Katniss's POV:
When Prim and I arrived at district 12's town square the first thing we saw was our ridiculously odd escort Effie Trinket. But I guess all of the people who live in the capitol look just as weird.
Prim was shaking, it was the first year that her name was in the reaping bowl, but she can't get reaped, I'm sure. Its only her first year and her name is only entered once, the odds are in her favor. After comforting her, I walk to my line, where all of the other 16 year old girls are waiting for the reaping to be over. Effie begins to talk, the usual speech, and I tune her out until I hear her read the name of the poor soul going into the Hunger games.
"PRIMROSE EVERDEEN." she crows into the mike.
WHAT? It takes a few seconds for me to understand what was happening. My lovable, perfect angel of a sister was going into the Hunger Games. I can't let her, I'd rather die
Before I could even think, my lips were already forming the words that would sentence me to death, "I Volunteer!" I'm afraid but I would to anything for my little duck.
Effie's POV:
Finally the first volunteer of district 12! Maybe next year I'll get promoted to a better district. This is just to exciting and I say so to the lucky girl who volunteered. But now I get to read the name of the boy tribute.
Daintily reaching into the glass bowl I pull out a slip of paper and read the name, "PEETA MELLARK!"
The girl tribute, Katniss, looked shocked. OHH, maybe this will add some drama to the games, all thanks to ME!
The two lucky tributes shook hands and I recited my favorite line,
"HAPPY HUNGER GAMES AND MAY THD ODDS BE EVER IN YOU'RE FAVOR!" I walked with Katniss and Peeta into the train, after they bid their families goodbye, and told them about all of the luxuries they would get to experience in the capitol and about how much fun they would have. Katniss scowled at me.
MANNERS!
Cato's POV: ( back at the train from district 2)
When Cloven or Clover or whatever her name is came into the train we didn't become the best of friends so we sat down and just started watching the recaps. We clicked on the television and started to see district one. The guy looked fast and smart so he'll be good in our alliance, but the girl, she just looked like a **! Completely worthless!
Now my district, 2, came up and I learned that her name was Clove. She looked though but she's just a scared little thing. Oh poor thing….. note the sarcasm.
District 3 was nothing special. District 4 was okay I guess, the boy seems strong but he won't last long. District's 5's girl looked very sly and smart, gotta keep an eye on her. District 6 was just two little kids. That's kinda sad. Why does the capitol have to do this? Couldn't they just leave us alone?!
District 7 girl looked like district 5 girl so maybe they would be a little competition. Well, probably not but they do seem different from the usual weaklings. District 8, 9 and 10 weren't anything important either, and I sort of zoned out until 11 came on.
The boy 11 looked really strong and smart. And HUGE! He's probably my biggest competition, other than the careers.
Than the girl was reaped and I felt my heart break. She looks so similar to my little sister. Why do they have to be thrust into this horrific games? Their just sick! Lets be honest, she has no chance.
When I saw the girl of district 12, though, my heart stopped. I saw the most beautiful girl in whole Panem! She is going to be mine, and no one is going to stop that.
Clove's POV:
Is Cato really checking that scum from 12 out? Well his problem. He thinks he is so good well he isn't. What an **… Hopefully the games are over before I really have to deal with him. Of course if I win, which I will!
Marvel's POV: ( back at the train from district 1)
I didn't think anyone could be worse than my district partner, Glimmer. What kind of name is that? I spaced out after a while of the reapings, and then I saw her, the district 12 girl, and the most stunning girl of whole Panem. Now, not only am I going to the hunger games but also to the games for that girls heart. I know I already had one other person that I'm competing against, that guy from her district. You can just see in his eye that he was in love with her. But she's gonna be with me!
Peeta's POV:
Oh joy I'm being sent into the hunger games with the girl I love...Sarcasm. I can't kill her, so I can't win. I don't know how but I am going to protect her! Now Katniss and I are all alone in this room and feeling awkward, I started a conversation.
We chatted a little until the Hunger games came up. I told her that I wanted her to win. She wanted to say something back to me, but was interrupted by Effie telling us to watch the reapings for the other districts. Really? Now?
Well, we did watch the reapings and when we we're done looking the monsterous boy from two and the bird like child from eleven were implanted into my mind.
Katniss's POV:
Peeta and I were talking until the Hunger Games came up. He told me that he wanted me to win. I was about to launch into a big inspiring speech about about how he should believe in himself, but I didn't know what to say so I was glad that Effie came in and told us that we had to watch the reapings.
When they had finished, I had a couple people stuck in my head. The girl from one, Glitter or something, was obviously a bimbo but the boy = one was a bit cute and I was a little attracted to him. There was a weird girl from 2 and a really hot guy. I could never admit it, but was attracted to him too.
The girl from 5 looked very sly and smart and the little girl from 11 reminded me of Prim, so I knew I couldn't kill her!
After I was left alone, it was a little quite until we arrived at the capitol. It was pretty but so fake! Immediately, I was pushed into the room where my prep team was waiting. Wish me luck
