My name is Diamond Fox. I am from District 2. The Reaping is today. Should I volunteer? Oh yeah I forgot to mention! The reaping is for The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is where the Capitol forces every district in Panem to send one boy and one girl to The Capitol, into an arena to fight to the death! It's cruel and stupid, though I think I should volunteer! I climb into the bath and get washed up. After I get dressed, I head out to the square with my mother and father. Then, Mary Trinket walks on stage. "Welcome welcome. The time has come to select one courageous young man and women for the honor to represent District 2 in the 74th annual Hunger Games, as usual ladies first." she says and walks to the bowl with the girl's names, she selects one and walks back to the podium. "Abigal Twik!" she says. I step out of my age group. "I VOLUNTEER AS A TRIBUTE!" I yell and run to the stage. Abigail mouths the word "Thank you" as she goes back to her group. "What's your name dear?" Mary asks. "Diamond Fox." I say. "Well let's give it up for our volunteer, Diamind Fox!" Mary exclaims and every claps. "And now for the boys!" Mary says and selects a boy name. "Matt Twill!" She says and Matt lounges forward to the stage. "No volunteers? Well, I now present you, the tributes from District 2, Matthew Twill and Diamond Fox!" Mary says and we are lead into the Justice Building so we can say good-byes. My mother, father and little 11 year old sister come in first. I hug them. "Your brave Diamond." my mother says but I can tell she's crying. "Diamondm your going to win. You can. I know you can!" My dad says and I hug him tightley. "I know. Thank you for helping me with my knife and bow skills daddy." I whisper and kiss his cheek. Then there's my little sister, Iris. I squat down so I can look her in the eyes. I can tell she has a concerned, terrified look in her eyes. I can see why. I have always been there for her. "Iris, don't forget I love you. No matter what happens. I love you." I say and hug her. "I love you too Diamond." she says and starts crying, the peacekeepers come to say times up. "I LOVE YOU GUYS!" I yell and then the door slams shut. My best friend, Daisy comes in. "Your brave Diamond. I fourteen year old girl has never volunteered every since the 68th Hunger Games, that's when she was killed in the bloodbath." Daisy says, great way to worry me. "You can hunt. Dont let them starve." I say and she nods. "You can throw knives, you can shoot arrows perfectly. You are going to win!" Daisy commands. And I nod. I hug her. "Good luck." She says. "Thank you." I say. Time goes by too fast. The peacekeepers come to tell Daisy that times up. "GOOD LUCK!" She yells as she leaves. I'm ready to fight.
