I wasn't going to Mr. Payne's, why should I? He was being completely unfair. If his ego was bruised by my outburst then sorry but I find no reason as to why I need to spend anymore of my time in this place then is needed. I just needed some time to be alone, so instead of going to my next class...well I went to the library.

My feet stopped when I saw a familiar face, Nym. Her eyes were darting across the page of a book. I walked towards her pulling over a chair, I scrunched my eyes shut as the chair scraped along the floor obnoxiously. She looked up at me startled, was I really that quiet coming in?

"Uh sorry." I laughed sitting down.

"Oh no it's fine, it's just I got lost in the book and wasn't aware of my surroundings." she said holding the book to her chest tightly.

The gesture seemed odd. Almost like she was hiding it or being protective, maybe it was personal, she didn't seem like she wanted the book to herself for greed. At least she didn't strike me as that kind of person

"May I?" I asked extending my arms to the book.

She placed the book in my hand gently. I smiled and looked over the page, words jumping out at me. The pages were old, dark and tattered; almost like someone tried to burn it. I didn't understand the context or have a clue what the book was about.

"It's about a woman, who was treated badly by people and others. People only viewed her by the color of her skin." Nym told me softly.

"Was her skin purple?" I asked looking at the front cover, I was trying my best to take in all I could get, trying to make assumptions.

She laughed quietly bringing her hands to mine"No, she was a black woman, and she was uneducated but she never gave up. It's a touching story. You should read it sometime, that is if you read." she asked.

"of course." I said pretending to be hurt by her words. "Reading is another passion aside from art." I added.

She her bright eyes looked at me with hope and something I couldn't quite place "Ya know Nora, you are different. You really are like me and my group, and I know you don't like what's happening to our country. Damn those four idiots.." she said muttered the last part.

I nodded my head agreement.

"Well we're having a meeting tonight, and I'd like you to come."

"that way uh, you could see how we really run, I've also taken your advice and we've been talking about some type of attack. Were just- its scary."

"Really? you want me to come and your thinking about an attack. Wow t-that's unbelievable. I think were gonna start something big, a movement, maybe a revolution." I said my voice barely above a whisper.

"I know its. Its crazy, stupid, and insane, but we have to try. Its suicidal mission right? There's no way all of us will make it back." she said her eyes moving around.

"It's not very likely all of will come back but those who do will have the most precious things available to them, and those who don't come back. They died for something that meant the world to them, and I wouldn't care dying for something like this. I gladly take a bullet." I answered confidently.

"You are amazing." she said with a smile.

"thanks but your the one that needs a standing ovation." I said standing up and clapping.

She laughed and covered her mouth before grabbing my hands, "Shhh we are gonna get caught, and than I'm gonna have to make up this rad ass lie to get us out of trouble."

"It wouldn't be the first time I got in trouble." I said shrugging up my shoulders.

"Oh I'm real sorry about that, I didn't think he would notice. He's been really weird lately I don't know what's his problem. But speaking about that did you get a chance to read my letter." she asked.

"I didn't, I can read it now if you want."

"Yeah, stay here and read it okay. I'm ditching for the rest of the day but I'll catch up with you tonight yeah?"

"Yup." I smiled.

I watched her take off towards the back walking past aisles and aisles of books. She opened a small window and squeezed through disappearing. I flipped the note around my hand before opening it up. My eyes glanced around to make sure I was completely alone before I began reading the piece of paper.

Dear Nora,

It's chemistry and were just watching this completely boring video. I thought this would be a great chance to tell you everything I know about the great 4 and my group and just everything. I'll probably give this to you next period if your there, your not very consistent with attendance. Anyways that's besides the point.. All my life I wondered why. why things were they way they were. Why did people get in trouble for things so pointless as to tattoos and reading and.... just everything I seemed to enjoy. I wanted to know how things worked. I was always curious, and I hated the system. So I found myself rebelling. I found this group six years ago and ever since then I've felt alive, as much as I can given the circumstances. We've waited for years, trying to find a right time, and the time is now. Then there's you. Your so essential to our plan, you are one of our main beacons of hope and inspiration. Yes, you Natalie. I know your not who you say you are. I know about you and harry, I'm so excited to meet him. You guys don't understand how much you've impacted groups around the nation. We need you,and your guidance. Please please please Natalie if you can, We want you at our meeting tonight. The attack is in 7 days starting tomorrow. We don't really know what to do, we need your help. If your interested meet me at the bus stop near 526 Lance Street at 8:00. Bring harry as well, and just consider it. Natalie, you are the spark.

I wonder when she knew, and how long she's known. I never realized how important Harry and I were. How many people looked to us for hope. I was a spark, I was spark and I needed to do this even if Harry didn't like it. I was telling the truth to Nym when I told her I was willing to die for something that meant the world to me. I was willing to risk never seeing Harry's face again. I was willing to lose it all.
