District Seven Reapings
Willam Rodes
The morning light pours in from my open bedroom window, a sweet autumn breeze following, bringing the absolutely amazing scent of cinnamon tumbling into my room, filling it with the smell of a bakery. I inhale as much as I can, and keep my eyes closed. Submerged in perfect darkness.
"Will get up!" I hear Dad shout from the kitchen.
My eyes snap open and I tumble out of bed, today was the worst day and the 4th anniversary of when the government killed my brother. Nick, my little brother, is still sleeping and I let him, no need to disturb.
As I randomly pull on a shirt and a bird sings outside, the scent of breakfast dances into my room, playing with my nose.
As I come into the small, kitchen/dinning room, I see Mom, her eyes are puffy red and I can tell she's been crying. I kiss her on the cheek, I know how hard it is to remember Dillon today.
"Morning son," Dad grunts and tosses me some toast, the little burnt square hurls through the air, I catch it and smile.
"Thanks Dad, see you guys there!" I say and run out the door, I told Thom I'd meet him there, and plus, I know Kale will be there, Kale is the prettiest girl in the school, she makes every guy flip out, and she's always early.
Soon I'm in the town square, saying hi to whoever smiles and waves at me.
"Will!" Thom shouts and I rush over to him, a sloppy grin on my face.
"Do you see Kale anywhere?" I ask in a hushed tone, searching for her long brown hair.
"I saw her close to Derik Parker, you should check it out," Thom whispers pointing to them.
Kale is standing there, biting her pink lips, while Derik, the ultimate player, stands beside her, talking about something she probably doesn't care about.
Some freak show lady takes the stage, but I'm a little to distracted staring at Kale, the way her hair tumbles down her back and parts around her heart shaped face.
"Will, will, it's you," Thom hisses, his eyes wide.
"W-what?" I stutter, he has to be kidding.
"I'm not kidding, man they just called you!" he says, I look to see my mom sobbing and Nick trying to hold her hand. Oh god it's me. I run up to the stage and grab the mic out of freakazoid's hand and stare off to my family.
"I'm gonna win for you!" I shout, then feel the tears prickle in the corners of my eyes.
BeeBee Gallagher
I open my eyes to see Lily staring right at me, she's a corgie, or at least I think, little and fat, that's all I really know. I gather her little body up in my arms and pull myself out of bed. Sadly I'm a morning person and a night owl, so I don't get much sleep at all, I feel the weight of last nights talking on the phone fall down on me.
"Bee you better be up!" Dad shouts from downstairs.
"Okay Dad!"
I grab the dress that I already laid out on my couch, I love this one, light blue, soft and short, the perfect dress. I pull it on, then check myself in the mirror, dab some light blush on and smear on my lipgloss, there perfect.
Lily and I walk down the spiral staircase, it's not like I'm excited for the reapings, I guess I'm just happy to get them over with.
"Toast!" Dad says with a laugh as a piece of bread comes hurling at me, it hits me between the eyes, I giggle and sweep it up off the floor before Lily eats it.
I shove it in my mouth, some of my lipgloss coming off with it, I gag a little but swallow.
"I'll meet you there honey," Dad says as he settles down for his coffee, I smile and hook on the brown leather leash I bought for Lily three days ago, and begin my way out the door.
I guess we're a richer family, not to brag or anything, I like it this way, and I'm not a snob or anything, so it doesn't matter, right? As I walk through the neighborhood, I hear constant, "Hey Bee!" or "Looking good!". To tell you the truth I like the attention, but sometimes people get a little carried away with what they say, if you know what I mean.
Soon, Lily and I are at the town square, no one brings their dogs, but I like to, even though everyone is giving me weird stares like I'm some crazy dog lady.
I'm lost in a conversation with Kelsie soon, giggling and quickly the memory of being at the reaping fades away, along with the thought of being picked.
"BeeBee Gallagher!"
I look up, that's me... Wait, this is impossible, it CANNOT be me, I...
Kelsie takes Lily's leash and shoves me a little closer towards the stage, I gulp, and take my place next to the guy standing up there, who isn't too bad looking. I wasn't gonna die though, I'd make sure of it.
