Wish I was someone else (Knox Woodall)

[Campion/Darkday]

I watch the kids playing in the square, they still think the games are a thing of glory. They envy ones they see on the screens, oh why can't I still be like them so careless so happy. I stand up and walk towards my house thinking I'll get my fishing pole, lets hope there's fish in these lonely waters. I grab my fishing pole and look to the pond someone is already fishing I hope they don't talk to me.

I'm not really thinking of anything right now. I'm just kind of... in a silent moment. Then this other guy comes to break my silence. I hide my frustration and just look up at him and smile.

"Whats up?" I ask.

(sorry, don't feel like writing right now)

[Campion/Darkday]

(okay ill work with what you gave me)

Why does this always happen to me I think to myself, right when I just want to be alone someone always wants to talk. "oh I just thought that fishing would take my mind off of things. have caught you anything?" I ask. Well at least she looks like a decent person to talk to.

Elorette
"Actually," I say, "I haven't really been paying much attention." I really haven't been thinking about my fishing pole at all. I was thinking how easy it is to kill someone. That it might be worth it to be in the hunger games, but this isn't something I say to a stranger. They'll think I'm crazy or something. I don't know.

(jeez i'm having a bad writing day today)

[Campion/Darkday]

"then what have you been paying attention to?", I say. this girl seems familiar I've probably just seen her around the district though. I wish I knew her, she seems nice but then again I'm probably just going to die in next years games, so why should I have friends.

Elorette
"Nothing," I say simply. I look back at the fishing pole I'm holding. I've probably been sitting here for an hour. This is stupid. We have to work just to get none of what we work for. The only thing we get money off of is winners in the Hunger Games, and that's not a great thing to win money off of is it? But even if I did get in the games... I would try and win. All the districts hate us career districts, but is it really a bad thing to be rich. Is it a bad thing to try and raise your chances of winning?

I eye the person in front of me, wondering what kind of person he is. What would he do if he was in the games? I don't know him well enough to figure it out, so I might as well not try, huh?

[Campion/Darkday]

"Whats your name?" I ask. She has a pained expression on her face, I hope I can her mind off things.

Elorette
"Elorette," I say boredly. Introductions are soooo tedious. "Yours?" I ask in the polite voice whenever I'm doing all the boring manners. I'm still trying to figure out what he's like. What kind of person is he? I think I've struck out the killing maniacs already, and the overly kind softies. Those are the two extremes and there isn't usually anyone who's like that. He looks pretty much like the average person-right in the middle. I'm so sick of average people. I have to remind myself not to judge to soon.

[Campion/Darkday]

"Elorrette," She says. That's a pretty name.

"Yours?" she asks. She looks as though she doesn't care and just trying to figure me o

"I'm Knox, and if your wondering I'm also a trained killing machine. I hate being a career and I hate what my parents made me" I say genuinely. I hope she doesn't hate me now that she knows what I am.

I thingy my had at him for and stare at him for a couple of moments. Then my face breaks out into a grin. "Don't worry, I'm not going to eat you," I say. It's true. He looks really nervous. Good for him. He's a killing machine, but he hates being one. That's an odd combination. That brings me back to the question; What am I? I've killed someone before and it was really easy, not to mention somewhat fun. But just thinking that killing someone is fun makes me shiver.

I stare at my fishing pole for a couple of seconds then finally decide that there's no real point in fishing except to stay and talk to Knox and I don't believe in excuses. I start to gather my stuff up, back into my bag.

[Campion/Darkday]

"Oh your leaving?" I say. I don't want her to leave, she was fun to talk to. I stand up and look at her she is not the average person in district 4, something is different about her.

[[Ree]craft]

Elorette
"No," I say easily, "I'm not leaving, but I figured that there's no point in fishing right now." All my stuff is packed up now, and if I wanted I could just spring up and go. Instead I stay seated and occupy myself by pulling splinters of wood of the floor.

[Campion/Darkday]

"Oh cool." I say as I sit back down. I put my fishing pole up as well.

"So what is your life like?" I say. We haven't really talked about her yet.

[[Ree]craft]

Elorette
A muscle in my face tightens in my face, but years of practice in lying and acting pay off. I make it relax immediately. "They're not interesting... at all," I say, smiling. "I'm probably the most interesting person in my family, and I don't call myself interesting." I bend my knees and wrap my arms around them. I never think much of my family. In fact I try not to at all. They annoy me. Everyone in my family thinks I'm an idiot and whatever I do is wrong and must be corrected. I don't want to think about my family... ever. But this isn't something you tell a stranger.
