princess selection camp

I finally gave my parents a positive answer concerning my participation in the selection ceremony though left, when I walked out of the parking lot saying that they have made their choice and its left to me to make mine, I never imagined that I will be Calling them back to give a positive answer........the only thing at the back of my mind then was to disobey them and run away. I have ways been a rational person in my relationship with Maddie and I don't do things without thinking about the consequences first while Maddie takes actions first before pondering on the consequence but this time around when it felt like my sensibility went on vacation, Maddie was there to advise me and put me on the right track so it was just like we switched our roles. I decided to take Maddie's advice to allow what I want to do the most to motivate me and when I called my mom to give her the news, she replied with a "now you are talking" trying to mask the excitement in her voice. my mom also wanted us to talk about what happened at the restaurant, the whole severing ties stuff but I pretended I wasn't hearing her properly cutting the call because I wasn't ready to listen to her excuses.........this time around I just didn't want to slip into my role of being the understanding daughter that I always am. Later that day, my stepfather credited my account with money, and in the transaction description, I saw selection process expenses and that made me smile sadly. though my mom always taught me to call anyone that sends money to acknowledge the gift, this time around it was different because I just didn't feel like talking to my stepfather so I just sent him a plain thank you so that he can rest assured that I got the money. I didn't call him because I have absolutely nothing to say to him, and the fact that I agreed to enter the selection and probably have forgiven him after the stunt he pulled by almost sabotaging my relationship with my mom doesn't mean that I will be able to forget the incidence so easily because it's still very fresh in my mind The rest of the week went down with me having so much to do with the selection I decided to join. After submitting an application which is the first step of participating in the selection process which my stepfathers did in my stead, there was a letter of acceptance and other instructions in the file that was handed over to me, that I didn't bother to go through because of the state I was in.......... I had no idea that there was something lie that I side the file and possibly because of how I handled the file, my letter of acceptance slipped out without me noticing so I had to photocopy my best friend's copy for reference. The was nothing spectacular about the letter of acceptance, instead, it was just to congratulate participants for successfully entering the competition, followed by instructions about the things we need to prepare for the pageant. firstly, We were asked to prepare a modeling portfolio which I looked up to be a collection of photographs that are taken to show the model's range and ability after checking what it entails on google and going through a few examples. Maddie was so invested in planning for everything, and among the two of us it is undebatable that she is the fashion guru because of how much she cares about her looks and she was always on Pinterest checking out styles and photoshoot inspiration,........I even promised to follow her instructions to the letter when it involved the selection process because it felt like she knew exactly what she was doing concerning the modeling portfolio, We were asked to 4 types of photos and left to me, I wanted to do my all beauty shoots without makeup but because of how Maddie kept on nagging, I allowed her to apply a trace amount of makeup for me allowing my dark brown coils to fall to my shoulder. I wasn't allowed to snap with my beautiful cat eyeglasses because Maddie kept on nagging about how she didn't like the idea of it, she even shamelessly used the promise I made to her against me, so I just had to obey her. As for the second picture in my portfolio which is my full-length body shoot, Maddie made me wear form-fitting clothing against my wish because she said that what they will like to see are my proportions and body size.......so I just had to obey but this time around she allowed me to use my glasses because it's not one of those old fashioned framed ones at all, it's a cat-eye design that I decorated with a few colored stones to male it looks fashionable. As for the last two pictures, there wasn't supposed to be any big deal about it because it was just supposed to be a smiling shot, something like my beauty shot it's just that I wasn't allowed to smile in a beauty shot while a smiling shot requires me to smile, then lastly my closing shoot. Maddie was so particular about the pictures, which in her word she wanted to come out a bomb, she even made us go through the whole photoshoot countless times with different photographers before choosing the very best and compiling it. My Maddie may not be a perfectionist when it comes to her academics, but once its fashion related she goes all out for it and that is making me wonder why she is studying law instead of a fashion course. its no doubt that those photographers had enough of Maddie giving them a tough time and at the end of the day those pictures came out like a work of art. when I saw the pictures, I was astonished because I have never really been the type to put so much time and energy into photoshoots so I can proudly say that it was worth the stress. This morning I am going with a white and black polka dot palazzo pant with a black body con top to match, quickly putting a black headband over my coils to hold them in place and prevent them from flying around. I am rushing so much this morning because we are running late and that is Maddie's fault Today is the day That we are to report at the selection camp and I deliberately slept in late this morning switching off my 6 am alarm because it wasn't my turn to make breakfast at all today. I had no idea that Maddie didn't start coking immediately she woke up, neither did she make any food preparations. By the time I woke up around 8 am I saw her busy doing her makeup, and I remember asking her about breakfast but she just replied nonchalantly saying that cooking will come after her make-up. After waiting for a few minutes for her to round up her makeup and she refused to do it retouching and retouching her already nice makeup, I knew from that moment that she was going to end up not cooking anything after pilling series of excuses as to why she couldn't do it So instead of taking my time to dress up as I planned to do earlier as per making a nice first impression, I was busy making pancakes. I didn't want to leave the house without eating because we are going to an environment that we have never been to, we have no idea of how things are done there and most importantly if we were to eat out it will tell on my budget and I didn't want that to happen because I have had to spend so much the previous week. After making pancakes, Maddie sat down comfortably to eat them with orange juice while I had to multitask by getting ready and eating my food simultaneously. at the end of the day, Maddie was dressed in a white jumpsuit, of course properly packaging her d cup breast with her lush ombre hair perfectly curled, her make up nicely done to complement her beige skin tone making her look really beautiful while the only form of makeup I could do after having so much high spirit about dressing up was to add mascara to my lashes. "I hope you won't be picking anything again??"I ask Maddie picking up my traveling box while she was standing outside the door checking a hand mirror "Just lock the door" she answered nonchalantly I backed Maddie with my box in front of me quickly surveying the room to be double sure that I didn't forget anything, only for Maddie to rush into the room and as a result, she made me collide with the box in front of me making my cat eyeglasses to fall off "Oh my God Maddie what have you done!"I screamed taping on the floor with my palm to locate my glasses because everything was just blurry and I couldn't see properly "A so sorry babe please forgive me, that wasn't intentional at all," she says rushing in and putting my glasses in my hands, and with that, I put on my glasses but the glasses she gave me didn't give me the same result that I had a few minutes ago "Is my glasses looking very bad??"I ask Maddie hinting her to rate my overall appearance with the cracked glasses "Very bad" she replied handing me the mirror she was checking earlier "I need to find my spare glasses, "I say moving over to my corner as I start to scatter my things "why don't you use your contacts instead??"Maddie asks "You know that I will always pick my glasses because it is comfortable," I say dismissing it "Do you want to at the end the selection in glasses that makes you look like a nerd??"Maddie pressed for an answer but I ignored her and continued to search for my glasses. I am starting to think that Maddie has something to do with my glasses disappearing because she doesn't like my spare glasses one bit " you have been searching for that glasses for the past five minutes and We are running late, if we don't go now we may not make it in time and if we don't, I won't forgive you easily for it" Maddie threatens "Seriously??? you have the nerve to say that??? who refused to prepare breakfast?? who bumped into me??? whose fault is it that we are late???"I ask starting to get irritated "I admit that its all my fault, but if you refuse to wear these contacts now it will be your fault," she says adding the solution to the contact lenses before passing it to me "Do you want to do it?"I ask her because I had no choice but to use the contacts "Yeah, allow me to wash my hand again so that you don't start tearing up, "Maddie says rushing to the bathroom to wash her hands and in no time she came back, helped me put on the contact, and we went outside to meet Maddie's driver already waiting for us
