Aatami Jumpester POV District 5
I woke up late as usual. I ran downstairs in time to see my oldest brother Talmage shove down the last waffle. My mom looked at me with pity eyes and shrugged. I nodded, annoyed, and went upstairs to get ready.
…
I put on my white shirt that had a big yellow stain on it.
"Of course." I said. I had the worst luck possible. With my luck I'll be tribute. I grabbed a pair of jeans and put them on. I grabbed a golden watch that will be token (since I all ready decided I was going to be tribute).
I went downstairs and sat on the coach waiting for the rest of my family to get ready. It was then I realized the house was to quiet. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was fifteen minutes past noon. We should have already gotten there twenty minutes ago. I ran through the whole house to only realize they left without me.
…
I got there just in time to here the last three words of the mayor's speech. I was breathing to hard to here him introduce the escort but she said her name so loud it was hard to miss.
"Hello everyone I'm Biannca!" she practically screeched. She skipped over to the girls bowl.
"Briyna Pham!" she shouted. Thirty seconds went by then someone started screaming hysterically.
"I volunteer! I volunteer! I volunteer!"
The girl came out of the fourteen year old section but she looked like she belonged in the sixteen year old section. She introduced herself as Altheny Pham.
The escort then went to the boys bowl. I chanted along with her in my head.
"Aatami Jumpester!" I walked up on the stage knowing no one will volunteer for me.
…
My family filed in and hugged me. We sat there for a minute or two while mom cried, then dad said that they were busy and that they had to go. Then they filed out. I looked down at my watch.
Huh. I never thought that they would've stayed a whole two minutes.
Author's note: his is short because I created him and he is going to die in the bloodbath.
