I look like your typical guy from District eight, I guess I'm not that poor, we do alright considering where we live and that's reflected in the way I look. I mostly dress in older clothes, maybe some second hand jeans my brother used to wear when he was my age. I'll admit it, we aren't the richest family around but we ain't the poorest either. I'm not really that skinny if you think about it, I'm not really malnourished like I've seen the other district's kid, I'm about average weight for my age. I'm far from fat but I sure as hell ain't skinny either. I'm not even muscular either, we can't afford weights to work out 24/7.

I got really light brown hair, I get that from my mom, it's short as well. It's naturally swept to the right of my forehead. I'm Caucasian as well which goes good with my brown hair. I have quite a normal jawline, it's not weak but it's not really strong and visible either. I'm only 5'5 so I'm not tall at all, I'm only fifteen though and have time to grow. I'm like an ant compared to my brother if I'm completely honest (people compare me to him too much) it's quite annoying.

I'm only fifteen so I don't have a beard or anything and honestly I don't really want one, I hope to stay smooth for most of my life. But I am growing hair in other places which is pretty annoying. I'm also starting to get small spots on my face, I hate them, my dad says it's cos I'm going through puberty and stuff which is also why I'm growing a little bit of hair, not a lot of hair like my brother, just a little bit that's barely visible. You'd need to be in the sunlight to see it well. I got dark brown eyes which is also like my brother funnily enough. I got a long pointed nose and small ears.

I'll be perfectly honest, I'm not a 'nice guy' at all and you know what? I'm quite happy I'm not one of those guys cos nice guys finish last, all the time, it's simple as that. Do you ever see nice guys winning the Hunger Games? No. Do you ever see nice guys winning anything? No. This is no world for nice guys at all. You see I'm this gang in District eight, I do a lot of their dirty work and they give me some money, so I guess it works out. It's nothing serious like killing someone, maybe delivering some drugs for them, maybe messing up someone's house, vandalizing gardens, that kind of stuff.

At first it was something I was a bitscared of but now? I've grown used to it, they don't intimidate me so much anymore, it's like going to work everyday. My older brother knows about it but that's the only person in the family who knows, he doesn't like it but he doesn't complain, it brings in money doesn't it? I guess sometimes people get suspicious if I come home late at night with a few bruises and cuts on me but I can just come up with lame excuses for that. My brother says their bad habits are rubbing off on me, he's scared I'll start taking drugs or something stupid like that but he doesn't understand, just because I deliver drugs doesn't mean I'll take it, when I have the bags over to someone I hate those guys, they're ruining their lives by snorting that stuff up their nose.

But maybe my brother is kind of right about the habits rubbing off on me. I joined that gang when I was about twelve and ever since then I get into a fight almost everyday, they even 'recommend' I carry a knife in my bag or something in case I get jumped. Cos the problem with being a carrier is that the druggie in question might want more or can't pay up and they try to take it by force so you just kind of need to fight them off. And a guy like me could never take down a grown man with his fists so sometimes I need to defend myself with a knife or something.

But other than that my family is pretty close, us three brothers look out for each other through thick and thin and that's what true family is, the willingness to do anything to keep them safe.

Being born in District 8 is hard, I'm the second oldest of three brothers, taking care of three kids is hard. My dad worked in the textile factory, it was a boring job but it gave money so he was just kind of contempt with it. He just wanted nothing but the best for all three of us and I respect him a lot for that, I don't even think that I would take a crappy job just for children. My parents are such wonderful people and I probably wouldn't be the way I am without them.

However I knew that we'd probably need more money somehow, so that's when I came across them, the gang. I was twelve years old and I saw one of them give a bag of weed to this guy and get some money from it then he walked away. I guess I kind of followed him and then he got wind that I was following him. He turned around, decked me in the gut and held a knife to my throat, I was so scared and I thought I was going to die right then and then. I managed to quickly explain to him that I just wanted to know how he was getting money and he explained to me that it was just by drug dealing. I knew that selling drugs was wrong but we really needed the money. So I told him I wanted in and he took my to his 'boss' and I was given a job right away.

So I just started carrying drugs and giving it to people, I lied to my parents and told them I just sold some lemonade at school and they believed me, but only my older brother knew because he told me a lot. As the years went past and I grew I kept on doing this, now I have three years of experience under my belt. I had to start carrying a knife around in case I suddenly got attacked by someone who couldn't pay up or wanted to steal stuff from me. I did more and more work for these guys, sometimes I'd vandalize someone property or deliver messages, nothing too bad. I guess you could say a few of the guys there were like my friends, I became close to them and now we just back each other up.

I started getting into more fights, getting in trouble at school more but I knew that it was worth it, look at the money I was getting! So now I just do this while trying my best to bring in money. Its the least I can do.
