The ceremony of Twelve.

Today I went to the ceremony of the twelve, I was very exited. It was held in a Auditorium, it was very spacious. All of the elevens were arranged by their number, the one we got when we were born, my number was 19. My friend called Asher, was Four. Asher sat in a row ahead of me. The chief elder held this ceremony, she started speaking, everyone went silent. The chief elder called up number One to come up to the stage. It was a female, her name was Madeline. She was told that her Assignment was; Fish Hatchery Attendant. Everyone applauded, I smiled at her in congratulation, even though I was very happy i didn't get that Assignment. Then came up number Two, Three, Four then Five. And so on, then finally The Chief elder called up number Eighteen, I was so exited and also nervous. Eighteen finally sat down, and I was ready to get up on stage and get my Assignment, when the Chief called said,"Twenty." I was shocked, I didn't know what to do, I think the whole crowd realized, He skipped me! I just hope she would correct her mistake and call me up on stage. But now, she just kept on going. When the Ceremony was suppose to be finished, The Chief said; "I know, that you are all concerned and feel as if I made a mistake." The Chief told us she caused us anxiety, which was very true. She told me she was sorry, I accepted her apology, but I still didn't know where she was getting to. She said, "Jonas has not been Assigned." I nodded at her, "Jonas has been selected." With the emphasis on the last word. I didn't nod to that, I had no idea what she was talking about. I felt weird, since everyone's mind was thinking about me, and everything was about me for a while. I felt different from everyone else. She told me I was going to be their next receiver of memory! When the chief told the audience, there was a loud gasp noise in the room. I waa so happy, I felt as if I was on top of the earth! "JONAS, JONAS, JONAS!" the crowed shouted out, it was amazing.
