The day I've been waiting for is finally here, The Hunger Games are starting. I yawn as I'm rising out of the bed. It takes a bit of effort, my muscles are stiff, but I somehow accomplish it. I really hope that I'm not picked; I know that there are going to be a lot of volunteers. I'll volunteer and I'll go to the The Hunger games and represent District 4, and hopefully follow in my mothers footsteps and win. My mother has won the first Hunger Games, and now 18 years later, at age 17, I might win. I stand up and shiver, the floor is too cold, sometimes I wonder what's it's like to live in poverty ,which I've heard some districts, such as 11 or 12, have so much that they'll probably never win. I take one look at the clock. 10:00! I'm close to missing the reaping. I take off out the door. I didn't even change out of my nightwear.
