Walking to class, I see everyone dressed in the lousy school uniform. Slacks, dark blue polo with the World Delegation logo on the left chest. Everyones shirts have faded over the year, which makes living in Sector 3 even more dull. But today is a special day, the beginning of the 26th year since the Rebellion. So yesterday was the day that this years school supplies were handed out. Two notebooks, one binder, one uniform shirt, six pens, six pencils, and one pair of gloves. Everything with the 26th Year Delegation logo on it and your name. Everyone rushes to our first class of the day wearing our new uniform shirts, with pep and fear that only comes once every other year.

I walk in and sit in my assigned desk and take out my notebook. The logo of the 26th year delegation on the front looks the best it has ever looked. So modern and clean. With this being the year of the 13th Rebel Olympic Games, the Olympic logo is mixed in as well. My name is cleanly printed across the bottom in a beautiful font. Tony Heart, in skinny narrow white letters. Atleast they didn't misspell my name again. Everyone files in and sits in assigned desks and prepares for class. No one speaks to one another. No friendly conversations are held. All that is heard is the busteling of movement. Our teacher walks in wearing his new Educators Uniform, a vest with the same logo on the left chest on top of a long sleeve button up. He glances around the room and sits at his desk in the front of the room. As he prepares for the day, everyone else settles in and prepare themselves for the next few minutes. I sit, eyes closed, holding my head in my hands. I liked the darkness of my eyelids. It created my own little space, where I am free to be me. But I soon get brought back to life in Sector 3 when the screen begins rolling down.

Everyone gets out of their school desks and stand facing the screen. No one moans or complains, but it is tense in the room. We are told to be excited, but it is hard when some people dread this day, I do. But my best friend, Haley Sims doesn't. She loves the thrill and excitement. Today is the day the Rebel Olympic Games are announced.

As we wait for the screen to light up, I imagine everyone in the world stopping and watching the closest screen. For some, is this an enjoyable moment? Or is this dreaded by everyone? The screen lights up with the royal blue background and the red World Delegation Logo. A majestic eagle holding the Rebel Olympic Rings in its talons with two dark red flames with a blue circle in the middle of each flame on each side. The Delegates Anthem plays loudly, booming through the classroom, the streets, and all buildings. It is one of the only pieces of music allowed, and is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. The long sounds with the high tones and the short fast sounds with the low tones playing at the same time is almost as majestic as the eagle. As the anthem plays, everyone stands up straight, fixes their clothes, and smiles. As if the World President will be able to see us. Us out of everyone in the world. We have been told exactly what to do by the elders, and what will happen if we don't do it. "President Crow will be watching you, so be sure to smile," they say. "We want Sector 3 to look as presentable as possible." They explain.

The anthem ends and President Crown fades onto the screen. Behind him is a picture of the World Delegation Logo, and he is standing behind a black metal podium with the same logo on it. He begins to speak by clearing his throat. "Good morning on this the first day of the first month of the 26th year since the World Rebellion." He speaks with such a demanding and sarcastic tone. He sounds as if he were trying to win an election of some sort, and he knows he has already won. "I am proud to announce that the Rebel Olympic Games will be held in Sector 4, as the rules state, "Each Rebel Olympic Games shall be held in the Olympiad Region of the Sector which produced the last Champion." Because of this, Sector 4 is exempt from the 13th Rebel Olympic Games. The Selection will be held in exactly three days in the Olympiad Region of each Sector. After the Selection, more information will be released about this years Rebel Olympic Games. May everyone have a successful an meaningful day."
