''District 6, what a... boring place.'' I thought to myself. ''There's nothing to do here. The jobs are boring, everything here is boring. I don't even wanna live here. Why can't we live in a(n) awesome district like one, two, or four? Maybe even seven, at least exciting things happen there.''
''Why do you look so down hon?'' My mother said.
''I don't like this district. We're the transportation district, shouldn't we have some type of prototypes that we could all test out on our own?'' I asked her.
''You know that they all go to the capitol.'' She replied.
''I would like to work in the capitol. It seems fun there. They have unlimited hours of TV, great technology, and aren't poor.'' I sighed.
''Stop complaining, damn it. You're being very ungrateful you know? Look, when you grow up, you can get a job in the capitol all you want, but right now... We deal with what we got.'' She said.
I hear cries of my little brother. He just woke up from his nap, and is now crying. I guess he had another nightmare about our sister. He yells and it breaks my heart to see him like this. My oldest brother died in an accident while helping out with the new types of transportation vehicles we had in district six. Apparently they aren't new, they were used years ago and were are named ''Helicopters.'' He and four others died in the accident while crashing into a building and crumbling it. Luckily no one was in the building or near it, it would be very unfortunate. We've all missed my brother, especially my dad who has just been shutting out the rest of my family for months now. It's sad to see, but this isn't the only district where accidents happen. During the minimal amounts of hours that we have for television, we usually check the news, and there's been a ton of accidents.

''Ayy Jet, you in there bruh?''
''Yoo. What's good Ayte?'' I replied.
''Nothing much, is this a good time to come by? The districts just made a new version of the train. Apparently it's way faster now, and can hover a little.'' Ayte said. ''Wanna go check it out?''
''Nah, today's the day man. They could be here anytime now.'' I told him.
''You're right, my bad. I'll go check it out man. Alright?'' He said.
''Fine by me.'' I replied.
''You know if you want to, you can go honey. Ulri and I will fix the house with Gina.'' My mom said.
''No, it's fine.''
Sucks to suck though. As soon as I said that an announcement came on and told everyone to go to the center of the district which was a really nice place. It was like a museum with all of the vehicles ever made all hanging up in beautiful positions. Our escorts name was Tatiana, and she seemed to be really young, she didn't even seem like she was older than sixteen. The girl from my district called was named ''Helen,'' and she was an outcast. She seemed like she could've been a popular girl in my district, but I guess she wasn't in with the others. The boy from my district was me. Although I had no idea how to use a weapon and never used one before besides using a knife to cut food in half, I walked up with my head held high. I'd make my district known for things more than vehicles that have failed to be used in the capitol, and made fun of. I'd win this games for my district, and that's a promise I announced in front of the audience. People frowned at me, but prayed for me. I'm glad that I could at least get some support. No one in this district was happy about the decisions. I bet if they got to choose who would be in the games, it would be a girl named ''Kitty.'' She was only eleven, but she knew how to hunt. She's know to have taught her youngest brother ''Mark'' how to kill animals, and he was only five. Sigh, let's get this over with.
