A shiver ran up Leya's spine as she spoon fed her mother the green mush she had in a bowl. It was all Leya and her mother had to eat. All they could afford since Leya's mother was sick. She couldn't do anything herself. So Leya had to help her.

And Leya was sick of it. Since she turned 13, everything had become worse for Leya. Her mom had grown sick, and Leya had to grow up fast. She had to support her mom and her now. And that was hard since she was only thirteen.

Frusrated and bored, Leya got up, told her mom she would be back soon, and left. Walking through the seam was depressing, but weirdly relaxing. It gave her enough time to think. But her thoughts were halted by a sudden tap on her shoulder. Leya flipped around only to see the face of one of her classmates. "Oh Hey. You startled me." She said. A smile stretching across her face. It was nice to have a distraction from all of the frustrations in her life.

Smile! Because you never know who's watching!

Seekress was walking along the street just chilling. Her bleach blond flowing over her shoulder. She quickly stopped to look around the seam. There was a young girl in front of her. Thirteen years old by her looks. Seekress quickly scanned the girl. Yep, she was thirteen. She flipped her hair behind her shoulders. She walked up to the girl and saw her smiling.

A seed of disgust started to sprout in her. She almost groaned is frustration until a little brown finch flew to her shoulder. " Chirps, been a while since I've seen you." Seekress murmured. Chirps warbled in response. Seekress grinned. Maybe life was bearable after all.

Seekress looked at the girl again. Maybe she wasn't too bad. Seekress confronted the girl and started to clear her throat. "Hi." was all she said. She looked straight into the girls eyes for a second than looked at the little bird. She stuck her index finger in front of the brown feathered creature.

It joyfully leaped onto her finger. Its feet clasping as best they could. Seekress whistled a two note bird whistle. He chirped in response. Seekress than jerked her head back at the girl. "Ohh. I'm Seekress, and this is my buddy Chirps." she lifted her finger. "Wanna pet him?" She asked.

Leya sized Seekress up. She had blonde hair. Unusual in District 12. But not the most unusual thing. Leya's attention quickly wandered to the brown Finch on Seekress' shoulder. Leya only ever saw birds on the trees outside of District Twelve. Weirdly enough, the bird hopped onto Seekress' finger.

When Leya was invited to pet the little bird she hesitated. But then reached her finger out and pet the little birds back. He was so soft. Leya had a cat when she was little. But when her mom got sick he ran away. She missed her bugaboo but she got over it.

Leya looked at Seekress and said " I'm Leyannah. But you can call me Leya. So whats up?" She was bored and wanted someone her age to hang out with. She hadn't had fun in a while. And maybe Seekress could become her friend. Soon, the little bird named Chirps, hoped on Leya's finger. And Leya watched in awe.

Smile! Because you never know who's watching!

Seekress giggled as Chirps jumped to Leya's finger. Seekress whistled sharply, but only the bird could hear it. He instantly fluttered up. Seekress nodded. "I havn't got much to do either, well of corse besides working at the Apothecary. Quite an interesting job. Ohh, also the Hunger Games is coming up." Seekress added with a shiver. "I can't wait." Seekress muttered to herself sarcasticly.

Seekress then whistled a six note song. Chirps came back, but instead of landing on Seekress's finger, he started twirling and flipping in the air as if he was in love. Which reminded Seekress, Chirps was in need of a friend. After a couple minutes, Chirps stopped, and started ratting up Leya's hair, being the playful bird he was.

Seekress almost gagged holding back her laugh. "He seems to like you." Seekress said between giggles. After calming down Seekress took a deep breath. " I raised him from a egg. While my Guardian and I were traveling, we found a nest on the path. I raised his siblings, but he was the only one who survived." tears started forming in her eyes, but she fought them back. This girl seemed friendly. I bet I can trust her.. Seekress decided.
