Today was the day we met our contestants on the show “Will it win?” The goal was to make an outstanding meal that would win the judges' votes, both in taste and appearance.

My mom taught me to cook, which was our favorite one-on-one time. We’d watch cooking shows, and vote on who’d win. Whoever won the bet, had to make dessert that night.

Walking into the building, Jitters and nerves rushed through my stomach.

“Hello!” A short woman announced. “And your name is?”

“Oh—“ I came back to earth. “My name's Marleyn.”

“Gorgeous name, right this way.”

She takes me to a private room. “Here, they’ll do your makeup and get you ready to be on camera.”

“Thank you so much.”

“You're welcome, oh, and there are snacks over here.” She gestured towards a table with a huge variety of foods and beverages.

“Wow—“ I gasp lightly, my eyes wide.

“Yes, you’ll have a great time here.” She winked, then left. Why did she wink?

_ _They picked out a red dress, which apparently, “Brought out my blue eyes and dirty blonde hair.” Makeup and hair were done, it looked natural but felt decently heavy.

They wanted us to meet on camera for an extra layer of tension. Everyone met in the room, blindfolded.

“3…2..1…!” The director yelled.

We took our blindfolds off.

I look around, sizing my opponents. 2 ladies, 3 men. When I tell you, I felt my mouth open, they must’ve picked talented people with looks, everyone looked like they’d come from Paris fashion week.

A woman with long black hair—walked on the mini stage.

“Hello everyone! Welcome to, “Will it win?” She spoke with such enthusiasm, definitely the host.

“Let’s introduce everyone. This is Bethany.” She pointed to a petite blonde, a huge smile, and red lips.

“Oh… I forgot to mention, I won’t give any details about their baking experience, you’ll just have to see for yourself.” The host—grinned.

“Renan—“She pointed to a tall, fluffy-haired, gorgeous man. My breathing stopped at the sight.

He smiled, slightly nodding.

His eyes found mine, and I looked away, blushing.

“And lastly, as you might have guessed, I am your host—Melisa.”

“Now you may talk amongst yourself. You will have a 10-minute break, while we finish setting the cameras up, Then we will start.”

“Hello, I’m Marleyn,” I said, shaking the lady's hand next to me, Rachel, I think.

Renan came up to me, and my eyes widened. “Nice to meet you, Marleyn?” He has a deep but relaxing voice. Now I know why the greeting lady, winked at me. Oh heaven, please help me stay focused.

“Yes,” I nod, smiling with my cheeks.

“It’s good to meet you,” He replied.

“It’s good to meet you as well.”

As we’re shaking hands, Electricity shoots through me.

I’m in love. I’m in love! I’m in love!
