Default Title - Write Your Own

Chapter 1

          My name is Aihana. My father is a Mechanic, my mom is a stay at home mom, my brother is still in school, and I get picked for my job today. Jobs are picked depending on skills, you're put through a whole lot of skills tests broadcasted live through out the state. I live in New York, the Government controls everything. There are cameras everywhere, the cameras are in case anyone breaks the rules. There are plenty of rules, if you break one it doesn't end well.

The rules go like this.
-Each family can only have 2 children
-Children must go to school until the age of 15 when they will be considered an adult
-Each person over the age of 14 must have a job and must hold a that job until reassigned
-Each unhealthy newborn or elder must be held in a separate district. (The Medical District)
-Everyone must be in their home between the time of 7pm and 7am
-there is no smoking and no drinking for anyone under the age of 15 
-No one must rebel against any of these rules

          The last rule that I left out is 'No one must leave your assigned district' which  is pretty easy to follow since anyone who gets too close to the fence gets shot. Kids over the age of 4 don't get toys, it distracts from learning. Well time for the skills testing, up first; art.

           I got home finally done with my job, I was assigned at the nursery. I got home just in time for dinner and just before 7pm. I change out of my outfit into "home only" clothes and sit at the table with my family for dinner, the only meal families eat together. My mother talks to my brother about school and what he did today and then looks over at me. "What did you do today, hun?"
"Cared for newborns is all" I mess with my food a little bit
"You sound upset, what's bothering you sweetie?"
"Nothing, I'm fine"

        After that we all sit in silence and eat, then go to our rooms. Everyone must be in bed by 9pm or you will face the consequences. Suddenly I hear the guards yelling outside and the district ruler comes on over the speakers. "It seems as though the cameras have malfunctioned. Guards will be at your doors immediately. One guard assigned per house to stand watch until the cameras come back on. With that good night everyone."

          With that hello freedom, goodbye rules. I climb out of bed and throw on sweatpants and a hoodie and grab my pocket radio. I grab a book bag and stuff it with things I may need in the next few days and climb out my window. I rush to my best friends house, his name is James. I climb up the ladder into his room and and jump on him being sure to muffle the scream that comes out of his mouth. "Shush James it's just me" I whisper
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Get up and grab your shit, lets go"
"Where to?"
"Stop asking questions and grab your shit before they can catch us, hurry!"
         
          He climbs out of bed doing the same thing I did except he grabs a duffle bag and throws in clothes, the essentials and some weapons. He meets me down behind his house and we make a run for it ducking behind trash cans and anything big enough to hide us finally making it to the fence. We can't get over it, around it, or under it. The fence is too tall and electric. "What now" I hear his faint whisper
"I don't know"
