"Lydia." My sister shakes my shoulder. "Dad told me to wake you up early so you can get ready, so you can be there early to volunteer." Oh yeah I'm volunteering, but only to make my Dad happy so maybe Paige won't have to risk dying.
"I'm up Paige, go tell Dad I'm up and getting ready."
"Okay." And with that she skipped out of my room. I put on my reaping dress, put up my hair and went downstairs for breakfast.
"You are volunteering this year right Lydia?" My father's voice question from the table
"Yes, Dad wouldn't want all that money to go to waste now would we?"
"That's my girl." He smiled and patted me on the back as he left.
I wonder what life would be like if there weren't so many victors in my family, if my father wasn't determined to have a victor, if I volunteered because I wanted too, not because I wanted to prevent my sister from having to volunteer.

"You, short kid with the blonde hair"
"Me?"
"Yes, you" Some of these people here are such idiots.
"Go get the academy's medal of approval from Lukas's room."
"But what-"
"He won't be in there you know he eats until nine, it's only eight fifteen you have time now GO." Apparently I scared him enough he ran away at top speed. I can't believe my parents sent me to this training school where we eat, live and breathe training. Fortunately, today is reaping day and I've trained enough so I can volunteer and get out of this place.

I don't even know who the girl tribute was, all I know is I am now the girl tribute for district two and some kid who is known district-wide for being a jerk is the guy, great I have to deal with him until the games.

What's your name son? The cheesey looking escort asks. "Matthew Roderik, I will win these games and that is a fact"
"Confidence exactly what we need in a tribute!" Escorts are always so annoying, but at least I am finally free of that bording school I will no longer have to be forced to train at that school I will have a life of fun and leisure, because I will become a victor.
