Start from the beginning
                                    

I closed my eyes. A small nap wouldnt hurt right?

Wrong.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I sat up and checked the time. 7:40 am.

Shit. it wasnt just a nap I slept the whole day. I quickly got up and changed into something that had been layed out for me a small note saying:

Enjoy your sleep you deserve it Xx 

- Mum

I smiled before changing.

I ran downstairs and was met with my father

I ran downstairs and was met with my father. He looked disapointed and angry.

I walked over quickly.

"Explain why you were found asleep yesteeday when you had duities to do." He hissed.

"Im very sorry father," I began. "I was-" I was cut off by his hand slapping my cheek.

I stumbled back a few steps from the force behind it.

My back collided with the wall causing me to fall down it.

"Your so pathetic. I cant belive you. You are a waste of time." He said harshly. Before he left he kicked my stomach.

"Oww.." I muttered.

I saw my mum rushing over. "Darling are you ok?" She asked worried.

"Yes.." I replied trying to stop her worrying about me.

"Ok.. lets go eat breakfast." She said before leaving me to go the kitchen to grab breakfast.

When she came back she has to plates and we sat opposite eachother.

While eating she asked. "When are you leaving?"

"At 8:10." I replied before putting some strawberrys in my mouth.

"Thats only in 20 minutes." She said after checking her watch.

"I'll be fine dont worry." I reasured her.

"Are you sure? You hate meeting new people." She said.

"Mother, I'll be fine Jungwon is going representing his family anyway. I wont be alone." I said.

"Fine but if your uncomftable just text me and I can arrange someone to say your needed imidiatly at home." She said.

I laughed. "I will." I said.

We continued talking. I was consurned about mother. She kept coughing. It was harsh. Not like normal.

"Darling you need to get going. Dont want your father to get mad again do we." She joked.

"No mother. I will see you when I get back." I said while putting my shoes on.

"Bye Darling." She said while waving.

"Bye." I said waving back.

I left the house. Immidatly camara flashes iluminated my face. I hated when this happened. I was caged into a square. I couldnt get to the car.

I looked around and a few people steped forward.

"Hello sir we are from District 1 news could you tell us about what you are doing today." A woman said holding a mic up to my face.

"I would love to but I am in a rush today and have somewhere to be." I said politly.

It was clear she ignored me.

"Sir where are you going today?" She asked again shoving the mic in my face again.

I walked around her and the people staning behind her. A small passage was made for me to get through. I quickly headed to the car waiting for me. Opening the door and jumping inside.

When I got to the meeting place.

I jumped out of the car walking into the building. My father was supposed to be here with me but he left before I did.

I saw a small group of people around my age  gathered around a phone. After seeing me they looked at me wierdly before goimg back to watching something on one of their phones.

I sat on the couch. Jungwon wasnt here yet so I sat waiting for him.

About 5 minutes later he walked through the door and sat next to me.

"Hey!" He said.

"Hi." I replied.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Alright you?" I replied.

"Im good." He said.

A womans voice was heared over the speakers.

"Representives please head to meeting room two." 

Me and Jungwon stood up and walked to the room. I noticed that the boys from before also walked to the room.

After everybody walked into the room and the door was clicked a small click was heared.

"What was that?" Jungwon asked.
