Audrey & Third Person

Audrey's POV

1 woke up carlier than usual for the announcement ceremony-too excited to s. -p any longer. Over the course of the next hour, I painstakingly dressed myself in a sleek black mini dress, curled my hair, and did my makeup.

I wanted to look perfect; because today was the day that my friends and I might be crossing the stage in front of all of Grayspring Academy to accept our badges and move to the next portion of the fashion show competition.

"I doubt it," I retorted, looking away from Tina's piercing gaze as though that would somehow hide the fact th my face was as red as a fresh beet.

As we made our way out of the dorms and toward the auditorium, the fresh morning air hit my skin and relaxed me a bit. Up ahead, Gavin and Betty were already waiting. The five of us.
