Sofia English strode through the Upper District, her light purple dress swishing slightly. She frowned slightly as she walked, thinking about various things. First she thought about the Games. District 3 only had one tribute left, Josh. The female tribute had died almost immediately, in the initial bloodbath. Now Josh ahd hidden away in some bushes. It was a pretty smart move. But the other tributes would notice his absense, and they would hunt him down. So it might not have been the wisest decision he could have made. But she should have faith in him; he'd made it to the final eight after all.

The next thing on her mind was the shopping she was meant to be doing. Her family had sent her out for various edible items. Serafina was too 'busy' admirig herself. Shannon was studying. And Sadie and Horace were nowhere to be seen. Maybe Horace had played a prank on Sadie and she was chasing him round the district? Who knew. Point is, Sofia was the only one left, and she was happy to oblige. It was a bit dull in the house, especially with the Games going on. Sofia glanced around her carefully, checking for shops. There weren't any though. She hadn't reached the main marketplace yet.

The final thing on Sofia's mind was pretty much a jumble of smaller, more insignificant things. Had she gt a good mark on her quiz? What was she going to where tomorrow? Things like that. Preetty much just useless clutter that Sofia couldn't get rid of. Maybe if she could clear out her head she'd have more room for important things. Sofia shook her head slightly so she could refocus on the task at hand. She was meant to be looking for bread, among other things. But bread was at the top of the list, so she was getting that first. Plus, Sofia liked bread. She could probably eat some while looking for the rest of her items. Sofia sighed and raised her eyes from the ground. That was when she noticed the person right in front of her.

Lexington James Sax
District 3
************************************************************************************

"Time turns flames to embers"

Lexington Sax walked along the pathway to the upper section of district 3, his pet in his pocket. Most people couldn't fit their best friends in a convenient location, but the boy was lucky to. His father had given him a salamander not too long ago, or at least let him keep it. Lex named it Liken, and had been taking care of it ever since. Feeling a squirming in this pocket, the boy looked down and pulled out the gray-blue amphibian.

"Shh, Liken, I'll let you out in a second." Lex said, putting it back in his jeans. He walked along the edge of the district, and then pulled it back out. Liken walked straight out of his hand and into the grass. It was one area where Lex trusted his pet would be safe until he came back. Today, he had to be getting food. Being in a household with just one other person, whom often didn't come home until midnight, the fridge was hardly empty.

Lex kept his medium pace up and got to the market part of the district. A light amount of coins jingled in his pocket. Looking around, he hardly paid any attention to where he was heading, and walked into someone. " Woah, sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Lex said, turning a little red with embarrassment. " I'm Lexington Sax," he said with a small smile.

"Lives change like the weather."

Sofia stumbled to the side slightly as someone banged into her. She'd seen them coming, but she'd thought that they would see her and move to the side. Obviously that had not happened. Sofia appraised this boy, mainly trying to figure or if his apology was genuine. He looked like the sort of person who would apologize and actually mean it, so she decided it was genuine. It's fine." she said, shrugging her shoulders lightly. No permanent damage had been done, so everything was fine in Sofia's opinion.

She readjusted the basket on her arm before refocusing on the guy. He was pretty cute, and he seemed nice. Just sort of the guy Sofia liked. "So what's your name? I'm Sofia." she asked in a flirty tone. Sofia was oddly fond of flirting. But most of thetime it didn't really mean anything to her. It was just a fun past time she could partake in. Just like her sister Sadie liked to trick people by using her twin power. Sofia delicately held out her hand for the boy to shake. She'd seen him a couple of times around school, but she hadn't really spoke to him. Better late then never.

Lex smiled and shook her hand, glad that there was not real harm done. He had seen Sofia around at school, but never really talked to her. "Lexington, but you can call me Lex." the boy said, one of his eyebrows raised. His tone of voice mimicked Sofia's as a smile played on the edge of his lip. He released his hand from her's, not remembering how long they had been shaking hands. Looking at the girl some more, he couldn't help but to think that he had seen another girl like her walking around district 3. "You have a sister, right? A twin maybe?" Lex asked, his arms falling back to his sides.

His dark eyes wandered over the upper district, seeing nothing of real interest. He saw the bakery, where he was supposed to be getting bread, and other various things. Blinking, he turned his attention back to the brown-haired beauty in front of him. Lex smiled and crossed his arms, waiting for a reply.

"Lives change like the weather."

Sofia let her smile widen slightly as she appraised the boy appreciatively. A boy who knew how to flirt? Lex was getting better and better by the minute. It was so hard to find a good boy in this district. The vast majority of the guys around her age were either nerdy, or they tried so hard not to be nerdy they just ended up being weird. Sofia just wanted a guy who was normal. And Lex was getting all ticks in her books so far. But maybe only nerdy guys liked her because she herself was nerdy. Could that be true? Was she nerdy? No, Sadie was the nerdy one. Sofia always tried really hard to make time for friends and family. Social life in general really. She snapped back to Lex as he released her hand.

"Well, I actually have three sisters. But yeah, I have a twin. Sadie." she said amiably. She was used to people confusing her with her sister. "Do you know her. A few inches shorter than me? Kind of nerdy, usually sits at the front of the class." Sofia explained. She wasn't bad-mouthing her sister, not really. It was a common fact that Sadie loved school and learning. Sofia smiled at Lex again and fluttered her eyelashes slightly.

Wren peers out from behind the corner and eavesdrops. She could tells Sofia was flirting with Lex and rolls her eyes. Wren continues to listen and watch.
