"Homemade Jewelery for sale! Cheap prices! Anyone?" Liana Florence gave a small sigh. "It's no use, Aunt Liz, no ones buying them. We might as well close up until tomorrow." Liz gave a small frown. "We don't have enough money, only four dollars," she replied. "Another five minutes." Liana sat down on a chair and began to read a book. "Liana!" Liz snapped. "No one is forcing you to do this. You help or you don't get paid." Liana groaned and put the book away. "Jewelery for sale! Half Price!" she yelled.

Fuck Them All.

Laila excitedly ran into the frequently busy center of town. The numerous shops and booths were all crammed next to each other, leaving little room for the people to navigate through the large crowds. She had just got out of work, and luckily it was payday. Her mother's birthday was quickly approaching and was the next day. Laila wanted to make her birthday special and find her the perfect present. She clutched the crisp five dollar bill in her hand as she walked from booth to booth, squeezing past many other District 11 citizens.

Laila passed booths that had hand-woven rugs, hard candies, goat milk, and even freshly picked flowers. This part of District 11 was the largest town within a couple of miles. Since Laila lived just on the outskirts of it, it was easy for her family to retrive the supplies they needed. They got all of their food and clothing in this town. Laila glanced over as she passed from booth to booth, and took notice when she spotted a booth she was searching for. A jewelry stand was sitting in the front of town, and was hard to miss spotting.

Laila scanned the stand for anything that intrigued her, and a glint of silver caught her eyes. She smiled as she saw a silver locket that she knew would look dazzling on her mother. She turned to the girl that was running the stand, and quietly asked her, "How much is this locket?" Hopefully the locket wouldn't cost her more then she had planned to spend, because their family was already short on food the past week. Laila then looked at the girl behind the booth, happily waiting for her reply.

"Just a dollar, half price," she said. She crossed her fingers behind her back, hoping for a sale. She pushed her light brown hair out of her face. "You buying it?" she asked.

Laila was relived and happily smiled, the exquisitely beautifull locket was perfect for her mother. On top of that, it was only a mere dollar. She just knew her mother would be thrilled when she recived it. Laila slipped her pale, carefull hand into her pocket and retrived her five dollar bill. The evening winds were beginning to pick up and they blew back Laila's dark brown hair. She took a step closer to the wooden table that contained the several pieces of jewelry for sale on it and handed the five dollars to the girl.

"Of course I'll buy it," She said happily. "Do you have any change?" Laila asked the girl. She wondered whether or not the girl liked working there in the busy town square all day. It seemed to Laila that the job would become tiresome and boring. Although her job on the farm was hard work, it never bored her. There were always new plants to plant, water, and harvest, fields to plow for a new season of crops, and more weeds to pick. There were times of the year in which Laila would look foward to certain seasons because of the change in the type of work that they would do.

The sun was beginning to set across the horizon, and Laila wondered if her father had left for his second job in the orchards yet. She admired her dad for being such a diligent and hard-working man. Laila knew he would do anything to protect her and her mother. Since her birthday was the next day, Laila's mother would only be working at one of her jobs tomorrow. It had actually taken much persueing for her father to convince her mother to take the day off of just one of her jobs. It was because Laila's mother took pride in providing for her family. Laila's mind soon wandered back to the booth and the locket and she reached out to collect her change.

Liana almost laughed with relief when the girl said she would buy the necklace. "Do you have any change?" the girl asked. "Sure," Liana replied, handing her four dollars and taking the five dollars from the girls hand. She handed her the necklace. She wasn't sure Aunt Liz would be happy she sold it for so cheap, but she wasn't sure how much the girl was willing to pay. Besides, a sale was a sale, right?

Fuck Them All.

Laila reached out and carefully grabbed the change from the girl. She tucked the four dollars into her pocket and picked up the exquisitely beautifull locket and clutched it in her hand, not wanting the present to leave her grasp. Laila slowly walked away from the table trying not to bump into anyonne else. She made her way to a bakery shop that wasn't very far from the center of the town square. As she entered, the smell of freshly baked loaves of bread filled her nose. Laila approached the counter and managed to buy a loaf of bread for two dollars.

Soon, Laila began makeing her way back home. The busy square in the center of town became a small dirt path as she started to walk home.She took her time walking, and made sure to take in the breathtaking beauty of the sunset drifting into the night sky. Stars began popping up one by one, shining like fireflies in the darkness. The moon was rising high in the sky as Laila grew closer to reaching her small house by the fields.

Once she stepped inside, Laila found some spare cloth and began to wrap the locket in it. What was a birthday present if it wasn't wrapped? Laila had questioned herself. The all too familiar smells of her comforting home were starting to reach her senses. Although her parents weren't going to be home for a while, Laila found ways to pass time. Her favorite thing to do in her free time was to read. Laila read until she gently fell asleep with her book in her hand. She slept until morning, and the smile on her mother's face was priceless when she recieved the locket.
