"So," Allie began loudly, filling the parlor with her voice. "How is everyone? Did you all have a good trip?"

Zaera paused before responding, "I'm fine, tough I can't speak for the others. As for my trip it went well as well."

Alli smiled and nodded, waiting for another answer.

"I was okay, I guess." Aza shrugged.

Janie walked up the steps of the palace, staring up in awe. It was even more beautiful than the pictures. She walked in and looked around, slightly unsure of where to go. She asked a nearby maid, who told her the Selected were to meet in the parlor. Janie had a little trouble finding it, but finally opened a door, where a few girls who looked about her age were talking. "Is this the parlor?" she asked.

Talin continued his walk around the castle as he looked for something to do. His father was probably off talking to someone and his mother and the Selected were all in the parlor, where he wasn't allowed to go. Eventually he sighed and headed back to his room, wondering what he could do to keep busy. Heading to the garden sounded fun, but he was in a nice suit and changing again didn't sound like it was worth the trouble.

Zaera looked to the new girl and responded with a kind smile, "Yes this is the parlor."

Jane smiled. "Thank you." She walked into the room and in front of the girl who had spoken to her. She held out her hand. "Jane Sperry."

Zaera took the hand and shook it, "Zaera Pentlo. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Jane smiled as she shook the girl's hand. "The pleasure is all mine. May I sit?" she asked, indicating a nearby chair. Keep your enemies closer, she thought to herself. That's what her sister had told her. That, and that there was no room for friends in the selection, but Janie didn't believe that.

"Of course," Zaera responded kindly. She knew this girl was going to be her opponent later on, but for now they could be friends.

"So what are your feelings about all this?" Jane asked as she sat down, gesturing to the room around her. "Being selected, I mean."

"It's nice I suppose," Zaera responded trying to appear indifferent, "How about yours?"

"Well, I never expected it, but I'm certainly grateful for the opportunity." In truth, Jane had been shocked. SHe had only applied because that's what every girl her age did, that's what you were supposed to do. But then she actually won, and everything was different.

"I suppose most girls here are," Zaera hadn't been exactly happy to hear she had been selected. She had a great life already, no need for her to move up in the world. If anything, Zeara wanted to go down in class.
