Sweat form on Milan's forehead by the work of transferring rice bags back and forth in what felt like 40 degree weather. He lifts his arm with no strength to wipe away the wet mess building up on his face and brushing his blond locks out of his eyes making him see more clearer than before. He runs on a strict schedule provided from district 56.

District 56 schedule:

Wake up: 6:40am

Breakfast: 6:55am

Jobs: 7:00am

Lunch: 2:00pm

Training: 2:45pm

Dinner: 5:00pm

Lights out: 8:00pm

Milan belonged to the richer/higher ranking family. The more money you have, the more respect you gain from lower ranks. Milan was taken from his family at the age of 14 and has stayed at district 56 for 3 years. A boy missing his family and feeling that the whole system is meritless.

"U ok?" Natalie sighed, becoming more comfortable in her chair.

"I want to get out of this crappy place" Milan responded with a sharp sigh.

"Haven't you heard what happens if you get caught escaping?" she asked with clear concern in her tone.

He looked at Natalie with a nod. For some reason, the wave of confidence hit him.

"Nat. could you hand me my black hoodie please?" he pushed his hand out to catch the throw.

"What are you gonna do?" Natalie said

"Nothing i just want to get ready for training"

"Let me fix ur hair cause its a big mess right now" she goes, straddling him as she brushes the hair up and putting on conditioner.

"Much better" she smiles.

Then the sirens go

"A STUDENT HAS ESCAPED, I REPEAT A STUDENT HAS ESCAPED, PLEASE STAY IN YOUR ASSIGNED DORM FOR THE DERATION OF THIS EMERGENCY. IF A STUDENT ISNT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION, THEY WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES"
