"This place is amazing," I said as we walk into our rooms.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvMzgzwCYZ

"I know. I could get used to living like this," Maisie said next to me.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeD2ArWFAv

"You girls can get settled in later, but right now we must go meet your stylist," Anika said and hurried us out of the room.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P0SwVqMQm

Asher leads me to my stylist while Anton leads Maisie to hers. We walk up to this blonde haired girl with gold eyeshadow and a vibrant dress. Typical capital outfit.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf618cZfAtx
"Hello, my name is Saffra Trembley and I am going to be your stylist. Inside there are two other girls named Vibia Mattison and Wren Ducey who will also help you get ready for the parade. You can leave now Asher," she said then lead me inside the room. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmsqJdIlaL

When inside I see a girl with blonde curly hair and pink highlights. She's wearing a bright pink dress with way to many sparkles for my liking. She introduces herself as Vibia.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU82j5Pv3MQ

Next to her stood Wren. A girl with long brown hair like me with a more duller dress than the other two. She had a dark blue dress that went down to her knees and a colorful sash. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6wHCpg5ED

"Vibia is in charge of hair and makeup while Wren is in charge of your skin hands and feet," Saffra said. "This year Maisie's stylist Katrin Meret and I have decided to do something less extravagant than years past. We have decided to do simple dresses, but more makeup and accessories. You two will show two halves almost. You will be wearing a dress that is more lighter in color, while Maisie will have a dress that is darker in color." and with that they got to work. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyDz1PdQHV

Everything was blur. All I know is that they plucked, scrubbed, waxed, scratched until my skin was as smooth as a babies bottom. God it was painful. I have never felt so invaded in my life. I felt like a specimen that was being experimented on and it did not feel good. Finally they decided I was good enough to start working on my hair and makeup.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8l64tIPwP

As Wren painted my nails an almost nude color, Vibia put caramel highlights at the tips of my hair and put it into a fancy up do which had these cool braids and all. (A/N: The hairstyle in the picture) While Saffra went and put the finishing touches on my dress for the parade. They soon decided that it was time to put me in my dress. The dress was beautiful. It had a pastel pink top that was textured perfectly with an aqua bottom with a light brown belt in the middle. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aLSKCZGgQ

They then sat me down to do my makeup and put the finishing touches. They put on a red lipstick which was really weird because I don't really like to wear lipstick. They also put on a light pink eyeshadow and some mascara to bring out my eyes a little bit more. To top it all off a nude colored bow was put in my hair and a gold necklace around my neck. We decided that I should stick to flats since I almost fell 5 times in the heels. So I was given a pair of white ballet flats.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XD4n2QUx8

"Saffra, can I ask you something," I asked as we were walking toward the area where we were gonna be loaded onto our chariots.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVnbuHJige
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARF7qswTiz
"Sure," she replied.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN0UyphEEt

"Why did you guys decided to put us in simple outfits this year, when every other year our district always has something extravagant," I ask678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZYSVVQ4sq
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgF54e2xc
"Um... We just wanted to change things up a bit," she said. I could tell there was something else, but I didn't push it. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhASlExZJq5
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALhedWZ8Pi
Maisie and her stylist were already there when we reached so I went and stood by her while our stylist discussed some things. She was wearing a dress that had a dark purple top and a patterned dark red bottom and a black belt across the center. She also had flowers on her shoulders and was wearing heels. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdF8Mpc5n
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35OvmlxiC6
"Dang Maisie. You make me feel even shorter in those heels," I said and we laughed. I was short for my age and I didn't like that all these girls wearing heels were making feel even shorter. We stood and talked for a bit until we were told to get on our chariots. I stood on the right, while Maisie was on the left. We were all pretty anxious. Our stylists came up to us.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRrHzq2mRZ

"You girls are gonna do great. Just keep your heads up, smile, and wave. We believe in you," Katrin said to us.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV1PyBgRL0
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzStT35910
"We believe in you. Good luck," Saffra said and with that the doors opened and the first chariot started heading out.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zYsvN7Q6
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1369HJg5wt
"I'm nervous are you," I asked.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VWafiMast
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvark1mkYF
"No, just remember what Katrin and Saffra said and you'll be fine," she said and we both looked forward again. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZAZbNWEoQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK6MGdaEn8
Soon, we headed out the doors and out into the capitol. I took a deep breath and did exactly what Katrin and Maisie told me. Smiled and waved. I looked onto the giant and screen and there we were standing in our chariot waving to the crowd and they were going insane. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tFwjMsbnz
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCp8EB0ihE
We continue down the avenue and soon our chariot comes to a stop next to the other one's. Man, I could get used to this678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7impb3qLA4
