Matched

Ava has decided to give her Guardian a hard time. When she woke up this morning in her bunk to find her stupid Locket glowing red, she immediately felt the urge to run. Of course, running options are limited when you live on an enclosed thirty-three acres with roughly forty thousand other people. There’s the track that runs the perimeter of Campus, but that’s not the kind of running Ava was after. When she looked at the soft red gleam of the heart-shaped interface implanted on the inside of her wrist, she didn’t just have the urge for a quick jog—she had the urge to fully scale one of the towering walls surrounding Campus and to sprint away into the vast, dark wilderness.
