Prologue
It was a warm summer day the reaping day actually, I didn't know what to do. should I be worried for myself or should I be worried for all the younger children that are twelve that are going to be put in the reaping for the first time. I woke up that morning very anxious about what was going to happen that day, I'm pretty sure that everyone here in district 4 will be doing the usual. ( fishing just incase you didn't know.)
After awhile of worrying it got even worse, I kept thinking to myself how would I make It through the Hunger Games. Later that day after helping my mom cook food for families who aren't able to for themselves. I went to the pond to go fishing for my mom and I. Then I heard an announcement from the mayors house "Attention. Attention, everyone must report to the middle of town for the reaping ceremony, I repeat everyone must report to the middle of town for the reaping ceremony." one of the peacekeepers said. I was surprised that the mayor didn't announce that, but oh well I can't control that.
As soon as the announcement finished I took off sprinting to my house to drop off the fish I managed to find for myself and my mom. When I scowled at me when I got home because I wasn't ready (by ready I mean dressed up In some kind of crappy outfit that I'll never wear again.) "I've laid out your outfit for the reaping. It's on your bed." said mother. I walked upstairs to see which kind of outfit it will be this year. Oh I was right the dress I saw was the ugliest thing ever. It was a brown floral print dress with bright blue lace around the edge of the dress. " Tress have you gotten ready yet it's time to go" yelled my mother from down stairs. Once I got downstairs I had a quick snack of crackers and cream cheese.
When my mom and I were walking to town we saw our district rep Velvet Elphinsine. " How come whenever Velvet comes here she has peacekeepers with her?" I asked mom. " So she won't get hurt." replies mom.
