Things Change

Evan: Who Cares

I can't wait for these games to start. 14 kids. Huh seems to be my lucky number recently. I was only 14 when my parents were killed. I have no clue where I came from. My family use to travel around a lot. I can remember the cold forests. If you showed me a map I'd probably say I was from somewhere up north not quite Asia but not Europe. I don't fit anywhere. The 14th of whatever month we were in a truck was zooming towards me. I pulled out my knife as they stopped by me.

"What do you want you bandits!" I yelled at them looking as tough as I can.

"Hello, we are no bandits. My name is Julius. And this is my son, Gervais." A boy came out of the truck he was older than me. " We can take you to our town, you may have heard of it, France? We can take you most of the way but we must me off to find others soon."

I decided to trust them. Even if I shouldn't it didn't matter I had nothing left.

Now I am here in a training center going to some games. I want to win. I don't have to but maybe fortune and luxury will make my life better. I remember how as I started seeing lights in the distance on my arrival to this town Gervais got jumpy. He started bothering his father about seeing some girl but his father said no. Then they dropped me off to get there on my own. I went o a station that had knives. A girl came over to me.

"Hi I'm Lilas. You are new aren't you? I'm the mayors daughter." I looked her over. She was pretty good looking but from what I heard last night That middle eastern guy got burned by her. She's taken. "Hello, I am Evan." why not make small talk?

"That small girl over there is my boyfriend's sister Abby. " She confirmed it, she's taken. I flipped my brown hair out of my eyes. I hate how its always in the way. "Whoa. Um your eyes are like really blue haha. Gervais are blue too…" She started drifting in her mind. Wait. Gervais? He is her boyfriend! Lucky guy.

"Nice taking to you then." She wasn't talking any more so I needed to get some practice in.

"Oh. Alright. See you later!" She ran off to the next station.
