I didn't think I needed a knife or arrow to kill me because just the sound of my name made my heart stop beating. I couldn't move a muscle or hear anything. My stomach was twisting and I could feel a falling sensation, the only thing that bounced me in to reality was the ground crashing against my face.
When I could see properly, everyone in my district was staring. Great. I got up and held my head high as I walked to the stage and climbed the stairs. I was not going to cry or try to run, I was going to scrape up any dignity that I still had and make it out that I didn't care about my name being read. As she was calling out my apponants name I was going through excuses ,in my head, of why I fell. I was feeling sick. I was tired. I got claustrophobic. I had a head ache. Yes. That seems realistic and would not make me look weak. But deep down I knew why I fell. I was scared. Scared of dying, of dying a painful death and knowing all the people I know will be watching, unable to turn their heads.
I suddenly remembered that I 'had a headache' so I put my hand to my forehead and looked down. When I looked up I face I recognised was walking up the stairs to the stage. He had short dark brown hair and was a bit taller than me. Mitchel Class. He is in one of my classes, everyone called him 'Mitch'. He was the troublemaker of the school, always seems to be in detention. But he was strong and had been in many fights before with people twice his size and won. He had never said one word to me, why would he? I'm Allie Granger. Bookword and had the same popularity scale as a brick. He had more chance of winning than me, and everyone knew it.
As we shook hands and turned to walk through the doors I turned my head one last time to look at the faces of the people I love and the people I will leave.
I thought i may have a chance but there is no way I can win. I guess I should just except that my life is going to end soon and I will just be a memory in the minds of the people I used to love and one more name on the list of the dead.
