Thank you for the D2 boy tribute. Here is his POV; it's going to be shorter than the rest of them.
Gabriel Taylor's POV
I look out of my window and see a tree in my way, in that tree I see Aiden, flirting with Brooke. I turn away disgusted and decide to head for the reaping. I know Aiden's going to volunteer and I hope he does. Then maybe Brooklyn would notice me if he didn't come home. I know it's not right to think about it like that but I maybe have kind of liked her since I first met her at the academy.
"Have a nice reaping" My dad calls as I'm walking out the door.
"See you there in a couple of minutes" Lucas smiles, he's 20 but always shows up for the reaping. He's told me to volunteer this year but I don't know if I should.
Down at the reaping I find a place in the sea of boy's heads. A little to the left Aiden is smirking at the thought of going into the Hunger Games. To my right in the girls section I see Brooke standing confidently in a beautiful silvery dress. I recognize the expression on her face; I've seen it every year, on all the faces of the people that have volunteered. My heart rate seems to go into turbo drive as Aurora, our escort, calls the girls name.
"Alice Buntee!" but is immediately greeted by an menacing
"I volunteer" The voice belongs to none other but Brooke. I feel my heart stop completely and look over to where she was standing and see no one there, I look towards the stage and there she is, looking beautiful with all of the lights shining on her.
"Now for the boys" Aurora smiles in an overly big pure white capitol smile.
"Spark Dee" I have to make a split second decision to volunteer or not. But I can't let Brooke going in there with some blood-thirsty kid.
"I volunteer" I shout shakily. I get several odd glances in my direction but take a deep breath and walk foreword.
"What a surprise, we have a volunteer" Aurora says sarcastically. "What is your name?"
"Gabriel Taylor" I say but it sounds more like a question then a statement.
"Thank you, our district 2 tributes Brooklyn Tanner and Gabriel Taylor" People cheer and applaud but I just stare at Brooklyn who's staring at me, a look of pure bewilderment is written across her face as we shake hands and are leaded to the capitol building.
I told you it was going to be short, the next one will either be up today or in a week, I'm going to vacation.
