Chapter 1- District 4 day before reaping
Kari swung her wooden staff at the fish, slamming it into some reeds by accident. "No!" she cried, "I missed it again!"
"You know, it's probably a different fish, right?" I asked my best friend, trying to hide my amusement.
"It's not funny!" she protested, stabbing angrily at the gentle waves.
I glanced at her sarcastically. Sighing, she laughed, "Okay, it's a little funny."
I smiled at her and we burst into fits of giggles.
"So, the reaping tomorrow, what are you wearing?" I asked.
Kari laughed. "Since when have you cared about clothes?" she asked, still laughing.
I sighed, "I don't know. I just felt that last year we looked so scruffy in our stained shirts and ripped skirts."
My best friend nodded and looked down at her legs beneath the shallow sea. She wiggled her tanned toes under the sand, scattering a little crab.
"You do agree don't you?" I asked softly.
She sighed, "I don't know. I mean, this isn't because of Alyssa is it?" she asked.
I could feel my skin burning in the strong sun that haunted district 4 in summer. My blue singlet didn't cover my shoulders and I could see them beginning to turn pink. I tried to cover my shoulders with my hands but I knew really that it wouldn't work. "No." I said frowning.
"So, this isn't because of Alyssa?" Kari smiled and leaned closer.
"No." I said slowly, "It is."
Kari smirked. "I knew it!" she said triumphantly, "You can't let her look down on you all the time."
"But she's taller than me!" I joked giving her a gentle push.
Kari laughed and shoved me back. I leaned over on purpose and slipped under the surface.
"Lilli!" I heard her scream before I swam behind her. The water was clear but if you swam along the bottom you were invisible to those on the surface. Fish scattered through the reeds in front of me. I came up when I was hidden behind reeds for air. Kari was parting the reeds looking for me.
"Lilli! This isn't funny! Where are you?" she cried desperately. Grinning, I dove underwater and grabbed her legs. I heard her scream faintly before her startled face appeared beside me. I stuck my tongue out at her and stood up, soon after Kari followed. She put her hands on her hips and glared at me.
"What was that for?" she demanded.
"Hey! You pushed me!" I said, raising my hands in protest.
Kari continued to glare at me then she lifted her hands to push me again. I grinned and dodged to the side. Kari fell forward and struggled to keep her head above the water. She flung her arms behind her and splashed salt water into my face. I tried to close my mouth but salt water flooded down my throat. I coughed it up while Kari laughed hysterically at me.
When I'd recovered I glanced at her. "What time is it do you think?" I asked.
Kari looked at the sky thoughtfully. The sun had sunk since we had come to the beach and it was beginning to grow dark. "I don't know..." Kari said, "But we should probably head back."
We trudged out of the sea, the heavy anticipation of tomorrow hung on our shoulders.
"See you tomorrow." I said wearily when we went opposite ways. Kari waved over her shoulder then walked through the village to her house.
I smiled and stepped through the open door to my families house. My younger sister sat at the table doing her homework for school. She glanced up at me as I walked in then went back to her homework.
I walked out of the kitchen and into my room. I shut the door and changed out of my wet things. I collapsed on my creaky wooden bed. My dad had made it for me when I was younger. The headboard was made of old driftwood he'd found on the beach. The bed was really too small for me but I loved it.
I heard my big brother slam the door to his room. Lori came into our room. She sat on her bed and looked at me. She started humming a little tune under her breath. She stopped abruptly when I stood up to leave the room.
"Lillith!" she called, I turned. "I'm nervous for the reaping tomorrow." she said.
"Lori." I sighed, "You're 8, you're not even in the reaping ball."
"You are. What if you get reaped?"
"I've been in the reaping for two years and I've never been reaped. Why would this year be any different?"I asked confidently as I sauntered out of the room.
OK. So please PM me with your tribute! This is so you can maybe hide their reaction and strengths I mean you know Lillith's weaknesses and stuff but she's going to die anyway so that doesn't matter. I'll also you need to tell me what their reaction is at the reaping. Also if you tell me through PM I can ask you certain questions which will sometimes depend if your tribute lives or dies. :D I mean you can put it in a review but whichever you prefer! :D
