Emergance [Open Post]

I find myself running into another boy. Near my height, but really thin. No more than the usual malnourished kids around here. My glance at him after the collision was initially angry. Like a "What's your problem?" type of attitude. But I revised and calmed down. "Sorry. I guess I didn't see you..." Is what my mind decides to quickly reply with. I didn't want to start anything...today anyway. I kept shuffling as I made it past him, seeing a large scar that ran across his face. I wonder what happened there? I shrugged it off and turned back onto my original path.

I glanced upwards quickly as I left the market, after having heard thunder off in the distance. The sun was still out, but I could definitly see dark clouds off in the distance; towards the east I think. I ignored it for now and started trekking back down the dirt road that was lined with all the houses. I've always wondered what it must be like to live in a home. Without all of the other ophans sleeping together, eating together, bathing together... I sighed deeply, thinking now into why I was never adopted after 6 whole years. I tried to keep this depressing feeling down as I kept walking.

As I am making my way down the road, I happen to see a girl looking out of her window. Blonde and pale, she seemed happy. Happier than I have ever felt when waking up in the orphanage. I don't remember much from when my parents were alive. I remember how they died and what they look like, but not memories with them. None that are happy, sad, or mad. I guess I must have suppressed them at some point in my life to spare myself from the pain. I could see the orphanage now and the rain began, a light sprinkle was all so far.

I smiled as the cold, wet rain fell onto my face. I loved rain, It felt relaxing and pleasent. I see the boy I had bumped into before. I hope that didn't anger him. I look over to my right and see a little boy wandering off from the orphanage I was guessing. I run over to the little boy who looked not a day older then 2, And i smiled. "Come ere' little guy", I say pleasently so he wont get afraid. The boy was hesitant for a moment then comes right to me. I pick him up and carry him to the boy I had seen earlier. "Do you know where the orphanage is?" I ask. "Sorry if I interuppted your conversation." I quickly say...

As the rain began to pick up more now, I heard a door open and swing back close. Followed by the soft steps of someone behind me. I stopped and turned back around quickly, expecting to have to fight with a beggar. Or even the guy from earlier who happened to have a bad temper. But it was neither of these; and when I noticed this, I stopped mid-turn. Glancing around slightly. She's coming towards me. No, she sees someone behind me. Her eyes make contact with mine. Nope. She's coming to me. I could almost literally see happiness pouring out of her. I was so confused since a girl has never initiated conversation with me in so long, I kind of blanked out for a moment. I'm sure I looked crazy in her eyes, staring at her like she was invisible. I was so caught off guard it even took me a couple seconds to register that she even said anything. I shut my eyes tight and shook my head quickly before remaking eye contact. "Uhmm hey. My name is-" I get cut off by someone walking a kid over to us. The guy from earlier...and he has Rodger with him.

He asks if I knew where the orphanage is. "Yeah. I do, I'm actually on my way there now", I look at Rodger and crouch down, "I don't know how he got so far out, but I'll take him back with me, thanks." I gave the boy from earlier a courteous smile and nod before picking up Rodger. "Wave bye to the nice man Rodger." I say in a softer than normal voice. The voice I always use when talking to younger kids. He does a 'open hand, close hand' wave and I smile at his cuteness. He then hids his face in my neck. I look back to the two and open my mouth to answer the girl, Fern. Man, she was actually really pretty. My eyes catch the bakers daughter coming out of the shop with bread and I hear her ask if anyone wanted some. Of course everyone wanted some. My mind went straight to thinking of little Rodger and I walked past the two in front of me. "Excuse me." I state softly, but I'm sure loud enough to for them to hear. When I got to her, there was a good 4 or 5 skin-and-bone beggars around her, I stood behind them and raised my hand. "Hey!" I start with to simply get her attention, then lower my voice back to regular tone. "Do you think I could have a piece or two for this little guy? He's an orphan..." I look back to him peeking away from my neck and I can't help but let a small smile grow on my lips. I bounce him up to get his legs in a better postion, higher above my hips so it would be more comfortable for us both, as I waited for a reply.

I could tell this was probably a bad idea, with the number of beggars that had gotten here by now. She seemed a bit overwhelmed probably couldn't even see me back here. A pitiful excuse for smile slowly crawls across my face as I begin to look down at Rodger's small face. "Well little guy, maybe next time." It hurt me to say it, but I'm sure he has experienced many more disappointments in his lifetime. Even being as young as he is.

As I began to turn, I noticed the crowd going crazy. Just like the flip of a switch, over the bread I assumed. But just before I could fully turn, the sound of feet sloshing in the rain became more apparent as they got closer. I turn to see blonde hair, darkened by the rain that now happened to be picking up more. This hair was surrounding one of the kindest faces I've ever seen around District 11. Her smile seemed just as sincire as her actions. She handed Rodger some leftover bread and he began eating it promptly. I could hear him chewing in my ear as I looked at this girl, Mallory. Mallory....Mallory...where have I heard that before? I wasn't sure, but she definately reminded me of someone. Just figuring out who was the problem. I found myself staring back into her deep blue eyes as I began to reply.

"You want to know my name? Uhm...alright. It's Griffin. Griffin Keen. Nice to meet you as well." A small smile popped in quickly before I started talking again, "This is a nice thing you're doing here. If only you could give away all they bread!" I laughed, well more like chuckled, at my own joke. It was a way for me to deal with the fact that thinking about what I had just said would never be true. Just after my laugh, a shot of lightning burns it's way through the sky. It lights up Mallory's face enough for me to see she was better looking than pretty much anyone in this town. Around the level of that Fern girl I met, well kind of met, earlier. Man, I'm running into all sorts of pretty girls today, what the hell?

Before anything else could be thought, or said, that bolt of lightning was followed by an equally impressive roll of thunder. It scared Rodger as much as to make him scream a little as he tightened his grip on my neck. I looked back to Mallory, squinting my eyes from the rain, "Well it was nice meeting you! I gotta get back to the orphanage!" And with that, I turned back on the road going at a pace closer to a jog. As I passed the two from earlier, I let out a passing farewell. "It was nice meeting you! Hope to see you around sometime!" After I had made it past them, went into almost a full run. I was actually still suprisingly fast considering I was in the rain AND carrying a kid.
