"Hey useless" Said a voice from behind me.

I was six years old at the time. I was living in an orphanage in district 11. Known as Douglas's shelter. There were a dozen of us kids living in that place, each with their own story and regrets.

Although we all agreed on one thing, we were the dregs of the city, our value was nil and for some reason we were kept alive.

I clenched my fists and turned away, I would not allow anyone to call me worthless.

I met the brown eyes of a light skinned boy, he was looking at me with some irritation, but I certainly wouldn't win in a fight, not when my body weighed twice as much as he did.

"It's a pity you have such a huge body and a small brain, the line was already formed when you arrived" Said the boy bringing me back to reality.

"Who cared that they were lined up?" I thought, my body weighed twice as much, so I needed twice as much food and so I needed to eat quickly.
