I'm happy some people are liking this ^^
I slowly walk back to Lily and the others. "If you must Wiress." What does that mean? and how did he know my name? "Wiress..." Lily hit my arm lightly. "Yes - Yes Lily?" I asked, turning around. "You were daydreaming." Lily said, handing me a bag again, and putting soot inside. "Sorry..." I say, sighing softly. "It's okay. Hey did you see that Beetee guy, the one who won the Hunger games, he's here looking at the factory-" I stop her. "Ya It had a blow out a few days ago, he told me." I say, then my eyes grow wide. "You were talking to Beetee?" Lily said, her mouth dropping open
"Yes."
"What was it like?"
"Okay..."
"I wish I was you!" Lily said, I started to think about what she said. So what, I talked to Beetee, if I go into the games, he'll know me! I picked up the soot filled bag and walked out of the factory, she stopped for a minute and sighed. "Taking bags of soot from the factories would be alot more easy if we could just have a machine to put the soot bags in and melt them, then maybe we could use them, other then just putting back in an old house that will most likely go up in flames!" I hiss, picking up the bag again. "And how would that work, my dear?" I stop at thet voice. Why? why is it always Beetee who asks me random things. I turn around and see two black eyes looking into my own. How would it work? I think a little bit before smiling.
"Well, you could have a heat machine where you put the bags in and then melt them, and as we know, soot becomes hot when melted, it's like 12's coal dust! it becomes watery when melted, then if we kept it hot, we could use it to heat our houses, much better then oil!" I say, hopping he'd get what I'm trying to say.
"You know, Wiress, that is very good..." Beetee smiled and laughed a little. "If you want I can bring it up?" He asked. I can't believe this, Beetee, the Beetee wants to use something I came up with! It's a dream come true!
"Sure - sure." I say. Here goes my talking again... "Lovely." Beetee said. "You know Wiress, you're smart, much smater then alot of other girls I've met." Beetee says, smiling. "What are you doing carring soot bags around? you should be making things for the factories!" Beetee says loudly, I smile shyly. "I don't think anyone would want me to make things - I'm - I'm not best-" Beetee cuts me off. "Wiress, you're better then the best, trust me, I've seen girls your age, what are you? 19-"
"17..." I say slowly. What's that I see in his eyes, pain?
"Right...17, he said looking down a little. "I remember being 17..." he said and looked away. "Wiress, I want you to help me make this, it will help with the soot, and no houses will go up in flames!" Beetee says, smiling again. "What you say?" He asked
I can't believe this, my day just keeps geting more and more lucky. "Sure..." I say smiling. I remember him, I remember his games, I remember hoping he'd come home. "Lovely..." Beetee said. I only now see how close I'm standing from him, I could kiss him...
"We'll start work on monday, you know where my house is right?" Beetee said, I nod slowly. Yes, it's easy, it's the one at the end. "I'll see you then..." Beetee said, taking out his notebook and putting something down. I see him looking under his glasses at me and smile. My face must be as red as it can get... "Lily!" I shout running back inside. "Guess what..." I say, cutting myself off as I see a fly flying around. "What?" Lily asks, hitting my arm lightly. "I'm going to be working with...Beetee..." I say, the words only not sinking in. I'm working with Beetee, I'm working with a guy who I could call my mentor, not for the games! but for this work. I'm working for Beetee! "Oh, my wires!" Lily said. "I'm so happy for you!" Lily said, running off, most likely to tell the others.
But something is still pulling at my heart.
