Mating Season

Through the scanner

•Ari Above•

Authors Suggestion:
The song above ain't that bad. It was my favorite song of the week but it got old.

Adele's POV

Ari whines for like a couple minutes before coming to the conclusion that I won't break, and gives up.
"I'm not running away with you." I calmly tell her.
"But," she sighs, "Once we go through the scanner... our fate is sealed..." She mutters, her smile immediately dropping.
I put my arms around her, hating the way the Games are affecting her. At least she'll get something 'good' out of it.
Her tears start to dry up and she rubs her eyes. Right when she starts to calm down our names are called.
"Miss Dree, Miss Poller, Miss Ombré, and Miss Smith, please report to the scanning room. Thank You."
Ari's eyes water again when she hears her last name— Miss Smith. She shakes her head and slaps her cheeks.
Once she's ready, we both leave.
Mira and J already went through the scanner yesterday, hence the reason their out shopping for junk food to cheer us all up.
Ari and I walked into the scanning room arm in arm, horrified faced.
The lady called my name and I froze, remembering Ari's words.

Sealed, as in— done for? Closed? Already recorded? That's right... our futures are already recorded. Once I walk through that scanner...I'm officially screwed.
"Is Miss Dree not here?" The lady asked, confused. I slowly raised my hand, knowing that if I didn't they'd search everywhere. Everywhere— as in home. If they aren't able to find me, my dad goes to jail. <- That's why people are still here. Their not selfish enough to abandon something a simple signature started.
Ari nudged me with her elbow and I stood up.
She sent me an apologetic smile and nodded her head. Good Luck.
The lady grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the scanner. She let go of my hand and I hesitantly took a step forward, my body right in front of the entrance.
Somebody stepped behind me and shoved me in. Apparently, I took too long. Bitch Please.
I walked farther in and soon it became dark. I felt the lights go up and down my body, scanning me.
A beep was heard and I looked up.
There, the words 'You may exit' were written in midair by the lights.
I walked even farther and I saw light. I speed walked to the exit as fast as I could.
The exit led me outside, behind the scanning room. I saw a bench and sat, waiting for Ari to walk through.
After a couple of girls walk through, I finally see Ari.
I jump up and run towards her.
"Ready to soak our sorrows in ice scream?" I asked her, hoping for a smile.

Okay, so if your curious as to what the scanner does, it scans your posture.
Your strength is based on your posture, you can get 1/50. 1 being the highest/best number.
Your speed is based on how fast you can run a military training track.
Your stupidity/knowledge is based on your posture— the scanner scans your head.
Your beauty is based on the attention you get at a ball.
Your mate is based on all of those things.
Real mate or Fake mate your gonna be leaving with either one. In other words— your not leaving this shîthole empty handed.

I have decided:
Next chappy preview:

Mira, J, Ari, and Adee will run the military track: speed.
Then, the ball:Beauty

They will run for speed and dress for attention in the same chappy.
