Mira

Ch.7

Tuesday

Mira was reading the book with a passionate single forced intensity,as she flipped through recipes in the cookbook. To her right next to the large window pane Casper sat before warming himself up, and leisurely reading a graphic novel.

It's cover was full of autumn and summer colors, pretty shades of orange and red

Yesterday was absolutely amazing, Mira and Casper were on the verge of something great. They were working on their project for speech, and Casper was enjoying his book and looking for colors and ideas for the project.

Speech had taken a righteous turn of events when they announced the project. It's supposed to be a project about bettering the community but after the mess that was yesterday.

No one, not even their usually chipper teacher wanted to continue that disaster of a day.

So she changed it to something more tame instead they would have to make a presentation to sell a 'product'.

Basically it was a business pitch and a very broad assignment, it did excite some of the class especially when the teacher explained that she gave them a list of questions she was gonna ask.

They would group together to work on the project, every wednesday, and by the end of the September they should be finished.

"Hey, if you were stuck in the hunger games,"-Mira cuts her friend off with her abrupt sentence, leaning as she moves her chair closer to the table.

"Dead, on the ground, 2 feet under, food for my family sort of dead" The girl's unusual abrasive answer kind of throws him off for a moment, it shows in his poofy bleached brows a shade blonder and more colorful than the dandelion wish white of his hair.

"But you're the fastest person I know, and Mira, no offense but you can probably take down a football player."

Casper huffs as he motions towards all of her person,and Mira sticks out her tongue playfully as she starts to spin slowly in the chair.

"One word, my dear friend, malnourishment", Mira points at her meager lunch box, of grapes, cheese, and some steamed beans that sat on the table.

"The general community is malnourished, and I have.. can't eat certain things, I'd die , of some sort eventually"

"But if you were born there , you wouldn't have your superpower" He chides , and Mira looks at him before thinking for a moment.

"That wouldn't be me it's someone else, experiences shape people, someone who didn't go through the experiences I did, so it ain't me,--" Mira huffs back and she relaxes a bit more on her seat, sprawling her limbs across the computer chair and it's cold plastic arms.

"In fact that person is so far away from my core values, like me in a different time would probably have similar values but not the diet I have"

"Pfft, I was thinking you could just run circles around most of the tributes,and forage," Casper murmurs and reclines closer to her and his own lunch box

"If I was isekaied, you mean I guess I could, but Katniss can definitely give me a whooping, and those careers, in general, are terrible, unless I play piggy back by following and hiding behind them...."Hey!"she twirls suddenly on the chair the sudden movement swirls her round

"And you, bru" After she passes the conversation to his court , he fumbles for one second before going off. Her brown eyes turned into slits as she stared into him and prodded him for info.
