The capitol brought back "the Hunger Games" after the distericts rebelled again, making things much harder for all of us, knowing the games were going to harder than they ever where before...
We where all gathered in the small town square. My boyfriend Gabe was beside. My mom sits at home, hoping her children wont be pick for tributes.
Effie come out on stage and starts to speak...
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, its time to select our 101st annual Hunger Game Tributes"
I start to think if I was picked to be a Tribute if I could make it out alive or not. I probably could make it, after all I hunt with Gabe for food because my dad can't get a job and mom- they don't let women work in district 12, after district 12 became a district again, the Capitol thought it would make the district a better place for the children if women didn't work. Then I was interrupted by the nudge of Gabe. If they catch you not listening to Effie they have the right to kill you.
"Grace, she's going to start announcing the names of the Tributes" whispered Gabe.
"As always ladies first," she said as she walked over to the glass container, with names in it.
She shuffled around in the container, then she picked one.
"Give a big round of applause for..Grace Pinecone every one!" Effie said with joy.
Not a sound, you could hear the fly's buzzing by. That's how quite it was. Then i realized that was ME! Everyone cleared a path for me so i could get out of the crowd of people. As I was walking up there-to the podium where Effie would be waiting for me i realized usually i go home feeling bad for the Tributes, but now it's me every one is feeling bad for-as well as a side of relief for them because there not this years Tributes. I got to see Effie up close for once, no one gets to see her up close not even the people who do her makeup!
" It's now time for our male Tribute.."
As she walk's over to another container. I am hoping it's not Gabe at least he can feed my family when im gone..but the expression on his face-made him look like he was crying.
" The 101st anuuall Hunger Game tribute is...".
