Chapter 7: District 5

Kurt wished he could get reaped. As soon as he'd been put in a room with Dave Karofsky, he wanted to get out of it through the Hunger Games. Not only could he show his enemy that he had fighting skill and could win (unlikely), he could get away from him if he ended up losing the Games. Although that would be forever.

Unlike the other Districts, males were drawn first from the Reaping ball. Kurt crossed his fingers. He wanted it to be either him or Dave. He prayed, squeezing his eyes shut.

"Dave Karofsky."

Kurt couldn't even hold back his scream of joy. That was a mistake. Before going up onto the stage, he gave Kurt a smack in the face. Thankfully, there was no blood.

The girl Tribute was called next. This time Kurt had nothing to worry about. Dave was gone forever now. Even if he won, he'd get a mansion in the Victor's Village, far away from him.

"Our female tribute is... Kurt Hummel."

Not again.
