Apartments Good and Bad District 1

Charlette Age 13 district 1

So just about a week ago my parents told me that we would be moving into an apartment soon. My heart stopped when they did. I actually thought they were going to say that they finally saved enough money to sign me up for a career academy. I guess not. Well now I know the bigger picture. My parents won't ever pay for me to join an academy now this apartment thing is just another excuse.

So here I am a week later packing up my belongings. My stuffed animal, my 15 shirts ,and 2 long sleeved, my 6 pairs of jeans , socks ,underwear and finally 3 pairs of sneakers. Everything else sold. My parents said we had to consolidate for the apartment. I say they just don't want me fitting in with district 1. Well now that my belongings are packed I bring the 2 boxes down stairs. My parents nod ,and I exit the house. It takes me about 1 hour to get to the new apartment I was tempted to stop for a snack at the market place ,but my parents told me no. Now we are at the apartment. I look at it a smile crosses my face. The house is huge.

This had to be a joke perhaps my parents were saying it was a apartment so I would be surprised to see a better house. I grinned. Up until my parents showed me the 3 rooms we had. 1 for the bedroom 1 for the kitchen ,and my bedroom then 1 for a bathroom. I frowned. I dropped my stuff on the couch that was supposed to be my bed ,and sat there. The only good thing now is that I will be going to a better school since we are now on the richer side of district 1. Thinking about this brings me down more. School I wanted to go to school to become a career to fit in, not to learn useless stuff about Panem.
