Yuri Chou

I stumble out of bed. It's the day of the reaping so I should try to sleep in, but who could sleep in on the worst day of days? I quietly get dressed into my dress and ballet shoes. Everyone's already awake moving around the house. My mom had made me districts 3 bite-sized square-rolls. I eat quickly then it's time for the reaping.

Mia, Ishi, and Rin meet me at the reaping. Our mayor gives us the speech and introduces our escort Zinnia Valier who looks annoyed that she couldn't introduce herself. Then before our mayor can say a word Zinnia quickly introduces Alexander Knight the mentor who gives us a hollow look.

Not very cheerful like most mentors. "Llllaaaaddddiiiieeeessss first." Zinnia hollers. Mia and me exchange a smile and a giggle. Zinnia is one cheerful escort, too cheerful maybe. She pulled the name out. "Yuri Chou please come up here." Zinnia demanded. Cheerful and demanding don't go together but Zinnia doesn't seem to care. I walk up there my face blank. I felt something wet on my cheek. A teardrop.

Mom is crying and my older brother looks sad but my dad, I hate him, didn't even care. Sorry you got demoted dad but I got a scar so which is worse?

Christen Stillwell

Whoa. Our escort is too preppy. Cady frowns. She doesn't like when adults are preppy even though we're like adults ourselves. Zinnia was doing a little impatient dance as the girl tribute, Yuri Chou, slowly walked up.

Zinnia draws the boy's name out, "Christen Stillwell good job you got chosen for the 56th Hunger Games." Zinnia says. Jeez she makes it sound like an achievement. "Come on kid we don't have time here!" Zinnia snaps. I finally walk up.

Yuri and me turn to each other and shake hands. I gave everyone a smile then turn to Yuri again. "Hope you make it past the first day." I mutter. Yuri nods, "You too." I turn to look at my family they look sad and surprised.

We go into the justice building. "Ha ha you got reaped." My older brother taunted. I growl. My mom pushes him out. "Good luck." She says then leaves. Cady comes and gives me a kiss and runs out. Too sad probably

Yuri Chou

My family, but my dad, wishes me luck. They look sad as they walk away. Mom keeps on looking behind her shoulder as she walks away. "Good luck sweetie." I hear my dad mumble and leave. He actually wished me good luck! I, Yuri Chou, am going to win the 56th Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in my favor.

Thank you all for reviewing your awesome! I'm so happy this is going well. I promise to update as often as I can. Promise.
