Star Crossed

Chapter 8

The day after Sophia's birthday was long and boring. Father ignored me for our problems yesterday. I mostly just walked around waited to find out what was going to happen next. Or what foods where in close range. I wanted to just sit there and do nothing. But nothing was boring. To be honest my whole planet was boring. Is it to much to ask to run around and to play outside? Outside meant that I could be at risk. If the other tribes got me they could use me, kill me, the worse thing they could possibly do is remove my markings. So leaving the pod was never a good option. I wanted my birthday to come. On that day I could do anything I wanted. I could eat anything, do anything, and be anywhere. I thought of leaving made me want to run. Do something. I would love just to be free for rest of my life. Not having to stress over if I could be killed. To just go outside and lay down. It sounds perfect. I can't; my family are the rulers. I can't just leave them. I have to work for my family's honor. Be right for the family name. If I let my family down I don't know what I would do with myself. I thought I should do something. But what was there to do. I could go sit on the other side of the room. Maybe run around the pod. Mess with Sophia get her to maybe give me some of her dessert. But what was the point. I'm stuck and that's the way it was always going to be.
