Matched 100-200

Ky asks Cassia who she has lost. She explains to him how she lost her grandfather on his eightieth birthday. After an intense conversation of losing people and Ky confessing to seeing Cassia reading her poems, they had back down to the base of the hill. Cassia comes home and there are Officials at her house. After they left, her mother told her that her father had lost Grandfather, or the tissue sample that is suppose to bring him back to life. Cassia was upset and couldn't believe that her father could be so inconsiderate and irresponsible. The next day, Ky and Cassia wait for the air train together. Ky goes to work and Cassia decides to visit her father at work, since hiking was cancelled due to inclement weather. Once Cassia arrives at her father's workplace, she sees people digging and her father supervising in a white robe, because he is an Official. The site at which they are digging is an old library, so all the old books they are finding, they destroy. As Cassia takes it all in, she decides that this is the perfect time to destroy the poems Grandfather gave her. If she gets caught with them, she would be in a great amount of trouble. She then throws them down and a worker comes by and destroys them. After she has done what she has come to do, she decides to take the air train back to school. The Officials have finally decided to add a new activity for Saturday. The activity was having a picnic, planting flowers, and then celebrating their work with ice cream. After the meal and the planting, Cassia's friend Em, went to go talk to some other friends. Xander and Cassia were left alone just talking about life. After they got done eating their ice cream, they shared their first real kiss as a Match. Within the next few days, all the other Matches prepared to finally meet their other half. Cassia let Em borrow her compact for the meeting. Em was so excited yet nervous to meet her Match. She was hoping he'd be charming and handsome, and sure enough he was all the above. He reminded Em a little bit of Xander. After the banquet, Em saw Ky, so she asked him to give Cassia her compact back. The next day, Ky gave Cassia a compass, and she had no idea what it even did. Saturday evening rolled around and Cassia and Xander got to go on their first date, with an Official supervising of course. They ended up having a lovely dinner at the dining hall. Once they returned home, they were informed that the Officials were going around to each of the households and taking any artifacts to be put into the museum. Cassia took off towards her house. All she could think about was saving Ky's artifact, but on second thought, she didn't want to lose her compact.
