Why me?

Why did I have to go into the games?

Why did I have to do that?

"Why?" I whispered.

I ran straight into my room and thought. About everything. My life in Sellet. Tori from Bep. Everything.

I thought some more. If I did win, they said the boys are not from Ramuff. That was a relief. Most people raised in Ramuff are pretty snobby.

I dated about 3 guys from Ramuff. Never again. They hit me, they kicked me and they threw me. Out in public, they made us hold hands. They all forced me to kiss them. Threatened to kill me. I moved to Sellet from Homip. Sellet isn't a nice place, but no Ramuff people live there. Too poor I guess. I used to have money. Now, I'm lucky to get a single kojif.

(A/N Kojif is a pound, euro, dollar etc.)

I found 8 Kojif in the drawer by my bed. I slipped a note in the envelope and put the Kojif in.

"Send to," I said sternly into a mailing device, holding the envelope up to a scanner. The scanner beeped, meaning I could send the letter through the tube.

I hope my mother is okay. She is the one who could brighten up the darkest moment.

That got me thinking about sad moments.

Then the word replayed in my mind, coming through after the thoughts were gone. Like the sun peeking out of the clouds - but darker.
