"Have you been watching me?" he says awkwardly

"Um, no." I just had to get my uhm... Camera I left here yesterday."

"Lemme see your camera then." he demands

Stupid, I don't have a camera. I can't even afford this old dress I'm wearing. And him being a royal, he probly knows I don't have a camera just looking at me. A royal is on the higher end of the hierarchy I guess you could say, and I, well, you could almost call me homeless or what they call us Scavengers.

"Listen, I'm sorry." I stammer. I reach back behind me and grab a rock, pushing myself to my feet, but slip on mud and fall back down, embarrassing. Now the whole back of my green floral dress is brown, my brother would not be happy. "I was just coming to rinse off in the water and-"

"It's ok." he says smiling. "Sorry, did I startle you?" he lends me a hand to help me up, I refuse, usually Royals and Scavengers don't cross paths unless there going to court, my brother tells me their dangerous and never speak to them.

"Just a little." I say sarcastically and stand up. I grab my bag and begin to walk in the other direction.

"Wait!" he calls out "I never did catch your name."

"You think you would know my name!" I turn around and yell to him "After all, you are the one that killed my mother." I turn around and run.
