Hey guys it's time for District 8 reapings. Btw I write theses during school. So... that's why they are bad. :D
Wolfgang Amadeus, 16, M
I studied the music sheet in front of me, I was preparing for a solo in the spring concert. I was in the District 8 Harmonic Orchestra, as well as my best friend Ludwig. We both played violins. My grandmother taught me when I was younger, before she was killed by a jealous fan.
I picked up my violin and bow, then started playing. I closed my eyes, for I had memorized the notes for my solo. I continued playing the song, until I had finished it. I smiled, music had always calmed me, something that I could always go to.
I started to play the song again, and another violin joined in. I stopped playing and looked around until my eyes landed on a black haired tall boy, a familiar one too.
I grinned. "Hey Ludwig."
He smirked back. "Hey Wolfgang, just wanted to join in."
"So wanna play the song again?" I asked him, he nodded.
He sat next to me and placed his violin on his shoulder. He pulled out his own music sheet.
"Ready?" I smiled.
"You bet."
We started playing. The music rang harmonically, throughout the the empty building where the orchestra played.
We played for quite a while, until Ludwig noticed that it was time for the reapings. We carefully put our violins away and ran to my house, which was closer, and put them on my bed.
Then we ran to the reapings, we arrive right on time.
I straighten my messy brown hair, making sure it was out if my brown eyes. I was wearing nice jeans, and a simple t-shirt. Well at least it looks nice. I thought as the escort walked onto the stage.
"Hey guys, it's reaping time." Said the youngest of the escorts, Jayson. His blonde hair was gelled up into spikes. His dark brown eyes gazed over the crowd of those able to be reaped. He smiled at us.
"Let's see who gets to spend some time in the Capitol, with us lovely capitalites." (People of the Capitol)
He walked between the bowls and then decided to start with the guys. He calmly walked over to the male bowl and put his hand in,meh mixed up the slips.
I watched as he pulled a slip out and cleared his throat.
"Wolfgang Amadeus."
Oh no... Was the only thought that came to mind. I stared numbly ahead, shocked, then started walking up the stage. I stopped next to Jayson and stared at the clouds. ... I'm going to be in the hunger games. My violin... Ludwig.. My mom... Many thoughts ran through my head, many of them bad, and terrible.
Lozenge Vogue, 13, F
I studied the many different fabrics on my dress. From the red velvet along the hem, to the rainbow colored cotton on my left sleeve. I had made this dress, out of scraps from a nearby fabric factory. It fit well to my short body, my light brown hair was up out of my dark brown eyes. I gripped my walking stick, which I needed to walk, since the accident. It happened when I was eight, I was operating a machine and was pulled in. Which caused me to lose most of my left leg and my ring and pinkie finger on my left hand.
I looked around and waved at Satin, who was in the 14 year old area. She waved back. Cotton, my other friend, was standing next to me. Then I looked at the stage. Jayson was standing at the female bowl. He looked at the crowd as he pulled out the slip of the unlucky female, who had to participate in the games.
"Lozenge Vogue."
I raised my eyebrows then burst out laughing. Pfft.. He did not just call me name, besides why would I have to pay for the crimes I was never associated with. Yeah.. He didn't just call my name.
I looked around. Everyone was looking at me. Oh. Shoot.. Maybe he did call my name, well I better get on the stage. I gripped my walking stick tighter and started walking to the stage.
When I finally made it Jayson looked at me and Wolfgang.
"Well, looks like Wolfgang Amadeus and Lozenge Vogue are this year's tributes."
He made us shake hands, Wolfgang's hand was shaking. I smiled at him.
Then we were marched into the justice building.
I sat comfortable on the cushioned cough in the room I was led to.
My mom and my older brother walked on.
"Lozenge!" She said tears on her cheeks.
She rushed forward and hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid to let me go.
"I'm so sorry dear." I hugged her back, for a long time, until she stepped back.
My older brother, Cambric, came forward.
"You can do it little sister. You are brilliant and smart."
He looked at me. "You can come home."
Then he allowed himself to be hugged. My mother joined in and we hugged for a moment, all of us, until the peacekeepers decided that they hated family hugs and made them leave.
The door opened again and Satin and Cotton came in.
"Lozenge!" They cried running for me.
Satin's usual cheerful face only held sadness. While Cotton looked excited and sad at the same time.
Satin spoke first. "Lozenge you better come home, we need you here in our friendship." I stood up and hugged her.
"I'll try my best Satin." She nodded and burst into another cloud of tears.
Cotton jumped excitedly.
"I hope you make it home Lozenge.." Then she smiled dreamily. "Wouldn't it be romantic if you fell in love with somebody in the games."
I laughed. Yep that's Cotton for you. She was a great romantic novel writer and loved writing one.
"I'll try Cotton, maybe it might happen."
She hugged me.
"We'll see you until you get back." They said giving me one last hug.
I nodded. If I get back.
