Ah the world of the beauty pageant.  I'm sorry. I should have said the scholarship pageant.  It isn't politically correct to say beauty pageant anymore.  But that doesn't stop Presley from wanting the win.  She can't afford the evening gown and she is trying to keep her participation a secret.  And now her arch-rival Megan, who was practically born wearing a sash and crown is entering the same pageant.  It's a fight to the finish and nothing is out of bounds.  Internet pictures, rumors, and anything else that will cost someone the crown.
