Her

Chapter 2

                                                                                                146's POV
     As I walked into the train in a straight line and sat down, my back perfectly straightened, I saw a girl scramble into the train, and jump into her seat slouching. Another man in a white suit walked into the train calmly, and grabbed the girl's arm, pulling her off the train.
She must be much to young. She looked around 13 years old from what I saw of my companions. I wonder how she escaped....
I thought, keeping a poker face on. I dozed off, still sleeping with a perfect posture, ready to take on my new life.

*************************************************************************************************************

     I awoke when the train stopped, and I stood and joined the line to go to the Assignment Facility. After 5.3 minutes,  we arrived at a white building, with white marble doors and perfect, shined pearls engraved in the walls. We were escorted inside, and made our way up onto a white stage that contained a white podium. A man with brown, short cropped hair in a white suit stood at the podium. We lined up onto the stage.
      A boy with black hair stood just an inch out of place, and another man in a white suit escorted him out of the building. I looked ahead of me and saw many people in white clothing, the women in shirts and skirts, and the men in shirts and trousers. I wondered -for the first time in my life- which of them would be our parents. You see, our biological mother was only our mentor. After that, you may never see your mother again. The man who was standing at the podium spoke in a deep, but soothing voice, that seemed to hide something.
          "Good day Everyone." He smiled.
"We have gathered here today to let these little thirteen year olds start their lives. I am The Apprentice, The helper to The Creator, And we will now give out lives."
The Creator? The Creator was the head of our government, The Creation, who ratified all laws. The only other jobs in The Creation were The Apprentice, and the Congress. They made the laws. Only 300 lucky people out of the population of 2,999 got to be in Congress. A few spots were left open for the thirteen year olds now, my Mother had told me.
"Number 1, please step forward for your assigned life."
A boy with light brown hair slowly, but Stably, walked to the podium.
"Number 1, Your name is James."
I listened to many, many more names being called out, until I heard Number 145 called. That was my companion in the orb, who I had lived with for the past 13 years.
" Number 145, Your name is Jenna, You work as a food organizer." A food organizer? That is one of the lowest jobs you can get. You help set out food on tables for the entire population. Poor Jenna. The Apprentice continued.
"You will live with Martha and Harold, Your hobby is sewing, Your best friend is Chloe, and Your Enemy is Cassandra. You dislike oranges, and Love strawberries."
Whoever Cassandra must be, That Poor Girl. Jenna Had always smiled at me and nodded when I woke up, Given me some of her Rations of food, and generally been kind- except I had never heard her speak. We could not talk in the orb, after all.
      He Then Called out
"Number 146."
That was my Number. I walked up to the Podium, Very Nervous.
"Number 146, Your Name is Cassandra."
No! Nobody had the Same name in "This" So Only I could be Jenna's Enemy. I hoped my best friend was kind. He started to speak again.
"You will live with Carla and Stephen. You will work as a Congresswoman in The Creation." Hooray! At least I got to influence laws in "This". He spoke again. "Your hobby is knitting, Your Best Friend is Vanessa, and Your Enemy is Jenna. You dislike Pomegranates, and you Love Blueberries."
The Apprentice handed me a dog tag necklace made of Titanium, with a piece of Lab Alexandrite, the Birthstone Of June,  engraved in it. On it, My name, Job, and Parents were inscribed. It was also the key to the building in which would do your job, your home, and the Food Facility. It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was to wear that necklace everyday- every minute, every second- for the rest of my life. All of the Citizens Of "This" got one, with a gem engraved on it, Their birthstone.
     I walked down to two people standing, my parents. I only heard that my other companion in the orb, 147, Now Vanessa, Was to be my Best Friend. She always took from my Food Rations. I hoped I would not see her. She was to be A Guard. Guards Inforce rules ,and make sure nobody breaks laws. If they do, They get sent to "That".
       After the ceremony was Finished, I walked with my parents to our white car, which was hard to find as everyone in "This" had a white car. I sat down on the white seat, and looked out of the windows. All I saw was white buildings, All the Same Height, With little Words inscribed  on the front of them- The name of what Job they housed. I was excited to go to my new home, to work at The Creation, To do everything "This" offered.
Little did I know how little time I would spend in My new Home.
