Grow Underwood, District 7
Why did I have to be reaped? I am from the lumber district, so you would think I would be handy with an ax, and therefore strong, but... I'm just good with the trees. I climb them, and tell people if they are safe to cut or not. I'm not strong. I'm weak...
I am good with edible plants, but what use will that be if some crazy killing machine comes up to me with a sword? I can't win the hunger games. I know that.
I contemplate this on the train as I try to fall asleep. That's another thing that I can't do, even in these ultra-cushy capitol beds. I have a strong desire to eat some of the fluff in it, but I know I won't. Lots of people make fun of me for that, that when I'm nervous I chew on furniture stuffing, but I can't help it. It's just... what I do.
Maybe I can score an alliance with someone? My district partner won't be much help, as she is only fifteen. Maybe one of the other tributes? But who would want to ally with me? I try to recall some of the people from the reapings I watched. The boy from 11 looked strong, but I doubt he would ally with me. Obviously 1, 2, and 4 won't want anything to do with me. Both from 3 looked like good candidates, but they looked like they would ally with each other. The boy from 6 probably won't ally with me... Oh, who am I kidding, no one would ally with me. I'm far too... weak.
Rin Trickson, District 7
I'm still trying to wipe the tears from my eyes from the reaping. I'm only 15, and I've been reaped? What kind of place does that to you? Well, obviously the capitol does. But... I might be able to win? I can handle an axe, but so can the careers. I could probably score some sponsors, if I do well in my interview, but I have a feeling my mentor won't be much help with preparing me for those.
Ok, no. There is no chance of me winning this. I doubt I'll get out of the bloodbath.
In fact, I doubt I'll make it into the arena!
I try to think positive, to think of my family. My brother, Sa, and my mom and dad. They are great, all of them, even Sa when he's really annoying me, and my mom and dad when they're pestering me to do my homework and my chores.
I'm going to really miss them when I'm dead.
Author's Note: ...And there is the legendary trio completed. Did I do a good job on Grover? I hope I did, because it would really suck if I got him wrong, considering he is a main source of comic relief. Also, I apologize for no updates. I had writer's block, which most of should know is a very serious disease.
