AN. Wow, I haven't updated in a long time! Well, here is district 9 and 10. I have reached the 50 doc limit so I have to cut back. I will get rid of a few docs. Anyway, here is two districts for you! Next up is district 11 and 12. Hope you enjoy!

Coffee

Maria Therese Rushman...

I wake up and I feel tired. This is obvious since I just woke up. I sigh and slowly get out of bed. I walk into the living room where my mom and dad are passed out with their mouths wide open and drooling. I sigh. I go back to my room and throw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, like any day.

I walk outside and across the street to my boyfriends. I don't know what it is about him, but we don't seem to quite...click. When I talk to him about adventure, he falls asleep! He is a really good person, but we don't like the same things. Like, I want adventure more than anything! I want to leave the district and see the world, climb a mountain, swim in the ocean, find artifacts from one hundred years ago! You know the drill. I only talk to him about it, I am very shy and I feel uncomfortable talking to people about...anything, so really Ii don't talk at all. And people ignore me because I freak them out since my blue eyes blend with my whites and my hair is so blond is almost white. I am tall and I remind people of ghosts.

I knock on my boyfriend's door. He opens and he is all dressed up with a tie and everything!

"Why are you so fancy?" I laugh.

"Because of the reaping" he says, lightly kissing me.

"Oh my gosh, I forgot!" I say.

"Well, you better hurry" he jokes.

"Okay" I say running back to my house. I pull on a white dress and put my hair into a braid and put my shoes into a pair of flats and run back to my boyfriends.

"That was fast" he says.

"I try, and I'd be good on an adventure if you'd come" I say.

"Maria, adventures aren't for us" he says, giving me a hug.

"Maybe not for you, but for me yes" I say.

"Well, if you ever go on one, bring me with you."

"I will" I say.

We walk hand in hand to the Justice Building. But do you see what I mean? He doesn't like adventure; he is not like me at all. He is the only person who knows me. No body else in the world knows I like adventure or can even talk. They all think that I'm a ghost and that he is a freak who dates dead people. But we like each other, but still. He is not a fan of adventure, which is not good if you're dating me.

When we get there, my boyfriend walks off to the eighteen year old boys while I go to the girls.

I become so quiet that to even myself, I seem like a ghost. The girls around me seem uncomfortable and shift to there side and there is a big gap where everyone moved away from me. I'm used to it by now, but it doesn't make it hurt less.

I listen. I can listen very easily and hear everyone. That's one of my talents.

A girl is fighting with another girl about a boy. One girl is talking about world peace, and another is singing something weird. Well, this is interesting...

"Happy Hunger Games!" the escort says. "Our female for thuis years games shall be..."

"Maria Rushman!"

No, no, no, no! It can't be me!

Wait a second, this means I'm going on an adventure! I run up on stage. I can win! I know I can win!

I feel uncomfortable now and slowly walk back to the back of the stage and stay put. I look at my boyfriend who is screaming and trying to make his way through the crowd.

I put my hands up and look at him and telling him to stop without words. He looks at me with big, teary eyes. I blow a kiss at him.

"And our male tribute will be..."


Shayde Raye...

I wake up and smile because I'm meeting my friends today. Most of my friends have to stay home because of the reaping but Ian, Chandler and Leo are free.

I live alone so I have no plans. My parents and siblings died a long time ago so I stay alone. I have a job and go to school. Anyway, I get up and go outside. I wore a t-shirt and sweat pants last night, so I'm fine. I'll change a few minutes before the reaping.

I hear a knock on the door so I jog over. I open the door to the grim faces of Chandler and Leo. They are twin brothers. They must be worried about the reaping.

"You guys feeling okay?" I ask. They lost their sister to the games.

"Yeah" Chandler says.

"You worried about the reaping?' I ask.

Leo nods. They have brown shaggy hair, like me. But they have green eyes unlike me, I have brown ones.

"We have to meet Ian at the market, he has to go with his family" Leo says.

"Oh well" I say. "Let's go have some fun."

I like to have fun. When my mom was still alive she said I was the life of the party. She's right, I love hanging out with my friends.

We walk out the door and to the market to find Ian.

We walk along and joke the whole way. Even though my parents died and I live alone, I have a very happy life. I like just hanging out with these guys and everything. I don't want anything to change. Well, maybe kids and a wife sometime in the future. My friends will be known as uncles to my kids, and I will be an uncle to theirs. And if their sister was still around, she'd be an aunt.

Once we get to the market, we immediately split up and search for Ian. The market is one of the biggest things in district nine, which shouldn't be so big since the only thing in the market is probably grain since that is what our district is famous for.

I look around and see Ian looking bored out of his mind and sitting on the ground, almost asleep.

"Hey" I say.

"Hey" Ian says, halfheartedly.

"Dude, you look like the life was sucked out of you" I laugh.

"I'm pretty sure it was, all that they are selling is GRAIN!" Ian says. See? What did I tell you?

"Ha, who knew?" I say, sarcastically.

"Not that I don't love grain. Grain, grain, grain, GRAIN, grain, GRAIN, grain, grain, GrAiN...Grain and a bit more grain, I love it man, but seriously? There is only one market once a year and it's all about GRAIN!" Ian says, making the whole grain thing sound sarcastic.

"I see" I say. "Just don't overdue the grain to much, it'll make you fat, you'll bloat up like a balloon." I'm joking about it because he said grain so much, but this just seems to offend Ian. "Sorry."

"It's fine, man" Ian says. I tend to offend people without meaning to.

Chandler and Leo appear out of no where. "Hey, let's go."

We all know what they mean when they say "go". They mean behind the one of the factories (a grain factory of course!) where we always hang out. It will probably be for just a few minutes, because the reaping is growing near. None of the guys are dressed and they'll all just borrow my clothes since they do that every year. No worries about that, we won't get reaped so it's pretty good. There is no use putting your name in for the tessaerae if you live in the district of GRAIN!

Anyway, we head down.

We do the usual, laugh, offend each other with jokes, and check out girls that walk past...anything a group of teenaged boys would do.

"Oh gosh" Leo says.

"What?" Ian asks.

"I think we might be late" Leo says. We bolt since we all know what he means...the reaping.

We all run to my place. It's really, really small. In fact, it's only one room but I hang blankets on the walls to make separate rooms.

Life is pretty good here.

I had to leave the house my family used to live in since I couldn't afford to stay there. It was really hard for me, because I had so many memories. It happened with a fire. My sister was screaming at me to go, for me to not wait for her and...Well, it was the worst mistake I ever made, leaving.

Anyway, Chandler and Leo run to my closet while Ian checks under my bed and I run to the bathroom. Strange you may say, but those are the places I leave my clothes.

I pull on a white button up shirt and dark jeans with a tie and...I look like a waiter. Oh well, I don't have enough time to care since we jump and we all run to the door and run as fast as we can to the Justice Building.

We are very late as usual, but the Peacekeeper we know is waiting there. She just rolls her eyes and hurries us to the sixteen year old boys section, just as they call out a girls name. She has blond, almost white, hair with blue eyes that blend with her whites. Her skin is pale...she looks like a ghost of sorts. Although, she is a bit pretty.

I barely notice the escort walking to the boys bowl and calling out a name.

Everything is quiet. So where is this guy, huh? I feel a push on my back.

I look behind me.

"I-it's you" Leo whispers.

"Who?" I ask.

"You, Shayde" Leo says.


District ten

Tanita Cunshell...

I get up and whine. Why is it the reaping again? I mean seriously, every year? I roll my eyes and slowly get out of bed. I push my hair back and put on a simple blue dress. I hate my hair sometimes, I hate that it's an afro. But what do you expect? I am African and I have curly hair that reaches my waist. I have so much hair. I also have black skin and brown eyes. But what ever, it doesn't matter.

I sigh and walk down the stairs. My little sisters and little brother sit at the table. I'm the oldest of four. Four kids that I have to look after. Oh well, nothing I can do, I guess.

"Hey, Tani" my brother says.

"Hey. And its Tanita, not Tani" I say.

"I know, but I'm just trying to make you angry" my brother says.

"Oh, I know" I say, rolling my eyes. I am so tired, I can't stay awake or I may have to kill my siblings. I sit down at the table and drink a cup of coffee and almost pass out. My little sister pokes me in the ear.

"Don't" I say.

She rolls her eyes.

"It's almost time for the reaping, go get dressed" I say.

"You first" says one of my little sisters.

"I am dressed, and you're not" I say. My sisters are only wearing a pair of pajamas that show off way to much for girls of their age. Well, I guess I rubbed off on them.

I start to eat the food on the table. Once finished, I get up and walk to the Justice building. I don't really care that I'm leaving without them because my little brother has had two reapings so he'll show them the way.

I finally get there.

The escort walks on stage. God she is annoying, all the capital people are.

"Happy Hunger Games!" the escort says.

I roll my eyes.

"Ladies first!" she chirps. She is a lot younger than most escort. I think her name is Elodie Castle.

She picks out and name and skips over and reads allowed: "Tanita Cunshell!"

I almost start screaming bloody murder but I have no time since the peacekeepers are leading me on stage.

"And our male tribute will be..."


Saun Razan...

Oh no! Reaping, reaping, reaping! I don't want to go! I don't want to leave. No, no no!

I jump out of bed and start to through my pretty sharp things at the wall. They are very pretty and shiny.

My sister runs to my room looking worried. Why?

"Saun, no!" she says.

'No?" I ask.

"No knives, Saun" she says taking them away.

"NO!" I scream.

"Shhh, its okay, shhh" she says.

"I want them!" I yell.

"No" she says.

My eyes start to get wet.

I put my head in my hands and yell. I feel the line on my face. I don't like it.

"How are you feeling?" my sister asks. She is very pretty.

"Line is hurting again" I say.

"You mean your scare?" she asks.

"No, line" I say. She nods.

"Are you ready for the reaping?"

"Not going" I say.

"You have to go" she says.

"No" I say.

"Yeah, it'll only be for a few minutes, then it's over" she says.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I say. Why is she being so mean?

"Please" she says.

I stomp my foot.

"Please!" she says.

"Fine, fine, fine!" I yell. "No changing!"

"Okay, let's go now" she says.

I put on a good shirt and pants.

Me and my sister start to walk to the building to where they are going to send people to...to...to die!

Once there, a girl gets picked.

"Saun Razan!" the lady says.

Oh no! He will die!

"I volunteer!" I yell. I don't want to die, so I'll volunteer for myself. Not as dumb as you thought, huh?

I walk up on stage and smile, waving at my sister. She is crying, why?

AN. Saun was really hard to portray since he isn't stable. The scare drove him insane and I'm not sure if this is how they think, but this is how the author described him so...review!
