All Characters belong to Suzanne Collins, only the idea is mine :D (and yes, i too hate those damn disclaimers)
High Maintance
Glimmer Sevan.
A drop dead gorgeous 18 year old District One Girl.
She gets everything she wants with a snap of her - perfectly manicured, of course - fingers.
Clove Leigton.
A jawdroppingly beautiful - but vicious and disturbingly deadly - 18 year old Girl from District Two.
She works her ass off for everything, and ends up getting whats she wants. Always.
How is it possible that two Girls, so very different, can be friends since childhood?
Simple.
Their both extremely high maintanance - and only the best friends will do - so they search their 'own' kind.
(A/N Katniss and Primrose Everdeen and Peeta Mellark were never Reaped. A kid named Dan and Mischa were. 15 year olds, from the Seam.)
This is gonna be good.*evil Voldermort face* *evil President snow hand rub*

Reaping Day
"Glimmer. Glimmer. GLIMMER GET YOUR ASS OUTTA BED!"
I Scream and get up, and my brother Max is standing beside me, laughing his ass off.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
"You have two hours to get ready for the Reaping. And i know how long you shower - hurry up, Glim."
"Okay, thank you."
Me and my brother get along fine - if he doesnt wake me up by screaming at me.
I look at the clock, 10.30.
Exactly two and a half hours to get there.
Then only an hour later, my bff Clove's Reaping will start.
And although it is unusual for non Victors to be friends with people from other Districts, Clove and i get along just fine.
I turn on the ginormeous shower.
For the next half hour i will be showering.
My reaping dress is on a hanger in my room, the shoes under it, my hair will be loose.
I have had everything planned for weeks, this is a special Reaping for me.
Its my last ever Reaping, and if im not picked this year, ill Volunteer.
Clove has the same plan, and although i wish she didnt, i guess we'll have to compete.
Only the best will do for girls like us - winning the 74th annual Hunger Games is the best.
Clove has her knives, i have my bow and arrow and spear work.
This year is gonna be easy - a little birdy even told me that they may let 4 tributes win this year.
"GLIMMER YOU HAVE ONE HOUR!"Max yells.
"CALM DOWN MAX IM GETTING DRESSED!"
"GOOD! I HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST!"
"THANKS!"
Our house is ginormeous, but just a tad smaller than a Victor's Village house.
4 floors, 17 rooms, 9 bathrooms, and the biggest staircase ive seen other than the city hall's.
Max is obviously downstairs, in the kitchen, and im on the 3rd floor in my room.
When we'd just moved in here, i was 5, we needed to get used to the shouting, and we'd have troatache for days.
Now we were used to it, we didnt even feel it anymore.
I put on the dress.
Its one shoulder, frilly, sparkly, and a bright green.
The shoes are black heels.
The green is a few tones lighter then my bright emerald eyes, and i actually kinda like this one.
MY hair is blowdried over my schoulders,my make up done.
I grab my token - a ring with a diamond on there, but if you turn it, it has a poisenous spike. i borrowed it from Clove - before i bolt down the stare.
"So whats for breakfast big Brother?"
"Pancakes. My pancakes."
"YES!" If it wasnt already clear, i like Max's pancakes.
We stand in the square, only half an hour later.
I hug Max one last time, before getting into the last square.
Everybody knows im volunteering this year - no one would dare take this moment from me- so i slip right into the box, right infront of the stage.
"Hello District One!"Our escort, a woman names Gladis Mruyls -or something else i cant pronounce- waves and smiles.
I like her, she seems nice and Capitol-esque.
She is met with deafening cheers and applause.
"Its nice to be back! Lets get right to it! Today we pick Two More Lucky Tributes for the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games!"
More cheering.
"Ladies first!"
I stand there, wobbeling my foot.
This is it. My last Reaping ever.
"Glimmer Sevan."
"Yes!"
I run up to the stage, the cheers behind me.
"Hello you lovely Girl."
"Hello Miss Mruyls."
"How are you Glimmer?"
"I am absolutley fine. Im very excited!"
"Good! Now, the boy Tribute! Do you want to read it, Glimmer?"
That is barely asked - its an honor.
"GLIMMER!"I hear all the boys scream.
"Yes, of course!"
More screams of my name.
I let my hand wander around the ball, all the way to the bottom, and grab a lip.
"GLIMMER!" more guys yell.
I smile and wave at them, using my waving hand to flip my hand.
When you have the beauty - you need ot use it.
"Ravin Mockingbird!"
He cheers and begins to run to me.
"WAIT I VOLUNTEER!"I hear a painfully familiar voice say.
I recognize the voice as Marvels - my ex boyfriend.
He gets to the stage, and all but pushes Ravin off, whos yelling abuse at him.
Ravin walks by me, and i crouch in front of him.
I stroke his cheek for a minute, then even hug him.
Now the rest of the boys are going nuts.
God, i love being me.
So? Is it good? Is it less good? Leave a review and let me know ;) Also, please vote on the poll on my profile! :D And the next chapter will be out on either monday or tuesday :)
