a conversation to pass the time.

"Hi." One of them said spinning around towards me, then the other one did the same. They looked exactly alike with strawberry blonde hair and hazel green eyes that looked like fireworks. They were both gorgeous. "I'm Riley and this is my twin sister, Olivia." Riley was wearing a green, flowy, strapless
that was high in the front and low in the back, while Olivia wore the same one but in lilac purple.

"I'm Cassidy, how old are you guys?" I questioned.

"We're 17, what about you?" Olivia told me.

"18." I replied. " I don't wanna be rude or anything, but I'm just wondering what caste you are in."

"Four, and you?" Riley asked. My hypothesis was correct.

"I'm a Two."

"You're a Two?" Olivia was flabbergasted. Riley smacked her arm. "I mean you're a Two." Her voice changed when repeating it the second time.

"Yeah, I know I don't look the part, but that's who I am. My sister will be here soon and she will look more like it. What job do you guys do? I'm going to be a professional basketball player." I said.

"That's really cool. We're both helping our dad on the farm he owns." Riley was very perky.

"That's sounds like fun. Oh you might wanna move up." I suggested as they realized the line was moving. "So why are you girls signing up for the Selection? For family, for the crown for fun, or because you think Aidan is smoking hot?"

We all laughed at my joke. "Well I think  because it's fun and also the last one. Plus it would help the family." Olivia responded.

"You are one of the nicest Twos' we have ever met." Riley whispered so only her, Olivia, and I could hear her.

"Thank you. People think they can boss the other castes around since they have more money, but I feel that no one should ever do that since we are all human beings." I didn't say that just to sound like a great person, but it was true.

"That's amazing. Finally we're inside." Olivia announced as the point in the line we were in entered City Hall. I caught flashes coming from the room the line led to. "Im freaking out. What if I spelled something wrong on here? My picture is going to look awful!"

"You look beyond beautiful right now and I think Aidan will see that in you." I said smiling, holding Olivia's hand.

"You really think so?" She glanced up at me.

"Of course. Who wouldn't love you or you?" I said pulling the twins into a huddle. "Just act natural and be yourself because that's what he will probably look for." They smiled and we then made it to the top of the line.

Olivia went in first and it only took we 3 minutes, then she came out. She looked as she did when she left us last. She wished Riley and I luck as she left the building. I had to force Riley into the room to get her in. She was all smiles when she came out and said, "it was fine, I guess."

"Hello," the photographer greeted me as I sat in the chair. The seat was warm and I noticed that someone from Sumner sat in this chair and will be selected to go to the palace. "Smile big!" I flashed the biggest grin I could make and handed my form to the lady next to the photographer. It seemed shorter when you were the girl in the room.

I left the room as happy as can be. I couldn't believe that soon Prince Aidan will be staring at a picture of me and deciding I he should select me.
