The first thing the light green eyes appeared on, as they opened for the first time that morning, was the alarm. It was way past when Madison set it to go off, and she was now running late for class. The night previous kept her up trapped in her thoughts, if she could remember straight Madison believed her eyes closed for the last time at sunrise. Long nights often resulted in Madison turning her alarm off without even awakening. With still only a few hours of sleep energizing her, she slumped up really not wanting to go to school. Still she hadn't gone all week, and her parents were beginning to get upset. At least today would only be a half day on account she was running late.

Still the time didn't make Madison rush, unable to care less about whether she did the right thing. Slipping on a tight white skirt that reached about mid-thigh, Madison tugged it up a little to be shorter. A long-sleeved, black O-necked shirt covered her top, the neck line low, and the cuffs of the sleeves being tight and secure, with the rest loose, just how Madison liked it. Madison could hear her mother still home, and began to speed it up a little just to prevent getting yelled at. Make-up was important though, so in exchange Madison threw her hair up into a messy bun.

Grabbing her bag she set off to school, being very sneaky through the halls of the mansion, not wanting to pump into her mother. Madison's family were one of the wealthier one's in the district, so there giant house wasn't too far from the school. Wondering how it must be to be poor, Madison strolled to school. The poor families seemed closer, more bounded and connected it. There was such a big separation between the two classes, with not much in the middle. One thing Madison knew for sure was most rich parents didn't spend much time with there children, often leaving it to a nanny.

Madison attempted to slip into her class with out being noticed. The class consisting of the almost-graduating students, sixteen and seventeen mostly. The teacher wasn't to pleased to see Madison walk in late. "What's your excuse this time young lady?" The teacher addressed to Madison.

Madison looked up, tapping her chin, and smirking, gesturing that she was thinking, as she walked over to her seat. "Um. A rebellion happened!" Madison exclaimed, throwing her bag on her desk for dramatic effects.

"Such a talk is prohibited Madison!" The teacher scolded, as Madison toke her seat. "Do you even know what today is?" The teacher was growing angry. "Friday! And this is your first day of showing up this week!"

A small shrug and smile came from Madison for a response. "Opps. I thought it was tuesday."

"Out!" The teacher screamed pointing to the door. Madison rolled her hazel eyes before exiting the classroom. She figured she at least attempted to go to school. Walking down the hall she tried to think of what could possibly now fill her day.

Its been quite a long time since I walked through the rotted school archways. The bell in the small tower always used to give me a headache, I couldn't complain like the other kids though. My voice wouldn't work and only some words and parts would come gurgling from my throat. It became known early on that I was the girl that couldn't talk. Thats how they reconized me at school, not Alice, not the Pretty girl. No, Cripple and Mute were the phrases most used to describe me, people can be so cruel.

Even now as I stand aganst the peeling paint of the red boards, I remember the taunting that I would always get. You would think that nonsence like that would be saved for a more revered place such as District Two, nothing was ever saved for anywhere though, everything was the present and the future and there was no way to change it.

It's at least the time when school would be in session, and at first i'm not so sure that I'm not losing my mind. Walking up the small winding road is a girl with a mop of hair tied up messily to her head, black eye-liner smeared on with haste. I know she is one of the girls, I wouldn't dare make any sudden movement. She would say the same thing the others did. "Hello," silence from me followed. "I said hello, why arn't you talking." It took a while but eventually I would get the point across. Some would symthasize while others would walk away in boredom with me, their fun was over.

I'm not mute, some misconceptions are always thrown around about me. I hear the whispers, they're like little flies buzzing around a cow's head, they don't go away until you confront them and swat them hard across the face. I'm not cow though, I'm the future princess of Panem, they should look up to me as their superior. And still they don't, none of them will understand.

And while I continue to watch the girl walk in, it doesn't take long to hear the yelling of the teacher inside, she is upset at the student being late. Damn the walls, conversations are always of interest to me, I love to spy on others and just listen to them as their voices flow so freely. They take it for granted, foolish. Absolutly foolish.

I hear one word, "Out." the faded, wood door snaps open and the girl calmly walks through with slight steps. Something insdie of me skips, maybe she's like me. Is she lonely like I?

I decide to take a chance.

"Hel-llo," I step out from behind my shadow and smile at her. I can't see her face yet, I just hope she doesn't go too hard on me. I've already had enough of that.

Slamming the old door left the classroom with a bang, that was typically how Madison exited though her appearance remained calm and walk graceful. It didn't take more then a few steps for someone to step from the dark and approach Madison with an awkward hello. The arrival slightly scared Madison from the surprise, but she was quick to shake it off. "Hi." Madison greeted back.

The girl that stood in front of her was almost the complete opposite of Madison, with curly blonde hair that contrasted well with her brown eyes, but framed perfectly around her baby round face. On the other hand Madison had straight mocha colored hair, hazel light eyes, and a sharp jaw line. But they both consisted of a picture-perfect beauty. With a smile spreading across her face that revealed her dimples, Madison extended her hand to shake. "Madison." She introduced.

She said hello, her voice was like honey as she turned around and looked at me. Seeing her face closer, she struck me as quite pretty,her jawline firm and light eyes to match. If I could be described as a doll, I suppose that she could be a beauty queen. She was poised as she walked and turned, District Nine had people like this?

I shook it from my mind as I stepped forward hesitantly. "Madison," the girl put out her hand for me to shake it. I did the only thing I could think of, I bravely walked up to the girl and firmly shook hands with her. I didn't see any reason why not too and now was not the time to be picky.

"Alice," my name has always been simple to say, just two syllables with a smooth slide to get to each end, it was my name. I felt stupid not saying anything else though, just stopping with one word, surely she would want to know more. Either way, I was curious about this girl as well.

Pulling a small notepad out of my pocket I began to write on it with smooth, curved letters. Mum gave me the book for my birthday last year, its been a real help to explain some things to the other people, the ones who have the capability to speak to their peers.

I have trouble saying full words. I wrote on the paper hurriedly as I showed it to the girl. I'm sorry I seem so quiet.

The name matched her so perfectly, Alison, the porcelain doll, how pretty. Madison smiled a little, just as she did to all pretty girls she met. For some reason Madison held the complete opposite mind frame of all other girls, other girls that held beauty weren't a threat to her, like they all saw each other. Confident about her look and uniqueness, Madison wasn't the jealous type, plus this girl looked a few years younger then herself, though it could be because of her baby face.

Madison watched as the girl pulled out a cute little notebook and began writing. Wondering if she came from the upper class like Madison did, she watched the blonde sway her pen across the page. Alice did have on a cute dress on, it was possible. Looking at the paper when she was done, Madison was impressed with the neatness on account she was so speedy.

"Cool." Madison replied, "I like your cursive." Then she began walking down the hall, gesturing her head for Alice to join her. "So why aren't you in class?" Madison asked as they stepped outside of the building, the sun blaring against Madison's light colored eyes.

Thank you, Madison my hand moved across the paper before I showed it to her. The girl had quite a pretty smile, she looked so calm and composed, most girls like her were tense when they saw me. Sometimes out of hatred, othertimes out of pure competition. Madison, she seemed different to me, she was so more natural than them, so less caked on with masks of fake personalities that would slowly be ripped off one-by-one. She knew what reality held, or at least that's what it seemed to be like.

"So, why arn't you in class?" She asked me, I picked up curiosity in her light voice. Why arn't you in there? I pointed at the school door with one pale, bony finger. I don't want to be there, that's simply why I don't go." the words sounded so much worse on the paper than in my head. The truth sets one free though and I wouldn't want to betray this girl's trust by telling her I was out to get a bit of fresh air.

School just isn't a priority It was obvious I was mixing up the truth though, anyone could probably see it in my eyes. I wasn't in the building because I didn't want to get taunted like I alway did when I entered there. Even so, I wasn't dressed properly for school anyways, I had just come from my shed, it wasn't the cleanest place on earth. At least I had Kateilynn the cat, she was my friend. She didn't mind if I was dirty, clean, beautiful, or ugly. Cats had no preference, they went with the flow and loved you for who you were.

With a shrug and a nod, Madison agreed. She didn't like school either, this girl that looked completely opposite as her was turning out to have a lot of similarities with Madison. "I agree." Madison said, taking in a deep breathe of the open air. It was cleaner outside of the district, where Madison often went, it was pure out there. As they headed down the road, Madison was quick to make a turn as to not head in the directions of the factories. Not making it to school all week, running into her father that was the owner of most of the factories, wasn't the best idea.

"So what's there to do around here?" Madison asked out of complete boredom. How she always wished District Nine was more exciting, with more interesting people. It was filled with nothing to do, with a bunch of snotty brats. "The quiet ones always know things to do?" Madison guessed, referring to Alice being shy.

I noticed the girl eyes flickering towards the towers of smoke in the distance, what bothered her? I didn't keep the thought in my mind too much though, brodding on one thing was useless, that's what mum told me when I was little. "Thinking too much is dangerous, they can hurt you for stuff like that." It was right after I was screaming words about the Capitol that I am sure now, made no sense. It probably sounded like, "Hate....Capitol kill.....kids." I don't know anymore. As the years have gone on though, my speaking has definitely decreased, something with my brain they tell me.

It doesn't matter now though, all I know is that the girl is walking in the direction of the Fields. Hardly anyone visits there anymore, why does she have a reason to go that way except for me? A bit of jealousy bubbles in me, the Fields are mine! I have never seen her before and she walks into my territory so carelessly, does she know what she is even doing? I think not, for this reason I give her a break for the time being. The silence breaks a second later when she asks me a question. "So, what is there to do around here?" I listened. "The quiet ones always know things to do?"

I am not quiet, I am the queen!

I'm sure that she can see some sort of change in my personality suddenly, I feel my fists clenching automatically and my eyes narrowing with precision. She is a kind girl but she doesn't ever filter her thoughts, I do have emotions, I hope she knows that. I'm not some veggie curled up in her own world, unable to have a voice in anything. I refuse to be like that.

"Fields...right Fields," I don't want her to to see my shed, its my secret place that I store everything close to my heart. I don't want her to go left . She doesn't deserve to see it yet. As well, Kateilynn is always scared around new people, I wouldn't want to frighten my cat in such a way.

"Pretty yellow flowers...in right Field." I hope that she can understand me, I hope she doesn't think I'm a dummy, lifeless and letting others push me around.

I am the queen!

It seemed that Madison upset Alice a little with the quiet statement, she didn't mean it as an insult, was simply the type to come up with nicknames. Madison didn't purposively want to insult her, though she never had a conscious for when she actually did. Believing she was always right, it toke a lot for Madison's guilt to kick in. It was noticeable to hear Alice direct to the right fields, as if there was something in the left ones she didn't want Madison to see. Not wanting to upset her anymore, Madison for once did what she was suggested to do, and not the complete opposite of what everyone always told her to do.

"I like your voice." Madison complemented, being able to hear a short sentence come from the blonde's lips. It had a little stutter, and hesitation but sounded pretty. Which got Madison thinking of why she didn't talk, never hearing of a medical condition that caused silence, or if it was personal reasoning. She knew Alice would share once she was comfortable with it though.

Reaching the beds of flowers, Alice was right with saying pretty yellow flowers. But now that they were their Madison was confused because what was there to do now besides look at flowers? She did used to pick them at a younger age, but she was long past that. Bending down, she toke a smell, and picked one to place behind her ear. "Now what?" She asked curiously, often leaving entertainment in the hands of who ever she was with.
