-District 12-

River Ashford

Oh ma god... Today is the reaping for the 100th Hunger Games. I will do the most unthinkable thing on earth: volunteer to my possibly certain death. But, I'm doing this for my mother and Jasmine. I want to make their lives better with fame and fortune!

Effie Trinket comes up, we watch the video and before she can finish talking I say yell "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE" Everyone in our district gasped. I knew I could win but I'm still not sure... "And who might you be?" "Ashford. River Ashford."

Joseph McCoy

Oh crap. I thought. River was my friend, I even had a crush on her... This reaping confimed it... "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" I can't even think about what I said... but, I knew I made the correct choice.

"Well, two volunteers? And who are you?" "Joseph McCoy!" I'm on stage and I shook her hand... "I did it for you..." I whisper. She gasped. I think in my mind... Let the games begin...
