Sophie - District 8
Thinking

Others Talking
Waking up to another great day in District 8 isn't always the best feeling in the world. A normal child would be kindly woken up by their parents, or at the very least an alarm clock. But no, not me, I have to wake up to my sister's nagging and annoyance. "Sophie! Get out of the god damn bed! We have to get to school you dummy. I'm not waiting for you again!" My sister and I have had a terrible past ever since my brother was killed during a piece keeper riot 6 years ago. She blames me for the tragedy because I didn't try to stop him from going. As I get out of bed and walk downstairs, I get a quick glance on the games and the deaths from yesterday. The tributes from 2, 5, and both from 7 are dead. This got me in a kind of good mood because both the tributes from 8 were still alive.
Honestly I hate it here in District 8. The weather is awful, the other girls are mean as hell, and the guys only look average at best. After I put on my makeup, I walk downstairs to find my sister has already left for school. That wasn't the surprising part, she had done this to me multiple times before. The surprising part was that she took both her coat and my own. Now I would have to walk through the cold to school my myself. "Thanks for being as annoy as the Capitol Julie!" I shout knowing nobody could hear. I quickly grab my school supplies and run out of the house.
As I walk outside in the freezing cold, I realize that I'm going to be late to school so I began to run. I take a shortcut through the forest so that I can get there faster. I fallowed my brother and sister through here once so I knew my way around the area. Just then I trip over a rock or a rout or some kind of uneven ground and I come crashing to the flow. An intense pain rushed through my body when I hit the ground. The pain came from around my ankle. Maybe I twisted it or something. I look around and see nobody nearby. I start to shiver in the freezing cold. "Help! Is anybody there?" I scream loudly, hopefully someone will hear my cries for help.
