A/N (Glossy): I REALLY need someone to take the D9 boy. I already have three tributes, and so do many others so if you have only one or so it would be great if you could do it. People with more tributes will have some of their tributes go far. Just saying, the more you help the better you'll do. Also, reviews don't hurt your chances.

Andre Seymar, 16 (written by LokiThisIsMadness)

District 3 Male

Chessie! Her name is the first thing on my mind when I wake up. I reach out for her, or at least, for the space that should have been in.

But then, I remember what will happen today, something that Chessie and I spent last night trying to forget. It was the first time that I saw my best friend drinking and then, one thing lead to another and we started kissing and-

I shake my head. At least, I made her forget what would happen today even if it was only for a little while. For Chessie, I would do literally anything. 5 years ago, Chessie's older sister and best friend was reaped, when Chessie was only 11 years old. I remember that she was a favorite back in the Capitol, since Chessie and I watched her interview together. Mariana was beautiful at 18, with dark brown hair and brown eyes, and a talent at making friends.

I was the only one there for Chessie when Mariana was stabbed in the back by a Career, getting the 11th place. Since then, she moved into the apartment next to the one I live with my mother, Cora, so we could be closer to each other. Her parents separated after her that and her dad disappeared of the map.

Just like my dad, after my little brother Niko was born. Yeah, I get it, it was cool of my mom to cheat on him like that, but me and little Niko had nothing to do with that. I needed my dad, I needed the man who taught me who to work with a computer or do everything that I know. But he just left, which showed that he didn't give a damn about me, just like my mother said.

I refused to believe that, though. I refuse to believe that he didn't gave a damn about me, because why would he make sure that I was strong and healthy before he left? Maybe because he thought I could leave and survive, while my mother and little brother starved to death? Yeah, right. I don't care what my mother did, Niko is still my little brother. Like with Chessie, I would do anything for him. Literally, anything.

I stand up and walk to our small bathroom. I take a quick shower because that's all we can do, anyway. After getting dressed, I stumble into Niko, who is looking quite happy.

"Hey little bud'." I ruffle his dark hair a bit and smile. How could I ever leave this kid behind? Niko is currently thirteen, but he is already good-looking.

"Andre! I saw Chessie leaving earlier. What was she doing over here, uh? So late?" He winks, causing me to blush. It's not possible that my little brother has any idea of-

Before I can answer, my mother appears, almost out of nowhere. "What are you two doing in here? Breakfast is ready!" She gives Niko a disaproving look and leaves.

Niko smiles sadly. "I guess she'll never stop hating me, yeah?" My poor little brother, who didn't deserve to have our mother hating him.

I hug him, not knowing what else to do. Our mother has been like this to him since my father left, there is nothing else to do.

We have breakfast in silence and after that, Niko and I leave for the reapings. Chessie and I had agreed to meet later at the square, after Niko was safe at his section. It's only when we are reaching the square that I realize that Niko didn't say a word yet.

I turn to him. "Hey, is everything okay?" I know that he's probably nervous but I can't go meet Chessie without knowing that is alright, for sure.

He nodds. "I'll see you later, my friends are there." He walks away and before I can turn away, a pair of arms wrap around my torso and Chessie rests her head on my shoulder.

"Hey there." I pull her into my arms and we kiss, forgetting about what is happening around us, at least for a split second. When we break apart, I decide to say what I've been waiting to say for ten years.

"I love you."

Chessie smiles. "I love you too. I'll meet you after, okay? We can take Niko and go to my house and play some video games. My dad won't be there."

It's this girl that I feel in love with. My best friend, my partner in crime. I kiss her nose. "Good luck."

"You too."

With that, I walk to the boys' sixteen year old section, right before the reapings start. Our escort goes straight to the reapings and I guess I respect her for that.

Not Chessie, please. Not Chessie. Not Chessie.

"Tethys Rashid!" The girls in sixteen hear old aection part for a girl with dark hair, that is already smiling. Why is she smiling? Because she is going to her death? I sight with relief. Chessie is safe for another year. One more and she'll be free, forever.

Not Niko, please. Not Niko. Not my little brother.

"Andre Seymar!" At first, I don't react. I stand still, looking around, hoping that the chosen boy will step foward and walk to his death, alongside Tethys.

It's only when I hear Chessie's scream is that I realize it's me. I walk to the stage slowly and after I reach it, the escort makes me shake the girl's hand. Her smile is making me sick, to be honest.

Before I am taken to the Justice Building, I whisper four words to Chessie.

Take care of Niko.

Tethys Rashid, 16 (written by HestiaAbnegation11)

District 3 Female

Why couldn't everyone just be nice to one another? I think on Reaping day. It would just save so much time and lives. Not everyone thinks that. The Capitol doesn't neither does the districts. Well, I guess that's our lives today. "Tethys!" My friend, Annabelle shouts from across the room. "What?" I say.

"Reaping day, today we get pancakes!" She says and runs toward me. She's only 12, she doesn't know any better than to shout. "Awesome, where's mommy?" I ask her?

"She's making them in the kitchen. It won't take very long I don't think, do you Tethy?" She asks me?

"No, I don't think so, Annie. How was yesterday?" I ask yawning.

"It was great! At school we learned about science and genetics and things! I didn't get very much, but I knew more than the rest of the class!" Annie shouts.

"I'm sure that was great, but the pancakes will be greater!" I shout running to the kitchen to grab a pancake.

I grab one and start eating it, because this is the only time of the year where we can eat pancakes. "Thanks mom." I tell my mother and she smiles back at me.

"I'm going to go see what Emilene is doing." I say and taking my pancake to go.

"Kay, but be at the Reapings by 10! We don't want to be late!" She shouts before I slam the door to go to Emilene's house. I race down the streets and everything when I get to Emilene's house I see her pretty blonde hair bobbing around the front yard. "Come here, Alex!" She shouts running toward the dog.

It decides another path and runs straight between her legs and she flies and lands on her face. "Hey Emilene!" I shout and she looks up, her face muddy.

"Hi Tethys. I am so going to murder this dog!" She shouts jumping up and racing after the poor dog.

She grabs the dog and lugs him inside and I see her little brother. "Hey, Ren!" I shout and he runs toward me and hugs my legs.

"Hi Tethys!"

"Let's go to the Reaping!" Emilene's mom shouts and grabs the car keys and gets into the really old car.

We drive put-putting toward the Reaping. We stop in the parking lot and unload going toward the Reaping person. "Hi, I'm Emilene Travis and this is Tethys Rashid, we are eligible to be reaped, what are we supposed to do?"

"Prick your finger." She says and pricks our fingers.

"Ouch." I exclaim and we walk toward where we are supposed to stand. I see my mother and Annie in the crowd. I stand next to Emilene and a girl from school named Fran.

"Hello retard, how are you today?" she fakes a smile at me.

Emilene steps between me and her and says "Got a problem, idiot?"

Fran steps back and straightens her blonde hair "Just take retard girl!" She calls to the escort.

Emilene leaps at her and tackles her to the ground. "Stop..stop." I whisper but I don't think they hear me.

"Welcome to District Three!" The escort shouts to us.

Ugh, he could use without the microphone, thank you very much! "Stop shouting!" Someone yells at the back of the crowd and everyone laughs.

"Um, well, yes, let's get right to it! Let's start with the girls!"

He reaches down into the bowl and I cross my fingers. "Tethys Rashid." And I am shell-shocked. "Told you." Fran whispers in my ear as I walk up to the stage.

"Now for the boys! Andre Seymar!" He shouts and a young boy starts to walk forth. Too bad for him, we will die.

"Your tributes from District Three! Andre Seymar and Tethys Rashid!"

I go into the Justice building and see my mom and Annie standing in there, waiting for me. "Tethy!" Annie shouts, her eyes filling with tears and she starts to bawl.

"It's okay. Its' okay." I say giving her a huge hug.

"Mom." I say looking at her.

"Not my daughter." She whimpers and goes into my arms.

"You're time is up." A Peacekeeper says from behind us.

"No it's not, it hasn't been two minutes." My mom says defiantly.

"That is for the other districts, due to the amount of rebellions in District Three at the moment we have had to cut it down. Leave now, or be forcibly removed."

They leave and Annie tries to hold onto my leg but my mom picks her up and carries her away. My next visitor is Emilene. "Tethys!" She shouts and runs into my arms and gives me a bear hug.

"It's okay, Emilene, at least no one else will die. Except Andre." I say whimpering.

"Tethys! Stop being so selfless, it's okay to be a little selfish right now." She says.

"Time is up." The peacekeeper says.

"No it isn't." Emilene's eyes flash angrily.

He picks her up by the legs and she screams and swats at his helmet. Well, at least no one except me and Andre will die from District Three.
