So sorry about not updating for a long time. School shopping got in the way, also some other stuff. (Hunger games stuff)

"Zoey and Mike." I looked around, everyone was looking at me. I could not breath, I was in shock. I slowly walked up the steps, everyone was so happy I was picked, I was not that strong, but I'm fast. I give in to quickly to coldness or heat, but I could climb and swim.

"One thing, why did I get picked? Why are you all so happy?" I said

"Because you're fast, you can swim. You're the smartest." Someone said.

I quickly ran off to the bathroom. Shutting the door and locking the door. I was crying, a lot. I took the rubber band off my arm and tied my hair up. I wiped my tears up with the bottom of my shirt. Quickly unlocking the door and ran off. Pushing the door and running outside. I was free outside. I kept running till I got home. Still no one was home, that was great. I grab my Reaping dress and ran to my room. I fell to the floor crying, I can't take this anymore, I know I will get picked, Might as well. I picked up the pillow and open it. I grab the necklace my friend gave me. Sarah, she got picked and no one went for her. She burned to death, the gamemakers set a fire and she was sleeping. It was the biggest talk in the capitol. I rubbed the blue jem, I opened it saw her picture and mine. I fell down on the floor with a loud thump.

K, so another cliffhanger. I know it was short but I will update again today or tommrow.
