Reapings District 6
Phillip's POV
As I sit down eating a piece of toast, I thought about the previous hunger games. 32 children dead. 32 children slaughtered by the capitol.
I'm snapped out of my horrible trance by my brother, Tinder calling from the front door
"Phillip! Toshio's here!"
"One second!" I mumble my mouth full. We walk to the square in silence. That's all I need.
"Listen Phillip," Toshio starts to say.
"Dude, stop. It's gonna be fine." I cut him off.
Lieke's POV
"Hey Lieke!" I turn around to see Reyna, my best friend running towards me.
"Hey. Careful or you'll ruin your dress." I reply. She stops in front of me and catches her breath.
"You look really pretty in that dress you know, and I know someone else who thinks so..." She finishes.
"Reyna, you know I don't want a boyfriend." I walk off now, to the sixteen year old girl section. I look over to Reyna again, and see her talking to Saydie. They're talking about me, I can tell by the way they stop and look at me every 30 seconds. They walk off to the front of the throng of sixteen year old girls, as far away from me as possible.
Phillip's POV
Our escort talks about the dark-days for what seems like hours, the whole time one of the district 6 mentors eyes trained on me like a hawk. I've heard rumours about her. She stares the next tribute down until they're chosen, before anyone knows. A few sympathetic looks fly my way, and Toshio looks green.
Lieke's POV
"And now, we're going to mix things up a bit! Gentleman first." His purple tinged hand plunges into the boys bowl, and I follow Ryder, one of our mentors gaze, and find them fixed on a 17 year old boy.
"Hey, what's that boy's name?" I whisper to the girl next to me. She flinches away from me at first, as if I have some sort of disease, then she follows my gaze and whispers back,
"That's Phillip Lombard. He's the one who punched Leo." Oh yeah. He's going to get reaped this year, Ryder's already confirmed that. But he doesn't seem worried at all.
"Phillip Lombard" At this, his friend, who was looking a sickly colour before, threw up all over the floor. Phillip was already at the stage, smiling at our mentors.
"Croatia Spearwood." As I look over to the stage I see a small girl walking up the stairs. She didn't even look old enough to be reaped, and her whole body was shaking. Pity overwhelms me. Who would even notice if I was gone?
"I volunteer!" I scream. I start to walk up to the stage, the girl running up and wrapping her arms around my waist. Maybe someone will care after all.
Hope you like it and that I portrayed your characters well. Review me your top six characters! :D
