It was a dreaded day. It was the Reaping. Everything was silent, then everybody in District 12 comes marching out. With a quick prick of the finger Katniss and Primrose Everdeen are identified and put in line. Finally when everybody is in their place a fat lady named, Effie waddles up onto the stage for the announcement.

"Happy Hunger Games. And may the odds be never in your favor" she mumbled. "Ugh, I messed-up my line, oh well. Lets get started. Men go first of coarse".

She stumbles over to the large bowl and picks a card from the top.

She reads, "Peeta Malark"

Katniss mumbles. "Awesome! Now I don't have to take care of him myself!"

A boy walks up with a sad look on his face.

"Oh, don't worry you might win."she says "Not" she coughed not to suddly

Then she walks up to the girls bowl and picks one from the top.

"Primrose Everdeen", Effie says

Murmurs went around the crowd, and Prime started walking up to the stage but was stoped by a yell from the crowd.

"Wait, stop!"yelled Katniss

Everybody looked at her waiting to hear what she would say.

"I have to use the restroom"
