DISCLAIMER: I don't awn the Hunger Games nor the charcters in it. All work goes to Suzanne Collins. Im just writing what I think Peeta is feeling.
"Peeta you get out of bed this instant!" yelled my mother "Okay im coming" I called back. Its reaping day and we have to dress our best of this day. I got cleaned up and fresh Sunday clothes on when my mom came tromping up the stairs to smack me. Luckily I was up and almost ready. "Peeta! I thought I told you to get up"!yelled my mother." Im up and dressed!" I told her as she came into my room. "Oh" is all she said."Then I'd better make sure your brothers are up". "Oh, and Peeta can you go down a bake a few loaves of bread before we go to the reaping?" "Sure" I sighed. I know my brothers are older but howcome they get to sleep later and not bake in the morning I thought. I had been forty-five mins untill we all were ready to leave to go to the reaping. My brothers are all to old to be reaped but im sixteen and have two more years of this. I stand on one side of the rope where the boys are. On the other side is the girls. I look for Katniss has been my crush since I was five. I have never worked up the nerve to talk to her. I finally see her and my heart start beating faster and faster. I know Katniss is never going to love me. I kno she has a thing with Gale Hawthorne. Effie Trinkett walks onstage sporting a pink wig. All I hear is the clinking of her high heels. The square is dead silent. She walks over and puts her pale hand into the girl's reaping ball and pick someone's name. im silently thinking please don't be Katniss. She walks over to the microphone and reads Primrose Everdeen off the slip of paper. Primrose is Katniss's little sister. I cant help but try to think what Katniss makes of this. I watch a Prim walks to the stage with the peacekeepers. Katniss is now standing in the middle of the asile yelling "I volunteer as tribute!" my heart stopped for a second. Maybe I should volunteer to..no! that's a stupid idea! Then one of us has to die and I wan't to be with Katniss. I'm thinking all this when Effie reads my name on the boy's sheet of paper. I am escorted onstage by peace keepers. "come on guys,shake hands" says Effie .Katniss grabs my hand in a hand shake. When we shook hand all I can think is that she is touching me! We are being escorted into the old justice building by Effie.
