"This place is amazing," I said as we walk into our rooms.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmhFgy3g5p

"I know. I could get used to living like this," Maisie said next to me.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ryz9Fmr9v

"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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHYB3oLYO8

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bOUOlha5a
"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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJvOJOLwNf

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR75I65YC1

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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HZt2GyJe7

"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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aEQ3Nx9Ow

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQo0ehaMoN

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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESi9Ealg3e

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IrVAajjgl

"Saffra, can I ask you something," I asked as we were walking toward the area where we were gonna be loaded onto our chariots.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnZRNwOTA4
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqseSuCPrc2
"Sure," she replied.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpDhnGR1JF
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgGSfeJX3J
"Why did you guys decided to put us in simple outfits this year, when every other year our district always has something extravagant," I ask676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HemfHU2FO
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PTtpSoZri
"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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7JExYIiOI
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhR6IYXdyS
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFMqCykStO
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZER0grXM
"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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcxZ7uSNbm

"You girls are gonna do great. Just keep your heads up, smile, and wave. We believe in you," Katrin said to us.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCFPvO21Mk
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGyye8pCHT
"We believe in you. Good luck," Saffra said and with that the doors opened and the first chariot started heading out.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGKnhdF0lk
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET3X6AiPO2
"I'm nervous are you," I asked.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cM7ep2VR
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyYXpLRzC3
"No, just remember what Katrin and Saffra said and you'll be fine," she said and we both looked forward again. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5L0VFOxN4
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPXJ62NaUB
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TbjVeRsCj
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTW4CpIV2W
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 this676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasYykbnbQV
