"Time to go to sleep Brad, C'mon the Reaping is tomorrow". "OK Mum, have my leather clothes ready?"."yes Dear, come on get to bed it's late". "Ok Mum".
"Sinead you need to get some sleep, the reaping is tomorrow". "Mum don't worry, it's not like I'm going to get chosen". "Don't be so sure that's what your brother said 3 years ago and do you remember what happened to him". "Ok Mum I'm going to bed".
Brad woke At 7:00am,poured a hot bath and soaked in it for the next hour and a half. By the time he was out, dried and at the front door ready to leave the time was already 11:00am. Brad said "good bye Mum I'll see you after the reaping". And then he ran off to the town square,when he got there, there was a pretty long line, it took Brad 10 minutes before he got to the front of the line. When Brad was at the front of the line the guard asked for his arm and he injected it with a tracker. Brad thinks 'yay just 2 more years before I don't have to be injected with these trackers' as he walks towards the 16 year old boys slot.
Sinead woke at 5:30 screaming from her nightmare. She dreamed that she would be chosen to represent her district as their girl tribute. Sinead's Mum comes running in and starts saying "it will be alright Sinead you won't get picked and you know that". Sinead replies "but what if i do Mum?" Sineads Mum replies "you won't dear there are over 2,000 girls and anyway someone would volunteer for you like every other year". Sinead replies "but what if I get picked and no one volunteers for me". Sineads Mum replies"then you will get sent to the games, but, you know that won't happen". Sinead replies "I know but I'm just really scared". Sineads Mum replies "it's ok just go have a nice long shower and try to relax ok?". Sinead replies "Ok Mum".
Then Sinead leaves to the shower when she get's there she starts to undress herself and turn the setting to relax and bath and then she hopped in and sat down and curled herself up into a protective ball. Sinead stayed liked that until 8:00am, and then her Mum comes and tells her that it is breakfast time. Then Sinead stood up and set the shower to blow dry, after she was dry she went into her room and dressed herself in her favourite shirt and skirt. Her shirt was pink with whit stripes from the top of her right shoulder down to the bottom of the left on her shirt. and her skirt was a plain purple and to match it she put on purple lipstick and to match her shirt she put some pink mascara on, after that she went down into the dining area and by that time it was 8:45am. Then her Mum said "come on darling time to eat your breakfast". Sinead replied "Ok Mum, what is for breakfast?". Sinead's Mum replied "Toast with butter and honey". Then Sinead ate her breakfast and said that she would see her after the reaping and Sineads Mum said "Wheres my good bye?". then Sinead came back in and gave her Mum a kiss and looked at the time and it was 11:45am and Sinead said "got to go Mum bye". as she rushed out the front door and towards the town square. When she got there ther guard asked for her arm and injected it with a tracker, just incase she tried to run away if she got picked. Then she went and lined up with the 16 year old girls waiting for Rochelle Inwood to walk on stage.
When Rochelle Inwood walked on stage she went over to the microphone and said "Hello,Hello,Hello and welcome to District 2's reaping for the 99th Annual Hunger Games. and now lets watch the movie of the war and rise of the capitol and the generosity that the let all the other people into 13 districts and then the rebellion against the capitol and the destruction of district 13".and then the video plays and it is the same that it has been for the last 99 the video has finished Rochelle says "oh I just love that, don't you to". then she said "And as always ladies first" and then she walks over to the girls bowl and picks out a slip and walks back to the front and says "Sinead Anderson" and then she says "where are you lovely". And Sineads face goes pale as she slowly walks towards the stage with the guards surrounding her to make sure that she doesn't try to run away. As she climbs the steps Rochelle says "come on darling they can't wait to see you in the capitol". When Sinead has climbed the steps she turns around to face all the kids of district 2. Then Rochelle said "And now for the boys". Then she walks over the boys bowl and picks out a slip and walks back to the microphone and says "Brad Kivell". Brad's face goes bright red with embarrassment as everyone from district 1 stared at him as he walked towards the stage and slowly climbed the stairs to the top. Then Rochelle said "Put your hands together for district 2's tributes and may the odds be ever in your favour". And everyone claps wildly and whistles to the tributes of district 2.
Sinead and Brad get lead to the hall of district 2, they get almost thrown into the elevator and travel to the top floor and walk to the rooms were they are allowed to say goodbye to family and friends before they travel to the Capitol.
Sinead's Mum came and sobbing and said "you have to try to win, it's your only chance to be able to see me again". and as she is being dragged out she says "Win it for your father he can see you from heaven, make us proud".
Brad's Mum and Dad came in and his Dad said Come on Brad you need to win this. remember what i have taught you, you know how to grapple and punch properly, so use it to win and to bring pride to your district. Please".
Sinead and Brad get lead to the train and they hop in and look around and think that its barely even better than what they get at home, because they thought is like paradise in here but they see that its not. then they get told by Rochelle that they need to go and try to get some sleep because the more sleep that they can get the better.
