The first hunger games- Abandoned

Chapter six: the secret

Every day, we have an engineering class since our district specializes in transportation. Today, it's right after lunch. It is quit interesting though, if you're not doing the same thing everyday. As I walk into class, I remember another two reasons why I love this class. Emerald and I sit next to each other, and, we get to work at real desks and we get chairs instead of stools. As I go to sit down, I realize that our teacher isn't here yet. And of course, just as I think that, she walks in. As she starts the class, we are told that we will be reading about the capitols trains and then filling out a worksheet. You can hear moans throughout the whole classroom, and mine are mixed in there. It's no fun reading about it, especially if you have to fill out a worksheet after, it's much more fun when we actually get to work with things. Like engines, and once we got to examine an actual piece of railroad track, that was cool, this, not so much.

As I'm finishing up the second question, I start to hear static and then our presidents voice. I can hear chatter all over the room as to why he would be talking straight to us, but I know that this is just a recording that he sent with some Capitol attendant or whatever to play over the speaker, you can tell by the crackle and the background noises of Capitol people's high pitched voices rambling on, it's very discreet though. These talkative people where probably about fourteen meters away at the time. I have an amazing sense of hearing, I can pick up what most people can't, I can also tell distance by there voices and the sound of their footsteps. I'm not sure exactly how, I guess it's just a gift. "Citizens of panem" snow starts "this evening at exactly eight o clock there will be a very important announcement, it is a mandatory viewing. Thank you" with that, the speaker goes dead and chatter is heard all over the school. "What do you think it could be?" Emerald asks "I'm not sure, obviously something important" I say "you don't think he's going to punish us or something, for starting a rebellion, do you?" Emerald asks with a worried expression "I don't think so, haven't they already done that by killing off so many people, and by making the people who survived have to live in these conditions." I answer. Although I have a bad felling about this announcement, what could they possibly do to us? Obliterate another district? No, they wouldn't tell us if they where going to do that, take all of our food away? We barely have any as it is. We would all starve to death in a matter of weeks. Then I look at the time, and see that it's time for our last class of the day. As I head out the door a bunch of kids start to follow and walk to the next class as well. Emerald catches up to me as I head out the door. "Have a nice day, I'll see you all tomorrow!" our teacher hollers at the class as they file out into the hall with the rest of the classes filling out into the hall as well.
