CH: 2 Goodbye
I wait in silence for my friends and family to say good bye and then the door bursts open and In comes my Mother and Sadie, they are both crying.
"Will you promise me something Amber?" Sadie asks with a hiccup the end. "Sure, Anything" I reply, "Try to win, I mean really try". I think about what she says she must know deep down inside I have no chance of winning but I can't tell that to Sadie.
"I promise" I say. She smiles, my mother steps up and gives me a locket, "It was your grandmothers I put a picture of me and Sadie in it so you can remember us". I jump up and give her a big hug and whisper "thank you". Then the peace keepers rush in and take my mother and Sadie out.
Then my last visitor is my only friend Rein. "I should have volunteered for Sadie instead of you" she cries. I reply "No, that's almost as bad as losing her". "You know I can't win so don't try to sugar coat it "I say after a long period of silence. "Yes you can! I've seen your marks in school, your way smarter than me, you can outsmart the rest of them" "Ok, I will try for you and for Sadie and for my mother. Then the peace keepers take her out and then I'm lead to the train station where I bored the train and begin my trip to the capital.
