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.
