I've only been walking for around 5 minutes by the time I get to the town square. There is a huge stage with 2 two reaping balls (one for the girls and one for the boys) and a mic.
I walk over to a table where a woman pokes my finger with a needle, then takes my finger now with some blood on it presses it against a piece of paper and scans it with some machine witch analyzes the blood and tells her my name and age.
After she tells me where to meet all of the other girls my age. I look around for a few minutes before I spot Cato in the crowd I can tell he saw me before I saw him because he was already staring at me when I looked over. He nods at me and I nod
back I think we are confirming that we are both volunteering.
I am startled when I hear Caty Jackten district two's escort start speaking into the mic. "Welcome to the 74th Hunger Games" she states. " Now as usual ladies first." She grabs a slip of paper out of the reaping ball and unfolds it, before she can finish
the first syllable of the name I shoot my hand up and yell "I volunteer as tribute!" Nobody is surprised that I volunteer which is to be expected, there is a volunteer from district one and two almost every year unlike the outline districts like ten,
eleven and twelve.
I don't think twelve has ever volunteer. Anyway I am escorted by a peacekeeper up onto the stage where I can see everyone in the crowd including my mother who is balling her eyes out once again. Caty asks me my name "Clove Kentwell" I say confidently
looking straight at Cato but for some reason he won't make eye contact with me and I think I may know why...
Hope you guys are enjoying the story I'm hoping to find more inspiration to write the story or I might not continue writing please let me know in the comments and leave suggestions. Thanks
