(district one logan huntzberger's pov)

I wake up to "Logan get your butt down here! It's time to get ready for the reapings!" gee thanks dad what a wonderful way to wake up. I don't mind the reapings just wouldn't volunteer for the glory. Maybe if someone I cared about was chosen I would but otherwise nah.

Then my older sister, Honor walks in. "Logan you better get up, dads about to blow his top. You know how much he wants you to be in the hunger games and when. I think that he secretly hates me for not getting drawn or volunteering. So come on get up I made pancakes." She says gently shaking me.

"Alright, alright I'll get up I need to pick out a reaping outfit anyhow." I reply groggily. She grins and leaves the room. I sigh and get up.

Ugg I don't understand why everyone gets so excited about the hunger games. We are getting thrown into an arena to fight to the death. What's fun about that?

I walk over to my dresser and open the drawer, I pull out jeans and a plaid shirt. I throw them on and walk to the bathroom. I look in the mirror and see my hairs flat and lifeless.

Bleh where's my hair gel?

I grab the gel and spike up my bangs. There now I can go downstairs.

I walk down the stairs to mom and dad arguing. I sigh and sit down. I lean over and whisper to Honor.

"What is it this time?"

"Dad made another joke about woman and mom got mad." She replies rolling her eyes. I sigh and roll my eyes.

Then the door slams open and Kian comes running in. "Hi guys are you excited for reaping day?" he asks. I can't help but grin. He's always just a bundle of energy. But I doubt he would last a minute in the games. I reassure myself. He's 13 his name is only in there twice. His name won't be picked.

I reply "yes I'm excited but I doubt you'll get to go in the hunger games this year. So don't get your hopes up."

He smiles and nods "I know I'm just excited for all the festivities."

He leans over and whispers in my ear "I don't really want to be in the hunger games I'd be afraid of dying."

I whisper back "don't worry I don't think you'll be picked plus someone would probably volunteer."

Then dad stops arguing with mom long enough to look over. He eyes me up and down then his eyes narrow. "You're not wearing that. Are you?" he says with a smirk.

"Yes this is what I am wearing to the reapings." I snap back.

"No I have an outfit for you already I'll be right back." He says in a way that means don't question me or else. He then hurries out of the room. Mom looks at me then follows him out. I look at Honor pleadingly and she just shakes her head.

"You know how tough dad is about these things don't bother arguing." She says in an apologetic way. Then dad walks back in carrying a white dress shirt and nice black dress pants.

"No! I am not wearing-"I manage to get out before Honor slaps her hand over my mouth. I start to glare but see that dad has that look on his face that says don't mess with me. I sulk and grab the clothes. I go into the bathroom and change.

Ugg this feels so uncomfortable. I hate dress clothes these pants are uncomfortable. Oh well guess I should just chill.

I wake up to the sound of Midnight, my black lab, barking. Normally I would have to hail myself out of bed but not today! Today's reaping day I can't wait I'm going to volunteer. I'll win the hunger games and make my dad proud. I'll finally prove mom wrong. She left us because she said I could never win.

Dad walks in, "wake up sweetie it's a big day so I picked out a special outfit for you. He holds up a navy blue skirt and a white blouse. I grin.

"Dad I love it! Today will be great I can't wait to be in the games!" I say.

He smiles "I should leave so you can get dressed." He says and leaves the room.

I put on the outfit and get my signature woven leather bracelet. Luka gave it to me. Oh luka I wonder how he'll react to the fact that I'm volunteering, probably just be mad I beat him to the punch. Wonder if he'll be over today I might need him to do my hair. He's really good at a side braid for some reason.

I am snapped out of my daydream my Midnight whimpering and pawing at me. Oh yeah I still need to feed him oops. I open up the door and walk downstairs. I grab Midnights food and put it into a bowl for him. I walk back upstairs and start to plan out my strategy.

Ok so I am going to team up with the careers and make them trust me. However I always need to be on my guard and I'll tell midnight to go on "watch duty" so I'll get a warning. I'll kill anyone I see who's not a career and who knows maybe I'll enjoy it. And when I make it to the final two I'll kill the career in their sleep.

Satisfied with myself I start to think more about my outfit. I need to appear strong and powerful to intimidate my opponents but can't push away sponsors. I bet they like the strong and powerful type more likely to win. I grab my favorite pearl earrings and put them in.

Then I grab a navy blue headband for after I do my braid. Right as I'm doing that I hear Midnight's nervous barking. Then I hear "hey Midnight chill it's me Luka geez."

I laugh inside as he comes running up the stairs with Midnight nipping at his heels. I sigh "Midnight stand down." I say acting bored with it. Midnight stops chasing him and retreats to my side but is still growling quietly. "Alright blondie let's get this show on the road. Want me to do a side braid?" he asks. "Alright I want to look good when I volunteer so that the sponsors remember me." I say with a slight grin.

"Good idea I'm holding off till next year so I can prepare more. Then we can live in victor's village together." He says and begins to braid my hair.

By the time he's done we have to leave for the reaping in like 5 minutes. I throw a navy blue headband in my hair and we take off. I whistle for Midnight and he follows. I'm excited this year we are allowed to bring our dogs so Midnight can fight with me while I prove I'm better than the other 23 tributes.

(from logan's point of view.)

I walk into the square for the reapings with my dress pants stiff around my legs. Gawd I hate these things they're so stupid. Why did dad want me to wear them? Oh well at least I can make all the guys feel ugly and stupid in comparison.

I'm snapped out of my daydream by sound of whoever is in charge of the drawing saying "alright let's start with gentleman this time."

Then she reaches her hand into the reaping bowl and pulls out a name. "Kian huntzberger." What no I'll do it, I'll volunteer I have a better chance I know how to win. "I volunteer as tribute." I say the second he's up there. I say it calmly and coolly like this was my plan all along. The only people that are surprised are Honor and Kian. My parents are standing there looking proud and I can tell their pleased.

"Well it looks like district one has another volunteer no surprise there." She jokes.

"So what's your name young man?" she asks "my name is Logan Huntzberger." I reply in my usual cocky manner.

(From Gemma's pov)

"And now for the ladies." She says. Well whoever gets picked too bad for them. I'm going to volunteer and prove that I am better than everyone. Because I am amazing.

I don't even bother listening to the name that she calls, I just yell out calmly "I volunteer as tribute." She nods and I walk up to the stage and shove the other girl towards the steps. "Well, well what's your name young lady?" she asks. "Me? Oh I'm Gemma Lockehart and the dog you see in the audience? His name is Midnight and he is going to come to the Hunger games with me." I say leaning back grinning. "Well let's have a round of applause for this year's district one tributes!" she says. Almost immediately there is a huge round of applause and some whistles.

Oh look I already have adoring fans. Winning this thing will be a piece of cake.

(District two Ira Night)

I'm woken up by Chloe shaking me and Beau barking. "Ugg Beau quiet! Chloe what is it? It's so early!" I say groggily. "Come on its reaping day we aren't allowed to sleep in. Plus all the best booths will be out early. We can steal some good breakfast. The meat booth might be unattended for a little while and we can use Beau as a distraction!" she says finally letting go of me.

"Fine! Fine! I'll get up but we need to get dressed if we're going to pull this off. If we're not dressed up all nice they might suspect something." I say climbing out of bed. I walk over to my dresser and take out a black blouse, a pair of grey skinny jeans and my thin white tie.

I just change in front of Chloe I mean after all these years in the orphanage we are pretty much like sisters. I would do anything for her and will kill anyone who threatens her.

Once I have my outfit on I grab my favorite necklace, I wear it all the time, it's a small silver anchor on some leather cord. Chloe found the anchor on the docks and put it on the cord for a present for me. I tuck it under my tie so unless anyone looks really closely they won't see it. I run a brush through my hair before I look at Chloe's outfit.

She is wearing a pretty, bright yellow dress. Wow I whistle. "Nice choice Chloe no one will suspect you wearing this outfit." I say grinning.

"I know plus I like the way it looks. It floats like a bubble around me. Its comfy." She says laughing.

I sigh and say "come let's head out so we can get something good. I'm in the mood for beef how about you?"

She nods and we are about to head out when the door opens our caretaker walks in. "Girls today because it is the reapings you have to stay in. Come down for breakfast and then we will leave for the reapings." He says and turns around gently closing the door behind him.

I sigh and roll my eyes "come on Chloe lets go get something to eat. Maybe we will get more salt soup."

"Maybe I guess it's better than nothing." She shrugs. I sigh and follow her out of the room. She wouldn't last one minute in the hunger games. Poor thing.

(from zeke pokeluiz's pov)

I wake up to the sound of my brother shouting. Aahh the bucket of ice water and worms must have just landed on him. This is one of the best pranks I've ever pulled if I do say so myself. Then Rick comes running into the room sopping wet and covered with worms. "Zeke this time you went too far! This is not funny! It's disgusting and on reaping day too! It's going to take me an hour to get this stuff out of my hair!" I lean back grinning and just tune out his ranting.

Then to add insult to injury in the middle of him talking I get up and walk over to my dresser to pick out an outfit. He sighs and walks out the door. 5…4…3…2…1.

Swoop! He's caught in a net snare. "Zeke!" he yells at the time of his lungs. I can't help it. I start cracking up. This is truly one of my best pranks. And the best part comes when I don't let him down for ten minutes.

"Zeke get me down from here right now!" he says fuming.

I grin "nah I'll let you down after I get dressed. I just don't feel like releasing you quite yet." I finish and pull open the drawer. He starts yelling but I'm not even listening.

I pick out my only pair of nice jeans and a striped shirt. I take my own sweet time putting them on and even take the time to comb my flame red hair. Meanwhile Rick is shouting his head off at me. When I finally walk over and let him down you would think he was about to kill me.

But he just turns around and stalks off. Well darn it he didn't even get that mad that spoils the whole point of my prank. Ugg why couldn't he get mad. Oh well.

I glance over at the clock and gasp. It's time for the reapings! I run down the stairs and out the door as fast as I can. Then we all gather in the square.

Maribeth trident is in charge of picking the names this year I hear her cheerful voice say "well, well, well gentleman first." And she reaches her hand into the reaping bowl.

She seems to take extra time doing this then finally she pulls out a name. "Rick Pokeluis." I glance over at Rick who is grinning ever so slightly and I fume.

Why should he get all the attention? I'll volunteer and steal his limelight. I grin and say loud and strong "I volunteer as tribute."

"Well than come on up here young man and tell us your name." Maribeth says.

"My name is Zeke Pokeluis and I am going to win the 125th hunger games!" I say grinning.

(from Ira Night's P.O.V)

What a cocky jerk gees he doesn't know he's going to win but whatever.

I prick my ears and listen for the female tribute with Beau standing patiently at my side.

She reaches her hand in and I hear "Chloe Zipperman." What no! She can't go in she'll be killed. I see Chloe take stiff small steps up to the stage. "I volunteer as tribute!" I shout out. "Come on up here then. What's your name and is there anything you would like to say?" she asks.

I walk up whistling for Beau to follow me and say "my name is Ira night, and this year's hunger games is going to be different I just know it." I say mysteriously.

"Well there you have it let's have a round of applause for this year's district two tributes!" she says and everyone starts hooting and hollering I lean back and take it all in and gently pet Beau. Oh yeah I'm going to win this year.

Alright everyone the first reapings! Hope you enjoyed and I'll try to update soon!
