Uzi was believed to have something " damaged with her programming. " a weirdo, a freak if you will. Nobody payed any attention to her, often forgetting she was there, or who she was. Uzi prefers to stay away from the Colony, seeming to observe the other drones. She took notice into a drone in particular.. A blonde, green eyed jock, known as Thad. Unlike the other drones, he talked to her once or twice in the nurses office. Uzi went here commonly due to... In class injuries. She never seemed to mind having him around. Nobody noticed that she was fond of him, except for one. Lizzy, a popular group ringleader. She wasn't to keen on an emo outcast being into her brother. . .

After snickering with her friends making fun of Uzi, she came up with a scheme.

Beyond the doors, there was another odd drone. An outcast in a squad of his own, feared by workers but highly respected. He preffered staying in the shadows, enjoying the hunt for workers. He was tall, a ghostly figure. Silvery short hair glimmering in the moon. Workers came out every once in awhile, allowing him to get some oil needed for staying cooled down. There was one frequent visitor that never knew he was there. He normally killed loners, but this one was different. The way her purple hair seemed to glow, her fascination with the moon. She sat on top of a car, looking at the busy sky of stars above her, never knowing a disassembly drone was happy about her presence.

Uzi had finished talking to Thad in a "generally hormonal" way, making her way to her locker. She got out of the nurses office  too early to skip her next class. Uzi opened her locker, but instead of books, she was met with a note written in green.

" hey zi. I think your pretty cool. Elliot's Oil tonight at 7? :)  "

Uzi's eyes widened, and she looked around. She had an annoyed expression, but the blush on her face says otherwise. This was the best thing that happened to her in years, someone paying attention to her!

School seemed to last forever, but at last it was time to get ready for her date. Khan was rarely home, making it easy for her to get out tonight. Uzi looked around her room, her glance passing her closet for a second. Approaching the stash of clothes, she had an idea in mind.

After putting on her gloves, she looked at herself in the mirror. A beautiful, black sleeveless dress, with gloves to match. Uzi refused to learn how to walk in heels, so she wore her boots in her usual attire.  She adjusted her hat a bit in the mirror, and suddenly her smile faded a bit. The bitter thought in the back of her head that this was all a prank.

Uzi closed her eyes and shook her head. She left her Colony apartment and began making her way to door 3. Around the corner, a bitter laugh lingered. " Jesus, must be desperate enough to walk. " Lizzy sneered to her friends, recording clueless Uzi.
