The Things I Write

After lunch, Maxon asked me if I wanted to go on a stroll in the garden, so I agreed. I got glared at by Celeste and Emmica, so I just smiled and waved. After flicking the bow around my waist at them, of course.

"So, tell me, Lady Elizabeth," Maxon started, "What was your life like, before the Selection."

At breakfast, someone brought up America's 'date' with Prince Maxon. I wouldn't call it a date, considering dates aren't supposed to end with someone getting kneed in the groin. I had watched the entire thing from my balcony in my room. I had been feeling annoyed after breakfast yesterday and I glared at my wall for a while, which made me feel better.

Although I shouldn't be a hypocrite. One of my dates with my ex boyfriend, Haven, ended up with us getting in trouble with the police. Luckily no arrests were made, although my parents weren't to happy with me getting a public indecency ticket. It was my idea to go skinny dipping, but it wasn't my idea for Haven's best friend, Sage, to come along. I'm still not sure who called the police.

The next morning, I was dressed in a knee-length silver dress. My name tag was pinned to the thick strap of my dress. The pleated, frilly skirt part of the dress had diamonds inlaid in it. There was a bow sash around the waist that had sapphires on the bow. Did any of my ancestors mine for these? I wondered.

Cho had put light blue eyeliner on me to make my ‘dark blue eyes pop’ and Marilyn combed out my black hair and braided a lock of my hair. After getting me ready, they wished me luck and I reminded them to ask about sending food to my family.

Once we were gathered, I looked at the gilded mirror again. It was all so weird to be pampered like this.

“Did you really pick out that dress?” someone asked me.

I was ushered out of my room and into the Women's Room. I couldn't help but think that the name was stupid. They couldn't have called it the Entertainment Room or Main Room since we're going to be in here longer or something?

When Emily got home, she tore the dress off. She put on some ripped skinny jeans and her favorite band tee-shirt. She removed the pins from her hair and shook it out, feeling free. She opened the window and went to put a CD in her stereo, turned it to the number that her favorite song was on. She turned it all the up and the song Sad But True by Metallica came blasting out through the speakers.

( She couldn't help but jump onto her bed and started headbanging and air guitar. )

I'm kind of, sort of, new to this whole website, even though I was over at LiveJournal before I came here. I'm trying to get situated over here, so my journal entries are backed up in the Queue because I was trying to import them from my previous account. I kind of got tired of looking at the blank nothingness of my journal page.

I'm kind of exploring the journal thing at the moment. Once I figure out what to actually post, I'll post it. Maybe I'll delete this one afterwards or something. Maybe it'll have to do with my interests.

A/N: Okay, I checked out the book Life and Death from the public library. I wanted to see how McKayla is described and do some "research". She's described as a cute baby-faced, blond haired girl, who flat-irons it. Weird, I pictured her having brown hair.

It all started when Daniel first moved to Forks. He saw McKayla and thought that she was cute.

Author's Note: I actually never read the Life and Death book, so I'm guessing that Beau either gets a little nauseous or he helps someone down to the nurse's office. I'm going with he gets a little sick.

Beau was sitting on a bed in the nurse's office, still reeling from the blood typing class.
