Well quite frankly just being out was different. I was so used to hiding myself in my room I actually wanted to get out for once. Anyway, I shut the door to my house and begin my walk, pen and pad in hand, District 5 wasn't too bad anyway, compared to some of the other districts this was just near perfect. I look up to my relatively small house and spin round, allowing my hair to fly around my face then fall roughly perfectly back in it's place, aside a few stray hairs in my eyes, which I brush to the side. Maybe the oil pumps where active today, I could watch them for a bit to entertain myself. I smile to myself, just a little bit and proceed to walk over to the closest oil pump, #2674 as it had on it's registration. That was always fun to draw.

I was actually still running. Usually when I get bored and go for a run, I cop out shortly afterward. Because, who actually enjoys running? However, I was already rounding my second mile whenever I saw her sitting over by the oil pumps with some paper. Yes, she is in my grade at school, but I've never even met her. She's actually a little awkward, to be honest.., he thought to himself.

"Uh, hey!", I called over from across the street. "Are you sure you're allowed to be over there by those oil pumps? I would hate for you to get carted off by a Peacekeeper, you know." I thought I would at least give her a fair warning and try to be friendly. It's the least I could do.

I continue to draw the pump, starting from the bottom and slowly working my way to the top, adding shading and the like as I go along before I hear a shout. I look over to where it came from and notice a boy, who I recognise from school, in my grade, but aside from that I knew nothing about. I hear him say something about being allowed near the oil pumps, and something about a peacekeeper. I look around, lowering my paper as I do then look around, before shrugging and shouting back "Haven't been caught before, besides, I am just drawing them" Actually that probably sounded weird, but hey ho who cares

"Haven't been caught before, besides, I am just drawing them", she called back at me across the road. Drawing them? That's definitely... unique. Although I didn't really understand her fascination with drawing oil pumps, I jogged across the street to join her. Looking over her shoulder, I saw that the drawing was nearly complete.

"You know, that's pretty good. So, what's your fascination with these oil pumps anyway? If you don't mind me saying, it's kind of unique.", I said as I sat down next to her. "So, I've seen you around school, I think. My name's Nelson. And you are?"

I turn back to my paper as I don't hear a reply, just starting to finish the jack of the pump before I jump as he speaks, just managing to stop my pen from flying across the page as I do. My eyes narrow lightly but I soon lighten them, drawing was the one thing that kept me calm. I glance to my right as he starts speaking only to see him sit down. "Ya know people normally ask before they sit next to someone" My thoughts intone. It would've been nice to have actually said something about sitting next to me but he complimented my drawing, I suppose he could stay, for a bit.

I stop drawing and look to the pump for the final details, before turning back, replying as I do "Thanks, it's been a while since I'd received a compliment, and yeah, I've seen you. I'm Alcelia... And my fascination, no idea. I know I hate the taller ones, but these jacks just calm me, again, no idea" My voice had a tone of being preoccupied but it still sounded interested enough.

"Thanks, it's been a while since I'd received a compliment, and yeah, I've seen you. I'm Alcelia... And my fascination, no idea. I know I hate the taller ones, but these jacks just calm me, again, no idea", she explained. I still didn't understand, really, but it was cool to make a new friend. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Alcelia. So, Alcelia.. what do you normally do for fun, other than draw?" , I asked. I've never been the most sociable person around, so it's been somewhat difficult making conversation with Alcelia. But, I was having a lot of fun. I think I'll stay awhile.

I smile a little as I quickly glance at the jack again, just had to finish with the pumping rod thing and I was done. My ears perk as he speaks again however and my smile somewhat becomes shyer as he says it was nice to meet me. Surprisingly no-one had actually said that to me before. My head lowers a bit towards the pad as my smile continues and I pick up on his question "Well aside from drawing, probably just having a wonder and looking and the... Prettier regions of this district" My words come out as I finish with my drawing and I quickly slide the pen in the hooks at the top of the pen and show it to him "Whatcha think?"

"Well aside from drawing, probably just having a wonder and looking and the... Prettier regions of this district", she replied. Prettier regions are definitely few and far between in Five, which is something that I think about a lot. I wonder if some other Districts contain the beautiful scenery and the utopia feel that goes along with some of the Games. Five will always be my home, of course, but it would be nice to see something better.

"Whatcha think?" , she asked after the final product was finished. It was pretty good, I must admit. "Uh, yeah! Looks great! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see things besides refineries and factories all day? You know, like other Districts?" Because I know I sure have. I've never seen any of the other Districts, but I'd bet money that Five was among the ugliest.

I smile gently at his reply and look back at my picture, placing it so the back was on my thighs and the bottom was across my stomach as I st with my knees bent. The jack beside me still working away as usual this past week really. Which is weird considering the rest have been turning on and off recently. I run my hand down my drawing then look to him as he continues speaking "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see things besides refineries and factories all day? You know, like other Districts?" Well honestly I liked the refineries, the lights and that stuff where nice at night but that didn't mean I didn't think about other districts.

I thought turns mildly thoughtful and even slightly sad as I think about it more, before I give a smaller reply, I don't even know what caused the downturn but yeah, it happened "Well I have, I think everyone has, but we will never be able to find out, even if we try the Capitol will most likely kill us. Or turn us into those Avoxes. Or something I don't really want to happen. I mean, we could try, but... I wouldn't on a first thought..." My voice begins shrinking and my pauses between the sentences get longer as I realised I had gone somewhere that was probably irrelevant. I shift slightly to make myself more comfortable and look at him with curious brown eyes, why was he interested in me anyway?
