People always tell me what to do or who to be. And I really hate it, I hate it to the rotten core of this planet. But I ask myself why do I stick up with something I don't like? Why don't you go and change it to fit your best interest? But the real question is why even do it? From what I have learned from my 12 short years on this earth is that people that can help you don't help. They don't want to help because they think they are better then you. And that's why I don't try to change anything because there is no use. Never was, never will.

It was late afternoon, after lunch time when I decided to go escape from everyone. Summer used to be my favorite thing to look forward to but now it's when school actually starts . I wad walking down to the town square college to just rest and observe. It was always busy there. Young people learning and passerby's so busy in going somewhere they forget to stop and look around. I had my favorite bench that I like to sit on with a perfect view if everything

When I sat on that bench with my cookie I bought from the baker on the way here with the money I manage to steal from my fathers wallet when he wasn't looking. Breaking off a small piece I stuck it in my mouth letting the flavour soak in.

IT'S A VERY, VERY, MAD WORLD!

I woke with a start yet again. For some reason, I've been having trouble sleeping lately. And even once I do fall asleep, those same weird dreams would come back..

"Whatever..", I say aloud, only to myself. "It's gotta stop sometime, right?!" I instantly reach for something to throw. It's not fair that I have to be plagued with such thoughts and memories.. all because of you.

"Mom, I'm going to walk!" I yell toward the back of the house, then leave without waiting for a reply.

As I arrive at the college, I see the crowds already starting to form, so I try and stay out of the way until I see a girl about my age sitting on a bench. "Hey, I haven't seen you around much. My name's Viggo. Nice to meet you!"

A boy walks up to me and greats me, telling me his name. I observe him, before I speak. Setting down my cookie and brushing of the crumbles of the soft crisp left behind I look at him. "Um - Hi. I am Rita." I say carefully. I never really talked much, even before the big switch. I was shy and well, not really up for any interaction out of my circle.

"Maybe I should just stop trying", I thought silently to myself. I've never been one to strike conversations, to make friends. That's why I don't have very many! She totally thinks I'm weird. Well, maybe she's just having an off day.. I know I am.

"Well, Rita, nice to meet you. I don't think we have any classes together here at the college, do we? , I ask, without making any eye contact. Sometimes I wish I made friends easier. I really do. I never know what to say.

"Well, Rita, nice to meet you. I don't think we have any classes together here at the college, do we?" he says to me, not looking at me when he speaks. I raise my my eyebrows slightly but then sort of give a smile smile.

"Um - I am only 12 so I don't go to college. I go to the Grade School." I say. Wasn't that silly of him to think I go to the college? I am not 19, which is when people actually go to college.

Duh. Of course we don't. I'm only in one class here myself, and that's just because Dad got me special permissions.. I'm one of the only teens taking a class here.

My mouth was dry, and my cheeks were red. "Well, I'm dumb. I meant grade school. I was just thinking about the prep course I have here tonight.", I said, chuckling. She probably thinks I'm mentally impaired.

"Well, I'm dumb. I meant grade school. I was just thinking about the prep course I have here tonight." His cheeks went red and I felt bad when they did. I didn't mean to embarrass him, I am just, well, practical.

"Your not dumb if you take classes here." I say pointing it out. I wish I could take extra classes to learn about knew things but that would never happen. It's expensive and time consuming. Two things that weren't in my parents liking.

"Well, it's just a prep course.. I really do want to try and get in to college early, though. I want to make District 6 rich, like 1 and 2 are. That's my dream. For kids like us to have the same opportunities as those kids."

Even though it's probably impossible. The Capitol dictates most of those things. I don't care how much good I would be able to do once I'm grown, they will make sure District 6 stays exactly how it is now..

"So what about you, Rita? Do you have any special dreams you wanna share?", I ask.

When I said class he disagreed with me. "Well, it's just a prep course.. I really do want to try and get in to college early, though. I want to make District 6 rich, like 1 and 2 are. That's my dream. For kids like us to have the same opportunities as those kids." I nod. "We are one of the richer districts." I point out. "But we don't get the opportunities because we aren't careers. No careers, no victors. Therefore we are left in the dust. I say. When Viggo can get District 6 to win the Games he should let me know.

Then Viggo trend to me. "So what about you, Rita? Do you have any special dreams you wanna share?" He asks. I pause fir a moment before answering. I never really thought about having a dream. I shake my head, "I don't have a dream." I say quickly as honest as it gets. Dreams are for rich kids who can accomplish them. I am a average girl.

"We may be better off than the lower districts, but I still don't think it's fair how half of the people in District 1 don't even have to work for a living.. that's absolutely crazy."

Truth be told, I knew deep down it had to do with the Games. I can't even remember the last winner from 6. And the longer I thought about it, the more I realized what the answer was.. 6 did not want to win. They treated the reaping like being led to slaughter. Even if that's how it was, effort should be put in to it..

"Maybe if we DID have careers.. maybe District 6 could get those opportunities.", I said, very deep in thought now.

"We may be better off than the lower districts, but I still don't think it's fair how half of the people in District 1 don't even have to work for a living.. that's absolutely crazy." I laugh. I don't mean to but I do. This kid was something because he is the little bit of people that actually think society would change for us one day. I wasn't that stupid it would always stay the same, it has for so many years. "Yeah, right. Like the Capitol cares if it's fair or not!"

Truth be told, I knew deep down it had to do with the Games. I can't even remember the last winner from 6. And the longer I thought about it, the more I realized what the answer was.. 6 did not want to win. They treated "We may be better off than the lower districts, but I still don't think it's fair how half of the people in District 1 don't even have to work for a living.. that's absolutely crazy."

I picked out a piece of chocolate from the cookie with my finger tips. "Maybe if we DID have careers.. maybe District 6 could get those opportunities." Viggo commented, starting to drift off in deep thought. "Good luck finding careers, who would want to do that with their lives? "
