Ch.2 Ryan
"Hurry up Ryan!" yelled my mother. She was so excited that the quarter quell was going to happen for the first time. I put down the Panem Times that I was reading in my room and stood up. I ran down the black marvel stairs and almost slipped. I regained my balance and continued hustling down the stairs. I reached the family room and sat down in the patted sofa. "I'm so excited!" said my mother. "Yup." I said agreeing. Even though inside I really didn't care. "Welcome." Bellowed Nick Flame. He was wearing a black outfit and his black hair was slicked back. He had the symbol of Panem as a pin pinned onto his shirt. "It is now that time when we have the quarter quell." I kind of zoned out after that because all he talked about for the next hour is about the hunger games past. Next to me I could hear my parents agreeing and laughing to what Nick was saying. Finally, after an hour in a half, President Nick was given a white envelope with the number 25 written on it. He started to open it. He held it out in front of his face and read aloud. "1 man and 1 woman from districts 1,2,3,6,7,11,12 will compete in the Hunger Games. The president of Panem will be the head game maker." President Nick paused. "Well I think this will be a splendid huger games." he chuckled" oh and may the odd ever be in your favor!" The TV went black. "What a wonderful idea." my mother said happily. "Since we're in district 3 you could be chosen Ryan!" "yay." I said trying to sound happy. "You should go out and practice son."My dad said. He had a stern look on his face. "ok ok. " I said. I stood up and walked over to pick up my custom daggers that I stored in my drawer. I had them custom made and added that there is poison at the tip. I got my coat and walked outside. Some snow was falling from the sky and made a small dusting of snow on the ground. I thought it would be better to get to the gym by taking the train. I wait at the platform with a whole bunch of other people. When the train comes I get on and sit down next to a beautiful young woman. She had blond hair, was tall, and had deep blue eyes. She notices me staring at her and asked me if I wanted something." oh sorry, I...ummmm..." I was blushing a lot because she was chuckling. "Its ok you seem kind of cute, what's your name." "Ryan. What about you." I asked. "Mary." "That's a nice name." I say. The train comes to a stop and Mary stands up. "Well... Hope to see you again." "ya bye." She left the train and I still sat. I just remember that I forgot to ask how old she was. I am 15 so I hope she's close. I had the next stop which was the gym.
