CHAPTER 1
My eyes were plastered on the television. Waiting for the reaping to commense. To scared to face the real thing right outside my door. My hot tea sat in my lap calming the chatter of my teeth. Then Effie's face appeared. This time with a orange do sat upon her head brightening up the still dull seam. Her voice penetrated the quietness of this very day as she spoke in a clear voice.
"Katniss Everdeen." As soon as she said it you could tell that her heart had stopped. In fact everyone's had including mine. But even worse than me was Peeta. I could spot him right in the crowd looking pale as a ghost in hope that what he heard was no true. I wished for the same. But sadly this is reality and nothing can go my way. My tea dropped to the floor and singed my foot. I didn't notice. I got up and walked out the door of what I would never see again. I stomped over to the reaping stage with a worried glare in my eye. No way would Snow let me stay alive after 2 games of living. There was no way. I locked eyes with Peeta and I regretted doing so as soon as it happened. Reflections of me shined in his blue eyes, and I knew no matter who got picked he would volunteer.
" Now the boys." Effie chocked out. "Joe Callibrie." Just then as soon as the name came out Peeta jolted forwards and yelled. "I volunteer as tribute!" Effie teared up. Peeta took the stage and grabbed my hand. My world had fallen apart. Just as soon as it was slowly being put back together.
Hey I know this Chapter is short but I just started! Sorry if it's really bad :)
