Hi! I was so interested to learn how other people lived in the districts and the Capitol, so I decided to write fanfictions of 14 teens' lives from the glamorous Capitol to the underground city of District 13. There will be 14 chapters. This chapter, Chapter 1, will be about a teen in the Capitol, Chapter 2 will be about a teen in District 1, and so on… I'm going to try to update at least once a week. The stories are going to be told by the teen's point of view. I hope this idea interested you, because it really interested me!
Profile:
Name: Volumnia Recci
Age: 15 Location: Capitol
Status: rich
Appearance: long turquoise hair, violet eyes, heart tattoos inlaid in her eyelids, tall and thin
I wake up and look at the diamond inlaid clock, a gift from my grandma Gelise, and see the 8:23 AM in red lights. Oh good, I have time for breakfast this time. I walk through the hall to the bathroom, wash my face, and brush my teeth. Hygiene comes first! I go back to my bedroom and walk to my dressing room, which is attached to my bedroom, and try to pick out an outfit. AHedes Rebitoullie transparent blouse over an aqua tank top with a Cianelli polka dotted bubble skirt would be nice, huh? "Lovely, breakfast is ready!" my mom yells. I go down and sit at the elegant oak table.
Cheche, one of our Avoxes, is putting a plate of pancakes in the table. My mom sits next to me and kisses me in the cheek. "So sweetheart, Demri is going to pick you up after school, bring you here to dress up, and drop you off at Elsie's house. He's going to pick you up after the party at 11, okay? Don't forget to look your best, honey, I won't be home to make sure!" "Yes, sure, mom!" I say, rolling my eyes. I'm 15; she should know I'm capable of picking up something wearable for my friend's birthday party! Suddenly, something pokes me in the back several times. I hear my 9 year old twin brothers Ares and Constantine's giggles. "Cut it out, you two!" I say, trying not to smile but fail. "Manners!" my mom shouts. That makes them laugh even more. Oh, my brothers are such pranksters. I eat some bacon with eggs and finish it off with a fruit tart. I look at the grandpa clock and read 8:54. I have 6 minutes until the school starts! I quickly pick up my bag, wear my favorite metallic stilettos, and dash out of the door with a quick good-bye to my mother. Demri, an Avox that drives my family to places, is standing next to the car and opening the door. I quickly get in and he drives to my school.
My school, West Clarebon Algebraic Academy, is not far from our house. It's a private school specialized in Algebra with the latest technology and the teachers that are best of the best. Not everyone can get in this school, even if your family's stinking rich your academics should be excellent as well. To be honest, my middle school CAPCAS degree was only 5 scores away from not being able to go to the Academy. Not a lot of teens manage to get a CAPCAS degree over 500 though, so I'm still considered pretty smart.
As the car stops in front of the entrance, I realize I'm not really late. A lot of kids are still entering the school, including my friends. I hop out of the car and join them. "Hey, Volumnia!" they all say. "Are you going to Elsie's party?" Sylvae asks. "Of course I am! Have you ever seen me not go to a party?" I say, flashing a wink. They all laugh. Just as we enter, we see Eli with his friends.
Eli is a ninth grader who all the girls adore. Whenever he passes by, girls can't stop staring at him- just like how my friends are right now. I really don't see why, I never seemed to find him attractive. Maybe because when we were in fifth grade he told me he liked me in a class trip to a Hunger Games arena. I guess after that I lost all of my interest in him. Whatever, past is past.
I roll my eyes as Kristl says, "Do you think he'll be in the party?" The girls all "ooh" and "ahh". Ugh, I forgot how "bubbly" my friends can be. As we walk in the school, we put our student PIN in the schedulizer, a touch screen tab that gives you your schedule for the day, and it prints our schedule. Mine reads:
Student Name: Volumnia Recci Age: 15 Grade: 9 Student PIN: 2855
Period 1: Room 185 - Algebraic Formulas: Linear Equations
Period 2: Room 360 - Tutorial: Applying Trigonometry
Period 3: Room 483 - Perimeter and Circumference Level 2
Period 4: Lunch
Period 5: Room 291 - History: The Dark Days
Period 6: Room 327 - Science: Fauna et Flora of Panem
Period 7: Room 174 [Auditorium]- Violin Session for Choir Members
The periods go by quickly, and before I know it Demri's already back in front of the entrance. I sit in the car as he drives me home. I walk to my house, and go to my dressing room… What should I wear? It's a pearl-themed party, so I have to wear something with pearls… A light blue Viviane Crintec dress with pearls in the neckline and the hem, a present from my dad, seems a good choice, right? I shower, brush my teeth, put some makeup, wear the dress and pearl-studded heels, and head out of the house.
As Demri is driving me, I notice I forgot to buy a gift for Elsie! "Demri, stop the car! I have to pick up a gift for my friend first!" Demri nods as I dash out of the car on the the Main Avenue. I go to the first store I see, which is Bertierre, Elsie's favorite boutique shop, and try to choose a gift. I see purple laced heels and immediately know she would love it. I go to the cashier and pay 550 Trehs from my credit card. I walk out of the store and into the car again.
We're quickly in front of Elsie's mansion and I go inside. Elsie, Persephone, and Kristl greet me immediately. "Hey, V! Looking your best!" says Persephone, looking at my dress. "Thanks!" I say. "So let's PARTY!" yells Elsie, who's wearing a pearl tiara.
The party is so FUN! We dance, drink, eat, and open presents. Of course, Eli's in the party, too. He's with his friends all the time, but whenever he talks to girls, they blush and complement and giggle. Of course, this makes him get cockier. Ugh, Eli.
Because I'm always visiting Elsie's house, when she asks the girls if they want to see her room I say no. The party gets a little boring when they leave, so I go outside to the balcony. "Finding the party boring?" asks a voice. Eli. "Guess I'm not the only one." I say vaguely. He comes next to me and stares at me. "What?" I say, a bit annoyed. He shakes his head and replies "nothing." We gaze outside. "Why are you so mean to me?" he finally asks me. "I'm not— "Is it because of the thing I said in 5th grade?" he cuts me. I grow silent and realize the answer is yes. "You know what, I don't care anymore." He says and turns to leave. Is this what he thinks? That I'm trying to be mean to him? "Hey, Eli, wait!" I say. He turns around. Now what? "I'm not trying to act rude to you, Eli. I actually think you're pretty… Cool!" Really? "You know what I'm trying to say, right? I don't know what else to say, but all I know is that I like you. I mean as a friend!" I say. After an awkward and long silence, he walks towards me. I expect for him to say something, to make me feel bad. But he does something shocking. He grabs my right shoulder with his left hand, wraps his right hand to my neck, and kisses me. He kisses me. At first I try to push him, but his big stature doesn't let me go. And after a while, I don't want him to let go. But he does after few minutes. "Think about that a little bit," he whispers to my ear and he leaves.
Demri picks me up after the party. I go home, hug my dad who came from work, and go upstairs to my quarters to prepare for sleep. After brushing my teeth and cleaning my makeup, I give my brothers a quick kiss in the cheek and go to my room. As I lay in the dark in my bad, I think about the kiss. I quickly recall how soft they were. And I finally sleep thinking how soft they were.
So what do you think? Don't forget to review! Next chapter is going to be about a teen living in District 1, and I'll try to upload it as fast as I can!
