The game for life.

Chapter 2

Like I said, I cold winter night. The night before the "unlucky family" is chosen. Everyone had the question in there head. Who will it be. My mom thinks it will be the Johnson's my dad thinks it will be the Hamilton's, but I honestly don't know. How can I. I am a child. I don't understand politics. I barley understand the state war.

I woke up the next morning early, hoping to pick a nice outfit before my sister gets to the closet. Every time she gets changed she takes a 30 clothing items and only uses 3. Total waste. Then I get stuck wearing the most hoody thing in the universe. But, my sister was already in the closet and that didn't matter at this ceremony.
Hello my mom said.
Hello mom.
I have something really nice for you to wear today. Come to my room and I will show you!

So I followed my mom to her bedroom. On her bed layer the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. It was pink, a hot pink color, with rhinestones. Is that for me?I asked.
Yes, said my mom.
I love It!
I put on the dress. It fit me perfectly.
I love it mom, but, where did you get such a beautiful dress.
Well, sweetheart, you know how since Washington DC is not a state they do not have to compete in the state war.
Yes, I said.
Well, I used to live there. This is what I wore when I was 11. I was old enough to sit in the front row. Just like how you are old enough to sit with the older girls.
Wow! But how did you get here to Washington DC, and why would you leave?
Well, I met your dad when I was 16 at a choosing ceremony. We used to sneak out of our homes to the barrier in between Virginia and DC. Dad used to live in Virginia. Then, one day I snuck over the wall and my and your father ran away to New Hampshire so we could get married. Then we had Adam, then Charlie then, You.

Wow mom.

Then it was time to leave. We went to the Olive Garden on what used to be Daniel Webster Highway. All of New Hampshire got in that parking lot. There is only 267 people I New Hampshire now, and it is all because of the stupid state war.

Maya West, the Washington DC advisor came be the one that tells us what family has been chosen.

Hello everyone! My name is Maya West and I am from Washington DC. As you all know today is the day I tell you all what family from New Hampshire has been chosen. But, first I should remind you all of the rules. When the family is chosen only the kids will come up because adults 21 and older can not participate. So without further ado, can Adam, Charlie and Amelia East come up please.

I tried to stay calm. But I inside I wanted to cry. It is us, Out of 45 families it is us!! How? But we still went up because 5 years ago someone tried to fight DC but that did not end pretty. Welcome! Welcome! Adam, Charlie and Amelia. May I ask, how old are you? 17,16 and 13, said Charlie.
Wow you are all so grown up. But, now it is time for you three to make the choice, who will be the contestant in the state war?

I thought to myself, Adam is good at the mental challenges and Charlie is good at the sports challenges, but, the stink at the other one. Adam needs to stay to make money and Charlie needs to stay to train because she has skills to become a soldier and get our family on the good side of the general. I am useless. They need Adam and Charlie, nobody needs Amelia.
So I finally spot those words out!

It will be me!!! I shouted.
Adam and Charlie seemed surprised.
And we have our contestant, miss Amelia East!!
Adam and Charlie were escorted off stage but I stayed up there for a few minutes. Then, I was escorted backstage.
