SWNOVELS Chapter 3: The Announcement
I looked around and found familiar faces from the crowd, some of them are neighborhoods, friends and mostly are my classmates and one of them is Faye. The excitement can’t be hide, when the king’s right hand show the paper list.
“Listen carefully ladies as I called your name, please come here in front. ” the man said, then started to call the names.
“First, Miss Freda Grey...” he said,
Everybody’s screaming when the first name called. Freda is beautiful and looked elegant in her above the knee pitch dress.
“Gee-Ann Norton....
“Saicy Will...
“Arnee Green...
“Phoebe Osbourne...
“Gaile Freeman...
“Faye Hinson....
I’m so happy when Faye been called, I hug her tights and wish her goodluck. I know shes very happy for the result. Then she joined the ladies. The man continued to called the name, until it reach the fourteenth position and only one position has been left. Everyone’s praying and hoping that there name will called.
“And now, only one left. Who will be the luckiest fifteenth? I know everyone is nervous and hoping. But, let me tell you this. The last lady who will be called, she’s the last person who register from the online website of the kingdom.
“The Fiftenth lady is Miss Chloe Margarette Hamilton”, he announced. My world suddenly goes up side down, I don’t know what to think. Maybe, the man was wrong calling my name. Or I have the same name, but its impossible because every name here in kingdom is different from the others. So it’s so impossible.
But how? I don’t even remember registering and I don’t even bother visiting the Kingdoms website. Then suddenly, someone came into my head. Amber. I find her with my two eyes and I saw her at the corner, smiling at me. Congratz. she whispered. I was about to step when I hear my name.
“Miss Chloe Margarette Hamilton.. he once called. Everyone is looking at me, I can’t run and I can’t hide anymore because they know me. I’m in trouble. It’s all your fault Amber. Grrr.....
I have nothing to do but to walked. I felt like my body can’t moved. Im shaking. Then, I saw Faye with a lot of questions in her eyes.
Clap...
Clap...
Clap...
Everybody’s claping. Screaming. Talking.
“King William, let me present to you the fifteen ladies who will join the competion..” he said, then the King stood.
“I’m so grateful that you ladies has the determination to win this competition. I’m so sorry, that Prince David can’t be here today to see how beautiful you all ladies. But don’t worry, you will meet him soon. For now, Froilan will give you the instructions. Thank you everyone for joining and Goodluck ladies.” he said, then started to walk together with Prince Dale and Princess Kaitlyn.
