[u]"No, I can get down just fine actually."[/u]

The little monkey in the tree hopped down and stood in front of Rebecca, which was cause for alarm in of itself. The monkey definitely did not wear the school uniform, like she had thought - maybe he wasn't in the school. Then he declined the banana she offered him, which downed her slightly. Rebecca had always wanted to feed a monkey. [i]Silly monkey not taking the banan-[/i] she thought, but was cut off by a slightly rude statement. Apparently 'free runners' didn't like being called monkeys, even though that was what they were. He extended his hand to make a formal greeting, but being the naive girl Rebecca was she didn't see it like that. Instead she took a step back and pulled out a small hand gun from her bag just enough for him to see. Then he commented on the uniform and she dropped it back inside the bag. alongside the banana. 
[b]"Oh... My-My name is Rebecca. Sotoe was it? Are you attending this the Academy then?"[/b] she somewhat stuttered. How? She never stuttered in front of Melting Point nor Cocoon, so why now? It didn't matter though and she turned to the side from him. 
[b]"You know, monkeys like you are rare here. Being called one is a good thing. It means you are special and unique."[/b] she said. Why was she acting nice? [b]"I had a friend like you. She was a little monkey too, but..."[/b] Rebecca trailed off, her eyes wondering across the landscape and to the general direction of District 19. With that she drifted away, walking up to the school without saying goodbye, with an odd smell of burning coming from her.
