"Miss Summers, what ever happened to them?"
Miss Summers looked at her students. The year was coming to a close and her students were getting more inquisitive by the day. Dedicating two weeks for the history of their country was a must, and was spent in detail every year. Miss Summers looked around her room. Colored shades filled the classroom with bright pinks and oranges. Twenty desks faced her in four perfect lines. Next to the clock was a picture of the first President of the new world, the one that shaped the way their world was formed.
"What a wonderful question. But let's see how much you learned through out this year. Let's start with an easy one: Haymitch." Ten hands shot up, and Miss Summers picked a boy in the third row. The boy stood up and pointed to the picture by the clock.
"That's him right there Miss." Miss Summers laughed.
"Yes Dov, can you elaborate?"
"I sure can. After Coin retired her position, President Haymitch volunteered to lead. At first people were very surprised because he was considered to be somewhat of a drunk." Other children in the class began to laugh. Miss Summers quieted them and nodded on. "But President Haymitch continued and made speeches all over the districts. Many people respected him because he knew and mentored the Mockingjay. Finally a committee made approved his position and he went on to do many good things for our country."
Miss Summers and the class applauded and the boy sat down. Miss Summers asked if anyone wanted to add anything.
"One of the best things President Haymitch did was rebuild the villages of the districts and made them all one. This unified the people and reunited people and food and clothing from everywhere, making the country more diverse." A girl in the first row said matter-of-factly.
"I heard President Haymitch never drank a single glass after the war." A boy in the seconded row said.
"I heard he sipped his drinks once every hour to ensure safety and to not anger his fellow committee." A boy in the last row challenged. Miss Summers hushed down the giggles that followed and continued.
"Very good class. Let's see, what about Gale Hawthorne?" She called on a girl closest to her.
"Mr. Hawthorne proved himself by bravely saving twenty citizens, in which four of them were inhabitance of the capitol. He was crowned head of the Department of War, and Weapons which was later disengaged by President Haymitch due to fear of further violence. Hawthorne's main job as the head of the department was to collect any type of bomb, and weapon in any district and bring it to the capitol. There he and Mr. Beetee would catalog and later destroy all of the bombs and most of the other weapons."
"Very good Philippa, but what happened after?" Miss Summers asked, a boy answered her.
"Hawthorne had made much money in the capitol and settled back in District 12 with a few of his siblings. He later married a very pretty woman and had five children. He made an excellent father. Hawthorne became a Government official by his great work in helping others set up houses and stores."
"Yes very good, you guys are know more about them than you thought, huh? Who wants to go next?" Fifthteen hands shot up.
