~I would like to thank meganelizabethshor101 for posting my first story!~
Hey! Yeah I'm talking to you. Why are you in my part of heaven? You wanted to know about me? Fine, but you cant tell anyone. Well I guess you want me to tell you my name. I'm Glimmer Quin. There, are you happy now? What? You want me to tell you about my life? Fine. I'm 17, and ive always wanted to be in the hunger games. Hold on, before you go on and on about how the hunger games is just a place to murderer people listen to my story. Ive been trained to kill before I could walk. Yeah I know its wired but I like it. I can kill someone in almost any way you could think of, well not one way. I cant shoot a bow. Ok back to the hunger games. Do you want to know why I want to be in the hunger games? Well I didn't at first untill Malcolm was in them. Malcolm was my oldest brother. He was 18 when his name was called in the reapings. I was only 5 and all I remember of him was him kissing my forehead one day and saying "bye glimmer! I'm off to the hunger games! Ill be back as soon as I can!"and I never saw him again. I take that back. I did see him again, I saw him die on tv. He bumped into a tracker jacker nest and he was swarmed. I always thought that if I could win the hunger games it would be as though I would be avenging his death. So the day I was called it was as though my dreams where coming true.
≈FLASHBACK≈
"Mom!" I yelled. "Yes Glimmer?" "I cant find my boots!" "You put them on the porch!" "Oh" Even on the best days I never had a good memory but with it being the day for the reaping my nerves where about to go on overdrive. I only had one more year before I wouldn't be able to be in the reaping. I quickly ran to the porch to grab my boots. Once I had them on I yelled over my shoulder "mom! I'm going to the reaping!" "See you there!" My mom yelled back. I got up and began to run to the stage where the capitol would host the reaping. I hoped I would be picked this year. I had gotten tessrae every time I could. My name was in 57 times. When I finaly got to the reaping I was the first one in the Q line. There's only one other family with a last name starting with a Q. There the Quintin's. I placed my hand on the table and quickly had my blood taken. "Glimmer Quin" the machine blurted out. "Yup that's me" I thought happily. I went over to the 17 year old girls section and stood next to friend Sarah. "Hey Tarah!" I yelled to her. "I told you to stop calling me that!" She replied. "Sorry I'm just so excited!" I said. She looked at me almost jumping up and down and said. "I can see that!" Then someone from the capital started playing a video and we stopped. The video was mostly about life before the capitol. Once it was done the district one escort Nimitz Oppa stepped up on the stage and picked a slip from the guys bowl. "Marvel Yemeni!" she called out. She waited untill Marvel was on the stage before she went to the girls bowl. "Glimmer Quin!" She called. "What?!" I thought. "I got picked?!" "Come on dear!" Nimitz called. Then I rushed up on the stage and took my place beside Marvel. "May I present the tributes from district one!" Nimitz yelled. The whole district clapped and cheered us on. "Finally!" I thought. "I got in!"
