Jet, District 1:

I throw another spear and a dummy and a buzzing noise went off.

"Nice one Jet!" My girlfriend Topaz coos

"Thanks sweetie!" I say sweetly "Can you get me another spear?"

Topaz nods and runs off. She may be an airhead but I love her.

As soon as Topaz returns, a loud voice booms over the training center.

"ATTENTION TRAINEES. The training center is now closed. All citizens MUST report to the town square."

I sigh and make my way over to Topaz

"Come on T,"I swing my arm around her "Let's get to the town square."

We leave the training center and walk down towards the town square. I start to think. Should I volunteer? I mean, I'm 18, it's my last year, and I have a good life. I have Topaz, my family, my job at the jewelry making shop. But on the other hand, this is what I've been training for ever since I was 8. And this is my last chance.

"T, do you think I should volunteer?" I ask

Topaz giggles

"Of course Jet! You've trained for a long time, and I know you'll come back to me! You will win! I just know it!"

"Okay babe. Let's go check in now." I reply

Topaz laughs and hugs me

"Ow!" She cries as the peacekeeper pricks her finger.

"It's okay, It's okay." I say trying to calm her down

Once I'm checked in too, Topaz and I kiss then I make my way over to the 18 year old boys section and Topaz heads towards the girls. I'm there for a while waiting. Thinking. Plotting. I'm so gonna win these games!

Before I know it our escort comes. I don't catch his name but he's really creepy. He has bright orange skin with tattoos of flames going up his arms. His black hair is all spiked up and the tips are dyed bright red and yellow.

He shows us the same old video about Panem and why we have the Hunger Games, and all that crap we see every year.

"Okay!" The man says in his peppy capitol voice "Now for our tributes!"

The crowd falls silent as he walks over to two large glass bowls.

"Boys first!"

The man reaches his flaming hand into the bowl and picks around for a name

"Jayson Wi-"He begins

"I volunteer!" I yell

Oh yeah.

I'm so gonna win these games.

Lacey Zare, District 1:

Jet, a boy I recognize from the training center walks onto the stage. He's good, but I've watched him train, he has horrible aim. And In these games, you've got to know how to use every weapon. He'll be the first of the careers dead. I can feel it.

"Now for the ladies!" Travis, our escort says.

He strides over to the second glass bowl and reaches his tattooed hand in.

Come on, come on! Just pick one! I want to scream at him.

"Aha!" Travis exclaims "Topaz Swe-"

"I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" I yell as loud as I can.

I proudly stride up to stage, confident in myself.

"And what's your name sweetie?" He asks in his chirpy capitol voice

"Zare. Lacey Zare. And I'm gonna bring home the gold to District 1!"

You like? Haha, Sorry if it's short. There'll be more action in the games and at the capitol. And I'm also super busy with school, homework, drama, etc.
