Kassandra "Kassie" Baker

"Wake up honey, it's time to get ready," My mother called out to me. I climbed out of bed, washed my face and brushed my teeth. Today I had to look extra beautiful, as hard as that is, I managed it. Reaping Day was today and I was not going to the Capitol looking average. I pulled on a white dress and slipped on my white flats to match. When I reached the kitchen table my mother let out a gasp.

"Kassie, you look amazing,"

"Yeah," Agreed my sister, "You took long enough in the bathroom though."

"Let's finish eating and then we can head down to the square early," I told them.

We waited around for a little bit, then made our way down to the square. My friends, Kara, Kevin and Gigi were already there. Kara and Kevin were dating, so while they were off in their own little world I decided to talk to Gigi till the Reaping began.

"The two of them are so gross, honestly they should go somewhere else to do that," Gigi said throwing a disgusted look in Kevin and Kara's way.

"I know, it's almost as if they are glued together or something," I replied.

Soon we made our way up the stairs and onto the stage. Kara separated from us, going straight to the 17-year-old section. We waited until our escort Ellie Winters, took the stage. The Reaping was about to begin and I knew what I had to do.

Nick Harter

"You would totally win, you should really volunteer," Buddy rambled on and on about how great I was until the mayor silenced the town. We listened to the history of Panem and how the Hunger Games came to be. Boring.

Ellie stood at the front of the stage and called of the female tribute's name. Once the girl got to the stage, another one rushed up and took her place.

"And what's your name?" Ellie asked the girl.

"Kassandra Baker," She stated. She couldn't even hide the excitement from her voice if she tried.

"Alrighty, let's get started on the males then," Ellie shouted to District 1.

I almost half expected my name to get drawn, but when the guy made his way up to the stage I knew there was no mistake. Why wasn't mine name drawn. I should be this year's tribute; I would totally win, just like Buddy said. When Ellie asked for volunteers I immediately knew what I would do.

"I volunteer," My voice rang out into the crowd. "Nick Harter," I told her before she could ask my name.

She smiled at me and then yelled, "Kassandra Baker and Nick Harter: District 1's tributes.

I shook Kassandra's hand, my green eyes meeting her blue eyes. We both knew that we would probably be allies, but the question was who would be killed first.

Hey guys!

Hope your enjoying the reapings, I think I can get District 3 done by tonight. I thought I'd let you know how you were points wise, so here's an update on that. Sorry if this one is a little short, I'll try and make them a bit longer. Also tell me if I didn't give you enough points. You start getting points for reviewing at chapter 6.
