Brighter Inside

I was Late, for the most important day in my life! Assignment Day, the day when I get my job in Ember, I opened the door and began racing towards the hall where it was held. Everyone greeted me but all I said in reply was "I'm late!" they nodded as I passed them.
Ember was big city, so I had to jump around duck and such just to make it to the hall.
When I actually saw it I ran as fast as I can but then it stopped right there and I fell. I opened my eyes to see a boy, looks about Doon's Age but somewhat younger or older I didn't know. It was nice of him to help me up, but when our hands met I felt my tingle. When I got up the lights started to flicker and the next thing I know I'm in the dark in an unknown boys arms. Safely raped around his arms, I looked up and counted mentally. It took a while but they went back on, when they did we broke the embrace and I sprinted after the back door, guess what he sprinted after me.
When we got there he opened the door for me, I looked away to hide my blush at what he just did. We both got in; I was to desperate to get to my seat I hadn't thought that the Mayor would notice. Luckily the boy appeared ahead of me and made an excuse about something, I took the chance to sit down. When he saw I was sitting he sat down himself.
He sat next to Doon one of my friends, who was great at making stuff. They started chatting about stuff, but what I didn't notice till the Mayor took out the bag. I was starring right at him, this guy that I just bump into earlier. Something was about him I just don't know yet.
The bag got closer and closer, Joss got a job at the Generator. Oh Doon wanted to work in the Generator I wonder how he's feeling right now. When the bag got to me, I put my hand inside full of hope. But it all went away when I said "Pipe works" Really me at Pipe Works?
I shook my thoughts off when the boy got the bag. He reached inside the bag, his hand shaking the bag back and forth, till he took out a slip. When he looked at it, his eyes said that he was either surprise or excited. He looked at me the whole time, which made me blush a little, just a little I doesn't mean anything!
