Holding on ( A hunger games story)

Taking Cair part two

  It didn't take long for life to get back to normal, and I realized just how busy normal was. Just three days later the thought of the kids, prim, work and Gale, gave me enough to think that Peeta wasn't even there. Work was going really well, the kids were beginning to warm up to me, but I hadn't attempted to go into detail about what happened in the arena. Also my schedule had been switched and I now taught only 11th and 12th grade. Which I was fine by me.

  "Hey babe? Where's the... nevermind! I found it!" That's something else that was new, me and Gale started dating. It's been wonderful, I finally feel like I'm with the right person.

  "Good! I gotta go take the kids to daycare and then head of to work! See ya!" He comes in with a dish towel hanging over his shoulder and plants a short kiss on my lips and then I walk out. 

Starting yesterday I am borrowing a car from a friend of mine. Her name is Cailyn, she teaches with me at the school! She's the math teacher for the grades I am but is on vacation and is allowing me to borrow the car during the short time.

  That's another new thing, the capitol is now a vacation spot. It has resorts and plenty of sights to see. The capitol people are now our slaves, and they run everything. Anyone who does not follow these directions is subjected to harder work.

I arrive at the school about ten minutes later and find my designated parking lot. After parking I walked in the building and headed for my classroom. I taught 12th grade first and I had decided that I would attempt to talk about the games again. It was actually a 8-week lesson that I had planned about a week ago! When I arrive at the classroom I begin setting up for the test that the students will take before we begin the new lesson. It seems like no time at all that the first student arrives and takes a seat. Soon the class if filled up and begin my lesson.

  "Good morning students. Today you will be taking a test,  but after we will be starting a new unit. It will be about the hunger games, and the rebellion! Now before you get to excited... let's take the test. It is on the history of the 12 districts, and who founded them. I hope you all studied!" Excited whispers filled the once silent room, I waited a little for quiet and then handed out the three page test.

  I made my way back to my desk, and started to grade tests from last week. They were based on the way presidents were voted into the office after world war 3, after North America was destoryed and the capitol and districts took the place. The North America was a strange place before the war that affected almost every part. It was all about electronics, and twerking. I mean who wants to shake their butt in someone elses face? Some people wore almost no clothing in cold weather, by choice. It all seems very ridicoulous! Well whatever, we won't ever go back to that so who cares?

  Now for the papers.. I think to myself as i catch myself daydreaming again.

1. Who was the first president to rule after WW3?

1. President Snow. Correct!

I finished the other 30 quizs, they all had 40 questions and by that time all the students were done with the tests. I walked around and collected, sticking them on my desk and thinking about how much i will be taking home,

"Alright class, lets talk about the rebellion and the games. Just remember everyone, this was real. You will be one of the last generations that can say you lived through, lost friends and family." I look at Cair for a second and she looks down in hurt. " That means it is up to you. It is up to you to keep the lost ones in your hearts. You can't let them go. If you do, the same thing could happen again. This is real! This happened. Some of you lost someone to the games. Most of you lost someone to the war. I'm not going to pretend that I know how it feels. I don't have to. You all know my story! You all know I killed people in the games AND in the war. I am a young adult, you are older kids. It is our responisblity to prevent this from EVER happening again. A popular saying from before the World War 3 was history repeats itself. This history can't. It just can't." Cair was now staring back at me in awe, and so were all the kids. I looked at Cair again while i finished up my little rant. " We are all hurting, we have all lost someone, but we can't let the past dictate the present. It has to dicate the future. Our future." Silence filled the room as every word I said sank into the hearts of the kids. I let it sink into mine to. I realized that I had to the oppurtunity to make sure it didn't happen again. I had the oppurtunity to  make an impact and I was going to take it.

 I clicked on the TV and the room was complety silent as the kids watched the anthem they had heard many times before. When it had finished I handed out a stack of papers I had printed off the night before.

"For this lesson we will be watching re-caps of some of the hunger games including my own.Your parent or guarding must sign this paper in order for you to watch these. If you do not have one please see me after class so we can discuss what to do, Your dismissed." They all filed out of the classroom without a word and I waited for the next class to come in.

A/n: Ok! So theres the next chapter! Now let me make myself clear... I am not insulting anyone that like twerking or wearing no clothing but how do you think that looks to someone from the future? Also, it is time for the kids to learn about the games! Yay! Itss going to be very dramatic!

Also, I will NOT be posting the next chapter until the follwing happen!

-I get ten votes

-I get five comments (from different people, in case you were thinking you would type hello five time)

This is because people dont comment or like so I dont know your feedback. If you dont like something, say it! It will make better chapters in the future! If you do like something, say it! It will allow me to understand what my readers like and be able to use more in the future! My story is based on the feedback of my readers! If I don't get any well... It tells me people arent to thrilled about my book and I should consider trying a different approach in another book.

I am  not doing this for attention. I am doing this so I know whether people honeslty like my book or not! So thanks so much and I love you all!
