No Return
I wake up to the smell of cat and fresh meat. I start thinking about what Katniss must have caught. I sit up, and then, I remember what today is. Reaping day. I lie back down and hide under the blanket, thinking of my possible near death. Then Katniss comes into the room to tell me to get into my reaping dress. I say "No, why should I get dressed up for the capitol? They just want me to die." I started thinking of the arena, and started crying. Then Katniss tried comforting me, but my emotions took over. After a while, I was cried out, I just changed and ate my breakfast, one stale piece of bread.
We arrive in the Town Square, and Effie Trinket gets down to business right away. First, she walks over to the girl's ball of names, and walks back over to the microphone. She opens the tiny piece of paper, and says loudly "Primrose Everdeen." I almost fell to the floor. But instead, I walk up to the stage, looking like I have no emotion. I get to the stage and look for Katniss. She is standing there, with tears in her eyes, but not regretting anything when Effie asked for volunteers. Then she walked over to the boy's bowl, and walks back and says "Peeta Mellark." He starts walking toward the stage, but then we hear a high pitched voice yell "I volunteer!" then Rory Hawthorne walks on to the stage with a grin on his face, and sits happily next to me.
