Okay, so I'm bored at the moment, so I'm continuing the story. I might upload the other reaping chapter today as well, as I'm busy this weekend.

Rory's POV
District 8
I woke up in my house, snuggled next to my black lab, Bella.
"Hey girl," I say, sitting up in bed. I'm 12 now, so I'm officially at the worst part of my life. I'm officially able to be reaped. My brother was killed three years ago, and it ripped my family apart. I can't get reaped. My dad disappeared after my brother died, leaving me, my mom, and my little sister alone. On top of that soon after my dad left, she found out she was pregnant with twins. I've been basically caring for my little siblings because my mom has three jobs. You are probably thinking 'hey, you live in district 8. Your life is great.' You are wrong. Things don't get great until you reach district 6. I mean 1 and 2 are the best. 3 and 4 are up there. 5, 6, and 7 are pretty good 8 and 9 are okay, and 10, 11, and 12 are crap. My life could be better, I'm just glad it's not worse. The houses here are decent, but they are usually just one floor. I get up, and head to my closet to pick out my reaping outfit. I head into the bathroom and turn on my shower. We actually have showers here. It's quite nice. I head to my sister's room to wake her up. I shake her softly until she wakes up.
"Good morning, Rory," she says. She's 9 now, and it's almost her turn to be put in.
"Good morning, Lily," I say, "Time to get up."
"What if it's you?" she asks.
"It won't be. My name is only in once," I say, "now, go take a shower while I get the twins up." She does as I say. On the inside, I'm terrified. It could easily be me. I don't think Lily can take over my job yet. She's great with the twins, but she's young. I go into the twins' room, and Wake Conner and Emily. I set Conner on the floor on his feet and place Lily and my hip. I take Conner's hand and lead him to the kitchen. I set Emily down in her high chair, and then put Conner in his. I make breakfast, and then give them breakfast. At this point, Lily had joined us.
After breakfast, I washed the twins up. Mom got home just in time to take us to the reaping place. She placed Emily on her hip, and I took Conner as we walked. Lily walked between us. When we got there, I set Conner down and gave him, Emily, and Lily a hug before I went to the front of our section after registering. Our Capital Official strutted onto the stage and gave the presentation. He then reached into the girls' bowl, and pulled out a name. "Rachel Berry." I watched as another 12 year old girl walked up onto the stage. I felt so bad for her family. He strutted across the stage to the boys' bowl. I was really worried, but I thought it was pointless until he called out, "Rory Flannigan." I stare at the stage in shock. He urges me to come forward, and peacekeepers shuttle me up to the stage. I shake Rachel's hand, and then I scan the crowd for my family. I'm going to miss them.
Tina's POV
District 7
I stood in my spot in shock. They had just called my name. The crowd cleared a path to the front, but my feet felt like stone. I may be just an orphaned girl, but I was still important. I slowly walked forward, scared about my fate. When I made it to the stage, I shook the hand of Fern, our Official from the District. She walked to the guys' bowl, her high heels clicking on the metal stage. She reached into the bowl and pulled out a name. "Finn Hudson." She called out. I gasped. Out of all the names in the bowl, my best friend had to get picked. I don't get it. He strutted up to the stage, his head held high. He knew he had to act brave for me, and once he walked up to the stage, he hugged me.
"I take it you two know each other," Fern said. Finn nodded.
"We are best friends," I say.
"Well, that's tough," she said.
"Yeah," Finn said, "we'll get through it."
"Well, crowd dismissed," Fern said. Our families shuffled forward to say good bye. We got to spend about 5 minutes with them before we were shuffled into the building. There we met our mentor, Emma. She was a red headed woman of about 30, and the only reason she won the games is that nobody could find her, and the second to last person just gave up and killed himself. Emma doesn't really say much, besides what she needs to say.
"Hello," we say.
"Hi," Emma says, "I'm going to try to help you, but you have to use your instincts to survive. They are inside you; you just need to tap into them. Anyways, the train leaves in an hour, so I suggest you head there, because it takes about 45 minutes to pass through security. I'll meet you there.
Mike's POV
District 6
I couldn't believe when my name got pulled out of the bowl. Nothing seemed but a horrible dream until the train started pulling away from my home that I most likely would never see again. I sat quietly with my fellow tribute, Mercedes Jones. She hadn't said anything to me since the reaping. I sat in my chair, and then pulled my knees up to my chin and started crying. I'm only 13! I can't win this. Mercedes is 16; at least she has some more experience. I heard her get up, and she started rubbing my back until I stopped crying.
"Its okay, Mike," she said, "It's going to be alright."
"Do you really see either of us getting out of this?" I ask.
"Mike, what do you like to do on your free time?" she asks.
"Dance," I reply.
"You are probably very agile, then," she said, "and quick. Those are advantages in this game. You just need to find your abilities and use them."
"Thanks," I say, "I wish one of us could win."
"I'll protect you, Mike," she says, "and I'll try to win this."
"Thank you," I say.
"Come on, we need to go eat," she said, holding her hand out.
"I'm not hungry," I mutter.
"You need to keep your strength up," she said.
"Fine," I say, taking her hand as she pulls me up. We head to the dining car, to find our mentor, Will. He's really nice, but he seems to know that we know we won't win.
"Hey guys," he says, "you hungry?"
"Not really, but we need to eat," Mercedes said.
"I get it," Will said, "you are nervous. It's okay. I get it."
"Yeah, but you actually had a good chance of winning." I said.
"Hey, I was just one of you guys. I was only 14," he said, "and yet, somehow I won."
"You won because you actually knew how to survive," Mercedes said.
"Look, you two, I'm here to teach you how to win. I know both of you can't come out of there, but I can try to make it sure you both have a chance to."
"Thanks," I said, knowing in my head I won't make it very far.
Puck's POV
District 5
I don't even care that I got reaped. I was going to kick butt at this competition, and I was going to win. Who cares that I'm only from district 5? Everyone seems to think that only Careers can win, but they are wrong. Yeah, it's usually them, but others can win, too. The girl that was reaped with name is Unique Adams. She's pretty, but she didn't take to my flirting. She's probably too intimidated by me. I'll give her time. So, I'm sitting in the dining car with her, maple, our stupid Capital lady, and our mentor, Roz Washington.
"The key to winning is figuring out the enemies' weaknesses and using then to crush them like a bug," she explains. I like this lady.
"You are so right," I say.
"I agree with Noah on this one," Unique said, "we need to kick ass."
"With that attitude, one of you is bound to win," Roz says.
"It's going to be me," I say, "I am like Godzilla. I destroy anything that gets in my way."
"No, it'll be me," Unique said, "I'm smart and hot."
"Guys, stop fighting with each other. I house divided cannot stand," Roz said.
"Whatever," I say, grabbing whatever looks good and putting it on my plate. I fill up and head to my room. I turn on the TV to MTV and watch Jersey Shore until I fall asleep.
Well, that's this group. The finial districts will either be posted later or Monday. I might be able to update at night this weekend, but I'm not sure. Also, I decided to progress the story, because honestly, reapings get boring after a while.
