The Giver Chapter 24
Today, 3:42p.m. I'm walking to the Chapel where you sign up for a spouse. Me as The Reciever Of Memory, I'm worried. The older reciever told me not to worry, he said I could choose a spouse but we could never talk, I guess I just wanted to take a chance and see what it's like.
As I walk into the building I saw Fionna signing up too. First I questioned myself, but then I just decided to go with the flow. I walked up to Fionna and started to talk. She ignored me? Oh no! Maybe the Giver was right, maybe I would loose my friends. Lately Asher hasn't talked to me either. Well I really can't talk about my job. I relized I was holding the line up because I was next. I wrote my name down on the sign up sheet and left.
I must wait at least 3 years for my pairings to be correct. If only they picked me and Fionna, then she could get to know me again like she used to. I guess It was better in the younger days.
3 years have passed. I'm going back to the Chapel. I'm waiting in line again, daydreaming as usual. Finaly I'm next, hopefully the House of Justice picked correctly.
I scan the sheet happily, but when I get down to my name, I see Lydia beside. No! I know who Lydia is, but why? She's a nerd, I say to myself.
Good thing I'll never have to talk to her, they'll be nothing to talk about, only If I LIE. I guess we were ment to be.
