District 2.
Parker aimed and threw high into the air throwing her javelin straight through the center of the target. Her competitor threw, but it was a weak throw and bounced off.
"Parker Wins!" cried out her ex-girlfriend and current best friend, Lily Gordon. "Yeah, go home Marcus, she beat you bad," called out Parker's other best friend, Raven.
"Um, guys we should be getting home too, it's almost reaping time" whisper Bella Ralph, she was the sensible one in the friend group.
"Oh, my god, Bella, you are such a rule follower!" Said Raven.
"But you know she's right," said Lily, "ugh, fine, whatever, see you losers later," Raven said as she picked up her things and left.
"Bye parker, good luck! May the odds be ever in your favor!"
"Bye, Lily! Happy hunger games!" Parker shouted as she ran back to her house.
When she got back, her sister Dell was waiting for her, with a pretty, white dress.
"I'm sure that training or whatever you do is extremely important but, you're going to make us late, so you better get in this dress now."
"Do I have to? I mean what I'm wearing is fine."
"No, in the dress now," her mother said.
"Mom, you know I hate wearing dresses,"
"Parker I don't want to hear it, you already have made us late, and as one of the wealthier families in the district, it is our duty to arrive on time and presentable. Since we won't be on time, we should certainly be presentable."
"Ugh, fine, let me just splatter some black paint on ti first,"
"Parker!"
She called over her shoulder "I'm kidding!"
As the Hensleys walked to the reaping, they passed a group of dirty boys arguing about something.
"Tommy, do you think you can beat him?"
"Beat him? Pfft, easy,"
"He's 6ft 1!"
"And 200 pounds!"
"He'll crush you like a bug!"
"I'm 5ft 7 and 160 pounds, plus I won that fight against Angela Furberry in middle school. This guy will be a piece of cake."
"Hey what's happening? Andre is about to crush Tommy McPhearson like a bug!"
"Hey everyone Tommy McPhearson is about to be crushed like a bug!"
Now there was a big crowd.
"Fight!Fight!Fight!"
Andre growled.
Tommy kept up his front.
And then, "Tommy McPhearson! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Um, Mama, I was just having a friendly conversation with uh, Andre over here,"
Andre growls again,
"Hey , Tommy's about to be crushed Like a bug by Andre!"
"Oh, was he now?"
"No, mama, I was about to crush Andre like a bug!"
"Well nobody is crushing anybody today we're late to the reaping, let's go."
She grabs him by the ear and drags him towards the reaping.
As the Reaping begins District 2 Escort walks onstage, a man with a blue powdered wig, and gives the whole rundown, the video, how the reaping works and he finishes with "happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favor!"
"I will start by asking for nominations for the female tribute."
"I nominate Chole Schanldler."
"Mary Smith."
"Selena Russo"
"Alicia Zucker"
"I nominate Parker Hensley"
The audience seemed to like this choice simply by the fact that she was the best javelin thrower they had, she could win the games for sure.
"All right we seem to have a winner, may Parker Hensley please come up on stage."
She did as she was told quite happily.
"Now for the young men."
"I nominate George Elephont"
"Chase Vanderwoodsen"
"David Russo."
"Davis Russo"
"Clark Woodsen"
"Hey! Tommy McPhearson should go, let's see if he's half what he claims to be."
"Yeah!"
"I'm sorry sir, there has to be an official nomination."
"Fine, I nominate Tommy McPhearson."
"That's not how it works, but it seems like we have a winner, can Tommy McPhearson please come to the stage."
"Here are our 25th hunger game tributes Parker Hensley, and Tommy McPhearson."
