Hi,
This is my first fanfic, and I'm kind of young so don't kill me if it's horrible. Just use CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Thanks.

Julie POV
"Julie? Are you coming?"
"Ugh I'm almost ready Mom!"
"Alright, but hurry or you're going to be late."
"I know Mom! Just get off my back!"
I hate my mom. She's always worrying about me. I don't need help, Zach does. Zach is my fifteen year old brother, and he won the hunger games when he was twelve. Mom thinks he's fine but was never the same when he came back.
Carman POV
"Mom?" I whisper, "You awake?"
"Yeah sweetie, I'm up"
"I'm leaving for the reaping, wish me luck"
"Good luck honey."
My mom won the hunger games years ago. She won because she knew what it was like to be hungry. Here, in twelve, starving to death is not uncommon. It happens all the time. We have a fence around district twelve, and President Snow says it's to keep animals out. Yeah that's it, district twelve – where you can starve to death in safety. There was no food at the cornucopia Moms year, only containers, weapons, and very little water. She ran away from the cornucopia with only a knife, a backpack (with a sleeping bag in it), and a quarter gallon bottle of water (that was empty). But the thing is, all but one career died at the blood bath.
Julie POV
Effie Trinket bounces up to the stage smiling and nearly screams "HAPPY HUNGER GAMES?" into the microphone. I hate Effie, she's just too perky. Then again, Carman is perky too, just not as ecstatic as District twelve's escort. I also hate the capital accent. They always sound like they're asking a question.
"As you all know this year is the 100th hunger games, so watch the screen and you'll what fun we'll have this year?"
President Snow walks in to view of the camera, sits, and reads a card.
"On the 100th hunger games all the tributes will be girls."
Silence in the crowd, then, the boys start screaming bloody murder they're so happy.
"But, two boys will be reaped and will get to volunteer a girl."
Wow that worked out well, Almost all boys here in twelve hate me so I may as well commit suicide right here.
Carman POV
Oh no. The guys hate me and Julie. They have good reason to though because we're kind of mean and rude and mean and inconsiderate and mean. Well I'm going into the arena with Julie may as well say it.
So how do you like it? If you don't CONSTRUCTIVE criticism please and thank you.
Max
