"This place is amazing," I said as we walk into our rooms.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzPlp1U3Cb

"I know. I could get used to living like this," Maisie said next to me.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUbJkDuvM

"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7ZOFW8wUL

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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJC4EXxUq
"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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tSrGQj9Bf
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoRGF8snEB
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dKcsng5ye

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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxGBF6PfIW

"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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUOjcgxXH9

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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLe0GAPpu6

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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPPcYT0mvW

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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79pNtQvdu5

"Saffra, can I ask you something," I asked as we were walking toward the area where we were gonna be loaded onto our chariots.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgySSH90Em
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VcQCmfP8X
"Sure," she replied.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3NDUKspum
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZdJgPKgT4
"Why did you guys decided to put us in simple outfits this year, when every other year our district always has something extravagant," I ask744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk2PXOXvng
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PP8mJsqsj
"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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlOHvgAlY
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbcNT2U0HP
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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oq9zxDpy4
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz792nF9LZW
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcTy788yMK

"You girls are gonna do great. Just keep your heads up, smile, and wave. We believe in you," Katrin said to us.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yL3BuedKJ
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQs9UNmEm
"We believe in you. Good luck," Saffra said and with that the doors opened and the first chariot started heading out.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDVfPlpU8J
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLDcUdlRmv
"I'm nervous are you," I asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvfMFHxxSM
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGppTmncdkx
"No, just remember what Katrin and Saffra said and you'll be fine," she said and we both looked forward again. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy40SVHBoh6
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStx6OiGekg
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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz6Y4o80dg
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqApvrwAkt
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 this744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfc3qgtYyZ
