Awakened Youth(Draft)

Lucia's POV:

"So Your a refugee from the South Section and Transferred here at the age of 9 cause of the conditions and gang violence then when you were 16 you found your bio parents, you apparently have a sister but she can't come live with you cause there's not enough money to have her a card to cross?"

"Yep"

"Wow."

Brodie nodded laughing as I continued making a drink for someone while she sat at the bar hanging around

"Plus if she comes live with me she has to get registered to be able to live here and be a Central section citizen, with her south section citizenship she'll be able to live in both sections"

"Yeah that's true, tho if you were rescued from over there then why are you going there for the games?

"Well it's calmed down since then and it's actually a really nice place, even tho it's not as great and free as here it really is a really nice place"

"Ah, yeah I heard that the south sections laws were crazy and stuff, hey, you want another Fireball?"

"Yeah Nah, I wanna stay sober enough for later... well later should be now but plans never really go as you expect it"

Strange, she usually should be at least halfway wasted by this time and it's been 2 hours and she's still sober, something's up

"What's later?"

"Oh, uh-"

"Hey!"

No she didn't.

"Hey! Over here!"

no way, why are they here?!

"Lucia Hey! What's up Brodster! haven't seen yall in a hot minute and Y'all look like shit haha"

"Guys! Hey Skyler(Beta Skara)! Noah Hey! Zacks not with yall?"

"Nah, He got stalled in the ringer and sadly he's gonna be in there at least a month"

Aww thats too bad, I was hopin to see the whole gang but oh well, this'll do, I poured them some glasses and we started catching up

They're just like i remember them, at least the easier calmer them, when Zacks here it's all crazy and wild and it all seems like a blur

They said they came here early to pick us up but Brodie told them about earlier today and about what we talked about and they decided to surprise me

Brodie, Skyler and me live here in the Central Section and Noah and Zack live in the south section but they have a section pass to travel here and back home

"So Brodster said your going to be on TV, that true?"

"Yup, Man I can't wait to get the shit beat outta me"

"Oh I can hel-"

"Cheers! To our Best friend! to this reunion! Our friendship and lets hope Lucia Doesn't end up in the hospital!"

"Cheers!"

Their glasses went bottoms up and i refilled them, We all laughed and joked more about the games and how I'll be stuck with Wimpy people or how I'll be in misery

I smiled and couldnt help but let out a chuckle, the night passed by and I kept working while everyone got wasted besides me and Skyler, i worked a bit of over time so i got done at 2 in the morning and luckily tomorrow i dont work and then its the weekend so im good

Skyler helped me get Brodster and Zack back to my place and dumped them on the couch or the floor, since Skyler helped me and was the best friends, she is she got the spare room, with the drunkards i just left them on the couch and threw blankets over them

The Kiddos were already asleep and they guys were passed out so i did my routine and Literally blacked out as soon as I lied down
____

I woke up by the smell of food and was fuzzy at first but then my instincts kicked in and ran to the kitchen for the sake of my health

"Ahh Shit"

I Hurried down stairs and saw Vee and Sky in the kitchen, Luz and hunter was at the table with a hungover Brodie and Noah, they had water and a bottle of Zissper (an aspirin made to almost instantly get rid hangovers), a Mericle drug to be honest

"Oh my god you almost gave me a heart attack, i thought one of those four were cooking oh sweet baby jesus thank Titan its you two"

"Hey, we can hear you y'know"

"Oh ok good, I thought I'd have to yell for your deaf self"

"Ha Ha very funny, keep it down will ya? you may explode our heads"

I couldn't help but smile, it's funny seeing them hungover cause of all the times they teased me for being hungover

"So what? You didn't have work today?"

"No, I have today off but I gotta prepare for the tournament so Ima go workout earlier than the usual time, I was thinking maybe when I get done we all could go out to eat or do something"

"Ok, first off, everytime your off work you go to the gym, second, Not it! I'm not paying, and Thres why do you always go to the gym? Why don't you go have fun? Be a teen and go out, why.the.gym?"

Ok he had a point but I don't always go to the gym, I did when I was younger but I'm more focused on trying to get money and keeping these kiddos alive

Noah looked at me waiting for the answer and groaned taking another pill

"We'll see about who's paying and the gym is actually fun, I would rather be a gym rat than a couch potato"

"Yeah that's fare, nevermind. But when was the last time you've went on a date? You don't happen to have a girl or guy hanging around do yah? No one you've kept a secret from us?"

I rolled my eyes and sat down next to Luz, I thought for a sec but I couldn't remember anyone in particular so that's a no

"No and plus, Vee, Luz and hunter have their friends to hang out with and Everyone here have their own lives, where, when and why would I go out?"

I shrugged and sat at the breakfast bar taking the glass of OJ I was passed

"Hey, don't you and Brodster here work together? You two don't hang out?"

We do but everytime we do she passes out from drinking and we only mainly get to hangout on the weekends but we have our own lives to live so we've been a bit busy so far

"It's not that we don't it's just that we're busy, and we do hang out but haven't in a while"

"Excuses excuses, You know they only get you so far Noceda, looks like you're at a dead end mate"

"They're not excuses and I'm not at a dead end, They're facts and here's a real fact for you, Y-"

"Breakfast is ready! let's eat"
