Zelene

Zara

I never did think about how we got here, or why. It's not custom to think about such things. Why is that? Well because I am a lady, and ladies are meant to be well rounded. To be well rounded is to be educated in Technology, etiquette and language. My sister however is quite the opposite. She is going to get herself in trouble I am afraid. A girl at her age should be looking for a husband. Instead she parades around with those friends of hers looking for trouble. I love my dear sister I really do I just don't see things her way.

"Do you ever think about the year we are in? Like really thought about why you do the everyday things that you do?" Zelene says coughing as she offers out the tiny piece of metal.
The air around them is foggy, Geremy takes a long hit staring her in the eye.
"Or even about how no one questions it?" Wes pointed at the two of them with meaningful fingers.
The three of them stared up at the night sky hologram, out of the glass of their hide out.
"Blast! I'm late for dinner." She took off her bracelet and with a click all of the smoke in the hide out vanished. She hit the button and with a hissing sound the door retracted and she jumped out before it was finished opening and stumbled through the trash yard and down the street to her house.
(Insert something here about waving back to her friends)
"Miss Leanne, might I state that we should eat on time, even though there are those who fail to attend." Zara whining in her most pristine voice while looking at the clock. Miss Leane beamed her with a look of her own.
Zelene run all the way back to her house stopping just before she opened the front door to catch her breath and click through her outfits. Zelene stopped on an evening dress and went in.
"I am famished Miss Leanne." Casually stated before she was cut off.
"Well it's a no wonder you are famish." Miss Leanne looked at the clock. "You are twenty minutes late, this is the third time this month." She stood up with an expression on her face of realization. Walks over to Zelene and stares her in the eye. Zelene got very nervous and attempted to look her in the eye back. She knew that she was busted. Zara sat there quietly hands folded to see what would happen next.
"Leave" She said as she spun around and headed for her seat at the table.
"Where am I suppose to go?" Zelene tried to plead.
"I don't really care where you go, but don't come back until your mind is clear." The aunt said not even looking her direction but instead starting on her plate. Zara sat patiently waiting for direction. "What are you doing eat, your food is getting cold." She motioned to Zara.
Zelene quietly left.
TINK!TINK! Zelene shot little rocks from her bracelet to the second story window she knew so well. Finally impatient she started shimming up the fine fence of the house onto the porch roof which led to his window. It was always unlocked. Up went the window and she climbed in, with all of the grace that she possessed. The room was dark and the only light was the stars that danced on his ceiling. She stared up at the colors distracted and tripped backwards into a shelf.
"Light On" A deep voice from the bed demanded. In one swift motion he was up and out of bed. As soon as he who it was he relaxed, and proceeded to help her up.
"What happened did you get kicked out?" he said already knowing the answer.
"I don't want to talk about it." She said heading over to his bed and laying down.
"Okay then, we don't have to talk about it." He climbed on the other side of the bed and motioned her to his chest. They lay there content. He took pleasure in playing with her hair and she took pleasure in his heart beat. They both drifted off to sleep until the morning holographic rays came through the window.
"Hey" She said tapping her finger on his chest where she woke up.
"Hey, did you sleep well?" he yawned
"Yeah, thanks for letting me stay." She said sitting up in the bed. She looked down and then to him again. Biting her lip she turned away and hopped off the bed. She sat on the floor to put her shoes on and started to climb out the window.
"Your aware that we have a door right?" he said in his sleepy stupor half face palming.
"Of course but this is much nicer." She said disappearing out the window.
The walk back to her house she had a gut churning feeling. Facing her aunt was a chore. They always but heads and could never see eye to eye. There is so much more to life then what they are allowing us to live. Ive passed all of there tests I am meant to be here so why isn't there a place for me?
What I do is grown, she cant even say that about her food. Everything is processed. Nothing makes sense. We are living as a society just surviving! Aunt doesn't even see any of that she just sees something out of the ordinary and that's it. Her stomach churned half with anger half from lack of food. In two months Ill be old enough, to apply for my own living quarters and then ill never have to worry.
She stopped at the edge of her street and looked at the time displayed in the hologram clouds. No need in going to the house now. Id just have to leave work again in 20 minutes. If I head in early Ill get some over time anyway.
She turned around and walked back the way she came, heading for the work center. The work center was a place where anyone could work. It is also another one of the main sources of power for the city. The city's power is based off of here and the suburbish area is less power so it only requires lunar energy and we have 3 moons so its plenty. At the power center, once your proven fit enough you do various activities. Sleep studies are done her but I heard that they shock you so Im not to keen on such. Others are where you place your feet in these grips and you push them with your feet around in a circle. It sounds more complicated than is it(insert her walking through to describe everything). Another is quite simple whenever the light shows up on the screen you select that color on the floor with your foot. (design more things that are monotonas things to do and seem simple but actually use force to create power) This keeps everyone fit.
I choose the pedal. It's my favorite and it allows me to just think. Other people get bored of the cycle but I cant ever find myself bored.
Geremy and Wesley show up soon after. Hope onto the cycles next to me.
"So how much trouble did you get into last night?" Wesley says
"How do you know I got in any trouble at all?" Zelene said curios and trying to get out of the conversation.
"Because Grant ask if you were okay, and we knew since he was involved you had to of been in some kind of crap." Geremy said
"yeah well I just wanted to go strait to sleep and I knew if I came over one of your houses youd keep bothering me about it." Zelene said defending herself. Geremy and Wesley don't care for grant because he is quiet and keeps to himself. When ever we ask him to come out with us he always refuses.
"You know its because we care" they both offer there hands and I smile and smack both of them.
With that the conversation is over a smile crept across my face, and we continued to work.
