The square is filled with people. I think I am starting to feel a little claustrophobic. My mom and Francis are going to be in the back ad I will be in the section where the 16 year olds are. I walked up to the peacekeeper who is taking my blood to sign me in. I walked to the section I'm supposed to be in, when I see Rosemary. She is about 20 people to my left, she sees me and gives me a nervous face. I winked at her and mouthed everything is going to be alright. And I really think so. For her whole life she's only taken 2 tessaraes before where as I had taken 12. But I tend to worry, even though there's not much people around here I hardly think my chances of getting picked as a tribute is remote.

The District 12 escort I learned her name is Bekinda Larkovsky and she looks just as capitol as the capitol itself. She wears a puffy aqua wig to go with her pale skin. She is plump and is wearing a purple garland dress. Her heels just look ridiculous. I mean seriously? get ahold of yourself.

"Welcome to the 50th Hunger Games and our 2nd Annual Quarter Quell" she boomed. "And may the odds be ever in your favour!"

"Please enjoy this delightful video from the Capitol" She then said

The screen shows the video that people must seen a thousand times by now, then Bekinda started to tear up a little during the end. God, get ahold of yourself. I thought. People in the Capitol are such crybabies and seriously? this video tends to even make people cry.

Bekinda finally gets herself together and say "Now it is time for the reapings, as you know this year our Quarter Quell will be a little different" She says. "Gee isn't every Quarter Quell different?" I murmured.

"This year, there will be twice the amount of tributes!" She exclaimed. "Oh it is going to be so exciting!"

For you. I thought.

"And as usual, Ladies first." She draws a name out of the bowl and reads it out loud.

"Blye Duncain" She said. The girl must be a seam girl. She had dark hair falling down her back and her eyes were gray and is filled with terror, as she walked up to the stage. Bekinda congratulated her on being this year's tribute as she drawed out another name.

"Maysilee Donner" The girl was blonde and was huddled around bunch of other merchant girls, as she walked up bravely onto the stage. I think that she's about the same age as me.

"And now for the gentlemen" Boomed Bekinda, who snapped me into reality. She drawed a name out and reads it out loud again and this time its "Runyon Elestren" This guy looked very skinny and had a sad look in his eyes. He was obviously from the Seam, and what I think is his sister screamed his name. But he ignored her desperate yells and made his way to the stage. He shook hands with Maysilee and Blye and just stood there.

"WOW!" exclaimed Bekinda. "What a day!" "It's time for our final male tribute."

Bekinda walked to the bowl and drawed out one final name and read it out loud and name almost made me fell on my knees, cause the name she read was "Haymitch Abernathy"

I was in total shock. I couldn't even talk. All I can do is look at my mom and Francis with their mouths wide open. And I see Rosemary covering her hands over her mouth. I couldn't do anything. I broke my promise. But there's nothing I can do now. I am walking to the stage shaking hands with the other tributes while Bekinda bambles on of us. We then walk through the door and making our way to the Justice Building.
