                   3 rd person's POV
               
                        The Selection. 

Every girl's dream and yet every boy's nightmare.
  For the boys...  the giveaway of the ones they love to another whom everyone thinks is well... fitting, was their nightmare.

For the girls, the honour or privilege to stand before royalty- or more or less court them-was worth more than silver and gold.
      Thirty-five girls are to be chosen from the whole of France{😂😂I almost wrote Illea} to represent their province and to participate in the selection. 

When the prince comes of age to rule the kingdom, the selection is performed to get a suitable mate for him.

In this kingdom everyone is grouped into labels or Castes which are:

Caste 1: For Royals only

Caste 2:The Rich and Prestigious

Caste 3: The Elite (rich but not famous)

Caste 4: The Modest( or the Middle Men)

Caste 5/6: The Servants

Caste 7: The Unlabeled (those not noticed by the kingdom or do menial jobs)

Marinette Dupain-Cheng , Caste 5, a common servant was the only one who dislikes the Selection.

She views it as a waste of time and and resources which should be used to cater for the country and mostly the poor.

  She also dislikes the prince, who in her words is "A snobbish stuck-up brat who loves flashing his face around and charming the ladies."

However, the rest of her family don't think the same way.
  Her mom, for example, thinks of it as a privilege to meet royalty and others above their caste, the main reason why she wants her daughter in the Selection and the other reason why she filled her in even though she knew how much Marinette hated the Selection.

Marinette a was Caste 5 and worked in  her parents confectionery or rather, what was left of it.

Her Master, who, by the way was always harsh and brutal to her, had everywhere renovated and everything and memory left of her parents owning the place, gone.

(If you can't figure it out they couldn't afford to cater for the bakery since the bread winner of the family was dead so they sold it out for an exchange that Marinette will serve as a servant there to gain money for the family)

Though she had such harsh opinions on the selection, Marinette was a humble, kindhearted, selfless girl whose interests are to protect those close to her heart.

This story starts on the day of the Selection.

                        Marinette's POV
                            At the bakery
Today was just another day. The bakery was filled to the brim with customers buying all sorts of assorted goods.

I wonder what the occasion is. Oh!  It's the day of the Selection! No wonder the bakery is to close early today!

To say I hate the selection is an understatement.

It consists of royal pains like Chloe and many other species of unfriendliness.

But what surprises me is that my mum enlisted me in the selection.

Oh well... Its not like I'll get picked or anything... Or will I? W-what if I do get picked?  Then who'll take care of mum!  And the bakery may crash with one person less and-

"Marinette! Time to close the bakery!"

I guess I'll just do my worrying later. 

As I put away the kitchen pans, Chloe bangs in and starts rambling and screaming about how a cake should made for her because she will become one of the Selected. Workers all around me start complaining about how Chloe is such a stuck up brat and how she -

" It's not only you that's in the selection Chloe so -"

Mr Bourgeois walks in. The whole bakery is silent. 

"Who dared to say that to my Chloe!!! "

Chloe ran to meet her father while she tells him the name of the one who did it. 

"YOU!!! "

Mr Bourgeois said pointing to me.

Me.... I never did anything!! Then i see Chloe smirking.  This must be her revenge...
"YOU!!!  YOU RAGGED SERVANT! CHLOE ALWAYS COMPLAINED ON HOW YOUR THE WORST BAKER HERE AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO RAISE YOUR VOICE AT HER!!! "

I keep a straight face showing no remorse whatsoever. Who does Chloe think she is, always-

•SLAM•

Was heard at the background...
My earbuds are ringing and it becomes worse when he said

"YOUR FIRED!!!!  GO TELL THAT WRECHED MOTHER OF YOURS THAT THE DEAL IS OFF!!!! "

He says while tearing the paper document. 

I slowly walk away and  start running when I see my house nearby.

I didn't realise I was crying until I felt a wet liquid trickling on to my shirt. 

I enter my room slamming the door and hearing my mom shout ...

"Honey! Is that you! Are you okay! "

...in the background. I curl up on my bed wondering what I'll do now...

My door slowly opens and my mum comes in and gets on the bed and starts rubbing my back as she normally does when I need comfort.

After an hour or so... She finally speaks up.

"What's wrong darling... You know you can tell me anything right?" She says. 

I don't answer immediately but after five minutes... I finally reply.

"Mr Bourgeois called the deal off. " I explained.

"WHAT!!!" she screams. "WHATS WRONG WITH THAT MAN!!!! AND HE EVEN TORE THE PAPERS! HE NEEDS TO BE SUED!!!! "

"It's OK mum... What has been done has been done... Now can you please allow me to have some rest? "

She kisses my forehead and went to bed whispering how late it was already...

I just say she has mood swings every two minutes though... But she'll always be my mother.

I wonder how I'll care for her now... She may not show it but I know she's dying slowly inside... Well I promised myself I'll sleep right?  •Yawn•

"Goodnight mama, papa.... "
