I jerk awake, and almost fall off my bed. I look around and sigh with relief. I had dah a dream i was in the games. I get out of my bed and walk to my living room. My brother sits there, already in his reaping outfit. "Hey Baron," I say. "Hey Fannia," he says. After an awkward silence, I go and find my reaping outfit. It's a light pink dress, with a bow in the back. I put my hair in a simple ponytail. I walk out and sit next to my brother. My mother walks out and tells us to get ready to go to the reaping. We get up and walk outside, and start walking. I walk to the capitol guards, and they prick my finger to take some blood. After that, I go to the ropes for the 15 year olds. I wait and then the mayor introduces our District 6 escort, Valeria Redpath. She babbles on about something, but I don't know because I'm not listening. "And now, we will pick our District 6 female tribute!" Valeria says. I watch her hand move around in the bowl, and she finally selects a name. She opens the paper, and reads the name. "Fannia Honeyman!" she says into the microphone. My heart stopped. I start taking small steps up, and finally get to the stage. She sits me down in a chair. "And now, our male tribute!" She puts her hand in the vowl and picks a name. "Otto Cronin!" she says. Oh no... I think. I've had a major crush on him since kinergarten. He makes his way onto the stage and we shake hands, and then we're ushed into the justice building.
