As Caden walks away from the stage Brielle shouts, "Next up, Lukkas Tittlei!"
The Careers hold in their laughs when they hear my last them. I ignore them and walk up to the stage in my buttoned black jacket and these neat black flare pants, which I got surprised with since I'm a guy. When I sit in the chair, taking off my conductor cap, Brielle asks, "So Lukkas, why do you think you'll win?"
Well, that's kind of a tough question. But this is for my sponsors. Probably. I smile and say, "Some people back in Six don't expect me to survive, because I'm only twelve. But I'm actually pretty fast, to be honest. I just pretend I'm a train and my feet are the wheels. And that's how I got skinny."
The audience chuckles as Brielle asks, "Do you think your body will be a disadvantage?"
"Not really," I reply. "I haven't actually fought before. I mean, there's thousands of people in that bowl and I'm only a few of them. I'm used to watching trains and helping my father. I really didn't expect to get picked. Anyway, here I am, and I never really worked out for it. But it'll be fine. I've seen past Games and I never really practiced the moves I saw, but I think it'll be easy."
"How do you plan to get sponsors?"
"I don't know, to be honest. But they just may be surprised by my strength. And me too. Like I said, I never worked out since I never expected to be here, but I remember having to push this rock out of the way of the train. And it wasn't much trouble."
Brielle and I stand up and join hand, him holding mine up. "Lukkas Tittlei, District Six!"
