Hand in hand with Laura, we walked to the town's gigantic plaza. Laura's grip tightened as she saw the needle that needed to be pricked into everyone's finger. After we both got our fingers pricked, I told Laura to stand where the 13 years olds were and gave her hand a tight squeeze before she left. I walked over to the bunch of 17 year old were standing. Just two more reapings and I will be free. I exchanged grimaces with the two girls next to me and finally turned to the podium.
The really annoying escort, Mimia Marvala walked up on to the stage. I hate her so much I want to grab her neck and… My attention is suddenly on Mimia clears her throat lightly. "Lets begin with the film brought from the Capitol." Says Mimia in her stupid capitol accent. I roll my eyes and don't even bother watching the film. I've seen it so many times I could probably memorise it. After the clip, Mimia then walked over to the boys ball and squeaked, "Boys first." I gulped, praying that Caleb doesn't get picked. I held my breath as she painstakingly opened the slip of paper. Mimia opened her mouth again and shouted, "Marcus Dalando," I think I have seen Marcus at school one day. Suddenly I heard a voice from the back of the plaza, "I volunteer as tribute!" I spinned around to see who is was. I was pretty sure I had seen him somewhere before but I couldn't figure out where. I watched him strut up and stand on the stage. I could see he was trying to be charming and confident, typical boy career. Mimia smiled so big at him we could see the backs of her teeth. "What's your name dear?' she asked. Marvel smirked and replied," Marvel."
Now for the girls turn, I was trying to calm myself down and turned my head in the direction Caleb was standing. He flashed a worried look on his face as looked at me back. I prayed really quickly that neither Laura nor me be chosen before Mimia announced," Glimmer Silver," I stood there dumbly shocked. What? I never thought this day would come. I gulped and trudged up the stage with two peacekeepers next to me. My heart was pumping loudly. Please, someone! Just volunteer! The rest of my family were standing there, not being able to do anything.
As Mimia Marvala concluded the reaping, I stared at the mountains in the distance. We were then put into our rooms for the final goodbyes. As I sat on the velvet plush chair I wanted to cry but I had to be strong for or family. I looked up as I heard my doorknob twist. Caleb, Laura and Ben jumped into the room. Caleb's face was full of worry, Laura was crying her little heart out and ben was trying to comfort her. I hugged them all and then decided to get down to business. "Laura and Ben, do exactly what I told you this morning. Caleb, make sure no matter what, you do everything to stay alive. Same applies to you two as well," I yell. "Do you hear me? You must do everything to save yourselves!" I shouted. All of them nodded furiously. Laura looked up on me, "Promise you will try to win for us?" I smiled and held out my pinkie as I pinkie sweared. The peacekeeper came to tell us that out time was over. I jumped up to hug them all one time before they were taken from the room. I called," I love you all!" I sat back down on the chair. I had no more visitors.
