Chapter 8 - Chapter 7 - Reunited with Joy

"The one and only, I am so excited you got selected I was hoping you would, but I knew the representatives wouldn't come to our district 2 times in a row. Did you travel to district 9 to get selected?" Joy asks curiously while still being excited at the prospect of meeting his friend again.

"I am excited to see you too, and yes, I did travel to district 9. I honestly had no hope of being selected, I was really surprised when I was."

He slightly lowers his voice and says in almost a whisper, "I have so much to tell you. I have learned so much in my 2 years here at Pulchra and you will not believe what I found out." His eyes dart towards the representatives still in the room and the little boy Killian.

My heart starts to beat a little faster, though I have never believed any of Joy's theories nor do I plan on believing. But I like listening to him speak, he is just so passionate about what he talks about. I wonder If I will ever be so passionate about something. Also, I am very curious to see what he has found. It seems to be something that cannot be said easily.

One of the representatives came up to us and I can feel Joy tense slightly. The representative's hands me a key with a little piece of paper that said 21 on it. The representative said that the number is my room number in the tower and the key is the key to my room. I can see the other representative doing the same to Killian. After the representatives gave me and Killian the key, they left the tower. Joy grabbed my arm and brought me to a room that had the number 42 in it. I let him drag me inside and I sit on a chair looking at him.

"This is my room we can talk in here. It was a bit dangerous to talk outside with those representatives lurking around. Now that we are alone, we can finally talk.'

I nod my head towards him and start to take in my surroundings. Joys room was large and spacious with lots of different kinds of rooms. And the most surprising of all is how messy his room is. Back in Deformis even though everyone was dirty, and nobody showered since water is precious. In Deformis he made sure to clean everything he can in anyway possible. Looking at the state of the room he really let himself go. Joy sees mw looking around and room and I see him start to get red.

"Had I known you were coming I would have cleaned up a little."

I chuckle at how awkward he is. "Hey I have a question, is the little girl from 2 years ago also her and If she id here then is it just the 4 of us in this tower?"

"I think she is still here ever since arriving she has just been locked in her room."
