The Reaping
"The female tribute from district 9 for the 63rd Hunger Games is Katy Colfer!" Says Sapphire Greenwood,the escort for district 9. I look back at my dad. He's gritting his teeth like he's trying not to cry. It isn't working. I turn forward,towards the stage. I walk up and to it and climbed the steps. "And what age are you,dear?" Says Sapphire in her high pitched Capitol accent. I didn't notice it before,but her big,blue dress was covered in actual sapphires. Typical. "I'm twelve." I whispered. "Well, congratulations!" She said. "And now for the boys! Is Jason Addis here? Jason Addis?" You have got to be kidding me. Jason Addis is the most self centred person I have ever met. He thinks he's God's gift to the world! He's handsome, the Capitol will love him. "Go on,shake hands!" Reluctantly I reached out and shook his hand. "Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favour!"
