"This place is amazing," I said as we walk into our rooms.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGR0lUEMZO

"I know. I could get used to living like this," Maisie said next to me.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrFKOfVQdT

"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMoyLPS6O0

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPkqphH9at
"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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvREmqxPruo
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdR3Eh8jFE
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqaTrYfqWU

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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vZjWlFBQ

"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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRURl8mtTQs

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWDYIo7L2r

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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixxWYd1zrY

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dIhXYBr4s

"Saffra, can I ask you something," I asked as we were walking toward the area where we were gonna be loaded onto our chariots.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zCe94m8jD
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uvp2miTw7
"Sure," she replied.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCKw6L6GX7
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WvGnyAUhE
"Why did you guys decided to put us in simple outfits this year, when every other year our district always has something extravagant," I ask746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYUZ3rEjIj
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdVzCxSpIV
"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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBOdsUMWCx
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq55z0g2eZ
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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6DKw80WFu
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfDq4XMAld
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5OqMHGcu5

"You girls are gonna do great. Just keep your heads up, smile, and wave. We believe in you," Katrin said to us.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97DebRsYT
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkpBJdZ9Mp
"We believe in you. Good luck," Saffra said and with that the doors opened and the first chariot started heading out.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzi4NOSStN
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFZNjnAjUC
"I'm nervous are you," I asked.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DCooYsvL
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ508M3INuJQ
"No, just remember what Katrin and Saffra said and you'll be fine," she said and we both looked forward again. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NvkG499PC
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMGOgyVluI
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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LgfkkfQ43
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMxViDsDH
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 this746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2bBYUgjY
