District 8 Reapings

Fallon

The Games are going to start today. Well, at least the Reapings are starting. It's the beginning of the end for 24 unlucky kids who are going to be thrown into these disasterous, dangerous, and just plain scary Games. And I am just hoping I'm not one of them so I can still pretect my family. And my friends. Everyone I knew. They need me, so why would I do anything different than protect them? What's the meaning of these Games anyway? Death upon death? Yeah, taht sounds fun, right? Well, away from my secret worries, I'm walking down the stairs now, my voice humming a slow melody that my sister had always loved. Lulie. Oh, thank you everyone for the fact that she is just 11. I couldn't stand seeing her go into the Games. Who would help her? What would I do to help her at all? I couldn't. That would be almost as bad as me going into the Games myself. I took in a deep breath before walking into the kitchen.

"Happy Hunger Games. My only hope is that the odds are totally in our favor. So...when do we have to head out to the reapings?" I said, pushing a bit of my honey blonde hair out of my eyes(green, my mom says, like a tree deep in the forest). My family was all already sitting around our table and I smiled as I sat down as well.

"We were just waiting for you, so as soon as we are all fed then we can head out to the Reapings," My dad said. My mom nodded, a worried look on her face. Lulie was sitting by them with a smile other face, like she usually did. I grinned at them as I sat down. I was wearing jeans and a dark green t-shirt (one the color of my eyes) and my shoes were on my feet, and completely untied.
I sat down at the table and tied my shoes before trying to adopt an entirely fake nervous look.

"Ready to head to our doom?" I asked with a grin. I walked out of the house, followed by my family. I walked over to the section of seventeen-year-olds and stood there, waiting for Kintalee to take the stage. She walked on with a huge grin on her face, and I saw everyone around me sucking in nervous breaths that may have been their last in their home.

I walked through the streeets of District 8, the place taht I called home. Home of losers, idiots, and weak who can't even try to stand a chance in the Games. I pushed my way through my 'family' (who were really just a gang of my friends) and walked out onto the streets. The Reapings were today. And I was ready to see what weaklings would be put into the Games to lose this year. Hopefully, if I was chosen, it wasn't with a group of idiots. Then again, everyone in the Games are always idiots. I started to walk down the streets and then slipped into the pack of seventeen-year-olds standing, waiting for the Games to start. Oh, and I was ready. I wanted these Games to start, and I wanted them to be good. I looked around and saw a bunch of idiots. Wonderful. We have no chance of winning, as usual.

I stood there until Effie came up and gave her boring speech that she always gave. Too stupid to think of a new one? I grinned evilly at my thoughts and shoved my hands into my pockets.
Apparently, she was calling the girl's first. And then name she said...it was mine. I grinned as I pushed through the crowd and onto the stage, a smile on my face the entire time.

Fallon

"Hello District 8, and welcome to the fifty-fourth annual Hunger Games!" She started, and then went on with basically the same speech that she did every year. Her speech about how this was an honor to be put into the Games and an amazing tradition of Panem. I just stood there, waiting for the names to be called.

"Ladies first, I suppose?" She asked with a grin on her face. I'd rather have the guys go first so we can just get it over with, but I suppose ladies first is always the best way to go. She pulled a slip of paper out of the ball and I looked around. "And, District 8's female tribute this year is...Abeline Madsen!" she exclaimed, smiling at us. A tall girl with dark brown hair and what looked like yellow eyes walked out of the seventeen-year-old section and onto stage. I don't know how to describe the look on her face, but she was grinning wickedly. If she wanted to go into the games so bad why didn't she ever volunteer and save someone's life?

Effie then smiled as she said, "Now for the boy, I suppose. Well...the male tribute for District 8 is...Fallon Willburn!" I started to walk up and then froze in my tracks. I was just chosen for the Games. I was now about to walk to my death. I stared at the stage before bravely walking up the rest of the way. I tried to clear my face, but what I was really thinking was, Oh no, Lulie.

Effie smiled as we did the cerimonial handshake. "Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds ever be in your favor."

Abeline

Then she called up the boy, a weakling, I could tell from the look in his foresty eyes. I just rolled my golden eyes and listened to her as I reluctantly shook his hands.

"Blah, blah, blah. And may you be the one to win." Or at least that was what I heard.

Like it? Love it? :( Hate it? :'( Please don't hate. But still review!
