District Nine-Claire's POV
Ugh! It's that annoying bird! It flew too close for comfort next to my face, and when I tried to swat it down, it just landed on my head. Sighing, I gave up to find a hot pink frock folded neatly on my bed. I took it and had an idea. I suddenly swung the frock over my head, successfully scaring the little canary away. Do you know why there's a bird in my room? Well, the fact is, I was a bird watcher. And I took bread every day to attract them and watch the colorful little things. Too bad birds got so familiar with me they started to play and tease me like a fellow bird. This was the result.
I got dressed, did the morning stuff, and went outside with my mother to attend the reaping.
Bill's POV
What a day! By the time the reaping started, I was exhausted. Why?
1. Woken by a screaming mother telling me to kill a molecular spider.
2. Forced into an overlarge black suit and a revolting tie.
3. Bombarded by angry bees as soon as I was out.
4. Little kids throwing mud at me. I had a grimy face and mud on my pants.
5. Finally chased by Mother screeching me to hurry up and get to the reaping.
That's it. My most elaborate bad morning. And now, I snapped out of Dream Land and into reality.
"Claire Kuchingko!"
I almost gagged. She was a good friend of mine. I didn't think she would be called.
Now she's dead for sure. No! Wait! Don't lose hope yet…
"Bill Bernabe!"
What? Now me? I stiffly and slowly walked up the stage, pushed by many people.
I looked at Claire and her eyes reflected a deep sadness. Then a little chaffinch landed on her head. She scowled and I tried not to laugh, knowing it wasn't appropriate at this time.
"Bill and Claire of District Nine!" cackled the hysterical woman.
