This is going to be a story about a girl named Kambry Matts, she lives in district 12. BTW i might not be able to update each day but i will try. also sorry for the title being just her name i couldn't think of anything else sorry.

"Kambry?"

"Yeah!" I yelled down the hall to my best friend, Quierra. She always found me, always. I'm from the seam, she lives near by but has a smaller family. I have 3 brothers and an older sister. Quierra has a baby sister. My parents work in the mines but that is barely enough money to feed us. My sister, her name is Xylia, and I gather food in the meadow but that doesn't help during winter when there is 6 feet of snow on the ground.

"You weren't in history today. What happened?" Well the truth was I had been with my boyfriend, Broden, but I wasn't going to tell her that. Nobody knew we were together or even friends.

"Who is he?" Did I mention she can read me like a book?

"Who? I just had something to do, um, community service." I said a little too quickly. She raised an eyebrow. "Well better get off to English." I hurried down the hall until I realized I was going the wrong way. I turned and walked back past Quierra, staring at the ground. She followed right on my heel. She was supposed to have another history lesson, but she asked my teacher if she could stay and sat right next to me. Broden was in this class. He kept glancing sideways at me. I kept my eyes locked on my pronouns and pretended not to notice. Quierra started to notice how hard I was concentrating, considering I was usually laid back and a slacker she kept looking around at all the guys. Her eyes landed on Broden, of course he sudden became very interested in his work. She glanced back and forth between him and me. Her face lit up with shock and I couldn't tell if she wanted to smack me or hug me.

Broden was the blacksmith's son. He had jet black hair and paler skin than most, he had a large circle of friends and had just broken up with Darley, a popular merchant girl. I, on the other hand was a short brunette with olivey skin and grey eyes; the usual for the seam. I was nothing special, I wasn't even very nice.

She had squirmed around for the rest of class.

When the bell rang she grabbed my arm and dragged me to the girls' bathroom.

"Broden! It's Broden! Darley's boyfriend!"

"He isn't her boyfriend." I say like I don't know what this is about.

"Is he yours?" I took a glance at the door and bolted. I wasn't much faster but I was ruder and didn't mind pushing people, she on the other hand felt she had to apologize for looking at people.

I knew where I was heading; anywhere but here. Of course, I had to run into Broden talking to Darley on my way out; which I could not pass up listening to.

"So how about we go to the meadow later?" had she just asked out my boyfriend? I was about to kill her but I wanted to hear his answer.

"Sorry I, uh, I have plans." Yeah he had plans, we had plans.

"With who?" she says utterly shocked.

"My girlfriend, I have to go." He came walking toward me and I came up beside him.

"Quierra knows." I say as discreetly as possible. He gives me a look that could be taken as worry or annoyance, but I'm sure it's both.

"I want to talk meet me at the mine, west opening. 10 minutes." We always went around like this, not wanting to be seen together. Quierra was in sight again. I nodded and left through a closet with a door that was "locked", like that would stop me. Quierra followed me and I blew through the streets, with her right behind. I circled around in a few places and then charged for the mine. Broden was waiting outside I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the elevator. I slammed my fist on the door close button, the door started to close quickly, but Quierra was quicker. She slid in just between the doors.

"I knew it!" she yelled out throwing her arms up. I looked to Broden.

"What's the point now, cats out of the bag." He said like he didn't care but I knew he did.

"Ok, yes you were right." I never liked saying that; being found out was one of my pet peeves.

"You have to tell me everything."

"Maybe later" I leaned into Broden, didn't matter now who saw, everyone would know by tomorrow. Quierra leaned into the wall, I could tell she wanted someone, she was afraid of the mine. She had lost her older brother to the mines and feared the same fate.

Reeeeeeeeeeee-eeee-eeee-sththththththth- cling

The elevator made strange sounds; Quierra screamed and ran over to hold Broden with me. I had a small pang of jealousy when he pulled her into his chest, but that was instantly replaced by adrenaline because the elevator was no longer attached to the shaft.
