June's POV
I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock. The beeping woke me up but the only reason I got out of bed is because today was my trial. I put my feet on the floor and into the slippers I keep there so my feet won't touch the cold wooden floor. One of my feet accidently touches the wood floor. I bring it right back up as soon as possible but it is to late my foot is cold. I start to get changed into my regular clothes so I could go to the trial as soon as they pick me up.
I go outside to the kitchen only to find my brother Metias cooking breakfast for me. I sit down on the dining room table and tried to cram all the last minute information I could. Metias looks at me as if I was going to study my brain out. I knew that he was worried about me and how I might not pass my trial. I know that his is a little over protective but I know I can pass the trial easy. I look back at him with the expression that you better not worry too much.
"How would you like your eggs?" Metias asked.
"Scrambled. Don't worry about me I know all the answers. I know I can pass this test just like you. So stop worrying," I say.
"Fine but you better become the elector or someone like that. Ok?"
I nod. I always knew he was worried about me but I never knew that he wanted me to score higher than him. I look back at the law books in front of me. I know something about the government is going to be in the trial because how would they expect us to run the government if we didn't know anything about it. I stare at Metias. I think of how hard he is working just because our parents died in a car accident. Maybe he has become a father of some sort.
There is a knock on the door. I open it immediately. There is a soldier there to pick me up so I could take the trial. I guess before children didn't want to go so they had to have the soldier there so they know we took the trial. I yell goodbye to Metias and jump into the limo. I found lots of girls and boys in there already. So I sit in the back by myself hoping that one of my friends will be here too. In my situation I am able to take my trial early because I am doing exceedingly well in school.
The boys and girls in the limo started talking about how well they are going to do so well on their trial that they might take over the position of elector. Everyone of course laughs at the idea of that. Everyone knows that you could only get that title if it was handed down to you. That never happened before it was always passed down by family. In a point of the ride everyone got so loud that the chauffeur had to pull over and keep us from talking so loudly. We started whispering about the trial instead of yelling. We were delayed a couple of minutes because we had to pull over but they were behind schedule anyway so the Republic didn't even notice the difference.
The chauffeur opened the doors to the limo and everyone started rushing out to get to the trial. I came out last because I was pushed around by everyone trying to get there before I did. I don't understand why they call us up in alphabetical order anyway. I go outside and quietly decide that I will have the best score the Republic ever seen.
They called me in. I go inside the room and wait for the questions to start popping up. I sit there and wait for the solider that will give me my test. He comes in and that's when I knew that the test has officially started.
