This chapter will be introduce you to some of the tributes I have so far, in the story it is still a couple months away from the games but I wanted you to meet a couple of them. Not all the tributes will have a POV in this one just so you know. I'll do a couple chapters like this.
Zara POV district 1 ( Zara's POV's are always journal entries)
To whom it may concern, or in other words, me,
Today was a nice day at the park. Libby had a blast on the swings. My daughters laugh is so adorable, if only she could hear it herself. Yes, my little Libby is deaf but that doesn't stop her from getting into trouble. I wonder if all 18 month olds are this rambunctious. She threw another big tantrum today. I wish I could understand what she wanted.
The hunger games this year are going to be interesting with the new rule and all, not that I'm going to watch then if I can avoid it. It makes me sick just thinking about the games. Its cruel punishment to make us watch people kill one another for entertainment. Especially with what happens last year, these games will be horrific. Thank goodness Libby is too young to be in the games. I can't imagine hearing the name Olivia Jane Everwood called out from on stage. I never wanted to let my little Libby go. However, both my girlfriend Bethany and I are eligible to get reaped again, and with the rule change we could both go as the female tributes. Yes I have a girlfriend, some people hate us for it, in fact my parents disowned me when I told them but Bethie has been there for me through everything, including the drama with Libby's father but I don't like to dwell on things that happens with him. Let's just say after he got me pregnant and I had Libby I swore off men and began dating Bethany 6 months afterwards.
My brother Paul came over today. Despite the rest of my family's wishes he comes over and helps me a lot. He even came with us to the park. Ahh the park, in other words the best place in all of district 1. Thats where we go whenever we can. Almost everyday when I get off work at the children's home, Bethany, Libby and I are at the park. Well its getting late and I should get to bed.

Talise POV district 4
School today sucked. We got a pop quiz on a subject I didn't know well. I mean, who needs to know math in district 4. When we grow up enough we fish for the stupid Capitol, well there are the merchants but there are less of them with the new rule that we have to provide double amount needed than we did before more and more people are forced to fish and find pearls.
After I got off work on the SS Trident's Peer, I went and hung out with my friends Sea Glass, Beth Ann, Gem, Crystal, and Len. We're all super close friends and are in the same year at school. Most of us are 17 but Gem is 16. We've been friends for a long time and I stay with them most of the time. Its not that my siblings don't take care of me, they do, but its not the same as having parents there. Yeah, my parents were made avoxes when I was a baby for protesting the hunger games. I was left with my brother Ferone and my sister Denise. They were very protective of me when I was little but now they have so much other things to deal with that they let me do pretty much whatever I want.
" What do you think of the games this year?" Sea Glass asked us. She has been very paranoid about the games this year what with the new rules.
"I think we're safe, and if one of us gets reaped I'm sure someone will volunteer, someone always volunteers." I said and my friends nodded in agreement. I was known as the sunshine person in my group of friends. I was always happy and made others happy.
The games don't really scare me. I don't hate them. I certainly don't love them. When watching them I just pretend that they are all actors, running through a script. I pretend that I don't remember sitting next to the girl in biology that never came back, or the cute guy that disappeared. Well that's depressing for me, let's talk about something happier, did you see...
Poppy POV district 11
I hate the games. I hate district 11. I hate the Capitol. But most of all I hate the games. Why would a 10 year hate so much you may ask. Well maybe because her older sister died in the games and was never coming back, maybe its because once the rebellion began my family was tortured for information. Maybe because I shouldn't be in the reaping this year along with my 5 year old sister, 8 year old brother. Or maybe its because all the new rules that were in forced. Or it could be watching my dead sisters ally be murdered on screen after she gave us money and hope. Have you guessed it yet? Yeah, my sister was Rue. She was the best big sister ever, now I had to be the oldest. every time my parents see me they look like they're about to cry because I look just like her. The revolution was suppose to work. I shouldn't have to worry about my 5 little siblings going into the hunger games by age 5. Kids that young don't know what the games really are, they just know they're bad because we tell them they're bad. I wish we didn't have to deal with these stupid games or this stupid life. Snow has taken so much from me. My sister, my freedom, even will to keep going. People wonder why I'm so mature for my age but they don't know what I've gone through. If I ever get the chance, I will kill Snow.
So I hope you liked that chapter, there will be more pics next chapter. Please submit more tributes, I have 1/4 the amount I need, BTW district 4 is full so check on my profile to see what's open.
