I'm SO sorry that it took me so long to write this next chapter. I had tons of homework and a bunch of papers to write. I hope you'll forgive me. Also, I'm going to get around to the second chapter of my SYOT. Sorry!
Next is District Six. The girl tribute from here… well, she's not OCD, but she likes everything exact and clean. She enjoys it when everything's on schedule. Enjoy!
Mishellie ~ 16 ~ District 6
6:00~ Alarm Rings
I stretch and sit up in bed. I place my feet on the ground. The Reaping dress I had laid out the night before is sitting at the foot of my bed. It's a beautiful v-neck dress that I matched with a gold headband and pair of flats that look great with my olive skin and dark hair. I get dressed and brush my hair exactly 20 times before I open my door and walk into the hall.
6:20~ Wake Bli
I enter my fraternal twin sister's room. Compared to my living quarters, her place is a complete pigsty. Dodging piles of dirty clothes, I come to her bed. Bli's slim figure moves slightly as she snores. Her messy light brown curls cover her face.
"Bli," I shake her shoulder, "Bli… its Reaping Day. Wake up."
"Five more minutes…"
"Bli, last time we let you sleep for five more minutes, you slept till lunch."
Suddenly, her head shoots up, "Lunch? Where?"
I smirk, "Glad to see you're up. Get dressed. The Reaping's today."

7:15~ Breakfast
Bli comes marching down the stairs, wearing a black and blue dress. Her hair is cleaned and falls down her back in chocolate color locks. She's yawning as she helps herself to five pancakes. I turn on the television. All that's on is pre-Reaping news, mostly about the Capitol or past victors.
Our older brother, Pasquale, soon comes down too. He sits himself next to me, skipping breakfast, which is funny for him, since he usually eats like a horse.
"Aren't you going to eat?" I ask him.
He gestures to the pancakes, "Did you make these?"
"Yes."
"Then it's safer if I don't eat them. Don't wanna get food poisoning."
I glared at him, "I ought to strangle you."
He holds up his hands, "Hey, I survived the Hunger Games. I'm pretty sure that I can take my wimpy sister."
I smack him, "Shut up."
It's thanks to Pasquale that we have our nice house. Four years ago, he won the Hunger Games. He was 16, the same age I am now. I guess he's too skittish to eat anything today.
7:30~ 51st Hunger Games Replay
The newscasts and interviews change to an old Games rerun. The 51st Hunger Games. Oh, yeah… that was the year that District One girl won. No surprise there.
"God, that was a bloody year," Bli says. I see her pale next to me. I sit up straight and lean closer to the TV. I'm not a Games-fanatic or anything… just something about it interests me. When the blood starts to flow, Bli leaves. Pasquale soon follows her, but I can't tear myself away. Finally, the District One girl, Emerald, buries a spear in the District Two boy's heart and it's over.
9:00~ District One Reaping
Bli and Pasquale come back downstairs for the Reapings.
A medium-height, stunning blonde quickly volunteers. She introduces herself as "Ruby Rowan". I snort at the name, "District One and their ridiculous names."
"Her sister won the Reaping you just watched," Pasquale says.
I think back to a couple of minutes ago, "Yeah, your right."
Practically their whole family has won the Games. It's probably a tradition or something. The boy is super tall and smirks at Ruby as they shake hands. I can't tell if they know each other or not.
10:00~ District Two Reaping
I leap up to go to the bathroom and miss the first half of the Reaping. When I come back, a young boy is walking towards the stage. He looks so small and I'm sure he'll go early. He looks like he's not ready to accept his fate.
11:00~ District Three Reaping
A girl with a funny name is called up. I'm immediately jealous of her looks and the boy who volunteers after her (who is adorable!) takes obvious interest in her. She gets teary-eyed and doesn't look at him.
12:00~ District Four Reaping
A sinister pair is chosen: A tall, tan, muscular boy and a small, sly, clever-looking girl.
1:00~ District Five Reaping
The girl, Carlee, faints before she reaches the stage. The three of us have to hurry to the square, so we miss the boy.

2:45~ The 'Lottery' Part of the Reaping
"And our female tribute is…"
Our escort's cheeriness is contagious and I almost feel happy too. Almost.
"Mishellie Newton?"
What? I try to walk calmly towards the stage, but my legs are shaking so bad, I almost fall.
Okay, Shellie, take deep breaths, I mount the stage, calm down and think of a plan… okay, number one, how are you going to kill these people…?
Yay! Another finished chapter! I know it's kind of rushed, but I hope you liked it anyway.
