District 10, Granger Croft

"I'm not crazy" I whispered to myself for the 100th time today, I mean I cant be crazy right? I'm sure a couple of people get a little excited for the Hunger Games.

"No they don't" I heard the same voice in my head since I turned 12. "You're the only one, everyone thinks your crazy" the voice said hissing.

"I'm not crazy!" I said a little louder than I meant. I heard footsteps coming down from the hall, my mother came in.

"Is every thing okay?" My mother says looking concerned "I heard you shout, are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm okay just hurt my toe on the desk" I replied trying to reassure her.

"Well you're father told me to tell you to get dressed, and you know how he is like when he's angry..." My mother said dropping her voice at the last part.

"Sure just give me a few seconds" I said smiling. When she left the room I went to my desk and sat down on it.

"Hurt you toe on the desk, Oh the pain you must feel" The voice said mockingly.

"Shut up or I'll show you pain" I said in my mind. All of the sudden my head started throbbing and felt an immense pain on the back of my head, I put my head on the desk trying to block the light coming from the window which bothers me and makes it worse. This isn't the first time this happened, I used to get them a lot when I was 12 and 13. Last time I got a headache like this was 5 months ago, my theory is whenever I argue to the voice in my head it happens. The only other person who knows about the voice in my head is my older brother Yorick. I look back up when the pain subsided a little, I looked into the mirror a notice my scorched skin which is normal for district 10 boys is redder than usual. My sapphire eyes are bloodshot, I get a comb and try to brush my messy brown curly hair.

"What is taking you so long! You better be dressed or you're gonna get it!" My father shouted from outside the door, I run to my dresser and pull out my best cloth. He came in the room when I was halfway of putting my shirt on.

"I'm going to put my shoes on right now" I said instantly smiling to my father. He started at me for a while trying to see if I was hiding anything from him.

"Well hurry up your two brothers are waiting for you and Yorick is going to be home waiting for you, your mother and I are going to be out somewhere" My father said in irritated voice.

"You mean mom's not going to the reapings?" I asked.

"Why do you care?" He huffed leaving the room.

"He doesn't love you, He thinks your scum like everybody else" The voice said in my head. I stayed quiet trying not to say anything back to it. "I feel bad for your parents giving birth to such a disappointment." The voice said trying to provoke me.

"Shut up" I whispered a little angry. I walk out of the room and see my three brothers, Yorick, Juri and Koresh conversing with each other.

"Finally what took you so long!" Juri said with nervousness in his voice, he was already 18 year old. Even though it was his last reapings it he still had his name more than anyone in this house with 32 times.

"Are you excited!" Koresh said jokingly.

"Yes"

"No" I said to my brother, but the response was for the voice. "Mama and Papa left already?" I asked.

"Yup you just missed them." Koresh answered.

"Lets go before we're late again." my Juri said with laughter in his voice.

"Again?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah when you were 11, Yorick dropped his glasses on the way to town square, He didn't notice until 5 minutes later" Koresh answered.

"We found it next to a farm, Don't ask me how we found it or why we we're looking over there. So we found it on the edge of the farm and apparently there was a skunk there" Juri said laughing and couldn't keep going, same with Koresh. I looked at Yorick who was a deep color of red but he continued on with the story.

"So we spent like 20 minutes waiting for the skunk to leave but it never did. So I tried to get my glasses by crawling so I looked an animal" He said blushing

"He looked so stupid!" Juri said laughing harder.

"So long story short he got sprayed by the skunk-"

"That's why you smelled horrible for a week when I was 11!" I said finally realizing why he smelled so bad.

"As I was saying I got sprayed by the skunk and had to go to the reapings smelling like a dog crap, of course we were late and we were punished. Someone told us to get the smell away was by using tomato juice. So I drank 3 gallons until noticing that she meant bathing in, it worst day of my life! Yorick said.

"Where was I when this happened" I said laughing.

"Getting a beating" The voice said ruining the happy moment. soon my smile turned into a straight face.

"What ever lets go before were late" Juri said already leaving. Soon Koresh and I all followed, not knowing what was coming next.

Zoe Braun, 15

I tend to take risks, over react, be mean, loud, I love to annoy people and I'm prideful about it. I had a normal life so far until last year I was playing on the ice with one of my best friends, Coral. My dad of course was watching us from the distance to see if anything happened to any of us. He thought he was being secretive we both knew of course. My dad is always trying to scare us he laughs for the weirdest things, for example a friend of mine was talking to me he was telling me about his scorched back from working in the sun to much. and my dad laughed. He laughed! My friend avoided coming to my house ever since. Okay back to what I was saying Coral and I was playing on the Ice, the ice was very thin. We heard it crack beneath are feet but we kept going, we would slide against the smooth ice but we heard the loud noise and next thing I know I heard a loud noise and I was under water. Coral grabbed onto my arm luckily, she couldn't pull me up because the current of the water. After that I don't know what happened but Coral told me I was dead for 17 seconds and my father saved me.

"You okay?" I heard Coral ask me, I look towards her, her dark skin looks paler than normally and her white eyes looked nervous.

"Yeah just thinking" I lied, in reality I was thinking how fast my life changed in just a few seconds after falling into the lake I noticed how I left nothing behind for anybody. If I died I would of been forgotten by everyone, I left nothing monumental. I want to be remembered for something that stays permanently in everybody's mind until the end of their death

"There you guys are!" I turned around and see my other two best friends, Stark and Bella coming towards us

"Excuse me but the last time I checked we're girls not guys" Coral said jokingly.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night" Bella said happily.

"We should get going we've been looking for you guys for a long time" Stark said starting to walk towards the town square.

"Well he's in rush" I said looking at Bella.

"He's always like that! Also with that stupid motto he says all the time! 'Keep up or get left behind'" She said mimicking stark's voice badly. Bella is always like this she's one of the happiest person in the world next she's like an angry bull ready to attack.

"I may not be facing you but I still could hear you!" He said still walking forward.

"You know we're just kidding!" Coral said smiling.

"Yeah whatever" Stark said in a dull voice. his sandy colored hair moving in the wind. We walked in silence but saying a few jokes or pointing things out on the way to town square. We walked up to the peacekeeper and drew are blood we went to groups I went to the 15 year olds Coral and Bella went to the 16 year olds. Stark went to his group and I lost sight of him.

"Welcome! I will be your new escort this year due to the other one becoming an avox!" she laughed. "My name is Buttercup Dreamcoat!" I knew that wasn't her real name or last name because I know no parent who would name their child that, They said the boring speech they say each year about Districts 13 rebellion and failure. "Well lets do girls first this year!" She dipped her hand and took a piece of paper. my heart thudding against my chest.

"Please don't be anyone I know." I whispered barley audible.

"Zoe Braun" Buttercup said smiling looking out to the crowd. My heart stopped But I showed no emotion, If I stayed like this they wouldn't know it was me. "Zoe Braun?" Buttercup asked. I saw everyone staring at me and I knew my plan was futile. I quickly look around looking for the place with the least of people and quickly made a dash pushing people out the way and tripping people on the way. My heart was thudding against my chest, I was crying now I knew my plan was not going to work when peacekeepers was already surrounding me and one of them grabbing me and dumping me on the stage.

"Please don't let me go!" I said holding onto the peacekeeper. He gave me a sad look but left the stage.

"What a surprise! I see a fighter In you!" The escort said beaming.

"Shut up you old hag" I told her showing that I don't want her helping me making me look good in front of the cameras.

Granger Croft, 17

"You're next I just know it" The voice said sounding crazy

"No I'm not you don't know anything!" I whispered to the voice. After they picked up the girl I think Zoe she was called and dumped her on the stage. The escort went to the boy's bowl.

"I Wonder who it will be this year" the escort said giggling.

"I wonder to..." The voice said in my head.

"Be quiet!" I said aloud the people around me looked at me oddly but then turned their direction at the escort again.

"This years tribute will be Granger Croft! Will you please come up on stage please. My headache came back and I fell to the floor and blocked out. But before I did I couldn't help but smiling a little.

Zoe Braun, 15

I saw a boy smile and fall to the floor fainting. A peacekeeper picked him up and took him to the Visitors room.

"Well that's our tributes for the 67th Hunger games! Have a good day and may the odds be ever in your favor" Buttercup said in a Capitol accent. A peacekeeper walked me to the Justice building for my visitors. The first people to come in was my father and mother.

"This is why I didn't want to have kids I knew this would happen!" My mother said crying. "I'm so sorry for bringing you into this life" My mother said hugging me now. "I love you so much please come back I love you so, so much!" She said desperately. My mothers dark hair blocking my vision I didn't see my dad coming towards me and hugging me.

"Those stupid Capitol people who do they think they are! Only if I could show them how weak they really are, You have to win and come back to us. I want to show them that the Braun family's not someone to mess with! I know you could do it train hard I will be watching from home I love you" My father said angrily. We stayed there for a long time in silence.

"Thank you Dad for saving me last year" I said breaking the silence.

"You guys got to go times up" The peacekeeper said coming in. my parents left and came in my 4 friends. All of them had faces of shock but Bella was crying her eyes out.

"It's okay you guys don't have to cry" I said realizing something.

"Who invented the Hunger Games I swear I'm going to kill him! Even if hes dead I'm going to make him come back to life and then kill him again! Bella said getting mad all of the sudden.

"What do you mean we don't have to cry! of course I'm going to cry we might never see you again!" Coral said tears pouring out of her. Coral leaped towards me and tackled hug me then stark and then Bella.

"I just realized something" I said with a note of happiness "It's my time to be remembered by everyone"
