It was two days before the biggest event of their lives, Choosing Day. On this special day, those who have turned 15 that year, get to choose the world they desire to live in. The Day or Night World. Priscilla was more than excited to finally spend the rest of her life with her sister Jasmine, in the Day World.
As night fell, Jasmine found herself not being able to go to sleep. Thoughts racing back and forth in her mind were interrupted when she heard laughter from outside. She peered out her window and saw a group of friends, running around and having the time of their lives. Jasmine knew they belonged in the Night World, as did she.
The Day World consisted of peace, love, those who are kind, and beautiful pinkish yellow skies. Whereas the Night World consisted of adventure, risks, those who are selfless, and dark skies filled with the brightest stars imaginable. Jasmine knew she belonged in the Night World, but couldn’t tell Priscilla. Though they were sisters, they were also best friends. Jasmine knew it would break Priscilla’s heart if she revealed the truth. Although the two sisters were complete opposites, the one thing they both loved more than anything, were hot air balloons. Every time they saw hot air balloons, they would gaze at them for hours. Mesmerized by all the different colors in the sky.
It was now one day away from Choosing Day. Priscilla barged into Jasmine’s room beyond excited for the special day tomorrow. When Jasmine saw how thrilled she was, all her thoughts about telling Priscilla were gone. They spent their last day doing their favorite thing. Watching hot air balloons. Before they knew it, the night sky had taken over.
Soon enough, they were awoken by the Choosing Day ceremonial bell. They’ve heard that bell many times, but now it was their time to choose. No matter how much Jasmine longed to live in the Night World, Priscilla was too important to her. As they rushed into the ceremony, they saw hundreds of others who were ready to choose.
The ceremony began. They went by rows, so Jasmine and Priscilla had to wait awhile before it was their turn. The rows before them were vanishing and Jasmine was becoming even more nervous, sorrowful, shaky, and Priscilla noticed. When Priscilla realized why, she knew Jasmine belonged in the Night World. Every single person in the ceremony knew exactly which world they wanted to live in, and was excited about spending the rest of their lives there. Jasmine was the only person who didn’t feel that way. Priscilla was heartbroken but knew Jasmine’s happiness was far more important. She explained to Jasmine that she needed to choose the Night World. Jasmine was shocked, but grateful Priscilla understood.
Priscilla chose the Day World and Jasmine chose the Night World. They both knew it was the right decision and every time they saw a hot air balloon, they thought of each other.
