I would like ten reads of this chapter, one vote, and two comments before the chapter five will be put up.

Comment, vote, fan, like, sing, rhyme, laugh... Whatever floats your boat. :p

"Sometimes the hardest things to say in life is hello for the first time, and good-bye for the last."

Madison Deep's POV

I pried my eyes open at the sound of Luke and Lisa quarreling. They sounded like a pair of siblings, and in my sleepy state their voices were really annoying. Really.

"I will not let that girl kill herself just because you think the boy will go further!" Lisa stated strictly.

"I just think that we'll be better off favoring Dane," Luke trailed off, making me squirm out my bed.

I rolled my eyes, remembering what Dane had remarked just yesterday. He was cocky, rich, and the biggest player in our four districts. Every time I saw him in town, or at the grocers he had a different girl hanging from his arm. It made me sick.

I grabbed the pair of sweats that was draped over a chair in the corner of my room. The thought of someone sneaking in my room, sizing me up, and choosing clothes for me made me cringe. Stalker, much?

Shuffling into the washroom quietly, I was surprised to see that there was a huge shower AND tub. I had only ever washed myself by rag before, so this was major. I couldn't wait!

I turned the shower knob to the left, not sure how it worked. Bucketfuls of water sprouted from the shower head. I giggled gleefully and clapped my hands together. Woohoo!

I felt the water hesitantly, only to find that it was warm. Not wanting to wait any longer, I stripped and stepped into the shower's embrace.

I rinsed extra long, used a product that was called shampoo, and cut myself several times using a sharp tool on my legs and armpits. I felt great. The pressure of the water was kneading my back like a professional massager, and I was clean. Finally clean.

After turning of the shower and stepping out reluctantly, I slipped on the navy blue sweat pants and white tank top, along with the matching sweatshirt that came with them. Surprisingly, they fit perfectly. The sweat pants hung on my hips, while the sweatshirt was warm and comfortable. I slid on the pair of expensive looking slippers that sat near the edge of my bed.

Wiggling my toes, I stepped out into the blimp's hallway. Each county ha their own section of rooms: a kitchen, a lounge, and four bed/baths. I searched for the kitchen, where voices could be heard.

"Ah, Madison! Come sit, come." Lisa urged and pointed to the chair across from her.

I nodded curtly in response and sat down.

"Good morning Lisa, Luke!" I chirped being my usual good-natured self.

"As to you too. Have you seen Mr. Maggle?" Luke questioned, making me giggle.

Mr Maggle. Ha-ha! I'm so immature...

"No, sir." I replied.

"Hm, we assumed you would be together. You seem like friends, because you are both gorgeous! I was surprised you weren't from the Council," Lisa furrowed her eyebrows.

I almost choked on my orange juice.

"Sorry to inform you, but Dane an I are practically enemies..." I managed to squeak out.
