I woke up with a jump. A nightmare. Of course, today's reaping day. I'm Aurora Mellark. So, pretty much we just hope we DON'T get reaped. My parents won but they said it was a miracle so, yeah, may the odds be in my favor.

As I walked towards the fourteen year old girls and I saw my friend Alli

"Let's hope we don't get reaped this year, "Alli said shyly. So, there's Effie Trinket young as ever wonder how they make her so young. I thought.

"Girls first …. Aurora Mellark" she said. I quietly walked up on stage as my friend's and family's faces screamed in fear. My thoughts start wondering about the games. Am I going to die or live?"Now boys … George Walter" Effie said. Now I was shocked because he had only 3 slips in there compared to my 24 and I also, had a crush on him ever since I was 7.
