Sorry if I get a few things in this wrong, I haven't read the Hunger Games in forever! And I've only read book one and two, I never finished the third one. And this story takes place before the third book, but everything is sane and Katniss and Peeta are safe. And please don't send mean comments, I'm not the best writer in the world.
"Derinti Maiden!" Shouted Effie cheerfully.
I froze when I heard my name called, a horrible feeling was starting to creep from my knees to my stomach. I looked around, no one was volunteering for me. Of course no one was volunteering for me, my siblings loved me, but they were too old to volunteer. I had friends, but who would risk their life for a simple friend from school? I tried not to cry as I made my way. Peacekeepers walked on both sides of me, ready to grab me if I tried to run. I felt like running, but it would be useless. Besides, there would be no place to go but the woods. And the peacekeepers would surely catch me before I finished climbing the fence.
I felt a single salty tear drip down my face and onto my neck, I was going to die in the Hunger Games, I was almost completely sure of it. I had to make a plan, quick.
Effie then stuck her pale hand inside of the boys names and pulled out one that was near the bottom.
"Kirnae Pronin!" She shouted, Kirnae, a boy I knew came up. He had a uneasy look on his face, Kirnae had dirty blond hair that was always slicked up. I blushed. I had liked Kirnae ever since I saw him at school and I was proud that he considered me his friend, even though I didn't show it to any other student. I secretly hoped I wouldn't have to fight Kirnae.
I then remembered the fact that I would probably die in the games before I got to see him in them, better start planning that plan of yours.

"Ellis Laurelleaf" Boomed Star, his dark green hair had a new indigo streak in it.
Why me out of all the other girls, that I didn't know. I tried walking up as quickly as I could even though my legs were shaking so much it felt like they would spring right off of my body. "Why the hell is this happening to me…" I muttered under my breath. Star smiled at me as I walked up onto the stage. He called Nike Sarito. I groaned, Nike had to be one of the most annoying boys ever. I assumed he would die rot at the cornucopia, since Nike had no chance of surviving a bloody death game.
I decided that I wanted to just partner up with someone in the Games, so I wouldn't die early on with no glory. Nike had to be dragged up by the peacekeepers since he was shouting and cursing and screaming.
I braced myself for a exciting Games
