the 70th hunger games
I wake up and look at my clock. It's late,later than i usually have to get up. i am puzzled for a few moments on why my alarm didnt go off then i remember, its reaping day. Ah reaping day the day i have to face my biggest fears. My biggest fear is to be reaped for the hunger games. I know i would die thats why im so deathly afraid of this day. I live in district 8, so getting reaped is like a death sentence. My dad calls to me from the other room to tell me to come and eat some breakfast. I quick jump out of bed and run into the kitchen. My mom died when i was very younge from a deadly fever. It is a rarity for my dad to be home long enough to eat breakfast with me, because he usually has to go work. " Come on Rosie your pancakes are getting cold!" he calls to me. Because it is reaping day we get to enjoy a good breakfast and sleep in. i sit down to eat the fluffy pancakes."yumm these are really good! is it a new recipe?" i ask he tells me that is. We dont talk much. When my mom died i was 7, after that we never were all that it wasnt very necaassary for us to because he was always gone working."you'd better go get ready, its all most time." butterflys rush through my stomach, almost time."i can do this" i tell myself. i go into my room to find and outfit to wear. I was never a girly girl so i just choose a plain,faded,too big purple dress. i take my hair down from its normal pony tail and let it hang down. I look in my mirror to see a tall girl with long light brown hair and bright blue eyes in big purple dress. i keep telling myself that i can do this but i just cant believe it. I walk out to the reaping and spot my only friend Bea. She waves me over and we stand next to each other "you'll be fine i know your scared but you arent gonna get picked" she tells me."thanks i still dont know if ill be alright" i reply. In the past i have been known to have thrown up before they draw a name. But this year itll be fine i wont get picked,ill go home and a nice dinner. " Welcome every one to the 71st Hunger Games!" out district escort calls out. Her name is Glisten she has bright green hair and seems very excited to be here, unlike any of us. " ok lets do the girls first" she announces. Im so scared now i feel like i will throw up if she waits any longer to call the name. Then she calls out the name"Rosie Kirk" I cant breath it's my name. i walk up to the stage. she asks me how i feel i dont have a chance to answer becase i faint off the stage. I wake up in a strange room with cream satin walls. i scan the room and see my dad sitting in a chair. im confused i dont know why im here and cant rembered what happened to me before i blacked out. "dad, where am i and why am i here?" i ask "your were reaped and you are in the capitol builiding" he replies. i stare at hime in disbelife, is this a dream? I then pass out again.
