GALE

It was that time again. The time that everyone feared. The reaping had arrived.

On this day, Effie Trinket, a lady from the Capitol came to our district, district 12 and chose some kids who were below 18 to take part in The Hunger Games. The hunger games was every family's nightmare. Almost every family's. There were some families that prepared their children for this who then, volunteered. They were the ones who usually won. District 12 had only had one victor yet. Haymitch. I can't say much about him as I don't know much. He is a very mysterious man.

Anyways, back to today, we are currently standing in rows of boys and girls waiting for Capitol's praise to end. This is my last year here. If I don't get selected this time (which I hopefully won't), I will never have my name in the box for this again.

I am well aware of the fear that the Everdeen family is facing. The Everdeen family is much like my own. My best friend, Katniss is a part of them. This is the first year her younger sister, Primrose (Prim for short) has her name in the box. Even though I'm well aware of them, my eyes are focused on my one true love. The one I have dreamt of my whole life...

Peeta Mellark.
